 The “Sealed Book” is the book of divorcement sent to the Jewish nation from God.Isaac Williams (19th century) associated the first six Seals with the "discourse on the Mount of Olives" and stated that, “The seventh Seal contains the Seven Trumpets within it… the judgments and sufferings of the Church.”

Traditionally, the "historicist" view of the "Seven Seals" in "The Apocalypse" spanned the time period from John of Patmos to Early Christendom.Scholars such as Campegius Vitringa, Alexander Keith, and Christopher Wordsworth did not limit the timeframe to the 4th century.
