WHAT TIME IT IS®™
Rev. 6:1 And
[1] I saw when the Lamb [Jesus begins to personally
direct the course of events] opened one of the seals, and
[2] I heard, as it were the noise of thunder [from the throne of God (Rev.
4:5)], one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
The first
seal: the Antichrist begins as a man
of peace
6:2 And I saw, and
[1] behold a white horse [a
symbol of peace (c/p.
Rev. 19:11)]: and
[2] he that sat on him had a bow
[but no arrows . . . at first]; and
[3] a crown was given [he
is one of the 10 kings of
revised
Rome (Rev.
13:1)] unto him: and
[4] he went forth conquering, and
to conquer.
The second
seal: war caused by the Antichrist's
conquering
6:3 And when he had opened
the second seal, I heard the second
beast say, Come and see.
6:4 And
[1] there went out another horse
[that was] red [a horse of blood]: and
[2] [power] was given to him [the
demonic prince] that sat
thereon
[a.] to take peace from the earth
(Matt.
25:6), and
[b.] that they should kill one another: and
[3] there was given unto him a
great sword.
The third seal: famine resulting from the wars [Matt. 24:7]
6:5 And when he had opened
the third seal, I heard the third
beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and
[1] lo a black horse; and
[2] he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the
four beasts say,
[1] A measure of wheat for a penny [a day’s wages (c/p.
Matt. 20:9)], and
[2] three measures of barley for
a penny; and
[3] [see] thou hurt not the oil
and the wine [luxury items for the rich will be plentiful…for a
price].
The forth seal: Death and Hell
[1.5 billion people killed]
6:7 And when he had opened
the fourth seal, I heard the voice of
the fourth beast say, Come and see.
[1] behold a pale horse
[greenish; gangrene in color]: and
[2] his name that sat on him was Death [the angel of death], and
[3] Hell [the
under lord of hell…likely Apollyon
(Rev.
9:11), anxious to claim the souls of the lost] followed with
him [on the same or, perhaps, another horse]. And
[4] power was given unto them [the angels of death and hell ] over the fourth part of the earth, to kill [over a billion and a half people will be killed (c/p. Rev. 9:18)]
[a.] with sword [war], and
[b.] with hunger [famine], and
[c.] with death [plagues], and
[d.] with the beasts of the earth [hungry because of the famine].
