The height of
our revelations depends upon the correctness of our doctrines (our building
blocks)
Commentary: notably, the seven seals (Rev 6 & 8) are
opened by Jesus Christ sequentially
indicating that the “theme” of each opening seal is dependent upon and relevant
to the accumulated content of the previous seals. The first four seals,
commonly called “The Four Horsemen of
the Apocalypse,” are quite like budding flowers coming into bloom. However,
once opened, each of the first four seals continues
opening thereby multiplying aggregate “intensity.” The first four seals are visible earthly seals for the warning of everyone (“Come and see.” Rev 6:1,3,5,7). The
last three seals are invisible
Spiritual seals for the edification of the saints only.
LYING DECEPTION
(Rev 6:1,2) And I saw when the Lamb [Jesus Christ] opened one of the seals [Gk:
to fence or inclose; fig. to silence],
and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts
saying, Come and see [a present
tense COMMAND: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches.” Rev 3:6,13,22]. And I
saw, and behold a white horse
[white Biblically symbolizes innocence, purity, truth; a horse represents power]: and he that sat on him [the Antichrist in control] had a bow [but no arrows]; and a
crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering [present tense], and to conquer [future
tense].
1. (2 Cor 11:13-15) For such are false apostles,
deceitful workers, transforming [Gk: disguising] themselves
into the apostles of Christ. And no
marvel; for Satan himself is transformed [Gk: disguised] into an
angel of light [like the first seal
rider on the white horse]. Therefore it
is no great thing if his
ministers [fallen angels, demons,
devils, unclean spirits] also be
transformed [Gk: disguised] as the ministers of righteousness; whose
end shall be according to their works.
2. (Rev 19:11-16) 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. His eyes were
as a flame of fire, and on his head were
many crowns; and he had a
name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is
called The Word of God. And the
armies which were in heaven
followed him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp
sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them [through
His “kings and priests” Rev 1:6; 5:10] with
a rod of iron: and he treadeth the
winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture [Gk: robe] and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
WAR
(Rev
6:3,4) And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast
say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was [“fiery” NIV;
“flaming” Amplif.] red [the color of blood]: and power was given to him that sat
thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one
another: and there was given unto him a great sword [nuclear bombs].
1. (Judg
7:22) And
the three hundred [300 Isrealites
(shepherds)] blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword
against his fellow, even throughout all the [135,000 Midianite (Heb: brawling, contentious, discord, strife] host [and only 15,000 Midianites survived this encounter]: and the host fled to Bethshittah in
Zererath, and to the border of
Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath [east
across the river
FAMINE (AND PESTILENCE)
(Rev
6:5,6) And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast
say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse [black is opaque, the absence of light]; and he that sat on him had a pair of
balances [scales] in his hand [Gk: power]. And I heard a
voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat [primarily human food] for a penny [a day’s wages], and three
measures of barley [primarily animal
food] for a penny [a day’s wages]; and see thou hurt not
[a warning: touch not] the oil and the wine [i.e., civilization will soon be defined by
only two factions: poor and rich.].
1. (2 Kings 6:25) And there was
a great famine in
2. (Judg 6:1-6) And the
children of
DEATH… AND HELL FOLLOWED
(FOR THE UNSAVED)
(Rev
6:7,8) And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the
fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse:
and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell [Gk: Hades] followed with him. And power was given unto them over the
fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword [war], and with hunger
[famine and pestilence], and with death, and with the
beasts [Gk: a dangerous animal:
(venomous, wild) beasts] of the
earth.
1. (Eccl
3:18) I said in mine heart concerning the estate of
the sons of men, that God might manifest [make
apparent to] them, and that they
might see that they themselves are beasts [Heb: animals] [i.e., unsaved men and women].
MARTYR-DOM
(Rev 6:9-11) And when he had opened the fifth seal [The feast of Trumpets: “an offering made
by fire” Lev 23:25], I saw under the
[brasen] altar [of burnt sacrifices] the souls of them that were slain [Gk: butchered, slaughtered: killed] for the word of God, and for the
testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice [a Trumpet Voice that is being heard in our
spirit], saying, How long, O Lord,
holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on
the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was
said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season [“In your patience possess ye your souls.”
Luke 21:19], until their fellowservants
also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
1. Commentary: The last three seals are
blossoming flowers of His wonderful love usward, visible (i.e., becoming
visible) only to imputed for righteousness (born-again) Saints. The last three
seals harmoniously coordinate with the Seven Feasts of God. Dear brothers and
sisters, we are now and have been hearing and experiencing the plaintive cry of
thousands of martyrs for Christ (“How
long, O Lord, holy and true,
dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” Rev.
6:10). These trumpet crys (prayers) constitute the opening of the fifth seal.
a. The fifth seal = the Feast
of Trumpets
b. The sixth seal = the Feast
of Atonement
c. The seventh seal = the Feast
of Tabernacles
JUDGMENT (“a shepherd
divideth his sheep from the goats” Mat 25:32)
(Rev
6:12-17) And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal [The Feast of Atonement: “ye shall afflict
your souls” Lev 23:27,32], and, lo,
there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as
sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of
heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when
she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when
it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of
their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the
rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and
every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks
of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide
us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath
of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who
shall be able to stand?
WRATH
(Rev 8:1) And when he had opened the seventh seal [The Feast of Tabernacles: “an offering
made by fire” Lev 23:36], there was
silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
Amen
