THE HORSES ARE COMING! WISH WE WOULD ALL BE READY... JESUS IS COMING AGAIN
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com I do this in at least two parts...
Jeremiah 12:5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
Acts 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
THE HORSES ARE COMING...
Revelations 6 records some world events that reveal what is ahead.
Revelations 6:1 gives an INVITATION: COME AND SEE.
Revelation 6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
MAY WE NOTICE THE LOGICAL ORDER OF THE HORSES.
THE FIRST HORSE: WHITE, THE CONQUERER...
A prince or a "to be" King rode a donkey or a mule. Absalom rode a mule.
Jesus' 7th Triumphal Visit into Jerusalem he rode a donkey...
Kings rode a white horse...
Revelation 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
THE SECOND HORSE: THE RED HORSE... OFTEN RED REPRESENTS WAR! HOT, ANGER, JUDGMENT...
Is it not logical that WHEN JESUS COMES and takes his children home that WAR WILL FOLLOW?
The hatred and fighting will begin as never before... THERE WILL BE NO RESTAINTS TO LIMIT THE HATRED OF MANKIND.
Revelation 6:4 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.
THE THIRD HORSE FOLLOWS ON THE TRAIL OF THE WAR MACHINE'S DESTRUCTION...
THE BLACK HORSE IS COMING FOLLOWING THE DESTRUCTION OF WAR...
THE BLACK HORSE WILL BRING FAMINES, SHORTAGES ...
Revelation 6:5 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. 6 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.
The weapons and bombs will destroy the factories that produce a stable economy. There will be shortages of food, medicine, toilet paper, all the essentials of life.
NOTICE THE BALANCES OR SCALES--- scales are used to weigh and measure things because of the shortages...
ALSO NOTE THAT THE RICH & POWERFUL WILL BE OUT ON THEIR YAUGHTS AND SECURE FORTRESSES. DON'T HURT THE OIL AND THE WINE...
THE FOUR HORSE FOLLOWS IN THE FOOTSTEPS, WHEN THERE ARE SHORTAGES OF ESSENTIALS FOR GOOD LIFESTYLES THAT DEATH WILL BE LOOSED? THE PALE HORSE IS COMING...
Revelation 6:8 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.
How sad the famines and shortages of good water, food, medicine, health care will results in DEATH...
Even sadder yet is HELL is following death as the majority of those dying have not accepted Christ and His Church.
AS A WHOLE OUR SOCIETY SCOFFS AND MAKES FUN OF THE ESCAPIST CHRISTIAN... Pg.#2
PEOPLE WILL BE WILLINGLY IGNORANT AND IGNORE THE SIGNS THAT CLEARLY WARN THEM OF THOSE THINGS COMING...
SCOFFER: to smile and laugh at, to dislike, disrespect, taunting, greed, mockery, scorn, contempt, jeer, derision, TO JUDGE, CRITICIZE, TO INSULT, ridicule, TO MAKE FUN OF IN A CRUEL WAY.
OWN LUST: strong feelings, desire, want, pleasure
2 Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
BEFORE THE HORSE COME TO RELEASE JUDGMENT WE WILL SEE SEVERAL THINGS OCCUR IN THE CHURCH... THERE WILL BE A FALLING AWAY... THE AMERICAN CHURCH IS IN DECLINE. Sure there are mega church offering a compromised gospel that is so seeker friendly that they compromise truth and standards. But check it out... The average denominations have been in decline.
2 Thessalonians 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
THERE WILL THRIVE WITHIN THE CHURCH A SPIRIT OF OFFENSE THAT WILL EXCUSE HATRED AND MEANNESS WITH THE CAMP.
WE KNOW MATTHEW 24 IS A CHAPTER DEALING WITH THE SECOND COMING.
Matthew 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
2 Thessalonians 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
OFFENDED: To cause one or a group to feel hurt, angry or upset by something said or done, to be unpleasant, to do wrong, to be against what is accepted, to injure, vexation, TO CAUSE PAIN OR HURT, resentment.
As a preacher I find myself praying: 1. God help me speak so clear that I am easily understood. 2. God please help me speak in such a way that no one can misunderstand my heart.
PEOPLE TWIST THE WORD TO BE OFFENDED AND USE THIS AS AN EXCUSE TO AVOID CHURCH.
I ponder why people go to Walmart, Krogers and the gas station with hypocrites and they can't go to church with them.
SIN HAS BECOME THE ACCEPTED NORM AND IF YOU SPEAK OR STAND AGAINST SIN YOU ARE A JUDGING BIGOT. THE SPIRIT OF COMPROMISE WILL LEAD TO COLD, INDIFFERENT SPIRITUAL ISSUES.
Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
THERE IS A CRY FROM THE GRANDSSTANDS OF SOCIETY FOR PEACE AND SAFETY...
SAFETY: to protect against failure, free from harm or danger, a safe zone--- free from danger.
1 Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Safety belts? air bags? baby seats? high chairs, electric safety, ....
EACH AMERICAN HOME OWNS ON THE AVERAGE OF 5.7 BIBLES...
THE WORD OF GOD DOES THE WORK OF GOD... IF WE ARE ANEMIC IN THE WORD EVERY ASSECT OF THE CHURCH WILL BE ANEMIC. DO YOU OWN A BIBLE? DOES THE BIBLE OWN YOU?
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
DOES THE BIBLE HAVE EQUAL VALUE AS TO THE TV, COMPUTER AND FACEBOOK?
CAN WE SEE THE DAY APPROACHING? THE TREND CAN BE DANGEROUS... WHO BELIEVES OUR EXCUSES
Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
LET US BYPASS THE LOCAL CHURCH, GOD IS REALLY OVER THERE!
WE HEAR THE CRY: CIRCUS, LET US MAKE CHURCH A CIRCUS, WE CAN MAKE A SHOW AND DRAW A BIG CROWD...
Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Mark 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
WE HAVE A CHURCH THAT TENDS TO FOLLOW THE SIGNS... THE BIBLE SAYS THE PROPER ORDER IS THAT SIGNS FOLLOW THE BELIEVERS... DO WE HEAR THE CRY: COME AND EAT FREE FOOD... LET'S EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY...
Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Did not Paul warn us... (This does not mean we can't have fellowship.)
Coffee shops? Donuts? Breakfast? Meals? Sure, free food gathers crowds?
1 Corinthians 11:34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
WHAT IS GOING ON IN SYRIA? IRAN? PAKISTAN? MEXICAN BORDER? CAN WE SEE THE SIGNS IN THE NEWS?
Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
FIGHTING, WARS... SUPPLY AND DEMAND...
FAMINES: WHEN THERE IS NOT ENOUGH, SCARICITY, STARVATION, SHORTAGES,
PESTILENCES: disease that cause many people to die, contagious, infectious, epidemics, destructive, sickness.
EARTHQUAKES: a shaking of the earth's surface...
IN THE LAST DAYS THE WORLD LEADERSHIP WILL BE UNSTEADY....
THERE WILL BE NO STRONG LEADERSHIP AND THIS WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR THE ANTICHRIST TO COME WALKING TO A WORLD SEEKING STABILITY.
Luke 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
CAN WE NOT SEE THE INCREASE IN THE PERSECUTION OF THE SAINTS...
Luke 21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
Can we not see in the USA, there are groups persecuting our religious freedoms by hiding behind the cause:
SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. Coaches and teachers threatened?
How about around the world, how many are arrest and killed for serving the cross?
CAN WE HEAR SOME BELIEVERS DOUBT JESUS SOON RETURN AND THEY CRY OUT: JESUS HAS DELAYED HIS COMING, MAYBE POSTPONED IT
Matthew 24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY, JESUS DID NOT REALLY MEAN WHAT HE SAID. WE WILL NOT LISTEN...
CAN WE SEE SIGNS OF JESUS RETURNING IN THE MIDDLE EAST? WILL WE IGNORE THE NEWS? WATCH ISRAEL? WATCH JERUSALEM?
Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
Syria, testing gas? Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, the PLO, Isis, Isle, Russia and many others plan on see Israel destroyed...
JESUS IS COMING, ARE WE READY ... I NEVER HEARD OF A TSUNAMI... A VERY HIGH WAVE IN THE OCEAN CAUSED BY AN EARTHQUAKE... TSUNAMI'S CAN DESTROY AND KILL MANY.
Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Luke 21:25 (NLT) “And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides.
MANY PLACES I GO, WHEN THEY HEAR I AM A PREACHER, THEY WANT TO DISCUSS THE SECOND COMING AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST... THEY LIKE TO TALK... BE HONEST THERE MUST BE MORE THAN TALK... WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE MARK?
WHY DISCUSS THE 666 AND THE HYPE OF IT, LET US REASON ABOUT BEING MARKED BY SIN?
Job 10:14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
CONCLUSION: MAY WE ALL BE READY, AND GET EVERYONE WE CAN READY FOR CHRIST JESUS SOON RETURN...
Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Matthew 24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
