The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Hello my para beauties! I trust you had a great day and are in good health. This is a subject I've been asked to explain to the best of my knowledge. The book of Revelation can be very intimidating. But we know who wins in the end.

The first Horseman is the rider of a white horse, carries a bow, and wears a crown. He is described as a conqueror. For this reason, he is sometimes interpreted as the Antichrist or as a false world leader. This Horseman is also sometimes called Pestilence.

The second Horseman is astride a red horse and carries a sword. He is associated with war and slaughter, and the Bible attributes to him the power to take away peace and to make men kill each other.

The third Horseman rides a black horse and carries scales. This Horseman, popularly called Famine, is thought to represent not only scarcity of food, but also the strict rationing or unfair allocation of goods and the exploitation of the poor.

The last of the Four Horsemen, Death, rides a "pale horse" of a sickly hue and is followed by Hades, or Hell.

The nature of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is hotly debated by theologians and Christians, but they are almost universally fascinating, regardless or perhaps because of their mystery. They were popular subjects for art during the medieval period and the Renaissance, and references to them continue to crop up in popular culture in our own day and age. Whether or not Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death are the correct interpretations of the Biblical Four Horsemen -- which will likely remain in debate for the foreseeable future -- it is safe to assume that that is what they represent in a cultural or literary context.

In many opinions The book of Revelation in the Bible is real and does not need one to read the hidden truths. When it says Jesus Christ is coming back again it means Jesus Christ is coming back again. When it says the Horsemen it means exactly that.

Since Christ is the One opening these seals and revealing what will happen in this world prior to His return, is there anywhere else in the Bible that He discloses these events? In fact, He did so shortly before His death in a section known as the Olivet Prophecy (given on the Mount of Olives), recorded in the Gospels of Matthew (chapter 24), Mark (chapter 13) and Luke (chapter 21) Seeing what Christ said in this prophecy helps us identify what each of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse represents.

In Matthew 24:3 Christ’s disciples asked, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” In the comparison chart below, notice how Christ’s answer lines up exactly with what He gave years later in the book of Revelation through the apostle John.

Notice the enormous effect of these first four seals (horsemen) in Revelation 6:8: “And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.” This indicates that the first four seals will ultimately result in a death toll of one-fourth the earth’s population. This summary statement also adds something else that will contribute to the death toll—beasts of the earth, which kill as carriers of pestilence and as ravenous predators.

The first four seals are clearly already open in our day now, and the four horsemen of the Apocalypse have been riding through the years, taking their toll on populations. But many other prophecies in the Bible show that their destruction will multiply greatly as the next seal—the fifth seal or Great Tribulation—is about to open. Christ reveals that this world is about to undergo great devastation due to the rebellion of humanity against our Creator.

May God Help us All.

“Shame on the Media, The Blood of Recent Victims is on your hands.”

By Ryan Harshbarger

I have touched on this subject before. Perhaps if you’re one of my readers then you already know what I’m about say. If not, well I have this anger that has been boiling in me for quite a while now. After the most recent shooting in Connecticut it’s completely proven my point; the media outlets and their objective for “ratings” honestly have no souls. History Channel for example was a channel that I used to love, and watch regularly because of their great programs. However, ever since all this Dec 21^stnonsense they have become my most hated outlet.  

To loosely quote Morgan Freemans supposed hoax article, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/blackberry/p.html?id=2315848 which does hold validity “There are a lot of sick people that see these suicide murders on TV, and they want to outdo them and become famous.”  This is serious and the fat cat rating gluttons need to heed these words. “You’re not helping at all you’re only amplifying these tragedies” by 1. “Glorifying these shooters and turning them into house hold names.” 

“Where’s the name of the victims?” 2. “Pumping out all these programs about the Apocalypse.” “Haven’t you learned that some take this very seriously; and they’re killing their families, themselves, and others?”

From this moment on I am personally holding the History Channel, and all major outlets that are feeding the heads of the sick personally responsible for these tragedies. “The blood of these victims is on your hands.” And as your ratings increase, and you get your raises and paychecks I want you to think long and hard the next time you air a program about “blood money” the check that was just deposited into your account is exactly the same.

Shame on all of you! These programs are systematically depleting the lives of innocent men, women and children. So when Dec 22^nd comes and we’re all still here what then? Will you at the History Channel conjure up another apocalyptic scenario to once again scare the masses? Or will you acknowledge your errors and release a statement to refute my feelings on what you’re responsible for?

In closing to all the producers, writers, directors and staff of all the media outlets that are responsible for these atrocities. “I wish you all a very happy holiday, and pray that you have a shred of human decency in you, that will kick in and make you see your errors.” Unfortunately I’ve seen your track record and I’m almost positive you’ll do nothing and continue to chase ratings. Here’s a question “what would you do if everyone stopped watching your stations?”  Ponder that one over the next few days as we countdown to the end of the world that you’ve created.
