Revelation 6

FOUR HORSEMEN OF APOCALYPSE

SEVEN SEALS

A briefing from the inauguration of Christianity thru to the final days. 

THE FIRST SEAL

THE WHITE HORSE

1: & I SAW THEN THE LAMB OPENED ONE OF THE SEALS, & I HEARD, AS IT WERE THE NOISE OF THUNDER, ONE OF THE FOUR BEASTS SAYING, COME & SEE        

again, the importance of these beast emerges

The thunder voice is from God's throne        

These messages express insight from God through Christ's presentation of the seals

2: & I SAW, & BEHOLD A WHITE HORSE: & HE THAT SAT ON HIM HAD A BOW; & A CROWN WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM: & HE WENT FORTH CONQUERING, & TO CONQUER        

The first four seals consist of the colors of horses, obviously metaphorical       

These horsemen harmonize within the seven church eras of chapters 2 & 3       

This white horse shoulders the conquering lion & is the shade of purity, white, unadulterated, Christianity's inauguration. It conquers, invites, & challenges, propagating the New Way        

Jews are abandoning the synagogues for the new branch, but soon will stop. Gentiles will take their place with the use of the sword, Christian soldiers        

This horse charges from the pre-crucifixion to the inauguration of what will become Christianity

THE SECOND SEAL - THE RED HORSE

3: & WHEN HE HAD OPENED THE SECOND SEAL, I HEARD THE SECOND BEAST SAY, COME & SEE. 4: & THERE WENT OUT ANOTHER HORSE THAT WAS RED: & POWER WAS GIVEN TO HIM THAT SAT THEREON TO TAKE PEACE FROM THE EARTH, & THAT THEY SHOULD KILL ONE ANOTHER: & THERE WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM A GREAT SWORD        

The power is Christ's sword, Christianity so true, Matt 10:34

 - those who acknowledge the same God - yet defy & kill each other in the Almighty's name       

This horse is not opposite in color to the white, as is the next. The color of the horse matches its importance, in this case, the color of a wound. Christianity has suffered a great injury during the marriage of church & state from the days of Constantine. Enough has already been related to on the crimes of the church.      

This beast, the calf - not Lamb - will soon blossom into a powerful ox murdering all who dared differ or question her doctrines

THE THIRD SEAL - THE BLACK HORSE

5: & WHEN HE HAD OPENED THE THIRD SEAL, I HEARD THE THIRD BEAST SAY, COME & SEE. & I BEHELD, & LO A BLACK HORSE; & HE THAT SAT ON HIM HAD A PAIR OF BALANCES IN HIS HAND. 6: & I HEARD A VOICE IN THE MIDST OF THE FOUR BEASTS SAY, A MEASURE OF WHEAT FOR A PENNY, & THREE MEASURES OF BARLEY FOR A PENNY; & SEE THOU HURT NOT THE OIL & THE WINE

This is the fourth stage of the church. A total opposite to the white horse is expressed, not just a wound. We enter the darker side of the Christian era with this black horse; the rider is man.

The Vatican was the teacher of her offspring - the Reformation & it's following. They digested much from her

The Byzantine Emperor, Justinian, 527-65, gave judiciary powers to the church, the bishop of Rome. Now the church was balancing religious & civil affairs, A PAIR OF BALANCES IN HIS HAND. Measure & selling is used for this period, which generated the habit of Christian sales through the church.  The good church has turned into a business institution.   

- costly blessings for everything, food & birth become big sale procedures - particularly the established cross & beads       

- Pope Innocent VIII, 1484-92, has 16 illegitimate children. He introduces church offices for sale, creating them as the demand comes. Under him, the bullfights commence on St. Peter's Square.

Christ's word to the synagogue of His day ring again: St. Matthew 21:13...it is written, my house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.   

Inquisitions & crusades were murdering millions under the direction of the Papacy implementing the name of God to iniquity - corruption & greed totally ruled this era. 

- the Papacy transported dirt & soil from the so-called holy lands marketed at extreme costs using eminent influences to purchase by faith.

