Rev 6:3-4 The Red Horse<\/h3>\n

[Study Aired April 26, 2024]<\/h5>\n

Rev 6:3\u00a0 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.<\/strong>
\nRev 6:4\u00a0 And there went out another horse\u00a0that was<\/em>\u00a0red: and\u00a0power<\/em>\u00a0was 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In our last study we learned that when the Lamb opened the first four seals on the book\u00a0 of the word of God we were show four horses with four riders. The first horse was a white horse, the second was a red horse, the third was a black horse and the fourth was a pale horse. We learned from Zechariah 1 what the four horses and their riders do in the Lord\u2019s service:<\/p>\n

Zec 1:8\u00a0 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon\u00a0a red horse<\/u>,<\/strong>\u00a0and he stood among the myrtle trees that\u00a0were<\/em>\u00a0in the bottom;\u00a0and behind him\u00a0were there<\/em>\u00a0red horses, speckled,\u00a0and white.<\/u><\/strong>
\nZec 1:9\u00a0 Then said I, O my lord, what\u00a0are<\/em>\u00a0these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these\u00a0be.<\/em>
\nZec 1:10\u00a0 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said,\u00a0These\u00a0are they<\/em>\u00a0whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.<\/strong>
\nZec 1:11\u00a0 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold,\u00a0all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We saw in this first chapter of Zechariah that when the kingdom of our old man \u201csitteth still, and is at rest\u201d, and when \u201cthe heathen [within us] are at ease\u201d that the Lord \u201c[is] very sore displeased with the heathen\u201d, and He comes to us on a red horse and to \u201ctake peace from [our] earth\u201d:<\/p>\n

Zec 1:12\u00a0 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
\nZec 1:13\u00a0\u00a0And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me\u00a0with<\/em>\u00a0good words\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0comfortable words.<\/strong>
\nZec 1:14\u00a0 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
\nZec 1:15\u00a0\u00a0And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are<\/em>\u00a0at ease<\/strong>: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While the colors of the horses vary from Zechariah to Revelation, as brother Tony pointed out, the combined horses number eight, and since the Man on the white horse comes conquering and to conquer\u201d the fruit of these eight horses riding through our lives is the birth of a new man in the image of the Son of God.<\/p>\n

Rev 6:2\u00a0 And I saw, and behold\u00a0a white horse: and he that sat on him\u00a0had a bow; and\u00a0a crown<\/u>\u00a0was given unto him: and he went forth\u00a0conquering, and to conquer<\/u>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Words like \u2018crown\u2019 and \u2018conquer\u2019 are never associated with the adversary. We are told that God has \u201cgiven<\/strong>\u201d him the kingdoms of this world (Luk 4:5-7), and he is called \u201cthe god of this world<\/strong>\u201d, but the adversary\u2019s actions are never referred to as \u2018conquering\u2019 anything. We are told that the adversary was created as a tool in the hand of his Creator. He is assigned and sent by his Creator to take all of Job\u2019s possessions and to afflict Job with boils (Job 1-2). The adversary is sent as \u201cand evil spirit from the Lord\u201d to \u201ctrouble\u201d King Saul (1Sa 16:14). We are told that the adversary was \u201ccreated\u201d as \u201cthe waster to destroy\u201d (Isa 54:16-17). Words like \u201ca white horse\u2026 a crown\u2026 and to conquer\u201d are not appropriate to describe the actions of this crooked serpent who is nothing more than a tool in the Creator\u2019s hand for spreading trouble, lies, destruction and death (Job 26:13). Satan is never once referred to as riding a white horse and going forth \u201cconquering and to conquer\u201d. The scripture makes very clear who it is who rides upon this white horse:<\/p>\n

Rev 19:11\u00a0 And I saw heaven opened, and behold\u00a0a white horse<\/strong>; and he that sat upon him\u00a0was<\/em> called Faithful and True<\/strong>, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
\nRev 19:12\u00a0 His eyes\u00a0were<\/em>\u00a0as a flame of fire, and on his head were<\/em>\u00a0many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
\nRev 19:13\u00a0 And he\u00a0was<\/em>\u00a0clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:\u00a0and his name is called The Word of God.<\/strong>
\nRev 19:14\u00a0 And\u00a0the armies\u00a0which were<\/em>\u00a0in heaven<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0followed him\u00a0upon white horses<\/strong>, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
\nRev 19:15\u00a0\u00a0And out of his mouth goeth\u00a0a sharp sword<\/u>, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron<\/strong>: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
\nRev 19:16\u00a0\u00a0And he hath on\u00a0his<\/em>\u00a0vesture and\u00a0on his thigh<\/u>\u00a0a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is the \u201cKing of Kings and Lord of Lords\u201d who is sitting on this powerful white horse and riding this white horse as He conquers every enemy of His kingdom in our lives.<\/p>\n

