Pause for thought

Historicists believe that Chapter six represents the whole time period from the early apostles to the present day. It’s true the world has witnessed some cataclysmic events already, but I think that during the coming tribulation many of these past tragedies will be repeated to a much greater degree.

The first seal. A rider on a white horse, this rider is not Jesus but a future world leader (antichrist) who will deceive the whole world Daniel 18:25. This rider also represents many dictators who have tried to enslave the world. ( Antichrist is one who seeks to replace Jesus Christ, being a master of deception he will not appear to be anti Christian his lies will seem like the truth. He may well seem to hold the Bible in esteem.

The second seal A rider on a red horse taking away peace from the world, causing people to kill each other, through murder, civil unrest and warfare.

The third seal A rider on a black horse seen holding a pair of scales, a sign of severe inflation and famine. Do not harm the oil or wine could indicate that those with wealth are still able to buy life’s luxuries.

The fourth seal. A rider on a pale grey horse whose name is death, hades (the grave) follow this rider who in turn follows the previous riders bringing to pass what they have been allowed to initiate. But the devastation death causes is limited in scope to a quarter of earth’s population

The fifth seal Persecution and martyrdom of the saint’s, notice these martyrs were crying out for vindication (avenge) not vengeance. Stephen Acts 7:60 Lord do not charge them with this sin.

The sixth seal. Cosmic disturbance, the great day of wrath has come 6:17 all seven classes of mankind refuse to repent 6:17. kings, great men, Rich men, Commanders, Mighty men, Slaves , and Free men. The order of these seals is I believe sure but the timing is uncertain, the six seal looks like events that happen at the point of Christs return.But more on this as we continue to read Revelation.

A verse to remember

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with the them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
