“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.”
Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures call out, as with a voice of thunder, 'Come!' — as the Lamb unseals God's purpose, each seal releases an apocalyptic judgment. The living creature's thunderous summons (deuro, come) invokes the next judgment; the first creature corresponds to the first seal, establishing the living creatures' role in enacting eschatological events.
