Jesus list things in the Olivet prophecy, that must come to pass before his return.
the first one that is over looked is religious deception , started way back then.
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come,
even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Why did John not wright about olivet promise? He did
Johns virsion of the Olivet prophecy, Revelation,chapter 6.
first four seals refered as The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah,the Root of David,
hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof” (Revelation 5:5).
- this happened just after Christ returned to heaven he unlocks this prophecy.
Christ starts his church on pentacost,- see the woman in rev.12 .
also unlocking the anti church started- the woman we see in rev 17
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.
a key here is, he has a bow, not a sword, and has no arrows.
The first and most deadly horseman is religious deception!
The word conquer means “to come off with the victory” that
the largest organized religious “cult”on Earth today waged
the bloodiest battles ever, in the name of God. This horseman
has wreaked havoc on mankind with religious wars throughout history.
The first is religious deception, next is war, then famine, the fourth pestilence
John’s vision, revealed by Jesus Christ and recorded for us today in Revelation 6:1-8,
differs only slightly from the Olivet prophecy in Matthew 24 and the other Gospel accounts.
Josephus describes in graphic detail the wars and resultant famine and plagues in Jerusalem
about a.d.?70, almost 40 years after the Olivet prophecy was first given.
(Josephus’s Wars of the Jews, which tells of thousands of Jews being impaled by the Romans.)
Yes, what Christ said in Matthew 24 indeed had a typical fulfillment in a.d.?70.
But John’s vision was recorded 20 years after the city’s fall and the temple’s destruction.
first is religious deception, next is war, then famine.
With the fourth, pestilence, these horsemen represent the final, end-time culmination of the most
traumatic problems endured by a rebellious mankind. They picture one of the most ominous
scenarios ever. It is imperative that each of us take heed while there is still time.
“And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come
and see. 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”
The context mentions two of the other horsemen—war and famine.
But we cannot be certain of the symbolism of the last horseman from this passage.
The key word to its identity is the word pale, which often makes us think of someone
who is feeling sick, having an anemic-looking appearance.
Pale is translated from the Greek chloros, which we would normally take to mean the
color of chlorophyll, the property that gives plants their healthy green appearance.
When used biblically, however, chloros means the sickly pale green color of sickness and disease.
Other biblical translations describe the pale horse as an ash-colored horse, a horse sickly green,
a horse sickly pale and an ashy pale horse. We have continually stressed throughout that we should
look to Christ the Revelator to explain these seals and symbols. He provides us with the most correct
word to unlock the true identity of this pale green horse which man’s best translations cannot:
“and there shall be pestilences” (Matthew 24:7). The man on the pale horse symbolizes climactic,
globe-encircling plagues and pandemics occurring and soon to occur in this modern age!
Look up pestilence in any Bible concordance and you will be amazed by the link
between the second, third and fourth horsemen representing war, famine and pestilence
(Jeremiah 21:9; 27:13; 29:17-18; 32:24; 34:17; 38:2; 42:16-17; 44:13).
These three horsemen derive their origin directly from the first horseman of religious deception,
