I think that it is important that we know what the 4 horses of the Apocolypse are. The Lord Jesus put them there for a good reason not only for good reading, but to tell us about where we are in His timeclock. Lets look at these " horses of a different color."
This lesson is just fascinating believe me. Some may know it, but i do want to bring about a point that know one has ever told you about..... so let's go. In the book of Revelation we see in chapter 6 the ingredients for the making of 4....here we go....world dominance factors, countries, activities, even flags. Now here we see Jesus showing John the vision of these things...he says come here and see. It must be like a huge television screen, or trance, but it appears they are both looking at the same vision so it must be in way they both watch it happen....
He shows John the White horse first. The rider has a bow, but no arrows, a crown, and told to go conquer. ( which he did ) That was also the first SEAL. ( an era of time )
2nd SEAL, 2nd horse....Red horse, and power was given to that rider to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another and he was given a great sword.
3rd Seal, 3rd horse....Black Horse, and that rider had a set of balances in his hand. We see a coin mentioned, a penny, which is a representation of economy, and he is told not to hurt the oil or the wine. ( which actually represents a class of people )
4th Seal, 4th horse....Pale Horse and the rider's name was Death and what followed him? Hell. Not the place, just hell followed him. Guess what, power was given to him also and he also has a great sword over the fourth part of the earth, and it appears that he is going to kill with hunger and death. Hunger doesn't necessarily mean food. In Gods word, hunger often means the truth of the word...the word being spiritual bread.
Not all will go along with this ( who ever gets a 100% right? ) But I am 100% sure I am correct. I have given lessons on this so we will look at a more condensed version as this goes along with the book of Daniel and just think, Daniel saw this same thing 530 years before Jesus was born! Yet...they are both the same thing. John and Daniel never met, but the same person showed them both the same vision for the future so i think we better pay it some attention since we are right in the middle of the last horse NOW!
Condensed....White Horse..the era is Catholicism. A time on earth when that religion and doctrine went out and covered the whole earth. It sits on every water, and soil today. It moves its rider by white. White helicopter, white plane, white limo...white you name it. The head of this religion..the Pope even wears a white crown, just like Jesus showed John. Many were put to death,,,60 million to be acurately rounding numbers. Then that era quieted down.
The Red Horse was shown next. Communism. The red flag, the Russians, forced people to be communist or they died. They were murdered, or conquered. History shows us that this red army went into countries with their great sword, ( tanks ) planes, whatever need and blew towns into submission until the country complied and became Communist. red, red, red.
Black Horse up next on the big screen. The era of Capitolism takes stage. We like it. We have freedom, liberty, we can work hard and have nice things. But in our economy you can't raise taxes on the rich because they raise prices on the poor. Even our dollar bills have a balance on them...and if the books are in good shape, we say we are in the black. Make sense? Jesus showed this to John.
This is the part I want to open your eyes to. The stinking 4th horse. Notice how it doesn't quite fit the color scheme....White, Red, Black, ..... then Pale? Pale isn't what you call a color. But let me show you something. Remember in Daniel...the Lord God said, Daniel seal up these things until the time of the end. Ok now we are at the end so what is Pale??? Here is the answer. If you look up the word Pale in the Greek dictionary, it is ..." Green!"
So we have a white, red, black and green horse. Now that makes more sense...lets continue.
We are at the time of the end so what era follows the previous? Muslim. Thats right. Muslim. If you look at their marches and protests etc, you see a Green..ish flag. It is white and green. They are masked, they annouce death to everyone..they aren't picky. Kill all of them who don't become followers. After their attempts..it is hell to the area..such as 911. It is hell to think where are they now? They have no truth of the word of God. The followers are starved of the truth of salvation, and the good things Jesus wants to do for them. Folks we are in the Green Horse Era right now.
Here is a link and notice the last pic.
http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/muslimprotest.asphttp://www.protestwarrior.com/newsletters/08_14_05.phpThese two links show the story of islam and you will always notice the paleish green tints to the pics...always some green.
If you continue to read Revelation 6 you see that the bride is in heaven yet, more are dying because of these Muslims.....we are that close to Jesus stepping out on that clould and inviting us to the marriage supper. Our time as the church age is nearly gone. We are to have a national ID BY the year 2008 which is part of the mechanics of the Mark of the New World Government. Can you vision the time frame you are in????
Ask me questions on salvation. I get tons of email from around the world, asking me. Please, get very serious about your soul, time is close.
Let the comments fly...i really appreciate them.
