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.
