A note:  If you can imagine a great court scene in Heaven where a verdict is about to be handed down, this is what's happening.  Trouble is, not just anyone is worthy to open the seals and read the verdicts so a search went forward.  In the end, Jesus was worthy not only to open the seals but as you will see, pronounce judgments on the evil empires of the earth.