Christ comes into our lives, and while He is on a white horse here, He still has a bow in Revelation 6:4, and a sharp sword in Revelataion 19:15. Both are instruments of war which take peace from our \u2018earth\u2019. The outcome of this war is not in question, because Christ is \u201cgiven a crown\u201d, and \u201cHe goes forth conquering, and to conquer.\u201d<\/p>\n

There has been a lot of controversy over the years concerning the symbolism of this white horse and his rider. Many ministers and commentators teach that this particular \u2018white horse\u2019 symbolizes a false Christ, with a false spirit, and a false gospel. There is not one verse of scripture which says that Satan conquers anything. Neither is Satan ever given a crown or a white horse anywhere in scripture.<\/p>\n

The outcome of this heavenly battle was settled in Eden, and it is reiterated after Adam and Eve are cast out of Eden. It was while still in the garden that the fate of the Adversary was revealed:<\/p>\n

Gen 3:15\u00a0 And\u00a0I will<\/u>\u00a0put enmity between thee and the woman<\/strong>, and between thy seed and her seed;\u00a0it<\/u> [<\/u>Christ] shall bruise thy head<\/u><\/strong>, and thou shalt bruise his heel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The efforts of the Adversary causing us to stumble and \u2018bruising our heel\u201d are revealed to be futile in the end. Though we will rebel, and though the adversary is given to \u201cbruise [our] heel\u201d, ultimately Christ will be our ruler, and we will submit to His will in our lives because \u201c[He] will \u2018bruise [our] head\u2019, the \u2018head\u2019 of the kingdom of our old man.<\/p>\n

Eve typifies our first rebellious \u2018harlot\u2019, \u2018bondwoman\u2019 mother, signifying the churches of this world who have given us into all the lies of the Adversary. She, too, will be judged.<\/p>\n

Gen 3:16\u00a0 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;\u00a0and thy desire shall be to [H413:\u00a0\u2018e\u0302l\/\u2018el,\u00a0against] thy husband, and\u00a0he shall rule over thee<\/u>.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe first man Adam\u201d is the vessel of clay which was deliberately marred in the Potter\u2019s hand. His salvation comes only through his destruction: That is the judgment placed upon our old \u201cfirst man Adam.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gen 3:17\u00a0 And unto Adam he said,\u00a0Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife<\/strong>, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
\nGen 3:18\u00a0 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee;\u00a0and thou shalt eat the herb\u00a0of the field<\/u>;<\/strong>
\nGen 3:19\u00a0 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground;\u00a0for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThorns and thistles\u201d are Bible-speak for lying words and false doctrines.<\/p>\n

Eze 2:6\u00a0 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words,\u00a0though\u00a0briers and thorns<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of\u00a0their words<\/u><\/strong>, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is none other than Christ Himself who tells us \u201cthe field is the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mat 13:38\u00a0\u00a0The field is the world<\/u>;<\/strong> the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe herbs of the field\u201d are the false doctrines of this world.<\/p>\n

It is\u00a0only\u00a0through<\/u> <\/strong>Adam\u2019s loss that He is saved. That simply does not compute in the mind of the natural man, but that\u00a0is<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0the doctrine\u00a0of Jesus Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mat 10:39\u00a0\u00a0He that findeth his life shall lose it:\u00a0and\u00a0he that loseth his life<\/u>\u00a0for my sake\u00a0shall find it<\/u>.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is through<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong>the destruction of the first Adam, that Christ, the last Adam, is placed upon His rightful throne in our hearts:<\/p>\n

1Co 3:13\u00a0\u00a0Every<\/u>\u00a0man\u2019s work\u00a0<\/strong>shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because\u00a0it shall be revealed by fire<\/strong>; and the fire shall try\u00a0every<\/u> man\u2019s work<\/strong>\u00a0of what sort it is.
\n1Co 3:14\u00a0 If any man\u2019s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
\n1Co 3:15\u00a0\u00a0If any man\u2019s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss:\u00a0but he himself shall be saved<\/u>; yet so as\u00a0by fire<\/u>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2Th 2:8\u00a0 And then shall that Wicked be revealed,\u00a0whom the Lord\u00a0shall consume<\/u>\u00a0with the spirit of his mouth,\u00a0and shall destroy<\/u>\u00a0with the brightness of his coming:<\/p>\n

