I do so reluctantly for a couple of reasons.
1. Most of the time I share, I am met with debate by those who were taught various doctrines that oppose it.
2. It is better for one to hear it directly by the Holy Spirit instead of through a man.
Even so, God is able to either confirm or correct the things that are said by men. Also, God is able to use men to help bring understanding. So I will continue to trust the Lord that he will help to bring understanding not only to others but to enrich my understanding as well.
Just a few years ago, I asked the Lord to show me things I had been taught. I pleaded with him not to let me be deceived by the many teachings I had heard. I asked that he show me personally. As mentioned above, he began to confirm or correct what I had been taught as well as show me things I never considered.
<That was just a little background about me and where I am with my walk with God.>
I found it interesting that the four horsemen join together in the 4th seal.
Revelations 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.
I also noted that this would lead to many saints being martyred as shown in the 5th seal.
Revelations 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:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
So the only question I had left was what was the nature of these four beasts? What were these four powers that are an abomination to God that would be unleashed upon the earth and eventually unite?
I used to think that they were something that we would not even see until the very end. But after reading Daniel, I realized that Daniel was shown things that happened during his lifetime all the way up to the very end.
So understanding that the last days are all of the days from Jesus until his return, I realized that it were possible that these beasts might be unleashed any time from the time of John until Jesus' return.
Look at the descriptions of each beast, its color and what it does. Then consider government (even some religious) structures (powers) that have risen that have shaped the world that you see today.
I'd rather you receive this by the Holy Spirit, so I will delay posting what I was shown.
