Revelation
Chapter 6:

Overview to the
Seven Seals - Strategy For Ending The Plan Of Salvation:
In Chapter Six John relates the state of the earth at the time
of the end.
Many people
believe that because God is aware of the future He must have
programmed us to behave the way we do. They call this the doctrine of
'predestination', claiming that men do not really exercise free will
under God.
Nothing could be
further from the truth, however. The doctrine of predestination is
simply another result of man trying mold God in man's sinful, thus
limited, image. We can't imagine an intellect capable of love beyond
our capabilities, so we assume God must not possess an intellect or
love greater than ours.
But the truth
is that God knows the future because God created us, and He has known
from the day He created us - through LOVE - what our choices would be
throughout earth's history. He knew we would sin, yet He created us
anyway, complete with a plan for teaching us the results of sin.
The difficult part for humans
is: While God knows what we are going to do, we do not know what
we are going to do, so we are still obligated to make the right
choices by loving and caring for one another as He would. And to love
Him and one another. This is all that God has ever asked of us.
What event
indicates that the end of the Plan of Salvation is at hand? Jesus said:
"...If
a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if
Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot
stand, but hath an end.
No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his
goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he
will spoil his house." (Mark
3:25-27 KJV)
The Apostle Paul
tells us:
"Let
no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except
there come a falling away first, and that
man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth
himself above all that is called God,
or that is worshipped; so that he as
God sitteth in the temple of God,
shewing himself that he is God." (2
Thessalonians 2:3-4 KJV)
This is where we
stand today. That 'man of sin', the instigator of the downfall of apostate
Christianity, has 'legally' voided God's entire Ten
Commandment Law, disenfranchised
all religious believers, and has also exalted himself above the
God by attempting to undermine the structure of Islam.
The use of God's
name by the US Government today is simply blasphemous, as it
has completely rebelled against the moral authority of His Law. The
US government today is acting as God, dealing judgment and
death to God's people of Islam with the tacit approval of apostate
Christian religions. In the process, the government is trying to
implement the same type of oppressive 'democracy' in Islamic nations
that has corrupted the morals of, and removed the political rights
of, devout people within these same Christian religions.
If you believe
that God loves the entire world as He says He does, that He is a
greater Strategist than any human general in history, then you must
know that today - right now - the strong man mentioned by Jesus is
plainly bound (tied up) by his own lies.
We just need
eyesalve to see the truth. |
The
First Seal:

Church | First Trumpet
| First Plague
"And
I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow;
and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth
conquering, and to conquer." (Revelation
6:2 KJV)
-
First
Horseman: The first horsemen
is Apostate "Christian" Civil Government,
represented by the "Beast" in Revelation chapter thirteen.
The crown this horseman is given represents our crowned King,
Jesus, as the founder of Christianity, and the fact that He made all
of His followers kings as well. Under the blasphemous use of His name
nations have been conquering with violence since Constantine. The
first horseman's identity is further confirmed in verse 8 when this
Beast, and the second Beast of chapter 13, are characterized
as "the beasts of the earth" to whom was given power
to "kill a fourth part of the earth".
The
Second Seal:
See Also: Second
Church | Second Trumpet
| Second Plague
"And
there went out another horse that was red: 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." (Revelation
6:4 KJV)
-
Second
Horseman: Islamic Government, responsible for wounding
one of the seven heads of the Beast of Chapter Thirteen. This wound
is a reference to the Crusades begun in 1096 AD (See the
iniquity remembered by God described in Ezekiel 21:23). Islam is
the only religion given permission by God to defend itself through war,
thus it was given power to "take peace from the
earth". The "Great Sword" is the Quran, the Word of
God as recorded by the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh).
"Fighting
is obligatory for you, though it is hateful to you. But you may
hate a thing although it is good for you, and may love a thing
although it is evil for you. Allah knows, and you do not."
- [Surah 2.216]
The Quran's
representation of God's attitude toward war is much like the attitude
initially assigned to God by Moses in the Bible, an attitude that
describes God as capable of killing, or of giving men permission to kill.
The
Third Seal:
See Also: Third
Church | Third Trumpet
| Third Plague
"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; and he that sat on him
had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst
of the four beasts 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." (Revelation
6:5-6 KJV)
-
Third
Horseman: The Judgment of
just war (rendered prophetically in Ezekiel 21:13). The
voice in the midst of the four beasts states the criterion of just
war: That laid out by Jesus in the Parable of the Good Samaritan
(Luke 10:33-35). In that parable the good Samaritan rescued the
wounded man, dressed his wounds and tended to his spirit, then left
him with an innkeeper, paying two pennies for the man's care. War for
the purpose of rescue is tolerated as long as the victim's
humanitarian needs are taken care of by the victor, and as long as
the spirit of the victim is not compromised ("See
thou hurt not the oil and the wine").
The
Fourth Seal:
See Also: Fourth
Church | Fourth Trumpet
| Fourth Plague
"And
I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was
Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over
the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger,
and with death, and with the beasts of the earth." (Revelation
6:8 KJV)
-
Fourth
Horseman: Death and the Grave. "And
power was given unto them over a fourth part of the earth, to kill
with sword, hunger, and with death, and with the beasts
of the earth". This fourth part of the earth that will
die from this final transgression is the Beast itself, the Beast "that
was, and is not, and yet is" (Revelation 17:8) because
it is an abomination of Christianity and civil authority. True
Christianity is a brotherhood ruled only by God, there cannot be
a "Christian" government that does not operate as a
brotherhood with God as its one and only Leader.
The
Fifth Seal:

