Now let’s review the first Seal.
Rev 6:1 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!” 2 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.
This would appear to describe the prophet, Mohammed. Mohammed also is depicted on a White Horse (called a Buraq) which supposedly took him on his midnight dream ride to Jerusalem and to Heaven. Here is a link:

In the Olivet Discourse, it appears Jesus´s provided a subtle End-times clue in Matt 24:24 and 26,
Matt 24:24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
26“So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
We notice the duality of persons in verse 24. And duality of locations in verse 26. Ignore the plurals in Messiahs and Prophets as in Strong´s Concordance these are listed as singular or plural. We know the false messiah represents the Anti-Christ, and he will be found in the Inner room (Inner Sanctuary) of the temple. So that would leave the False Prophet and he would be found in the wilderness. But Strong´s Concordance provides even more insight to the Greek word used for wilderness (eremos 2048), which can mean, “The Desert East and South of Palestine” which would be Arabia.
Strong's Concordance
erémos: solitary, desolate
Original Word: ἔρημος, ον
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: erémos
Phonetic Spelling: (er'-ay-mos)
Definition: solitary, desolate
Usage: as an adj: deserted, desolate, waste; hence: the desert, to the east and south of Palestine; of a person: deserted, abandoned, desolate.
Now let’s review the second Seal
Rev 6:3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 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.
We have seen above, Ali wearing a red vest symbolic of the Red horse, but I have also read elsewhere that he was covered in red hair and some Islamic folklore say Ali was a descendent of Esau (Jacob´s twin brother, whom God hated). He was given power (fighting power) which did take peace, (even to this day). Islam would not exist today, if Ali had not fought it into survival. The sword could be the Sword Zilfquar.
Now let’s review the Third Seal
Rev 6:5 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. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds[a] 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!”
I haven´t come across anything in early history, but recent events of the past few years, could be a possible fit here. If so, it would potentially indicate Jesus provided 2 witness events (first 2 Horses) at the coming of the false prophet, then a space of time, and now possibly providing 2 witness events (final 2 Horses) upon the coming False Messiah.
It is very difficult to identify prophecy fulfillment in its the midst, as you don’t know what could come next, but I will take a guess here. It is possible the Black horse represented ISIS, symbolized by its black Flags. The scales, could be the Scales of Justice, symbolic of Law. One of the main goals of ISIS was to re-establish and impose, Islamic Sharia Law. The results of ISIS endeavors, was the destruction of a great many Muslims livelihoods, with millions of Muslims being displaced and living in Refugee camps[GS1] today. Whatever daily wages they can muster, goes to providing basic daily essentials. Oil can be symbolic of the Jewish Faith, and Wine symbolic of the New Wine of the Christian Faith. For the most part, the destruction that ISIS imposed, impacted the Muslim Faith, with very little loss or harm to those of the Jewish and Christian Faiths.
This concludes a potentially different perception of the book of Revelation, and how it could potentially alter our view of End Times Prophecy. I will present how this possibly fits with Daniel chapter 7 and Revelation chapter 17 in the coming days.
