The Second Seal, the Second Horseman
The article APO010 analyzes the second seal of Revelation (Rev 6.3-4): a red horse whose rider receives a great sword and the power to take peace from the earth. Through four symbols — the red horse, the rider, the sword and the peace taken away — the study explores the reality of war as divine judgment and human responsibility, stressing that only Christ can bring true and lasting peace.
Revelation 6.3-4 (King James Version) :And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.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.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