THE FOURTH SEAL THE PALE HORSE

7: & WHEN HE HAD OPENED THE FOURTH SEAL, I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE FOURTH BEAST SAY, COME & SEE. 8: & I LOOKED, & BEHOLD A PALE HORSE: & HIS NAME THAT SAT ON HIM WAS DEATH,

& HELL FOLLOWED WITH HIM. & POWER WAS GIVEN UNTO THEM OVER THE FOURTH PART OF THE EARTH,

TO KILL WITH SWORD, & WITH HUNGER,

& WITH DEATH,

& WITH THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH        

This color denotes sickly - as in a dying plant or animal; color very distinguished from all other colors        

This beast, the swift far-sighted eagle, is to kill with death; thus denote that when death does occur, there is no recovery; a death at incredible speed - quite possibly the end of the papacy's controls. Today, less & less people show interest in her - would rather practice Christ's teachings & do their praying at home.  

THE FIFTH SEAL

9: & WHEN HE HAD OPENED THE FIFTH SEAL, I SAW UNDER THE ALTAR THE SOULS OF THEM THAT WERE SLAIN FOR THE WORD OF GOD, & FOR THE TESTIMONY WHICH THEY HELD:

10: & THEY CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE, SAYING, HOW LONG, O LORD, HOLY & TRUE, DOST THOU NOT JUDGE & AVENGE OUR BLOOD ON THEM THAT DWELL ON THE EARTH?

11: & WHITE ROBES WERE GIVEN UNTO EVERY ONE OF THEM; & IT WAS SAID UNTO THEM, THAT THEY SHOULD REST YET FOR A LITTLE SEASON, UNTIL THEIR FELLOW SERVANTS ALSO & THEIR BRETHREN, THAT SHOULD BE KILLED AS THEY WERE, SHOULD BE FULFILLED        

This seal surpasses the era of Christianity & the Armageddon       

Those in Heaven are asking for revenge & are told to wait another season, another era of another seal God's Law in effect     

Again we are told that SOME ARE IN HEAVEN WHILE OTHERS ARE ON EARTH awaiting judgment & destinies, contrary to most Christian principles

THE SIXTH SEAL

12: & I BEHELD WHEN HE HAD OPENED THE SIXTH SEAL, &, LO, THERE WAS A GREAT EARTHQUAKE; & THE SUN BECAME BLACK AS SACKCLOTH OF HAIR, & THE MOON BECAME AS BLOOD; 13: & 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: & THE HEAVEN DEPARTED AS A SCROLL WHEN IT IS ROLLED TOGETHER, & EVERY MOUNTAIN & ISLAND WERE MOVED OUT OF THEIR PLACES  

The Armageddon belongs to an era already passed & dwelled upon in a later chapter. This is much more than just a final war.        

The first verses of Genesis point to a result of a cataclysm, particularly the different Noahs' stories.        

This is the end of Earth, as we know her, a CATACLYSM

Chapter 16, with the seven plagues, shows yet another cataclysm after this one - as the final plague - the plagues are from of the seventh trumpet; the seven trumpets are from of the seventh seal - PEOPLE SURVIVE THIS ONE     

The earth has experienced at least one cataclysm in her past - probably five - & this shall be no different.

- today we see the results of the last cataclysm: mountains & volcanoes in the seas which once had to have oxidized in the atmosphere; fossils in the middle of our continents which had to have been once part of the ocean's bottom -

- a shifting of the earth's axis can cause this immediate catastrophe -sending continents to the ocean's bottom & giving rise to others; destroying Europe, as we know it, in a split second; sending mountains to the oceans' floor & giving rise to others

- the Myths of Atlantis & My may not be myths. 

This cataclysm, a lightning speed of events, would blacken the Earth's atmosphere for centuries & the sun could appear as sackcloth, the moon appearing red - perhaps a grand shower of giant comets, falling stars

15 & THE KINGS OF THE EARTH, & THE GREAT MEN, & THE RICH MEN, & THE CHIEF CAPTAINS, & THE MIGHTY MEN, & EVERY BONDMAN, & EVERY FREE MAN, HID THEMSELVES IN THE DENS & IN THE ROCKS OF THE MOUNTAINS; ¹⁶& SAID TO THE MOUNTAINS & ROCKS, FALL ON US, & HIDE US FROM THE FACE OF HIM THAT SITTETH ON THE THRONE, & FROM THE WRATH OF THE LAMB: ¹⁷FOR THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME; & WHO SHALL BE ABLE TO STAND

This sixth seal concludes; the seventh does not commence until chapter 8.
