So
many people have become enamored by the
appearance of Ahmadinejad a known terrorist who
advocates the destruction of the world two
greatest societies of mankind, both who have
herald the purpose of God.
One through the faithful
keeping of the Old Testament of the Bible, and
the other are those who have kept the truths of
both Old and New Testament.
The first group targeted by
the extremist mass murderers of the world has
been the Jewish people for over four thousand
(4,000 years) and the second group attacked has
been the Christian believers, particularly those
who actually have read and can quote great
number of passages, from the bible, not nominal
or in the name of Jesus kind those who can’t
quote John 3:16.
Matthew 6:23
King James Bible
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall
be full of darkness. If therefore the light that
is in thee be darkness, how great is that
darkness!
It is not that Christian
and false believers both have not erred, it is
that one does not take well the gift of reproof
and correction from the word of God. Much is
devoted to this subject throughout the
centuries, by bible believers and readers. Those
who walk the talk!
Now back to those horses,
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
White Horse
The rider of the white horse is very commonly
and erroneously interpreted to be the
antichrist
figure, but such an interpretation ignores much
of the imagery presented throughout the
Revelation and many cross references of whom the
Bible names as being given a crown. For
instance, every other time the color
white is used in the Revelation, it is always
representative of righteousness and holiness,
and whenever the author, John, depicts a
malevolent force, he consistently shows it as
evil (the two beasts of chapter 13, or the
scarlet beast and the prostitute of chapter 17).
Because of this, there is no reason to interpret
the white horse as representing anything other
than something/someone that is righteous and
holy. Even the terminology “conquering and to
conquer” alludes to a righteous person, as the
Greek term used here is used throughout the New
Testament as a word meaning “to overcome” and
“to be victorious.” In the 23 other times it is
used in the New Testament (15 times in the
Revelation alone), 22 of those instances refer
to Christ or to His followers overcoming evil.
So, in this 24th instance of the word (one of 15
times in the Revelation), it should be taken to
mean the same thing: a righteous or holy force
who is able to overcome and gain victory. Also,
considering the rider is given a crown
(something only seen to be given to Jesus or the
24 elders -- Daniel 7:13, 14, 27; Luke 1:31-33;
Revelation 4:4, 10; 14:14), one would come to
the conclusion the rider of the white horse is
an individual. Pairing this vision of a rider of
a white horse with chapter 19's rider of a white
horse (seen to be Jesus), a sensible conclusion
would reveal the first of the four horsemen is
Jesus Himself.
Red
Horse
The rider of the second horse is generally held
to represent War. The red color of his horse
represents blood spilled on the battlefield. He
carries a great sword, which represents battle
and fighting.
Black Horse
The third horseman, riding the black horse, is
popularly called Famine or Pestilence. The black
color of the third horse could be a symbol of
famine. Its rider was holding a
scale,
which means scarcity of food, higher prices, and
famine, likely as a result of the wars from the
second horseman. Food will be scarce, but
luxuries such as wine and oil will still be
readily available. (Or that the rich will be
fine but the poor will suffer as wine and oil
represented the richer classes)
The "a measure of wheat for a penny" from the
King James
Version
might not sound like a famine to modern ears,
but in the
NIV
we read "a quart of wheat for a day's wages",
which is a little clearer.
Again, the poor or comfortable will suffer from
prices, while the rich will be fine.
Pale Horse
The fourth horseman (on the pale, or sickly
horse, which may be the source of the notion of
"pestilence" as a separate horseman) is
explicitly named
Death.
Although Death is popularly represented carrying
a
scythe,
this is not mentioned in the original text.
The Greek word interpreted here as "pale" is
elsewhere in the New Testament translated as
"green." The horse is sometimes translated as
"pale," "pale green," or "green." The pale
greenish color of the fourth horse could mean
fear, sickness, decay, and death.
Which
horse do you ride, maybe that’s why people bet
on the race with their very own lives.
Unfortunately many are the
numbers who have given themselves over in free
choice to the enemy.
