APO010
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.
Daniel 9.24-27 (King James Version) :Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -
APO012
The Fourth Seal, the Fourth Horseman
The article APO012 studies the fourth seal of Revelation (Rev 6.7-8) and the appearance of the pale horse ridden by Death. As the culmination of the three previous horsemen, this rider is given power to kill a quarter of humanity by war, famine, plagues and wild beasts. The article stresses the divine sovereignty that frames this terrible judgment, and places this event within the prophetic unfolding of the end times.
Revelation 6.7-8 (King James Version) :And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.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.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
