The Lamb initiates the destruction represented by the 7 seals.

I believe it is directed against those who are not believers.

I think it is because God always gives us problems so that we can seek Him. Unfortunately we often refuse to turn to Him. Here we can see the same thing happening

It is the Lamb (Jesus) who initiates the great storm of destruction by opening the first seal.

It is directed against the unbelievers still left on earth.

It is just because they have been given ample time to repent and trust Christ as their Savior.

Jesus through His victorious life and death,has earned the right to open the seven seals which initiate the avenging destruction.

Ezekiel 14:21 speaks of severe judgements againt Jerusalem.

Justice must finally be done with all who have not honoured the Lord. Rev 6:15 says Kings and slaves - all manner of men - will suffer God's wrath, and prefer to hide in caves and rocks - even an avalanche would be preferable to facing a wrathful God.

Martyrs have suffered violence (4th seal).

God has suffered idolatry. :P

Men have constantly done violence :ph34r: to one another (and thus to God) and God hates violence :angry: which He calls treachery (Habukkuk 2:10, 14, 15, 16). He calls it "profaning God's covenant," (OT or NT), which produces treachery :ph34r: (defficiency in loving?) against God and our fellow man.

We can include ourselves in this covenant, :) since, through Jesus, we are the true children of Abraham (of faith).

Therefore Father God has every reason, once the Gospel has gone out through all the world, to hold each man accountable for his response to Truth. Accountability is just. God's wrath is righteous. His Holy Spirit is offended.

The Laamb who was given the scroll with the seven seals is the One who initiates the strom of destruction. The Lamb of God, Jesus. He is the one worthy to open the seals. He was the ransom that was paid for all the sins of the world. He paid the one and only price that was to be paid. He redeemed those who will believe in Him. In that He paid the price by His death on the cross, He and only He can begin the final judgment.

It is just, because God is just. It is against His nature to be unjust. This judgment is against those whom have rejected His plan for salvation. Mankind has had opportunity upon opportunity to accept Jesus. Even through the time of tribulation there appears to be opportunity to repent but, many will still reject the conviction of the Holy Spirit during this time and so God is just in His dealing with man.

Q1. (Revelation 6)

Who initiates this great storm of destruction represented by the Seven Seals?

I believe God initiates it, sets it going by handing over the scroll and Jesus excutes it.

God on the throne seen by John is holding the scroll and a messenger, an angel calls outs, "who is worthy?". Jesus is seen standing at the throne and the scroll is given to him by God. I believe God determines and initiates when it will start by the handing of the scroll to Jesus and by Jesus opening the seals sets the great storm of destruction in motion. The Son obeys the Father and does the Father's will. For the words of the scroll are written and told of in the Bible, words of God for the future, God's plan and His choice when. Jesus says in Matthew 24:36, "no one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father".

Against whom is it directed?

All in heaven and those on earth, all of God's creation does it apply to:

1. Those who have not accepted God's Son, Jesus; John 3:16.

2. Those who have not washed their robes.

3. Those who did not, will not and, do not repent, from all time of creation.

4. Those who are dogs, those who practise magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practises falsehood.

5. Those who are not the elect, chosen or sealed (marked by God).

Is it just?

Yes, it is just. God is God and we are not. God is in control, He is the creator. He had set the universal laws from the beginning of time. The Last Days is a standard of correctness, to wipe everything clean again and right. What had been destroyed by Satan or mankind of His creation is being restored by the great storm of destruction.

God sent his Son to earth so we may have everlasting life. Jesus was given to us and His birth is the gift to us. The gift from the Father to us is His Son. A gift so we may believe; conform. Jesus one with the Father are one; are Love and Justice.

I think of Noah and the people in those days and what happened then. God wiped out and started the world afresh. The Last Days is like a cleansing preparation for the New Jerusalem, paradise, heaven on earth, God's Kingdom.

I think of scripture in the Bible which referred to Lucifer's fall in heaven. I think of Adam and Eve; the fall of man. I think back to the book of Genesis, in the writtings of Noah. God cleansed the earth with water and in the Last Days all of creation with fire. Fire is used to take out contamination and a good sterilizer in the science work field.

