Revelation 6 (New King James Version)
Revelation 6
First Seal: The Conqueror
1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals;[a] and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
the white horse had a bow, this is when christianity was spread on earth by conquering nations.and forced them to follow the christian religion.
Second Seal: Conflict on Earth
the red horse,this is the 1st w.war and the 2nd w.war. how do we know that? well its telling us great sword. meaning modern warfare that can kill many,like a great sword.
guns, canons, bombs. this is the second seal. the red horse.
3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.” 4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
Muhammahad and the teachings of Islam
the 3rd seal, the black horse; the world is in darkness, the material and the spiritual.
can not solve the problems. food problems, oil problems, (wine) religion problems.
this horse is riding at the moment.and will be followed by the pale horse. this is when the false prophet comes, he will kill christians, he will declare himself god.
the 5th seal are all the saints that were killed, crying for revenge.(symbolic) because they are dead, asleep.
5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart[c] of wheat for a denarius,[d] and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”
Happening now in the middle East you will see the man riding the Black horse unite the Arab world
Fourth Seal: Widespread Death on Earth
7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.
AntiChrist
Fifth Seal: The Cry of the Martyrs
9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed. NOTE: THE FAITHFUL HAVE NOT BEEN RAPTURED OUT
Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances
12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold,[e] there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon[f] became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders,[g] the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
Tribulation!!!
so yeah that is how I read that chapter without the teaching so men. just reading the words and comparing it to what I know of history and current events. I could be wrong but that is my working hypothesis right now.
