Revelation 6, The Six Seals

 

Revelation 6 The Six Seals

In this chapter it is revealed what happens on earth while God's children are in heaven. The great tribulation is what happens. The Lord Jesus opens the 6 seals and the four horses ride forth. Jesus is now the executor of God's will upon the earth as He opens the seals of the book. According to J. Vernon McGhee and a few other Bible scholars they say the White Horse and the rider is the Antichrist. He is the one who pretends to be Christ. He doesn't come as a villain but as a smooth talker. He is going to be the most attractive man that the world has ever seen. He promises peace and because all the people that are not raptured is in a world of chaos. They accept him and follow him, but because he lied to them it does not turn out well. The tribulation comes in like a lamb but goes out like a lion. The piece which the rider promised was short lived because after that came the red horse of war. This will be a real-world War. Most likely World War 111. The third horse is black which speaks of mourning. It also speaks of famine. Always after war comes a lack of food. In those days there will not be enough food for food or barley. There will be enough barley for oil and wine and the rich will thrive on that but the poor will remain poor and hungry. The fourth horse is a pale rider who brings pestilence upon the earth that will kill 1/4 of the population. There won't be enough medicines to go around to stop the plagues. The pale rider is named death. He's not only death of the body but death in Hades where the lost man goes. The pale rider named death comes with hades following with him. The sword, famine, pestilence and wild beasts will destroy the earth's population by ¼. read Matthew 24: 5-8.
