Seeking our provision in Jesus’ love instead of in the powers of this world (Part 5).

• “And when He had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, Come and see. And I looked, and lo, a black horse. And he sitting on it had a balance in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say, A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius. And do not hurt the oil and the wine.” (Rev 6:5,6).

Many people think that this horseman is related with starvation. Only if it were in a spiritual sense, since it isn’t mentioned any food beyond “wheat” and “barley”. Although our nourishment is strongly rooted in dough, nobody will starve if these two aliments were outright obliterated. On the contrary: people will be healthier.

Take a look at this:

• “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that *I will send a famine in the land*, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but *of hearing the words of the LORD*: and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.” (Amos 8:11-13).

It there is other thing to mention: it is quoted “oil” and “wine”, and not “olive” and “grape”.

Furthermore, the color of the horse is black, what, in the Holy Scripture, has to do with murkiness which, in turn, has to do with apostasy (see Mat 4:15,16) and hatred (see 1John 2:9-11).

So, I believe that this horseman has to do with Jewish cult, which the antichrist will use to take over all rabble. If you pay attention carefully, you will see that these four foods are used in the meal offering and for libation.

That is to say, this is a way to control all populace through money, using their faith. Nowadays, great producers burn tons of food in order to keep high prices. Once rabble is induced to think that these aliments are necessary to worship the Creator, the antichrist will be able to convince people to give their “denarius” (what they gained for one day of work) in exchange for their acceptance before the Creator.

As Peter said:

• “And through covetousness they will use you for gain with well-turned words; for whom judgment from of old does not linger, and their destruction does not sleep.” (2Pe 2:3).

And this has to do with what John saw in Revelation, that is to say, that the Great Babylon will commercialize human souls (Rev 18:13).

Abridging: this third horseman is someone specialized in making people become needy of something that they didn’t need and try to explore them in virtue of this.

So, don’t waste your money in what is not bread (Isaiah 55:2). Don’t allow Ha-Satan entice you with his dishes and make you dependent of him, stealing you of the boldness of a lion which is owed to the righteous.

Have a marvelous day staying elated with what you have and never allowing that anything in this world enslave you (including electricity, internet and cellphone and, chiefly, money).

Tomorrow we will carry on. Stay poring on this excerpt:

• “But having food and clothing, we will be content. But they who will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts which plunge men into destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all evils, of which some having lusted after, they were seduced from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” (1Timothy 6:8-10).