What is lawful is just; is rightful. And what is rightful is determined by the law maker. What is known in the Word is that all what was created is good. As in Genesis, God saw that all he made, it was very good. What God sees is what is not good. And as to the law what is written, that what is not good, but is chaff, is thrown out, cast into the fire. What is good is kept and remains good in God's eyes. The wheat is collected, His harvest. God is pure and Holy so are we to be too. The new Jerusalem is perfectiveness, heaven on earth.

God gave Jesus authority and the power to Judge. He gave to His Son the administration of who is just. Jesus will come again in justice the second time around. When He came to earth as man, it was with (agape) love, with the Father's love, to show us the way. In the Word, God speaks about disobedience, rebellion and the consequences that will follow. The OT Bible contains the law. Jesus, the beginning of NT, did not come to abolish the law but fulfill it. The blessings of obedience. Those that are God's, heaven and earth, have the law written into their heart and mind.

God's law applies for heaven and earth, all of God's Kingdom. God allows for those going through the Last Days to repent up until "it is done". God gives and gave and gives again chances to change, and as always from beginning to end in the Bible.

Forever it will be, He is merciful and just, looking from the books of Genesis to Revelation. There are many accounts of His mercy and forgiveness. God is the same as yesterday, today and tomorrow and never changes. He was, He is and He will always be just and faithful. All His ways are just, Deutronomy 32:4, "He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he". Yes, it is just.

The Lamb is the only one worthy of opening the scrolls - the first rider out on the white horse is the antichrist - who will work hard to destroy any ones faith in God. Gods wrath is directed against the anitchrist and his followers - all those who do not believe and have not repented

Christ is the one to open the seals and set them to work against the earth. It is just because God is just. He has the final say in everything and we've all been given plenty of warnings about what is coming. :rolleyes:

After the fullfilling of all things, Jesus opens the seals containing the final destruction of evil and evil people, but foremost for the glorifying of His saints :).

Rev 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed withseven seals. (2) And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, who is worthy to open the book, and loose the seals therof? (5) And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. (9) And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blook out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 6:1And when I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beast saying, Come and see. The seals are directed against, "Satan",. Genesis 3:15, And I will put enimity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (Cain) was satan's seed. Genesis 4:11 Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare CAIN, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. 4:2 And she again bare his brother Able (Adam's Seed). They were twins. Genesis 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass,when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. 4:9 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; (12) When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strengh; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. (13) And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. (Cain's offspring) are the "KENITES" GENESIS15:19, THE KENITES, AND THE kENIZZITES, and the KADMONITES, these are not all of them,( You can look them up in the dictionary) Numbers 24:21, And he (Jesus), looked on the KENITES, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock. ALL of CAIN'S children have the seed of Satan. They are still on this earth today. And also those who choose to not beleive that Jesus was ressurected from his death on the cross, to defeat Satan's first goal, SIN, and DEATH. 2 Thessalothians 2:3, Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin (satan) be revealed, the son of perdition. (4) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Micheal is going kick Satan and his fallen angels out on this earth for 5 months, at the 6th seal , the 6th vial, the 6th trump. Satan's number is 666. He and his false prophets will be here to decieve any one who has the mark of the beast( his mark) in their forehead, and in their hand, (doing his evil works.(Study God's Elect) Matthew 24"24 For there shall arise false christ, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch, (if it were possible), they shall deceive the very elect. The elect are the one's who don't worship Satan when he comes to this earth, and sit on the throne in Jersuleum, pretending, to be Jesus, who has come to save you. We (ALL) of us who are still living at this time, the good, the bad, and the ugly) There is no such thing as a 'RAPTURE', the word is not in the bible, We will all transcend into spiritial body's at the Seventh Trump, the comming of " THE REAL JESUS CHRIST" Rev.8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. Rev. 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the BEAST, and upon them which worshipped his image. Rev. 20:3 And cast him into the botomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, til the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. One day with man is as a thousand years with the LORD. Rev. 22:16, I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. Rev. 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in ths book

Re question 1 , who are these seals directed against? They are directed against an unbelieving and unrepentent world who will not listen nor receive the truth of God's word. Sad to say ,even now ,in our country [and others ] slowly but,surely the Word of God is being portrayed as just another book about Jesus ,but with not much credibility. How it must grieve God to see His creation turn from Him even in the midst of these terrible times. God bless.

