We look with hope to the opening of the first seal, when the white horse and rider will come forth overcoming and to overcome. This will mean that the church will be in a state when it is able to overcome the world, and we will see a multitude that cannot be numbered standing before the throne. As we have considered in the past couple of weeks, we need to overcome within the church before there can be an overcoming of the world. In order to do this, it is clear that we need to watch.
