whirlwind said:Ret said:Agreed, the Anti-christ, has a 'deceitful bow', I also believe the Anti-christ comes 'first' as in Genesis evening comes before morning. My conclusion is that Rev 6:1-2 is talking about the Anti-christ within the understanding of "evening, darkness, night.". However, within the understanding of LIGHT/MORNING - I see in Rev 6:1-2 the true JESUS Christ as in Psalms...
Are you saying the rider represents both?
The WORD of God begins our understanding of the scriptures, first using the form of EVENING - being darkness, natural, literal, earthly. Second, truth also comes through MORNING - being spirit, spiritual and symbolic. If you see these different than I do...that's OK, it does not make either one of us right or wrong...God is the judge. He knows how much has been revealed to you - I don't KNOW that.
whirlwind said:Ret said:WW, how do you see the BOW in Psalms...?
- Psalms 7:11-13
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. KJV
There, the "bow" is a weapon, as is the sword but in Revelation the bow with the rider is a rainbow. I see it as the fake rainbow. The true Christ will be surrounded with a true rainbow. [Revelation 4:3]
OK...Put Revelation 4:3 with Revelation 19:11
- Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and
he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True,
and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.KJV
2 Corinthians 10:3-4
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God
to the pulling down of strong holds;) KJV
whirlwind said:Ret said:WW...I believe the 'true light' dawns on the Second seal / Day 2 of creation ... when the waters are separated from the waters - the 'RED HORSE' takes peace from the EARTH...thereby, spiritually I now LIVE in HEAVEN!
. . . . :amen
- 2 Peter 1:19
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: KJV
Amen! I agree that the true light dawned on the second day but not that He was represented by the red horse. All those horses represent evil to me.
Correct WW, at least partially, it's the colored horses that represent the evil....the evil that is in me/us NATURALLY...that which we don't see correctly because the darkenss with which we are born does not comprehend the light!
- John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,
neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. KJV
whirlwind said::headbomb Okay...I need to read back over this and sleep on it. Maybe it will be clearer in the morning. I agree with the time thing and that God had this plan from the beginning but I don't understand the red horse, actually either of the horses. How can the white horse be both Satan and Jesus? And, how can the red horse kill, take peace, etc. and yet be associated with the dawning of the Light?
It would be better said of the Second Seal the 'RED horse' slays with a SWORD (word of God) and takes peace from the 'earth'. God created Satan to destroy.... How else would I/we be able to dwell in 'heaven' while my/our flesh is still on earth...? How or by what means do 'I die daily'...?