Jer 5:14\u00a0 Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold,\u00a0I will make\u00a0my words<\/u>\u00a0in thy mouth fire<\/u><\/strong>, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is one more example of the prophecy of this white horse and his rider at the beginning of the entire Bible. Look at what the Lord tells Cain just before Cain kills Abel.<\/p>\n

Gen 4:2\u00a0 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep [man of God feeding the Lord\u2019s sheep], but Cain was a tiller of the ground [A man of the field, the world].
\nGen 4:3\u00a0 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of\u00a0the fruit of the ground<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0an offering unto the LORD.
\nGen 4:4\u00a0 And Abel, he also brought\u00a0of the firstlings of his flock<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
\nGen 4:5\u00a0 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
\nGen 4:6\u00a0 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
\nGen 4:7\u00a0\u00a0If thou doest well<\/u><\/strong>, shalt thou not be accepted?\u00a0and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And\u00a0unto<\/u>\u00a0[H413: \u2018e\u0302l\/\u2018el,\u00a0against]\u00a0thee<\/strong>\u00a0shall be his desire,\u00a0and thou shalt rule over him<\/u>.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Hebrew word translated \u2018to\u2019 in Genesis 3:16 and \u2018unto\u2019 here in Genesis 4:7 is the exact same Hebrew word which is translated \u201cagainst\u201d in the very next verse.<\/p>\n

Gen 4:8\u00a0 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up\u00a0against [<\/u>H413:\u00a0 \u2018e\u0302l\/\u2018el,\u00a0against]<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0Abel his brother, and slew him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Hebrew word translated \u2018to\u2019 in Genesis 3:16 is \u2018el<\/em>.\u2019 The Hebrew word translated \u2018unto\u2019 in Genesis 4:7 is \u2018el<\/em>.\u2019 \u2018El<\/em>\u2018 is also the Hebrew word translated \u2018against\u2019 in Genesis 4:8. Cain is told\u00a0that sin\u2019s desire would be\u00a0against\u00a0<\/u>him<\/strong>, just as the desires of our flesh are against us all.<\/p>\n

Rom 7:17\u00a0 Now then\u00a0it is no more I that do it<\/u>, but sin that dwelleth in me.
\nRom 7:18\u00a0 For I know that\u00a0in me (that is,\u00a0in my flesh<\/u>,)<\/strong>\u00a0dwelleth no good thing<\/strong><\/u>: for to will is present with me; but [how] to perform that which is good I find not.
\nRom 7:19\u00a0\u00a0For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
\nRom 7:20\u00a0 Now if I do that I would not,\u00a0it is no more I that do it<\/u><\/strong>, but sin that dwelleth in me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Eve is told that her desire would be against<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0her husband. Cain is told that sin\u2019s desire would be\u00a0against<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong>Cain. Both are told that in the end, through the great white throne judgment (Rev 20:11-15), the white horse rider would conquer sin, and salvation would be God\u2019s gift to \u201cthe whole world.\u201d<\/p>\n

1Ti 4:10\u00a0 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God,\u00a0<\/em>who is the Saviour of all men, specially [not exclusively]<\/u>\u00a0of those that believe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1Jn 2:2\u00a0 And he is the propitiation for our sins:\u00a0and not for ours [believers] only<\/u>, but\u00a0also for the sins of the whole world<\/u>.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, the revelation of Jesus Christ is to be found at the very beginning of the Bible, just as this white horse conqueror is at the very beginning of the opening of the seven seals which have held the Bible completely sealed away from the eyes of the natural man.<\/p>\n

Joh 8:43\u00a0 Why do ye not understand my speech?\u00a0even because ye cannot<\/u>\u00a0hear my word.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1Co 2:14\u00a0 But\u00a0the natural man\u00a0receiveth not<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0the things of the Spirit of God:\u00a0for they are foolishness unto him: neither\u00a0can <\/u>he know them<\/strong>, because they are spiritually discerned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why cannot the natural man hear the Lord\u2019s words? This is the only reason:<\/p>\n

