Revelation 6: The Four Horsemen and the Seven Seals

Horses represent power. Power that is harnessed and applied via chariots, which represent doctrine. When Alexander the Great introduced military tactics in the 4th century BC that rendered chariots obsolete, subsequent prophetic imagery was changed to riders on horses. They still represent power applied through doctrine.

Pale horse is a symbol of sickness and disease that follows after war that causes great famine in the world as many become sick and weak from dehydration and malnutrition and eventually die.

The pale horse riders name is Death. Following Death is Hell which means one that is laid in a grave after they have physically died as you can read in Strong’s Exhausted Concordance Hebrew #7585 – Greek # 86. Death is not a final destination, but a state of being, as that is defined in the first and second resurrections found in 1 Corinthians 15:51-56; 1Thessalonians 4:13-18 and Revelation 20:6.

The rider represents Death for that is the name given him. Hell follows with Death that goes before it. Death is given power from Satan as a mighty army goes forth throughout the world with a sword that represents massive weaponry to kill a fourth of the world’s population. This massive weaponry will consist of nuclear and chemical warfare so those who do survive will be hard pressed in finding food as much will be contaminated. They will eventually become weakened from starvation and sickness caused by disease and will eventually die. The wild beast will come to eat their carcass.

I have already seen the pale horse and his rider, on two different occasions. What is that supposed to mean? You know what's interesting though, both times the rider they called death bore a striking resemblance to Clint Eastwood.


But what about the Red Headed Stranger, weren't his spotted and bay?

Revelation 6:1-2 (MEV) –"I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures saying, with voice like thunder, “Come and see.” 2 And I looked, and there before me was a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow. And a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering that he might overcome."
.
The crown was given to the victor.. Jesus is that victor..
Rev_14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

the bow ?
Gen 9:13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
Gen 9:14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
Gen 9:15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
Gen 9:16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
Gen 9:17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

The rider of the white horse was the apostolic church, ordained, empowered, and sent by Jesus Christ to proclaim the doctrine of His new covenant throughout the earth, and win the souls of those who would overcome sin through faith in Jesus Christ.

I said it was a brief scenario as in an outline of those things that come about during the seven trumpets sounding. It's like Matthew 24 being an end of days outline as we have always seen these type of things, but never on such a scale as will be seen during Gods great wrath that brings much tribulation into the world as His wrath is poured out on those who refuse to repent. Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

This is how I see the bow and the crown. The bow in Genesis 9 is a rainbow that reminds us of God's covenant and different then the one the rider of the white horse carries. This rider has a bow, but no arrows are mentioned. We never see Jesus associated with having a bow anywhere in scripture, but always having a sword coming out of His mouth. In scripture a sword represents the true word of God as in Spiritual warfare our weapon is the witness and testimony of Jesus, 2 Corinthians 10:4.

The bow having no arrows is symbolic of Satan conquering those who say they are Christians, but have never been Spiritually born again, John 3:5-7. They claim to be a Christian, but by name only, Matthew 7:21, and have no true knowledge of Gods word. Satan sends out his false prophets to preach a deceptive word and Globally has and will continue to conquer many who have not the Holy Spirit dwelling in them as they have no knowledge of the Holy Spirit and he will do anything to keep them that way.

The crown that is given him is not a literal crown, but symbolic in its meaning as it represents his own deceitful glory as a crown of glory is given to those in leadership, 1 Peter 5:1-5, but in this case Satan’s leadership as he goes forth conquering by using his false prophets to conquer by twisting the word of God deceiving those who have no Spiritual discernment and are blindsided by what they hear and read.
 
Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
The Book states it is the Revelation of Jesus Christ .. I dont understand why so many choose to read it as a revelation of satan..

Important word 'signified'. People still think its literal when its all symbolic. There is no single Antichrist to come on the scene, or some physical mark of the beast. Its all symbolic and spiritual battles.

These revelations were given by God to Jesus who gave them to John as visions as the angel took John through each one to show all those things that will come to pass before Christ returns. The revelations has much to do with the glory of the Lord and the victory we have through Him as we humble ourselves before Him stand strong in faith that is Christ Jesus being our Holy place.

Revelations are also about Satan who as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he can devour by trying to steal our faith as he works his deception through those of a worldly superiority in whom Satan gives these rulers his power and authority to rule over the nations who will use lying signs and wonders in the heaven to deceive even the very elect if possible. Not to many concern themselves about all of this and let their guard down, but people like me want to know so we are not in darkness, that that day should overtake us as a thief, 1Thessalonias 5:1-6.

I don't know what your response to me has to do with anything that I posted in my comment. My comment was tongue in cheek, it was a joke referencing Hollywood movies. Was that lost upon you?

Why horses and not camels?

Why not an elephant or a lion either?

Why is the horse color important?

My take on the color of the four horses in Rev 6:1-8
white = ruling power
red = anger and destruction
black = time of peril
pale = sickness

Now who ever said the girl is me?
May I have a granddaughter please?
Maybe I'm a publicist and she is my client?
How many questions can I ask to describe her?
Yes, it is human nature to assume things.

How about the new guy Tim.
He has 2 men in his avatar.
Which one is he?
Or is he the one who took the picture?
