These are three symbolic sets of seven prophecies found in the book of Revelation. They all overlap and lead in to one another as a chronological progression of end time global events unfold, culminating with the return of Jesus Christ to earth with the Kingdom of God.
The seven seals are the major global events for which God's servants are to watch. Their mysterious symbols, which hide the meaning of the events, Jesus Christ interprets in Matthew 24... speaking plainly to His disciples privately on the Mount of Olives. Jesus strips away six out of seven of their mysteries in the 6th chapter of Revelation, opening up the end time events for His servants to watch for and know to expect.
The seventh seal is the "Day of the Lord"... the prophesied time of Jesus actual return. This seal is opened in Revelation 8. It's composition is "seven trumpets" [verse 2].
The seven seals exist in overlapping stages of global events. The first four are the "four horsemen of the Apocalypse [Revelation]." These are revealed to be the ongoing state of affairs on earth -- false religion, war, famine pestilence, disease. They are to build, increase and intensify with the increase in man's technology and global travel capabilities [...many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased... - Dan.12:4].
They are described by Jesus in Matthew 24:4-8.
The fifth seal is the Great Tribulation... described by Jesus in Matthew 24:9-29.
The sixth seal is the "heavenly signs" [global darkening of the sun and moon, meteor and asteroid showers, earthquakes, etc] that shall cut short the Tribulation to prevent all life on earth from coming to an end [Matt.24:22 & 29].
These seven trumpets are revealed to be "plagues" -- Rev.9:20. Jesus is prophesied to return at "THE LAST TRUMP."
The "last trump" is sounded at the end of the Two Witnesses' testimony, which takes place during the Great Tribulation, summarized in Revelation 11. After the last Trumpet sounds -- JESUS GATHERS HIS ELECT, as prophesied. The "dead in Christ" rise first to meet Him in the clouds [of whom are now the dead Two Witnesses].
"...the Spirit of Life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet... and they ascended up to heaven in a cloud..." (Rev.11:11-12).
"...the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE BECOME THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, AND OF HIS CHRIST; and He shall reign for ever and ever." (verse 15)
Following the last trumpet and the gathering of God's saints into the clouds above the earth with Christ... the last seven "vial plagues" of God's wrath -- Rev.16 -- [the "fury of the Lord poured out"] are poured out on the remnant of the nations on earth before Jesus completes His descent upon the earth with His saints and His angelic army to destroy man's war-making capabilities at Armageddon... and smash all of man's governments, to take over the rule of the nations on earth for a thousand years.
The seven seals, trumpets and vials of Revelation are the revealed global events the nations of the earth can expect to happen as the prophesied time of Jesus Christ's return draws nearer.

