In Rev CH6 it speaks of these four riders on different colored horses.
The first is the white horse with a rider wearing a Stephanos, which is the laurel wreath that the Roman politicians wore, not a diadem, which is a kings crown.
This person also has a bow, but no arrows are mentioned. He is a politician.
He has gone out to establish a one world government. We can see the push for just that right now. That rider is on the move.
The second is a red horse and its rider is given a great sword to take peace from the earth so that men will kill each other. Again, we see this happening and increasing week by week, people being murdered for senseless reasons. And this is happening all over the world,right along with wars and threats of expanding local and regional conflict. This is also happening g as we speak. This rider is also on the move now.
The third horse is black, and its rider has a balance in his hand. The angel states “a quart of wheat for a days wage, but do not hurt the oil and wine”. It takes one quart of wheat, ground into flout to make o e loaf of bread, which will feed one person for one day. Massive inflation. We are seeing that build right before our eyes, now. That horse is also on the move, now.
The fourth horse is a pale horse with death as it rider, and hell following after.
He is given power over 1/4th of the earth to kill with famine, plague, hunger, sword, and animals. Again, we see this on the African and Asian continents, we had great locust swarms that ate every green thing in their path, droughts and regional armed conflicts to drive out people from their homes. Local governments attacking their own people as well as insurgents who attack everyone not aligned with their way of thinking.
This rider is also on the move, now.
These are the conditions of the earth just before the start of the “Time of Jacob's trouble, Day of the Lord, Daniel's 70th week, & the Tribulation(as it's called in the NT). But all four descriptions talk about the same period of time,
When God pours out his wrath on this earth.
This is a judgment, on the same level as that flood, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. That kind of judgment. There will be nothing left standing when Jesus actually returns to this devastated earth. Everything we see now, from the mountain ranges the world over, to the cities world wide, they all will be reduced to rubble. The islands will sink beneath the putrid waters of the world's oceans.
It is that kind of judgment. And the church will not be here a for that.
It was taught that we would be united with Jesus in the clouds before judgment started from the first through about the mid fourth century, then it was replaced by other thoughts on eschatology that removed the immanence of Jesus return for his church, to God rejecting Israel and replacing them with the church.
Which calls God a liar and that he changes his mind when he said that if one could count the sands of the sea, then he would forget Israel. He has not forgotten his people, and they are being gathered together in their ancient homeland.
We are in the season of the Lords return for his church. He said that when you begin to see these things happening, to look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption is drawing near.
I think it might be almost at the door.
Maranatha.

Great post and I agree.
Not sure how it all gets fulfilled, but we are definitely starting to see the Nations/Ethnicities roar like the sea (Matthew 24:6-8)

How long this drags out is up for debate.
We’ve been in this “beginning” phase for awhile I’d say - at least 50 years maybe more?

The fact that Israel is now officially a stumbling block for all including self-identifying “Christians” shows just how far down the road we are.

(He is a politician. He has gone out to establish a one world government. We can see the push for just that right now. That rider is on the move.)

Absolutely. He (the Antichrist, the Man of Lawlessness) is coming. I keep trying to tell some small portion of the world 🌏🌎🌍 NOW because the days are coming when it will be close to impossible to share the Word of God and the Gospel to the world 🌏🌎🌍 through the Internet.