The Lamb is the only one worthy to open the seals - the Lamb who was slaim to receive power, riches, wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. In opening the first seal: "noise of thunder (...) behold a white horse (strength): (...)had a bow (God's covenant); and a crown (crowns are given to those who overcome) (...)".

Against whom? "(...) the kings (leaders, prince, commander) of the earth, (...) the great men (grandees, magnates, nobles, chief men), (...) rich men (wealthy, abounding in material resources), (...) chief captains (chiliarch, commander, military commander), (...) mighty men (powerful, able, might, strong, wealthy and influential), (...) bondman (slave, those in service, devoted with disregard of one's own interests, attendant), (...) free man (not a slave, freed, exempt, unrestrained) (...)". In essence, everyone who has not the seal or is chosen.

Is it just? The Lord is always just - that's what the scales (balance) symbolize. Integrity, a delight (Prov 16:11:1) (Prov 16:11 "a just weight and balnace are the Lord's: all the weights of th bag are his work").

REVELATION

Chapter 16

"Angels Pour out their Vials"

It is only Jesus Christ that will return to earth, as part of the Godhead, for the Millennium period [age]. The full Godhead will be on earth following the Millennium in person. Those that remain in heaven during the Millennium age are those that overcame and were cleansed by the blood of the Lamb. It is those that have died in this earth age, and went to be with the Lord.

However, in chapter sixteen, while the heaven is locked, this chapter reveals what will happen on earth during the lock-out time.

Revelation 16:1 "And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials [seven bowls] of the wrath of God upon the earth."

These are the same vials of God's wrath spoken of in Revelation 15:6-8. You will notice also that though the time of chapter 15 is on the Lord's day, the first day of the Millennium age, these seven plagues are actually the seven trumpets.

This is not a war, as such, but a revival of religious order. It is going to happen in the church, and religious communities. It is to deceive and draw those out of God's Word, to the Antichrist. You will not understand what the tribulation is all about, if you do not understand that it is a spiritual warfare. The lies Satan uses will be distortions right out of the Bible.

The happenings we are about to see is all part of that cup Jesus spoke of in the Garden before His crucifixion. That cup of wrath is poured out towards all those who are deceived, and receive the Antichrist and his system.

Revelation 16:2 "And the first went, and poured out his vial [bowl] upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image."

Those that partake of that system are going to have these sores upon them. That sore in the Greek is "Helkos", and means "ulcer". It comes from your participation in that "one world system", and is caused by the deception placed in your mind by the Kenites. Everyone knows what causes ulcers, worry and stress.

What is even more tragic is the blot it places upon your soul. The loss of your eternal life.

Revelation 16:3 "And the second angel poured out his vial [bowl] upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea."

If you take this literally, it sounds like all life forms on earth will cease. Well, the "sea" are the people themselves. It is a multitude of people. Their death is a spiritual death, because they were deceived by the false Messiah. This vile is placed into the hands of the two witnesses [see Revelation 11:6].

Revelation 16:4 "And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they [it] became blood."

God will place people in positions where they will be falling for the Antichrist's deception hook, line and sinker. Men who think they know God's Word [the fountains of living waters], are instead led to the distortions of Antichrist's "fountains of waters". They will become deceived [blood]. The strong miracles, wonders, and delusions of Antichrist [satan] will make him appear in their eyes as the Christ. They will simply worship the wrong christ, the Antichrist. He is the fake...get it?

Revelation 16:5 "And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus."

These "waters" [people] are God's elect, and all those who have the seal of God in their minds [foreheads]. They know that what is happening, is in God's plan [bible], and they are praising God, and worshipping Him for keeping His Word.

Revelation 16:6 "For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy."

This is part of God's master plan. What happens does not fit man's plans, but what God has written. God's sealed elect will know that know God's plan for them and the events of this earth age.

The saints here are those who claim to know Jesus, and say they are saved; yet will be deceived; and the prophets are the false prophets. These people though their mouths claim one thing, they will not leave the false teachings, and the traditions, not of God's Word. They are "worthy of the judgments of God's wrath". See also Revelation 11:6.

Revelation 16:7 "And I heard another out of the altar say [the altar saying], Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments."

Revelation 16:8 "And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire."

The sun is suppose to give light. In this verse, many believe we are all going to die of intense heat. However, this is also talked about in Revelation 11:5. It is another power God gives to the two witnesses. Don't take this in the physical sense; for this is one of the ways many are going to be deceived.

