“And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.”
When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature call out, 'Come!' — the second seal's opening is introduced by the second creature, maintaining the structural parallel to the first seal.
Church Fathers on Revelation 6:3
“And when He had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red, and to him that sat upon him was given a great sword.” The red horse, and he that sat upon him, having a sword, signify the coming wars, as we read in the Gospel: “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be great earthquakes in various places.” This is the ruddy horse.
