Today, there is no question that there are hostile divisions within local cities, in nations as a whole, and they exist globally. In America, they call those divisions the “right wing,” which includes Christianity, and the “left wing” of progressive “globalists” who despise the teachings of Jesus Christ. The divisions are full of conflict, angry protests, violence, and even wars between world governments. Those divisions also relate to the gap between those who have and those who don’t. The sword of division is the common element in all of the six seals. It is dividing those who live by the mark of the beast from those who don’t.

The six seals begin with the rider on the white horse who comes in peaceably, followed by the next seal where peace is taken away and causes violence between one another. That killing divides those who live for the thing which forms what they think, feel, and do from those who don’t. The thing which forms feelings and thoughts enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people and they are hostile towards who do not allow it to speak and live through them. As it lives and speaks through people, they are conformed to their place in life, to their mark in life, and are living by the mark of the beast.

The division causes an extreme economic gap between those who have and those who don’t have. Death follows through hunger, sicknesses, and more violence. The situation becomes so extreme that those who live for Jesus Christ are being killed. The prayers of God’s people come at the opening of the Seventh Seal to reveal the Seven Trumpets. The Seven Trumpets begins the destruction of the earth, the global economy, and the power center of the mark of the beast, which leads to global war (Battle of Armageddon), and then comes the return of Jesus Christ.

The Rider on the White Horse Who is Bent on Conquest 1st Seal
“I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.” Revelation 6:1-2

The Seven Seals are opened as a result of the corruption of five of the seven churches. That is described in Revelation chapter 4. Jesus Christ established the Church, so we know the rider on the white horse of the First Seal comes after Jesus has already been here. We know the rider on the white horse in this verse is not Jesus Christ because Jesus returns on a white horse after the Seven Seals are opened, after the events of the Seven Trumpets, and after the events of the Seven Plagues. Jesus Christ comes back riding a white horse when this world’s system is done and finished.

Who is the rider on the white horse? The white horse is the false god which “…enters peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and it will do what its fathers have not done, nor its forefathers.” Daniel 11:24 Click here for a post on Daniel 11:24. It portrays itself as a lamb, “Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.” Revelation 13:11 Click here for a post on revelations 13:11 As an example of being like a lamb and speaking like a dragon, they call the killing of the unborn, “Reproductive Rights,” and they promote the LGBQT+ community through the, “Respect for Marriage Act.” The “two horns like a lamb” are like humanism and the churches because it sounds churchy, righteous, and peaceable and talks about human dignity, self-esteem, human respect, and a “democratic” society. However, its results are atrocious, destructive, and of the dragon Satan.

That first seal is already opened and the rider on the white horse is on this earth. This is the one which forms what we speak, do, think, and feel. It enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people. In cities everywhere across the globe people are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do. They detest God, Jesus, and the holy Spirit. That is what sets the world on course towards the global tribulation. The rider on the white horse creates an image of righteousness and of a global “democracy,” but it is only a disguise, “For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.” 2 Corinthians 11:14-15

The rider on the white horse comes to conquer, and people around the world serve it as a king with a crown as they boast, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelation 13:4 It is because of the deceitfully peaceful and righteous image of the dragon that there is so much violence in the world today, which is explained in the next six seals.

The one sitting on the white horse of the First Seal is the one described here, “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click here for a post on the “man of sin.” This beast is given a crown as king in every city, state, and nation across the globe, as quoted, “Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.” Revelations 13:1 The world is made to serve this beast by being required to welcome it into our body, the temple of God, as it gives people what to think, feel, say, and do. This entity is a conqueror bent on the conquest of souls by sitting in us as if it is God. This entity conquers by its power over physiology, not necessarily by military force, thus it has a bow but not mentioning arrows. Even so, it brings destruction and death.

The one on the white horse makes war with the saints, God, and Jesus Christ in its quest to conquer souls, “Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:6-8 The “He” in this verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast.

The one on the white horse of this First Seal rules on this earth for “42 months”. Click here for a post on the beginning and end of those 42 months.

World Severed through Killings 2nd Seal
“When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.” Revelation 6:3-4

With a large sword, peace is taken from the earth and people kill other people. That describes the present world we live in, and it will increase with intensity as time progresses forward. In the following seals, it’s written that the sword creates extreme economic imbalance, and it is God’s people pleading for His help. It’s clear that the sword of division benefits those who welcome the thing which forms what they feel, think and do as they allow the image of the beast to live and speak through them as they live by the mark of the beast. On the other hand, it harms those who serve Jesus Christ. As followers of Jesus Christ, we do what we can to be set apart from the violence of the world, and to live a sanctified life by the presence of the Holy Spirit in us.

Today, the Gospel of Christ is scarce in the world and not present in the churches, nor are the values of the Bible in government lawmaking, nor the teachings of the Bible in the educational system, nor is Christianity welcomed in any sector of society. We can consider ourselves to be the faithful few who hold to the testimony of Jesus in a world which blasphemes God, rejects the need for Jesus Christ, and tramples on the Holy Spirit. We cling to the Holy Spirit as Jesus Christ is taken out of this Godless world.

The following verse explains that when the Holy Spirit is taken out of this world, then lawlessness abounds, “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” 2 Thessalonians 2:7-10

Extreme Economic Divide 3rd Seal
“When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages,  and do not damage the oil and the wine!” Revelation 6:5-6

Having food is a basic need for keeping people alive. To have that food I have to have a way to buy it, but what happens when the prices of food are so high that it requires a whole day’s wages to put a meal on the table. To have wages (or digital credits) means that a person has a job and working for the government of the beast, but what happens when a person is unemployed and at the same time the people who do work have a hard time buying food? The people who are working and still buying food (or being credited with food) are those who live by the thing which forms what they think, feel, and do as it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them. As it lives and speaks through people their place in life, or mark in life, is established to buffer them from economic chaos. They are groomed to the mark of the beast.

