The Seven Seals of Revelation - By Gene Lawley -http://raptureready.com/featured/lawley/lawley127.html
There are three sets of seven judgments in the Book of Revelation-seven seals, seven trumpets, seven bowls. There is, however, a rather strange difference between the seals and the other two sets of judgments. Each of the seals is opened by the Lamb of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. Each of the trumpet and bowl judgments is activated by angels.
The determination of who could open the seals begins in Revelation 5, where the question is asked, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?" (Revelation 5:2). The answer came quickly: "And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it" (Revelation 5:3).
John wept with concern that no one was qualified to open the scroll and loose its seals, but then one of the twenty-four elders also looking on told him, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals." He was naming the Lord Jesus Christ, as the narrative continues to identify Him and His qualifications in that chapter.
