John, a prophet on a lonely island, has a vision. A bright voice tells him to write what he sees. He sees a scroll with seven seals. When opened, they bring war, hunger, disease, and death. Seven angels blow trumpets, causing storms and darkness. A huge red beast rises, and many people following. But a hero on a white horse fights the beast and wins. John then sees a new world where there is no pain, and life begins again.
