A. 7:1–8: John “sees” (Meta_ tou~to ei]don) the four angels holding back the winds of the earth; he “sees” (kai\ ei]don) another angel coming with the seal of God; he “hears” (h!kousa) the number of each of the tribes of the 144,000 to be sealed.
Scene B. 7:9–17: Here, John “sees” (Meta_ tau~ta ei]don) the great multitude; he “hears” (implicit) their songs (vv. 10, 11); he then “hears” (implicit) the description and explanation of who the crowd is.
Clearly, then, the pattern of analogues is different in 5:5–6 and 7:1–8, 9–17. This is not to say that John does not intend some relation between the two. Most likely, he does. The point is that the relation must be made based on interpretation, not on the form of the analogues. Indeed, we suggest that this is one of the most beneficial aspects of our analysis — that it allows for a more explicit and accurate understanding of the relation of passages through the text of the Apocalypse.