Mat 13:10\u00a0 And the disciples came, and said unto him,\u00a0Why speakest thou unto them in parables?<\/strong>
\nMat 13:11\u00a0 He answered and said unto them,\u00a0Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven,\u00a0but to them it is not given<\/u><\/strong>.
\nMat 13:12\u00a0 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
\nMat 13:13\u00a0 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not;\u00a0and hearing\u00a0they hear not<\/u><\/strong>, neither do they understand.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In other words, Christ Himself has deceived and blinded this world so they \u201ccannot<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0hear [His] word\u201d (Joh 8:43) because \u201cit is not given to them\u2026 to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.\u201d This revelation is \u201cgood words and words of comfort\u201d to all who have the testimony of Jesus Christ. For us it is good news to be told that Christ has come conquering and to conquer the kingdom of our old man. This white horse conquerer cannot be seen until after He has already begun to conquer \u201canother Jesus\u2026 another spirit\u2026 and another gospel\u201d which our old man had received. This false Jesus is given to do \u201cmany wonderful works\u201d (Mat 7:22), conquering many weaknesses of the flesh, while remaining completely impotent against all the false doctrines of the principalities and powers in the heavens.<\/p>\n

2Co 11:4\u00a0 For if he that cometh preacheth\u00a0another Jesus<\/strong>, whom we have not preached, or\u00a0if<\/em>\u00a0ye receive another spirit<\/strong>, which ye have not received, or another gospel<\/strong>, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with\u00a0him.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This \u201cwhite horse\u201d is seen through a \u201cdoor opened in heaven,\u201d and it is through this \u201cdoor opened in heaven\u201d that we see all the heavenly powers and principalities which maintain all the false doctrines of the great whore, whose great city is full of what appears to be God\u2019s own \u201cgold, silver and precious stones.\u201d This is the very meaning of John 8:37.<\/p>\n

Joh 8:37\u00a0 I know that ye are Abraham\u2019s seed;\u00a0but ye seek to kill me<\/u>,\u00a0because my word hath no place in you.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Christ is speaking to you and me in this verse.\u00a0This is what\u00a0we<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0want to do to the true Christ while we are in Babylon, while we are still in bondage to the doctrines of Babylon.<\/p>\n

Joh 8:30\u00a0 As he spake these words,\u00a0many believed on him<\/strong>.
\nJoh 8:31\u00a0 Then said Jesus\u00a0to those Jews which believed on him<\/u><\/strong>,\u00a0If ye\u00a0continue<\/strong><\/u>\u00a0in my word,\u00a0then<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0are ye my disciples indeed;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is the revelation of this false religious system, and its hold on the throne of God within us, which causes this white horse to appear and begin this war which must take place within us. It is this white horse rider with a bow and sharp sword who begins this war, which causes so much of the \u201cfiery trials\u201d and the judgments which \u201cmust first begin at the house of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

1Pe 4:12\u00a0 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the\u00a0fiery trial<\/u>\u00a0which is to try you<\/strong>, as though some strange thing happened unto you:<\/p>\n

1Pe 4:17\u00a0 For\u00a0the time is come<\/u>\u00a0that judgment must begin<\/u>\u00a0at the house of God<\/strong>: and if\u00a0it<\/em>\u00a0first\u00a0begin<\/em><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0at us, what shall the end\u00a0be<\/em>\u00a0of them that obey not the gospel of God?
\n1Pe 4:18\u00a0 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These four horses and their four riders are shown to us by the four beasts which are \u201cin the midst of\u2026 and round about the throne\u201d of God (Rev 4:6). As such, they symbolize \u201cthe [true] revelation of Jesus Christ\u201d (Rev 1:1). It is not the revelation of \u201canother Jesus, with another spirit, and another gospel<\/p>\n

2Co 11:4\u00a0 For if he that cometh preacheth\u00a0another Jesus<\/strong>, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit<\/strong>,\u00a0which ye have not received, or\u00a0another gospel,<\/strong>\u00a0which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This fake Jesus, with a fake spirit and a fake gospel, is not that easy to detect.<\/p>\n

Gal 1:6\u00a0 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ\u00a0unto another gospel:
\nGal 1:7\u00a0\u00a0Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you<\/strong>, and would\u00a0pervert the gospel of Christ<\/u><\/strong>.
\nGal 1:8\u00a0 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach\u00a0any other gospel<\/strong>\u00a0unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
\nGal 1:9\u00a0 As we said before, so say I now again,\u00a0If any man preach\u00a0any other gospel\u00a0unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Without a doubt, there is \u201canother Jesus\u201d who brings \u201canother gospel.\u201d The removing of this seal, and the gospel shown to us by the first beast, is the true Christ who sends these horses and their riders into our lives. The white horse comes to conquer, and that is what He will do in the lives of those who receive this revelation.\u00a0 The only other mention of this \u201cwhite horse\u201d in this prophecy of the revelation of Jesus Christ is in chapter 19, and it is the end-product of the work of these four horsemen in our lives and in our heavens. It is the same white horse and the same \u2018King of Kings and Lord of Lord\u2019s\u2019 (Rev 19:16) riding upon a white horse. It is Christ in us (Col 1:27). All in whom dwells the word and spirit of God, all in whose mouths is the sharp two-edged sword of God\u2019s Word are riding on powerful \u201cwhite horses\u201d, and they, too, are \u201cclothed in fine linen, white and clean\u201d, prepared for battle as part of \u201cthe armies in heaven\u201d:<\/p>\n

