First Four Seals of Revelation

I would like to share with you something that I feel is probably not discussed in church and is something I am not sure too many have seen. It comes from the book of Revelation in chapter 6 and deals with the first four seals which I believe very very strongly they have already been released upon the earth. You will see why shortly.    

Seal 1: Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. 

I want to first dispute any thought that this is Jesus on the white horse. Why? In Revelation 19:11-16 it describes him on the white horse and He is wearing many crowns and is not described as a conqueror but as Faithful and True. 

Seal 2: When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come.” And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him. 

This right here is one of the key reasons the Jewish people today are still looking for the Messiah to come. They are saying when He comes He will bring peace to the earth, this is why Jesus was not a good fit in their eyes. As of this day and age, we are seeing murders, pandemics, and wars.  

Seal 3: When He broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine.” 

Note that in the Middle East oil and wine are very prolific. 

Seal 4: When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth. 

This horse’s rider has Hades following, in contrast to Revelation 19:14 where Jesus has the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses.

If we were to look at all of the 4 colors together, white, red, black, and pale/green, depending upon your version, today we have what is known as the colors of the Palestinian flag (shown in partial within the horse). I will let you research it, but look at the majority of the Muslim nations and their flag’s colors you will see they are all very similar.

When Mohammad’s Muslim religion eventually took off it was ruled by the sword especially after the Jewish people refused to follow him. They started by killing off anyone, including family members, that did not believe like he did. He was sent as a conqueror and has removed any peace in the world. Their religion is all based on works and is judged according to a set of scales. As of 2015 there were 1.8 billion Muslims or approximately 24.4% of the world’s population. Please note that the number Muslims is just an average, but appears to be the general consensus throughout the internet.  

I think it is time to take note that the end is near and we need to pray.

Until next time...
