REVELATION' S FOUR HORSEMEN.

Many have called them the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but remember these words were All written by 100 A.D. concerning the New Testament. This " White Horse" then covers from the Cross to 100AD.

John 8:44. "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

Note: This was Jesus speaking to the Scribes and the Pharisees, who had grown up under the man made laws that Jesus called the Traditions of men. Thus ignoring the word of God, He equaled them as sons of your father who in this case is Satan!

THE WHITE HORSE--and the RIDER. from 31-100 A.D.

Revelation 6:1-2. "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. 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."

Amos 3:7. "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets."

Note: from the above verses, we find:
1: The Lamb is  Jesus Christ, opening one of the Seals
2: White, the color of purity and righteousness
3: Horse indicating power
4: Bow shows strife and even war battles
5: Crown, on the head of our King Supreme KING of Kings Christ Jesus, for  A Conquering Faith.

This was during the time of a tremendous growth in the Church, that is Christ Jesus.

Romans 12:10. "Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;"

Note: can any be against this attitude? Would the world, not be a better place if all chose this idea?

Colossians 1:23. "If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;"

Note: please notice the faith grounded and settled in the hope of the Gospel. God's Word, and not those of men.Man can't save self nor others, agree?

Acts 5:14. "And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)"

Note: God's truth acts as a magnet, drawing all those who want to know the truth, of who they are, and why and how,they are here, and where they are going.

Acts 5:29. "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men."

Note is this not counter, to ALL who teach that human tradition is above the Word of God? So who think YOU is the greater power? Can man create Worlds?

THE RED HORSE.  100AD TO  323 AD.

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."

Note: this was Pagan Rome as a great Persecuting power. TERTULLIAN  a Roman historian wrote that during this time the "Blood of the Martyrs is seed of the Gospels" Because the dying sang songs of praise to God while actually dying, showing no fear. Obviously not even pain as its very hard to sing while one is screaming in pain agree? Only a Living God is able to do this for His own! What's a few minutes of pain when put up against a forever joy?

Acts 8:3. "As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison."

Note: Saul here is to be a little latter called Paul, who became one of the great Gospel workers ever, after his conversion.This was also the time of the Christians being fed to the wild animals, and for Nero, to cover them in pitch and use then as human candles by setting them on fire!

Note: This persecution was aimed, primarily at Jews, but the fact that both gave God worship on the Sabbath, both Jews and Christian alike, were butchered.Perhaps this was another reason why so many Christ Men and Women so easily accepted the day of the Sun as their day for worship. It was an easier road to travel, but did Christ take the easy way out?   NO! THANK GOD, AND CHRIST He did not! Or Salvation would not be possible.

THE BLACK HORSE      323- 1526 A.D. No truth, no Light.

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."

Note: Black/ dark darkness was over W. Europe, due to lack of God's Truth. Not only were all books hand written, and hand bound, one book at a time, they were very expensive and even more rare. In fact most Bibles were banded with iron and chained and locked inside the Church's offices, away from Public view, and were all in Latin, that only a few could read or speak.

Acts 20:28-29. "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock."

Note: can we use the "Grievous wolves" as symbolic of the Dark Ages of Europe, in matter of religion? With Rome' s ideas of "Believe as I say or die!"

Daniel 8:12. "And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered."

Note; during this time frame, we saw the world's greatest monuments to human religion, in form of magnificent Cathedrals, right? Not to mention all the gold ornaments, and the bejeweled robes and other stuff used in ceremony, that exalted man's ideals.
   YET , Christ did not even have a place to lay His head, and call it His home, right? 
NOTE:  It was during this time that men introduced the idea that the Church, this one, was the source of and for Salvation, and NOT CHRIST!  That's per Catechism of the Catholic Church [C.C.C. p. 2066

In the Catholic Encyclopedia Vol.4.p 153 you'll find their account for the Lord's Day to be on Sunday the first day of the week rather than the Bible's 7th day of the week! Yet that's NOT ALL!


Exodus 20:4-5. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;"

Note: Even see ANY of their Churches, without any statues of any kind? What do people do in front of these statues? Now read again the above verses.{Take note of "..them that hate me.."

Daniel 7:25. "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time"

Note: go to almost any Catholic web site and in the search bar type "Apostolic Creed" and then find Book 7 Section 2: "Sabbath Memorial" and then compare that to these two:......

.Exodus 20:11. "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it"

 Genesis 2:1-3. "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."

THE BLACK HORSE   1526-1798 AD  Truth began to glow brighter and brighter begin Reformation.

Revelation 6:7-8. "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"

Note: the DEATH horse, as many of God's faithful we murdered, due to the believe as I say or die laws from the Religious-political power all in one man, the Pope!

Note: history proves, and is still very visible today, whenever the Church and State becomes as one, Persecution always results! We see this in many Islamic nations today, where a woman rights are not much better than an animal' s rights!

Proverbs 4:18. "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect
day."

Note: Justification, is a process, for most, but if God wills, it can be instant perfection.God raised up the Reformation' s workers, to bring light into a dark world, that had not God' s Truth.

Jude 1:3. "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints"

Note of many of the saints, were those known as the Waldenses, who refused Rome's brand of worship, then in July 6 of 1415, Rome's allies found over 1,000 men, women and children, in a cave in the Alps, and piled up huge wood pile, burning and the smoke suffocated all inside the cave! Sadly this was but a prelude of worse yet to come.

Note 2: do YOU reader, know the reason why Friday the 13th is taken as bad luck day? Ever hear of the Bartholomew Massacre? In France, they rounded up so 50,000 Huguenots, who as the Waldenses, believed in the Bible, were murdered in mass on that day! By the sword, blood ran in the street that day!

Romans 8:1. "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

Ephesians 2:8. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"

Note: both these two verses are but an anathema to this Little horn Power of Rome.

John 16:12. "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now."

Note: we humans can not absorb all there is to know about the Father God, until our change.

Matthew 28:19-20. "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

Note: here you see one of my reasons for this work.

Revelation 12:17. "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ"

Note: here's another reason, I try to inform YOU, of God's Truth, and why most of this is from His Word, and not mine nor another' s!

If this peaked your interest, find the nearest Seventh day Adventist Church and go and see at 9A.M any Saturday, and receive a welcome! From becoming an Organized Church in 1858, to world-wide membership of 18 [11/2012]+ million to date.
