Or a reference to "John the Revelator" himself, i.e. St. John who wrote the book of Revelation, the "Book of the Seven Seals." Plus the four lines about Christ and the seemingly apocolyptic theme of the song...it's refreshing to see a religious (I'm assuming) musician not making religious music, per se. I love their early stuff, although it's more melodic than their newer songs, but I think rhythm and melody are underrated in today's music. Not every song has to be 2 minutes of guitar solo and a chorus, you know?
