Revelation
Ch 6 – chronological
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
Some believe this is the false church – it will derive from Catholicism and others believe it will be a combination of sue do religions. Is it the antichrist? – Whatever it is Do not be deceived!
Zech C6 V3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
Matt C24 V4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. V5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
Some believe this represents communism Some believe it represents Russia or just war
A point of view, Eze C38 V21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
Zec C6 V2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
Matt C24 V6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. V7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and seethou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Some believe this is the world economy – oil & wine represent the finer things in life Some believe is world famine due to the wars from the Red Horse
Zec C6 V2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
Matt C24 V7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Amos C8-V9 And it shall come to pass in that day, said the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day: V10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day. V11 Behold, the days come, said the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: V12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. V13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
famines?
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Some believe this is Islam were pale in the Greek is actually green Some believe this is pestilence
Zec C6 V3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
Matt C24 V7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
pestilences! 1/4 or 25% of human race killed at 4th seal so 75% remains
Matt C24 V8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
beginning of sorrows/last 7 years/tribulation)
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
A belief, people will turn to Christ and be persecuted till Yeshua comes again
All believers prior to the last 7 years who died for word of GOD in Rev C12 V9, V10 and first part of Rev C12 V11, plus believers’ who died for word of GOD in the last 7 years – tribulation saints last part of Rev C12 V11
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
