Writing in Thirteen Lectures on … the Apocalypse of the events of the sixth seal, which records the eventual triumph of Christianity over paganism as the sole religion of the Roman Empire, Brother Robert Roberts observes that: “This change was one which affected the entire civilized world. Rome wielded universal empire over the civilized races of men, so that what affected Rome affected all the earth, and a change so radical, effected so violently, could not better be represented than by the symbolism of the sixth seal. It was a change that took considerable time to accomplish. It was not the work of one year. It occupied several years”.[1] In the words of one historian: “paganism was dying a slow death”. [2]
