In Revelation 4, the emphasis is on the throne, and that whole vision revealed that everything in all of creation is under the throne of God. In Revelation 5, the emphasis is on the Lamb, and that whole vision revealed that the Lamb is worthy of opening the scroll. In Revelation 6, the Lamb begins the process of opening the scroll and some seemingly strange events take place. However, we must not forget that this is a continuation of the scenes that preceded it. Thus, the primary purpose of the seals is to present theology rather than history.