Church | Fifth Trumpet
| Fifth Plague
Judgment
Of Pre-Christian Saints: "And
when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls
of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony
which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, 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, until their fellowservants also and their brethren,
that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled." (Revelation
6:9-11 KJV)
The
Sixth Seal:
See Also: Sixth
Church | Sixth Trumpet
| Sixth Plague
"And
I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, 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?" (Revelation
6:12-17 KJV)
-
Sixth
Seal - The great spiritual earthquake of September 11th, 2001: The
moon and sun as affected by the "heaven departed as a scroll
when it is rolled together", the long plume of smoke of that
day. The stars of heaven represent the saints within the twin towers
when they collapsed. See Ezekiel Chapter twenty one.
"And
it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that
thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every
heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every
spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water:
behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the
Lord GOD." (Ezekiel
21:7)
The darkened state
of the sun and moon also represent spiritual desolation and darkness
of Judeo-Christianity before September 11, 2001, comparable only
to the spiritual darkness reached by Christianity at the time of
Crusades after the Fourth Trumpet of Revelation was sounded.
Organized Christianity
today, made up of tax-exempt "non-profit" corporations that
profit mightily while the poor suffer, is the spiritual Harlot
of Babylon. Chapter Eighteen of
Revelation notes the how the Crusades are remembered by God at this time:
"For
her sins have reached unto heaven, and God
hath remembered her iniquities." (Revelation
18:5 KJV)
The Western powers
of the current "anti-terrorism" coalition are killing,
corrupting, and oppressing God's people of Fundamentalist
Islam world-wide using GOD as their authority. Yet the driving
force behind their efforts are the economic goals of securing
oil supplies for the West and opening new markets for corporate
special interests.
As such these
powers define the Beast of Revelation, whose wound represents
the defeat of Christianity in the Crusades, and who is the
"Abomination of Desolation" spoken of by Jesus throughout
the Bible:
"But
when ye shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let
him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to
the mountains." (Mark
13:14)
Western powers -
especially the USA as the world's sole 'superpower' - are acting in
God's name with absolutely no
spiritual authority to do so, with the tacit approval of the
"Christian" Churches of Babylon - churches who accept
bribes and favors from governments.
They are paid to
keep silent.
True Christians
themselves have been virtually disenfranchised
from Western political systems that have disenfranchised people
of all beliefs, forcing them to accept every type of moral and
political evil known to man if they wish to participate in the
political process.
-
Every
mountain
moved out of its place: Apostate Christianity justified
the use of offensive violence as vengeance, Apostate Islam claimed to
be a 'peaceful religion'.
-
Every
island
moved out of its place:
The former international coalition formed for the Gulf War fell
apart, the USA waged offensive war against poor nations.
-
People
requesting Mountains and Rocks to fall on them: Most
people of all kinds sought answers to the carnage in religion,
including the President of the United States (said to the mountains,
'fall on us') or in God (said to the Rocks,
'fall on us').
But it's too late.
They've turned the world upside down, the lamb of democracy has
become the wolf of capitalistic fascism.
Only God has the
answers now, no religion created by man retains any type of
credibility today, for they are all tolerating men of
greed, religious and atheistic, acting in God's
name against the commands of their own scriptures. God warned us
of September 11th long ago, in Ezekiel
Chapter Twenty One:
"Cry
and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be
upon all the princes of Israel: terrors
by reason of the sword shall be upon my people:
smite therefore upon thy thigh.
"Because
it is a trial, and what if the sword
contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.
"Thou
therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together, and let
the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain:
it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into
their privy chambers.
"I
have set the point of the sword against all their gates,
that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is
made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter." (Ezekiel
21:12-15)
"And
thou, profane wicked prince of Israel,
whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end, Thus saith the
Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not
be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.
"I
will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more,
until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him." (Ezekiel
21:25-27)

corruption and greed to His people of Islam.