Rev 19:14\u00a0 And\u00a0the armies\u00a0which were<\/em>\u00a0in heaven<\/strong>\u00a0followed him\u00a0upon white horses,\u00a0clothed in fine linen, white and clean<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is \u201cgood words and words of comfort\u201d (Zec 1:13) to be told that those who follow Christ will \u201csmite the nations and rule them with a rod of iron, and tread the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rev 19:11\u00a0 And\u00a0I saw\u00a0heaven opened,<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0and behold\u00a0a white horse<\/u><\/strong>; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and\u00a0make war<\/u>.
\nRev 19:12\u00a0 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
\nRev 19:13\u00a0 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.<\/strong>
\nRev 19:14\u00a0\u00a0And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses<\/u>,\u00a0clothed in fine linen, white and clean<\/u>.<\/strong>
\nRev 19:15\u00a0\u00a0And\u00a0out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword<\/strong>, that with it he should smite the nations:\u00a0and he shall rule them with a rod of iron<\/strong>: and\u00a0he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.<\/strong>
\nRev 19:16\u00a0 And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written,\u00a0KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Second Beast Reveals The Red Horse<\/h4>\n

Rev 6:3\u00a0 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard\u00a0the second beast<\/u>\u00a0say, Come and see.
\nRev 6:4\u00a0 And there went out another\u00a0horse that was red<\/u>: and [power] was given to him that sat thereon\u00a0to take peace from the earth<\/u>, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him\u00a0a great sword<\/u>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christ makes it very clear that it is He Himself who takes peace away from the world, and the \u201cgreat sword\u201d with which He takes peace away from our \u2018earth\u2019 is His own words and His doctrines:<\/p>\n

Mat 10:34\u00a0\u00a0Think not that I am come to send peace on earth:\u00a0I came not to send peace, but a<\/u> [\u201cgreat\u201d] sword<\/u>.<\/strong>
\nMat 10:35\u00a0 For\u00a0I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.<\/strong>
\nMat 10:36\u00a0\u00a0And a man\u2019s foes [shall be] they of his own household.<\/strong>
\nMat 10:37\u00a0\u00a0He that loveth father or mother more than me\u00a0is not worthy of me<\/u>:<\/strong>\u00a0and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
\nMat 10:38\u00a0 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.<\/strong>
\nMat 10:39\u00a0\u00a0He that findeth his life shall lose it:<\/strong>\u00a0and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.<\/u><\/strong>
\nMat 10:40\u00a0\u00a0He that receiveth you receiveth me<\/u>,<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mat 13:21\u00a0 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth\u00a0because of the word,<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0by and by he is offended.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Christ is also the rider of this red horse. Only when we come to see this will we know what is meant by \u201cgood words and comfortable words\u201d, because we will then understand that the world is within us, and it must be burned out of us for the kingdom of God to be set up in our hearts. It is by this red horse and his rider that all our false doctrines are challenged and are conquered. \u2018The beast\u2019 is within us, and it begins to be dethroned, and our old man begins to \u201cdie daily\u201d (1Co 15:31) as this \u2018red horse\u2019 rides through the kingdom of our old man. That is how we become the \u201cnew man\u201d and have \u201cthe kingdom of God within us\u201d (Luk 17:20-21). It is a time when peace is taken from our earth by the \u201cgreat sword\u201d of His words and doctrines. It is at this time that we begin to lose the life and kingdom of our old man, and in doing so we find the life and kingdom of Christ.<\/p>\n

2Co 5:17\u00a0 Therefore if any man be in Christ,\u00a0he is\u00a0a new creature<\/u><\/strong>: old things are passed away; behold,\u00a0all things are become\u00a0new.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Eph 2:15\u00a0 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments contained in ordinances;\u00a0for to make in himself of twain<\/u>\u00a0one new man<\/u>, so making peace;<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eph 4:24\u00a0 And that ye put on\u00a0the new man<\/u><\/strong>, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.<\/p>\n

