Revelations a Study. section 4.
Written by: Rev.Anthony Smith
Revelations a Study. section 4. In section 4, we will see a lot of symbolism. Section 4. Chapters 6:1 thru 7:1. The Lamb {Jesus the Christ} opening the seals, only 6 seals are opened in this section.
The first seal. The White Horse. Rev 6:2 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.Rev. 6:2 is not speaking of Jesus but of the antichristian elements. This is the same as the other three horsemen. If you noticed in Rev.6:2 we see a rider with a BOW. In scripture Jesus is never described as haveing a bow but only a sword. The second thing we see here is ”a crown was given unto him” this designates that the rider before was never in power untill it was granted him. The second Seal. The Red Horse. Rev 6:4 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. This verse again does not speek of Jesus. This line speakes for itself as not being Jesus.“power was given to him“ Jesus is power and has no need to be given it. This next verse shows, war and hatred amoung mankind, the word sword designates war. The ability to make war was given unto him.“to take peace from the earth, that they should kill one another, was given unto him a great sword.” The third Seal.The Black Horse. Rev 6:5 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. [A measure: “The word choenix signifieth a measure containing one wine-quart and the twelfth part of a quart.”] The Black Horseman is a prelude to the pale horse. In verse 6:6 we see the phrase,”hurt not the oil and the wine.” This is the main stapel of Israel.
“A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny” Food at this time will cost a days wages. The word Penny, designates wages. “wheat & barley” designates materials that are used in makeing bread but here they also designate food.
The fourth Seal. The Pale Horse. The word “pale” signifies death.
Rev 6:8 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. Hab 2:5 Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:. Reference.Eze_5:15-17, Eze_14:13-21. In this phrase we see 2 spiritual beings. ”power was given unto them”
“the fourth part of the earth' “25 %” will fall by starvation, war and beasts. Those that have refused God. “Hell followed with him.” Destination.
Rev 6:9 thru 6:11 is speaking of those who were marytered then and now and thoses to come. Today there are many that are being killed for their testimony of Jesus. Day after day I recieve mail telling of Christians being killed for passing out Bibles or witnessing about Jesus. Prophecy is being fulfilled. Rev 6:9 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: This phrase is future prophecy.“until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.” Reference. Rev_7:14, Rev_13:15, Rev_17:6; Mat_10:21, Mat_23:34, Mat_23:35; Joh_16:2; Heb_11:40. Those awaiting Justice.”How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?”
Isa 26:21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. Isa 29:6 Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
The sixth Seal.The great day of Wrath Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; the stars of heaven fell unto the earth mountain and island were moved
These are literial; A great earthquake; The sun becomeing black,The moon becomeing as blood; mountains and islands are moved, the heaven departs as a scroll.
Rev 6:13 “And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth.” Stars = Fallen angels, being removed from the third heavan. Reverences;Eze_32:7; Dan_8:10.
Rev 6:15 Showes that there is no diference between man in the eyes of God. end section 4.