The true Word of God burns as a fire, and turns many away, as they put their will over that of God's will. They close their minds to God and His Word, and that word will be their consuming fire on the day of Judgment. "God is a consuming fire," as we read about it in Hebrews 12:29.

Revelation 16:9 "And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory."

The two witnesses are trouble makers to the world. Their words will stir such hatred in the church world, so that only God's elect and those sealed can understand what is going on. The blasphemies of God's word by these men are going to be accepted as from God. These are, such as the perversion of Sodomy being accepted in many churches today. Churches will be forced to accept many things under this new Godless one world order, that is disgusting to the true saint of God. The church will soon completely blend with the world system, and our society, and will accept abortion, sodomy, and many forms of heathen religious customs. These will all be blended and made acceptable to the Christian community in due time.

This is why it will be accepted as being from God. This, combined with false doctrine will give added support for the so called Christians to hate God's two witnesses. They do it in ignorance. Their rapture theory will convince them it's time to fly, and the Antichrist will be their pilot.

Revelation 16:10 "And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat [throne] of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain."

You should be able to fix this instantly in your mind. This time is spoken of in II Thessalonians 2, and Daniel 9:27. It is when Satan [Antichrist] stands in the holy place in Jerusalem, claiming to be God. It's called the "Abomination of desolation" by our Lord Jesus Christ, and this seat of the beast is on mount Zion, in Jerusalem. This is also where the authority that will rule the world wide system will be. When peace finally comes to Israel, and Jerusalem, you will start to see the Kenites moving their world wide government from New York, Belgium, and Switzerland; to Jerusalem.

This is why the Middle east peace accords are so important to them. It signals the approach of this one world system's true leader [satan] arriving.

Revelation 16:11 "And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds."

It is here that the two witnesses will face Satan directly, and cause much of the earth's hardships to come to pass. Later it is where the Antichrist will kill them. That place is Jerusalem. Christians included, all people will curse God through his two witnesses. The Christian world still will not have figured out that their conflict has come from their own deeds and blaspheming of God. When Satan speaks as God, These Christians still will not know what they have done; and that's why they have not repented.

Revelation 16:12 "And the sixth angel poured out his vial [bowl] upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared."

The word "Euphrates" means "across the river" in Hebrew. That is where the people of "Heber" came from, God's people. Euphrates river has always been the boundary between God's children, and Babel, or "Babylon".

In the final generation of the end times, this river of boundary between Israel and Babel, or "Babylon" will dry up, and Babylon will over flow, and take over, because they will be alike in their doctrine. They will be as one, under the Antichrist, and his one world system. There will be very few that will not take part in this deception.

The religion of Babylon will overtake Christianity; Israel will have become Babylon. The two will be joined as one, and most Christians of today will take part in that marriage with Antichrist [satan].

Revelation 16:13 "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet."

You know who the dragon is, it's Satan. These frogs are the lies, and blasphemies, which flow out of the mouths of the Kenites, and all those who have accepted their Satanic dogma even now. These spirits, or lies will deceive the whole earth. They are the teachings of love, peace, joy and brotherhood, only to the wrong Christ, to the wrong kingdom, and to the wrong people.

Revelation 16:14 "For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles [signs], which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty."

These spirits are not of God, nor of the Holy Spirit, but of the Antichrist and his frog spirits. They will work miracles for the whole world to observe, and they will prepare the peoples of the whole earth for the battle against Almighty God. It's coming, friend; and the work of these frog spirits of devils has already formed, and is spreading like wild fire. Satan's children, the Kenites [fake or non-Judah Jews] have their four hidden dynasties put together and functioning today. Those dynasties are Education [from home, (TV) schools and media], Economics [banking, commerce, and industry], Political [governments], and Religion [through their world council of Churches].

The Kenites are ready for their father Satan, and they are preparing you also for their celebration. Satan will put all he has into this battle, and I have no doubt, he even thinks he can win. He knows God's Word [the Bible], and it is clear he has a limited mind, and is totally underestimating the power of God.

Revelation 16:15 "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame."

This is Jesus Christ speaking again. The apparel that all men [no gender] will be wearing, will be that of their works. Where are your works going to be directed?

