CHAPTER SIX - THE LORD BEGINS OPENING THE SEALS IN THE BOOK - BIRTH PANGS

6:1-2 The first seal is opened as John hears thunder and one of the creatures says, “Come and see.” Behold, John sees a white horse and one that sat on him had a bow and a crown was given unto him and went forth conquering.

On the walkway leading up to the United Nations there was a statue of a rider on a horse with a crown on his head and an olive branch, shaped like a bow, in his left hand (now in storage). Is it possible that the UN is the opening of the first seal? They are working to make universal laws that will deny nations their sovereignty. They are, in fact, a Godless institution.

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is an independent, nonpartisan membership organization, think tank, and publisher that advises the government of the United States on foreign affairs and the setting of government policies. They are made up of many of what are known as “elitists” today. Their logo is a rider with a bow and a crown sitting on a white horse! Their agenda is to further one world government. I believe the first seal is the globalist, one world order movement taking place in the world today. This includes gatherings such as the Bilderbergers, Trilateral Commission, United Nations, World Bank, and various other elite groups who are working on a plan for one world governance. The rider on this horse can be called deception. Also discuss state and local assets sold to foreigners.

6:3-4 The second seal opened and a red horse went forth. Power was given him that sat on the horse to take peace from the earth that they should kill one another. He that sat on the horse was given a great sword.

Today we see great unrest in the earth and many wars and uprisings. Some of these wars are contrived by the NWO (New World Order) elitists. The great sword could represent the unrest and civil wars now taking place in the Middle East, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya. The nations of the Middle East are beginning to align against the nation of Israel. The
Arab spring will lead to Islamic governments bent on Israel’s destruction. Wars will continue in various areas of the world.


6:5-6 The third seal is opened and a black horse goes forth. He that sat on the horse had a pair of balances (scales) in his hand. John heard a voice in the midst of the creatures say, “A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny, and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.” Scales indicate a financial system. Scales can be interpreted as yoke, indicating a heavy burden.

A measure of wheat and barley is equal to about 2,000 calories or a day’s worth of food. Today we are seeing rampant inflation causing the price of food to escalate. The United States is in dire financial straits and the government is debasing the dollar as a means of paying off the debt. This is causing the nations of the world to experience inflation. The dollar is the world’s reserve currency and we are exporting inflation as we debase the dollar. Many of the Middle East uprising were about the cost of rising food prices. An average Egyptian lives on $4 a day. That is daily survival mode. This is the third horse.

Financial crises are increasing among western nations and will continue to worsen. This will set the stage for the globalists to establish the NWO as nations collapse financially. As we see in Greece today that nation is selling off national treasures, port facilities, and business to finance their debt. These are being purchased by the elitist bankers at fire sale prices. Greece is becoming a slave to debt. A financial collapse will open the door for many nations to lose their sovereignty. Proverbs 22:7 Who enjoys the oil and wine here? The elitist’s who are in control.

6:7-8 The fourth seal is opened and a pale horse goes forth and the name of he who sat on him was Death and Hell. Power was given him over the fourth part of the earth to kill with the sword, with hunger, with death and the beasts of the earth.

This represents continuing wars, the sword of Islam, famine and hunger, and flu and plagues such as bird flu, mad cow disease, and other diseases spread by animals to man (wild beasts of the earth). We are now experiencing droughts in China, Russia, and the United States. Food prices will rise and food is going to become scarce as these disasters continue in the world. This seal is like the first three combined all happening at once.

:9-11 The fifth seal is opened and John saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God. Martyrs down through the ages up until now. These saints cried out for justice and the establishing of God’s Kingdom upon the earth. They were given white robes (the righteousness of the saints Rev19:8) and told to rest for a season until their brethren that should also become martyrs should be fulfilled.

I see this as an indication that there is yet coming persecution of Jews and Christians. Today we see Christians in the Middle East heavily persecuted in Egypt and throughout Africa. This as a warning that the pre-trib rapture is not sound doctrine. God is warning us ahead of time to be prepared. Matt 24:9-13 Are we to be exempt from what those before us have experienced? The altar shadows the bronze altar of sacrifice which was out side the temple. The Lord is not asking anything of his people that He has not experienced Himself--He was the ultimate sacrifice. Gen 4.10

6:12-17 The sixth seal was opened and there was a great earthquake, the sun became black, the moon red. The stars fell just as a fig tree cast forth her untimely figs when shaken. The heaven departed as a scroll (this looks like atomic warfare) and the earth was shaken. Men hid themselves in fear and wished to die for fear of the Lord.

We see earthquakes today in various places. Serious ones in Japan and New Zealand. We see the nation of Iran producing an atomic weapon. Do you think they will not use it? The chances are high there will be atomic war sometime in the days ahead. Do you think in the next 20 years it can be avoided? No man is exempt from this terror if they are in the theater of war. They will hide and cry out. Let us pray it does not happen in the USA. The day of the
Lord’s wrath is not a day of rejoicing. Earth pole shifts could cause tremendous earthquakes.

The sun becoming black and the moon red also describe solar and lunar eclipses. The years 2014-15 will see a rare event called solar triads taking place--these are signs in the heavens warning us of events to come. See: Dissection of a Lunar Tetrad.
