THE FOUR HORSEMEN
OF THE APOCALYPSE

֎ Featuring 28 Paintings ֎

REVELATION
«Chapter 6»

I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was A WHITE HORSE! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, A FIERY RED ONE. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was A BLACK HORSE! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a day’s wages, and three quarts of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was A PALE HORSE! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

Preach it!

God’s Word is truly amazing and the prophecy of Book of Revelation is no exception.

Revelation is so powerful in its prophecy that even before these events take place, people are deceived by, for instance, the White Horse, which some today think is Jesus Christ, EXACTLY the deception this false Christ and man of sin will perpetuate. Amazing.

Spectacular #18 and Dore’ at #20.
Thank you, Dan, as always.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Well, Hollywood spent decades portraying heroes a-ridin’ white steeds....

Jump out of the way, Alba!

You were probably expecting this anyway:

Grantland Rice rides again.

I have a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Southern California, where my first Notre Dame game was the 1966 thorough debacle, 51-0, by the immortal Coley O'Brien--so yes, I always expect that picture and whatever other depredations they can manage.

BushPush!

And Jesus (Rev. 19:11) and we (Rev. 19:14) WILL be riding white horses as well, which Satan, the deceiver, knows all too well.

But Satan is a counterfeiter, so he takes part of the truth of scripture - “behold a white horse and he that sat upon it him is Faithful and true” (Rev. 19:11) - and couples it with a lie - the False Christ on another white horse (Rev. 6:1) - (half truth + half lie = all lie) just as he did with Jesus in the wilderness.

Sometimes it takes the discernment of the Holy Spirit to know whether it is a deception. A prophet once said about the end times we are coming to, “Know God’s Word because the time is soon coming when you will need to know God’s Word.”

I say, “Amen” to that.

sorry to trigger you with the harsh memories. Here’s some more!

Sound advice, Jim. Jesus didn’t call Satan the Father of Lies without ample justification.

I have to say that I am reminded of Disney’s treatment of the “Night On Bald Mountain”, a Rimsky-Korsakov arrangement of Mussorgsky’s original work, in Disney’s Fantasia. I know it’s not an accurate comparison between the two, but it does remind me of it. And it does end well, after all. I can’t help but wonder if the Book of Revelation was the inspiration… One of my favorite movies.

Haven’t seen it, so I cannot comment.

I dare say that this amazing book, the Book of Revelation, is so poignant, that just like when it actually happens (we’ll be gone and in Heaven when this happens), so now it probably takes the discernment of the Holy Spirit to know that the guy on the white horse with the bow in Rev. 6:2 is the false Christ.

God Bless.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Satan has had a LOT of practice in disguising himself. Deception is his middle name.

[Hebrews 11:6]

The rubber meets the road: “...the wise men will bow down before the throne.”