Col 3:10\u00a0 And have put on\u00a0the new man,<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0which is renewed in knowledge<\/strong>\u00a0after the image of him that created him:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is the \u2018new man\u2019 only who knows what\u00a0is\u00a0true<\/u>\u00a0doctrine<\/strong>, who teaches what is the\u00a0true<\/u>\u00a0\u201clove for the children of God,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0true<\/u>\u00a0\u201clove of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

1Jn 5:2\u00a0\u00a0By this<\/strong><\/u>\u00a0we know that\u00a0we love the children of God<\/u>,\u00a0when we love God, and keep his commandments<\/u>.<\/strong>
\n1Jn 5:3\u00a0 For\u00a0this is the love of God<\/u><\/strong>,\u00a0that we keep his commandments<\/u><\/strong>: and his commandments are not grievous.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The world into which we are born hates this doctrine of what is the love of the children of God, and what is the love of God. It is given to very few to appreciate the function of the rider of this red horse. Nevertheless, He must ride through our lives or we do not yet know or understand these words.<\/p>\n

Mat 10:39\u00a0 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That simply does not compute in the mind of the natural man. He simply \u201ccannot receive\u201d the words of Christ:<\/p>\n

Mat 5:38\u00a0 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
\nMat 5:39\u00a0 But I say unto you,\u00a0That ye resist not evil<\/strong>: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.<\/p>\n

Mat 5:43\u00a0 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
\nMat 5:44\u00a0 But I say unto you,\u00a0Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Christ Himself tells us that it is He and His doctrine which\u00a0begins to \u201ctake peace from the earth\u201d when we are given to accept Christ\u2019s Words.<\/p>\n

Mat 10:34\u00a0\u00a0Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a [great] sword.<\/strong>
\nMat 10:35\u00a0\u00a0For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother,<\/strong>\u00a0and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
\nMat 10:36\u00a0 And\u00a0a man’s foes\u00a0shall be<\/em>\u00a0they of his own household<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rev 6:4\u00a0 And there went out another horse\u00a0that was<\/em> red: and power<\/em>\u00a0was given to him that sat thereon\u00a0to take peace from the earth<\/u>, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him\u00a0a great sword.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Joh 8:43\u00a0 Why do ye not understand my speech?\u00a0even because ye\u00a0cannot<\/u>\u00a0hear my word<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1Co 2:14\u00a0 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him:\u00a0neither can he know them<\/u>, because they are spiritually discerned.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Summary<\/h4>\n

We will have to wait until the next study to get to the black and the pale horses and their riders.<\/p>\n

We have seen that it is Christ Himself who opens the seven seals on this book, but the meaning of these four horses and their four riders is revealed to us, not directly by Christ Himself, but rather\u00a0by the four beasts<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0which are \u201cin the midst of the throne.\u201d In other words, the understanding of the revelations hidden by the seals is made manifest\u00a0by<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0God\u2019s elect\u00a0to<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0God\u2019s elect.<\/p>\n

We have seen that the reason we are talking about horses instead of any other animal, is that this revelation of Jesus Christ is the revealing of a war that is being waged in our heavens. Horses, in scripture, are animals which are associated with war.<\/p>\n

Rev 12:7\u00a0\u00a0And there was\u00a0war in heaven<\/u><\/strong>: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We have seen that the white horse is the revealing of the truth which is hidden behind the first seal, and that white horse and his rider are Christ in us, having come to conquer all His enemies within us. He has come on a powerful white horse to do battle with a bow and \u201ca great sword\u201d, to do war, to conquer, and He will not be deterred.<\/p>\n

Finally, we saw that Christ is also \u201cHe that sat on\u2026 a red horse\u201d, who comes into our lives tp \u201ctake peace from [our] earth\u201d. We have seen that \u201cthe earth\u201d is God\u2019s own people who \u201ccannot receive His words.\u201d He does all of this with \u201ca great sword,\u201d which is \u201cthe sword of the word.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eph 6:17\u00a0 And take the helmet of salvation,\u00a0and the\u00a0sword<\/u>\u00a0of the Spirit, which is\u00a0the word of God<\/u>:<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In our next study, Lord willing, we will see what Christ will real to us when He opens the third and fourth seals and has the third and fourth beasts tell us to \u201ccome and see<\/u><\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rev 6:5\u00a0 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.
\nRev 6:6\u00a0 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.
\nRev 6:7\u00a0 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
\nRev 6:8\u00a0 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