Those who choose Jesus Christ are financially poor and without adequate food supplies. Oil represents wealth and it is not touched, and neither is the wine. The wealth of the new global order is horded by those who govern and live by the beast which forms thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and feelings while controlling resources and the digital currency (money supply). Meanwhile, wine may represent substance abuse since we see massive deaths from addiction to drugs and alcohol. Wine may also represent medicine and healthcare. City and state governments around the nation publicly boast about prosperous economic development and healthcare for one sector, while violence, inadequate healthcare, substance abuse, and poverty seem perpetual in another sector. The global “democratic” society will never sacrifice their own needs and prosperity to help God’s people. In the fifth seal God’s people plead for help.

Death by Animal Attacks, Hunger, Sicknesses, and Human Violence 4th Seal
“When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, Come!” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.” Revelation 6:7-8

At this time of the Fourth Seal, death fills the world through a shortage of resources, economic hardships, violence, pandemics, hunger, and even by vicious animal attacks. There is a catastrophic breakdown of the global social-economic structure.

Today, safety, health, food insecurity, social issues, and economic issues are constantly publicized in the news by politicians. Currently, a federal program has been established called ESG which requires investments to contribute Economically, Socially, and to the Government. They have been talking about those issues for decades as they continue with no solutions in a never-ending cycle of social destruction. Promises abound for a fairer and more inclusive “democratic” society as nations sign-on to the global goals of the United Nations. They are establishing a “global culture” founded on the thing which enables the image of the beast to live and speak through the world’s population by the thing which forms what people think, feel, and do. The global government of the beast is here.

Along with death by the sword, famine, and plague, people are dying by animal attacks, and it is obvious that animals are under the influence of the thing that has power over physiology to manipulate behaviors. In Revelation 18:2 it talks about how mean-spirited and detestable the animals are within this world’s system, “She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.” Twenty-five percent of the earth’s population are killed by animal attacks, human violence, hunger, pandemics, diseases, and sicknesses of all types. There are no guarantees for health care, no money (no credits of digital currency), and no protection from violence. God’s people are crying out to God for help, as seen in the next seal.

God’s People Call on God for Help 5th seal

“When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.” Revelation 6:9-11

This 5th Seal is the prediction, foresight, or prophecy of the death that will come to the followers of Jesus Christ. That foreknowledge is given when asked how long it will be before judgment is brought to this world. The answer is that judgment will come after other Christians have suffered death for the testimony of Jesus. Even today, the topic of the 5th Seal is on the tongue of every Christian around the world.

Many of God’s people, who have already been killed for their faith in God, plead to God to avenge their deaths, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” Those already murdered for the Gospel of Christ include the Apostles and many other Christians of the past. Many more who hold to the testimony of Jesus Christ will be killed before it’s over. Today, many are already dying from inadequate or neglect of health care, or from the constant attacks by the “ants” and “flies” that wear us down, weaken us, and eventually causes death. The affliction in these present days can be unbearable, but hardships intensify as the world progresses under the “democratic” global culture of the government of the beast (United Nations). Many of us who hold to the testimony of Jesus Christ will be killed like the Christians before us, “Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.”

Those who choose Jesus Christ over the thing which forms what people think, feel, and do suffer greatly under the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seals. We are cut off from the established social network of the “democratic” society, we suffer financial hardship, and we are being killed by the silent killer of a psychotic “lamb”. All of the suffering is caused by the false god that rides on the white horse in the first seal. God knows our suffering and has our prayers in His presence, “Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.” Revelation 5:8.

Judgment is coming, and Jesus Christ gives Salvation to all who call on Him, and through Him we have eternal life, but those who reject Him have eternal torment. Jesus Christ Himself is an answer to prayer, the coming judgment of the earth is another answer to prayer, and eternal life in the New Jerusalem is another answer to prayer. All of those answered prayers are for all Believers and for those who lose their life while clinging to the testimony of Jesus. Daniel had concerns about his prayers not being answered and the answer given to Daniel is found in Daniel 10.

Those faithful to God through Jesus eagerly wait for the coming judgment against the inhabitants of the earth. This current government of the beast has an end and exists for just “42 months” after its appearance, Revelation 13:5, it is then destroyed. Today, the global government of the beast is here, and we are within “42 months” of the coming of Jesus Christ.

Environmental chaos wrecks the Earth……6th seal

“I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island were removed from its place.

Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne
and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” Revelation 6:12-17

This sixth seal is when the governors of the world begin to lose control over what is happening to the planet. The previous five seals have brought total embarrassment and tragedy to the global “democracy” of the beast. The clothing of humanism, which is worn by the those who live by the thing which forms what they think, feel, and do, has become severely tattered. Humanitarian crisis and human sufferings abound around the world and now the world leaders are trying to hide from the reality of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. They are suffering severe environmental problems to their global utopia.

Just like the crisis of global warming today, which will intensify to unmanageable proportions in the Fourth Plague (Revelation 16:8-10), the global leaders of the Sixth Seal are governing under severe environmental disasters. National leaders, global leaders, the wealthy, military generals, people of renown, and everyone else are not able to cope, they cry out, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand.”

God’s people have called on Him and what comes when the Seventh Seal opens to reveal the Seven Trumpets is His answer. The earth is going to shake, rattle, and roll. While this Sixth Seal describes the beginning of the end, the opening of the Seventh Seal goes into detail of the events of the final days of this earth. With the Seven Trumpets come the collapse of the global economy, the spread of deadly blood-borne diseases, pandemics, the destruction of the power center of the mark of the beast, global war (Armageddon), and then the return of Jesus Christ.