What stories are in the book of revelation?
There are no 'stories' in the Book of Revelations, only the final timeline of things yet to occur. Revelations speaks of the 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets which include the last 3 Woes, and the Great Day of the Lord which has 7 Vials. Then the end of the 'Reign of Man' and the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ and His 1st fruits. It concludes with the Great White Throne Judgement process and finally the 3rd Resurrection of the Damed into the Lake of Fire. After all this and the purging of the Earth by the Lake of Fire, God the Father will establish His tabernacle among His spiritual sons & daughters for eternity and beyond.
What are the seven seals in the Bible?
Answer:The seven seals are found in Revelation chapter 6. They completely seal the scroll of end time prophecies that culminate with the return of Jesus Christ to the earth. They each symbolize the major global end time events that tell God's elect how close His return is.The first four seals are four different colored horses with riders (the famous four horsemen of the Apocalypse), which Jesus reveals are: war, famine, pestilence, diseases and earthquakes... the main staple of man's existence on the earth from the beginning.These things will increase in intensity and severity over time, as wars grow more deadly, which results in the increase and severity of the other plagues of the horsemen.The fifth seal is revealed by Jesus in the 24th chapter of Matthew, verses 9-28, as a time of historically unprecedented Great Tribulation around the world in which His church is persecuted and pursued by Satan and the nations who hate and wish to kill His people. Some are arrested and killed for the mere utterance of His name, while others are protected by the earth.The sixth seal is a time of "heavenly signs"... the darkening of the sun and the moon, earthquakes, meteor and asteroid showers, mountains and islands in the sea shifting. It will cause men to halt their frenzied persecutions and pogroms against God's elect, and to look up at the darkness and ponder what's coming.The seventh seal is composed of "two sets of sevens." The first set is "seven trumpets" given to seven angels of God to sound, which results in the first seven plagues of God to be unleashed, marking it as the prophesied "Day of the Lord" when Jesus returns to earth with the Kingdom of God.He returns "at the last trump"... at the sounding of the last trumpet blast. (Rev.11)With the blast of the seventh trumpet, Jesus appears in the dark clouds above the earth - the brilliance of the sun and fire circumference the earth as He sends His angels to gather His elect as they go. (Matt.24:30-31)But, before He completes His descent upon the Mount of Olives with all of His resurrected and gathered saints and His army of angels... the second and last set of seven "vials of God's wrath" is poured out on the earth by seven angels. (Rev.16)Satan causes the armies of the nations of the world to gather at Armageddon to stage all of their military might there... and try to defeat the "alien invaders" descending upon the earth. Jesus descends upon the earth, destroys all of man's military capability and his governments... and establishes the Kingdom of God on the earth.These are the seven seals in the Bible.
Why was the Book of Revelation included in the Bible?
Originally, all the gospels were written anonymously, but around 180 CE Irenaeus identified the author of the fourth gospel as the apostle John, son of Zebedee. The Book of Revelation is signed by a person called John, and it was subsequently decided that that this John was the same as the John who wrote the Gospel of the same name, although the theology is strikingly different. If the book had been written by one of the apostles, then the Church would have wanted to include it in the New Testament. So, as a result of this decision, a strange book, that might otherwise have been lost to history, was preserved in the New Testament.Answer:"All scripture is given by inspiration of God..." (II Tim.3:16). Therefore, are all the books of the Bible included by His inspiration.Revelation "completes" the Bible. Genesis marks the beginning of God's plan... Revelation marks its conclusion... the return of Jesus Christ with His Kingdom - and the NEW BEGINNING:"...Behold, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW. And He said unto me, Write: for THESE WORDS ARE TRUE AND FAITHFUL. And He said unto me, IT IS DONE. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the Water of Life freely. He that overcometh SHALL INHERIT ALL THINGS [all things includes the universe, which God created, which Jesus inherited first... and which the Bible says He will share with His brothers]; and I will be his God, and HE SHALL BE MY SON." (Rev.21:6-7)"...God [the Father]... hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom HE HATH APPOINTED HEIR OF ALL THINGS, by whom also He made the worlds..." (Heb.1:1-2)."...WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD: and if children, then HEIRS; HEIRS OF GOD, and JOINT-HEIRS WITH CHRIST..." (Rom.8:16-17).The inspiration of Revelation brings to full circle all the Prophets' promises of the "Day of the Lord"... the time of the return of Jesus Christ to establish the good news of the Kingdom of God on earth - the heart and soul of the message of the Bible."...there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages, should serve Him: and His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall never be destroyed... the saints of the Most High shall take the Kingdom, and possess the Kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever." (Dan.7:14-18)."...the time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." (Mark 1:15)"...behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be." (Rev.22:12)The setting of John's inspirational vision was on THE LORD'S DAY:"...I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day..." (Rev.1:10)... which many men take to mean a particular "day of the week," which some suppose to be Sunday.But the storyline of Revelation is clearly about the DAY OF THE LORD: the "seventh seal"... the final prophetic global events that lead up to and include the final seven vials of God's wrath poured out on the earth, followed by Jesus' triumpful return to the earth MAKING WAR! And the remaking of the earth, when His Father descends upon it for the "new beginning" - with the completed newborn Family of God beginning its new life in Eternity. God's Children... who will just be starting out. Who will have the whole universe out there to play with.The Bible's message is incomplete without Revelation. It's both the end... and a new beginning.
Where do we see Mathematics in God's work of Creation?
God made 7 days God said, you shall labour for six days, and on the 7th day you shall rest. God said rest on the 7th day which is (Saturday The Sabbath) God will pour out 7 vials upon the earth, in the last days. The Godhead:The Trinity - The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. The Bible is full of numbers that the Lord uses, too many for me to remember. Eveything about us, our world as well as the universe involves mathematics. Absolutely everything can be broken down into a mathematical equation. The trees, mountains, stars, the air we breathe. The existence of math is in itself an act of creation. We define mathematic's as ' ...any form of calculation..' whether we write it, say it or think it, we are alway's using math. From picking up a glass of water to throwing a football we are alway's calculating. We know that the speed of light is about 186,000 miles per second, human's did not invent or create this eqation, we discovered it. This means that the equation was already in place long before humans came into being just waiting to be found. Where did the math come from? God is a mathetician of the highest degree, it was Him that figured out just how big the earth should be, how much air and water it could hold, how much life it can support, the precise orbit and distance from the sun and constructing an ozone layer to protect it all. From hearts that beat 60 times a minute to setting our clocks based on the position of the planets accurate to within 2/10,000ths of a second. We see God's work evidenced with mathematics throughout creation.

Why do the four living creatures sing holyholyholy?
God is Holy and often He is praised highly in the three fold form. Holiness is God's most salient attribute.

The three sets in Revelation are: the seven seals on the scroll, the seventh seal is composed of seven trumpets, and the seventh trumpet is composed of the seven vials... the last of God's wrath poured out on the earth, prior to His final descent upon it. With the entire scenario revealing the "perfect completion" of God's plan and the "new beginning" [Rev.21:5]. Eternity.In this same way, the triple use of "Holy" in praise of God symbolizes His "Perfect Holiness."
