In reference to several recent posters that contend the seals have been opened, "Herb" of Fulfilledprophecy.com ("What Herb Thinks") makes a very persuasive case in which he contends that the seals HAVE NOT been opened, (and more importantly, that we the "church" will be around to see the "little horn").....
 
He points out that the scene in Heaven as described in Rev 4 & 5 is also described in Daniel 7:9-10......However, this "scene" in Daniel is sandwitched between the "little horn" "uprooting" three horns (verse 8), and the "little horn" speaking "great words" back on earth (verse 11).....
 
Therefore, the "scene in Heaven" wont occure until AFTER the 3 horns have been uprooted, thus the 7 seals are also "yet future"....
 
Herb warns that this message will not be well received, since it seems to show that we will be around to see the little horn.....(If the rapture occures during the "scene in heaven" like many contend).....
 
Guess what!!  Herb was right.....Those who Ive shared this thought with have not been receptive.....But anyway, it proves (to me at least) that the seal have not been opened.....
