Jesus’ purpose in redeeming us with His own blood? Reflect on what is
the meaning and purpose of our lives. What is the end goal of life?
(reference 1 Cor. 8:6, Eph. 1:10, Col. 1:16)
3.  Who breaks the seven seals and initiates the end-time Great
Tribulation? What events happen at the first six seals? Compare these
