Revelation 6:1-2 begins the breaking of the seven seals. At the breaking of the first seal, the antichrist is introduced. He is the one sitting on a white horse who has a bow, and a crown that was given to him, and he goes forth to conquer. Even though this is a white horse, and some think that because it is a white horse that this is Christ, this is not Christ. This is the antichrist.
This is the breaking of the first seal. We know today that the antichrist has not yet been revealed. Even though it's possible that he may be alive and walking the earth right now, he has yet to be revealed. Once the first seal is broken, he will be revealed.
So I would say that none of the seals have been broken yet.
I'm looking for the second coming of Christ in glory !
It gets me very happy !

Please note that are still some years left before the antichrist is revealed based on Daniel 11:13, and this is after the wars in Daniel 11:6-12 have taken place. I believe that the opening of the second seal will be the beginning of the wars that are written in Daniel 11:6-45, since even with this 'virus' the world is still at peace.
You are leaving out the perimeters set fourth in the first three verses in Revelation 1-3
.....which shortly come to pass.....
....signified....
.....the time is at hand....
Revelation 22:10 And he said unto me, SEAL NOT the sayings of the prophecy of this book: FOR THE TIME IS AT HAND.
The truths in this book had the same meaning 1900 years ago to those readers as it does to readers today and will have the same meaning to readers in the future.
Daniels words were sealed until the day of the Lord (first time, Christ in the flesh; second time CHRIST IN YOU in a glorified body; to those who look for him, as the Holy Spirit). The Lamb of God who only is worthy to open the seals and declare the MYSTERY of his WORKS which is CHRIST IN YOU. TRUTH, RESURRECTION, and IMMORTALITY.
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his SECRETS UNTO HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS.
The answers to Revelation are hidden in the words of the prophets.
Revelation 22:19 Is a warning: are your answer coming from the prophets or a secular mind.
"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a LIVING SOUL." Gen 2:7
The Hebrew term for a being (nefesh, "being") is often translated "soul," but the word usually refers to the whole person. The phrase living soul (nefesh khayyah, "living being") is used of both animals and human beings.
However, in this instance, we see God who "BREATHED into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a LIVING SOUL."
The Hebrew word for breath (neshamah, "breath") is used for God and for the life imparted to humans, not animals. Its usage in the Bible conveys more than a breathing living organism (nefesh khayyah). Whatever is given this breath of life becomes animated with the life from God,
1) has spiritual understanding ( Job 32:8), and
2) has a functioning conscience (Pro 20:27).
"There is vast different between inspiration and translation"
So what is your point? Of course, they refer to two different things. The Bible was written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Koine Greek. How can we English speaking people understand what was written in these languages unless they are translated into English or other languages for people around the world.
Christians assert that the originals are inspired and translators do their best to convey the words and thought from one language to another. Any and all translations are not inspired, although some King James Only advocates claim that the KJV is just as inspired as the autographs.
I don't believe that quibbling over Bible vs. Scripture or Testament vs. Covenant is worth any time or effort.
I'd like to see the "errors" you claim are in the translation you've referred to.
The word pharmacy comes from the Greek word pharmakeus, which comes from pharmakon meaning 'magician' or 'sorcerer' in Strong's concordance.
Revelation 9:20-21 (KJB)
[20] And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
[21] Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries (Strong's Greek 5333 - pharmakn), nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Revelation 6:1-2 (KJB)
[1] And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
[2] And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
Corona is latin for 'crown'. Coronavirus - 'crown'virus.
A bow but with no arrows. Conquering with a bow without arrows, which I believe means there is no actual warfare. This fake virus is a 'global pandemic', and has effectively 'conquered' the world: mask wearing, social distancing etc.
Strong's Concordance - toxon: a bow
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance - 'From the base of tikto; a bow (apparently as the simplest fabric) -- bow.'
Toxic comes from the word toxon.
This fake virus could possibly be regarded as 'toxic', or at least the 'effects' of it.
Fabric - mask wearing - these masks can be essentially seen as simple fabrics.
Mandated mask wearing - covering the face with a "fabric". A large amount of emphasis has been placed on wearing these masks for this fake virus e.g., people posting pictures with the emphasis being placed on the masks they are wearing. Masks have been required for travel, entrance to stores etc.
Now, first and foremost, as the apostle said,"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. "
For example: number one, Bible, it only can be found on the cover, now, lookup the definition for Bible and Scriptures and you decide which is the most appropriate name for the book. And the book have two covenants, old and new, and not testaments, for the latter is distraction to the true meaning.
In these end time days, there are too few Christians memorizing Scripture. No wonder Christ ponders the question, Luke 18:8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" I will be 95 on July 21, 2021 so I have a lot to accomplish before I go to be with Him!
The black horse denotes darkness Yes, Jesus said word wile you have the light the night comes when no one can work, but think of the set of divine Balances in his hand The Barely= The old Test- the wheat the new Test, see you hurt not the Oil=Faith and wine= Spirit...These horses riders are the revealing of the WORD of GOD...? What is the 4th horse rider a rep-Of,,= You mite be surprised, he is not what you think he is , Ask the Question !!!
If so, we start to read about these 'beasts', otherwise translated from the Greek, as living creatures, in Revelation chapter 4:6. You can read about their description from that verse onwards, but they seem to be located in "the midst & round about the Throne of God", signifying a very real part of the Presence & Holiness of God. Of course, the Apostle John could not see God, as no human can do, so all these visions that John received, were to show him something of the beings & activity in Heaven - and that all there, are in constant worship of the One Who lives eternally & to fulfil His Plans for the World. These 'beasts' are not angels & they are also distinct from the other beings that are in Heaven & that surround the Throne of God.
What or who are the beast? Who are these beast?
Genesis 24:3 Abraham enlisted his eldest Servant (a type LIKENED to Gabriel, when he approached the Virgin Mary).
Abraham made the servant promise to bring Isaac a wife from his kindred. For us, that would mean: BRING A CHRISTIAN, not an unbeliever! Don't fall in love OUT of your faith and expect God to make it work for you. Marriage vows are sacred. Don't plan for a divorce.
The servant worships God 3 times, for giving him confirmations he has found the right mate for Isaac. (12,26,52) She was a Christian, a Virgin, love at first sight. Isaac loved her all the days of his life.
She was given gifts: not her doing all the giving. Propriety was observed.
Male or female, these same principals can be applied in a Christian dating situation. You'll be respected and right in the eyes of God.
Worldliness will turn the whole thing sideways. Don't go into it expecting to lead your mate to Jesus AFTER marriage. The door is wide open for Satan to enter in and make all those plans, implode.
How can two walk together unless they be in agreement? Dating a Carnal Christian is just as hazardous as dating an unbeliever.
Pray and ask God for confirmations (Not Signs). Satan is in charge of 'lying signs and wonders'.
So read Genesis 24. Remember how King David's life was complicated by taking another mans wife, getting her pregnant and the having her husband killed in battle.
If we include God in our search, there's no way it's going to fail. I love the way the servant prays details, from large to smallest. Happy camel watering.
