THE FOUR HORSEMAN OF THE APOCALYPSE

st 1 SEAL- A WHITE HORSE FALSE PEACE

REVELATION 6: 1 -2 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

MATTHEW 24: 4 -5 Jesus answered: Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah, ’ and will deceive many.

I THESSALONIANS 5: 1 -2 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and safety, ” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

2 nd SEAL- A RED HORSE WAR

REVELATION 6: 3 -4 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

MATTHEW 24: 4 -7 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah, ’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom

JOHN MACARTHUR “Anti Christ’s false peace, then, will dissolve in a maelstrom of battle, assassination, rebellion, revolt and massacre. ”

rd 3 SEAL- A BLACK HORSE FAMINE

REVELATION 6: 5 -6 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

JOHN WALVOORD “There would be no money left to buy other things, such as oil and wine, which were considered essential in Biblical times. To put it in ordinary language, the situation would be such that one would have to spend a day’s wages for a loaf of bread with no money left to buy anything else. The symbolism therefore indicates a time of famine when life will be reduced to its barest necessities. ”

JACK Van Impe “During this period of time, inflation will skyrocket and the Anti Christ’s numerical program 666, will replace gold, silver and paper money. ”

REVELATION 13: 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

th 4 SEAL- A PALE HORSE DEATH

REVELATION 6: 7 -8 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