Revelation 16:16 "And he gathered them together into a place called in the He'-brew tongue Ar-ma-ged'-don."

If you have repented, and are sealed in your mind, this place does not exist for you. Once you have repented and come to know God's Word, The Antichrist will not be tempting to you. You know Satan is coming first, then after the five months of Antichrist's world rule, the seventh trumpet will sound, and Jesus Christ will return to earth.

This gathering at Arm-ageddon [Megiddo] is not the saints of God, but those in Satan's kingdom; to do battle with God. "Megiddo" means "the gathering place of the crowd", and that crowd is Satan's. They have gathered to do battle with Jesus Christ. This is no secret to Satan, only to ignorant Christians who refuse to study God's Word.

The Antichrist knows he has five month, for it is written. He knows where and when Christ would return, and every other detail concerning the return of Christ: Why? Because it is written in the Scriptures. That place is on mount Zion, because that is where Jesus Christ is going to return, when His feet touch the ground. Satan will be ruling from there, his people will be there, and that is where the Battle of Armageddon will take place. Because it is written.

The whole battle of the end times is over the Word of God, a spiritual battle, and it is through your understanding of that Word [bible] that you will survive spiritually. It is a battle for your eternal soul.

Revelation 16:17 "And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done."

This is happening on the "Lord's day", when Christ shall return. The full time of the battle will more then likely, be a time less that an hour. The tribulation, up to the Seventh trumpet is false teaching, and bad religion. On this day of the Lord, God will take His cup of wrath, and pour it out on the earth, on all those who refuse to study His Word. It is aimed at those who follow, or allowed the Kenites to lead them into Antichrist's arms.

Satan is the prince of the air, and this vial is poured out upon him, when Satan stands up, following his declaration that he is God. He will have just killed the two witnesses of God, who have plagued the earth in their accusations towards all mankind, and the people of the earth will be in celebration. God will have had His fill of all of them.

"It is done", came the voice of God, and the wrath of God is being poured out on the people of the earth.

Revelation 16:18 "And there were voices, and thunders, and lightning's; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great."

When Christ died on the cross, His last words were "It is finished", and we entered into the period we call "Grace" today. It was a new age.

When the Antichrist declares himself God in the Abominable act, God will say "It is done", and then we will start another new age. The start of this new age will be the flattening of Jerusalem, where not one stone will be left standing upon another.

Revelation 16:19 "And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Bab'-y-lon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

Jerusalem will fall, as will all major cities of the world. "Came in remembrance" means God's wrath is poured out upon her. Great Babylon is the "Mother of Harlots", the head of all religions, and she will have the Antichrist, Satan, as it's head. This wrath is coming to this generation, because it is the last generation of this flesh age. We identify this fact by the fact that Jesus said that the generation that saw the Fig Tree [Nation of Israel of the Jews] planted in Palestine, "that generation shall not pass [die off] until all prophecy came into being". Matthew 24:32-35, Mark 13:28-31.

Jesus prayer on the cross: "let not this cup.. etc.."; He is praying for all those who would be deceived, for He knew God's wrath would fall upon them. Put this in true perspective, friend. That prayer was for us, you and I living at the time of the Antichrist, in our generation, and the cup of God's wrath is going to fall on our friends and loved-ones who take Satan's name and number. It will fall on all, but the few that have God's seal in their minds.

Revelation 16:20 "And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found."

Every cell of religious order will be gone, with no nations or governments left in existence. The world system will be dead, over and gone. The only kingdom from this time ever, will be the Kingdom of Jesus Christ right here on earth. This is the start of His Millennium kingdom, and every knee will bow to him, and confess Jesus Christ as Lord.

Revelation 16:21 "And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great."

This is the destruction physically of Satan's crowd at Megiddo, and it is God who will destroy them with hail stones weighing about 180 pounds. Did mankind repent when the stones came? No, in fact they will curse God for it. This is the end of one worldism, and the Antichrist. I hope you will not be deceived also by them and waiting for the wrath of God.

Now is the time to prepare your heart and mind to stand against the Antichrist, and put on your spiritual armor, as spoken of in Ephesians 6:10-20.

Q1. (Revelation 6) Who initiates this great storm of destruction represented by the Seven Seals?

Rev 5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

Against whom is it directed?

Against Satan and his followers.

Is it just?

Yes, it is just. It is the will of God.
