Revelation 6 is the sixth chapter of the Book of Revelation or the Apocalypse of John in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The book is traditionally attributed to John the Apostle,[1][2] but the precise identity of the author remains a point of academic debate.[3] This chapter describes the opening of the first six of the seven seals.[4] The opening of the seventh seal is recorded in chapter 8.[4] Four horses and their riders, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, emerge as the first four seals are opened.
