THE FOURTH SEAL: THE PALE HORSE OF DEATH

As the tribulation still is going on, the fourth seal will be open it will be liken to a rider on a pale horse. This will bring about more death upon the face of the earth. Revelation state
⁷ When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” ⁸ I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. Revelation 6:7-8

Within the scripture with this seal it will come death, for a fourth of the earth will be killed one way or the other. They will be killed either by the sword, (that could be any type of weapons), due to famine and other plague going on people will die, some will be killed by wild beast of the earth. This is the fourth seal that will be open

Jesus in MATTHEW 24 6-10 speaks about such events to come.
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. ⁷ Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. ⁸ All these are the beginning of birth pains ⁹“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. ¹⁰ At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, ¹¹ and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. ¹² Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, ¹³ but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Three things we are looking at here one is the killing of others by the sword. Many will die this way because of many who refuse to listen to the Antichrist. They will be killed for not listen to or obeying what he has to say. Remember this time is a time of lot of chaos and confusion people could be handed over for the sake of Christ. Second type of death will come because of plagues and famine in the land. Yes, many will die because of the lack of food and not having enough for the long run. The war has killed most of the livestock and the grain in the field. Farmers can’t produce product; therefore, people are dying. sick people can’t get the medical treatment they need and because of this death comes. The last thing we see is people are dying because of wild beast. What people use to kill for pray they are now being to be the hunted. The world is torn upside down and everything on earth is defending its territory.

Not only Revelation point this out but some scripture in the Old Testament point it out as we see

¹⁵ So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the Lord have spoken it.¹⁶When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:¹⁷ So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee: and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken it. -EZEKIEL 5:15-17

God is sending those judgement to the earth and he is doing it to show he is still under control. Not knowing it all most will thing it just a phase or a condition the earth is going through because of the war. It is telling people to get their live right before it’s late to give their live to Christ.

We who are alive now, must know what the future will be like during the time of the tribulation. We don’t know when this will take place. God help those who have to go through all of this. God judgement will be upon the earth because of men sin and unrighteousness. They have rebelled against God and his word. What else must God do to get their attention. What will it take for man to understand God and all his ways. Why do men choose darkness over light? Another thing is this will happen the tribulation period will come, to escape it is to know and understand God love for you and for the world.

Last question and think about it for a while, if this was all to take place 2 years from now and you are still living will you be left behind, or will you be in a different place? A place you are looking and watching, seeing what is taking place on the earth as you have already found peace and favor with God.

TO FIND THE PEACE AND FAVOR WITH GOD NOW IS TO KNOW HIM IN A PERSONAL WAY.

But as many as received him, to them gave he the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: JOHN 1:12
