Discuss Revelation 6 Page 9

When they said the mountain and rock fell and and hide their face what do they mean from the thron of God that was Jesus.

I would understand that the rider on the white horse would have had arrows with his bow. We need to remember that all this imagery was shown to John to depict certain events yet to happen, therefore it shouldn't be assumed that the bow & arrows carried, should be anything more than signifying the purpose of the rider's coming, i.e. to go forth to conquer. Just as in verse 5: the rider on the black horse had weighing scales with him. Again, the picture is given to show the Act of God upon the world in scarcity of food.

Question, did he that say on the white horse with a bow, did he had arrows or is it to be known that a bow come with arrows in order to conquer?

Genesis 24: Romance of Isaac and Rachel. How to find a mate Gods way.

Genesis 24:3 Abraham enlisted his eldest Servant (a type LIKENED to Gabriel, when he approached the Virgin Mary).

Abraham made the servant promise to bring Isaac a wife from his kindred. For us, that would mean: BRING A CHRISTIAN, not an unbeliever! Don't fall in love OUT of your faith and expect God to make it work for you. Marriage vows are sacred. Don't plan for a divorce.

The servant worships God 3 times, for giving him confirmations he has found the right mate for Isaac. (12,26,52) She was a Christian, a Virgin, love at first sight. Isaac loved her all the days of his life.

She was given gifts: not her doing all the giving. Propriety was observed.

Male or female, these same principals can be applied in a Christian dating situation. You'll be respected and right in the eyes of God.

Worldliness will turn the whole thing sideways. Don't go into it expecting to lead your mate to Jesus AFTER marriage. The door is wide open for Satan to enter in and make all those plans, implode.

How can two walk together unless they be in agreement? Dating a Carnal Christian is just as hazardous as dating an unbeliever.

Pray and ask God for confirmations (Not Signs). Satan is in charge of 'lying signs and wonders'.

So read Genesis 24. Remember how King David's life was complicated by taking another mans wife, getting her pregnant and the having her husband killed in battle.

If we include God in our search, there's no way it's going to fail. I love the way the servant prays details, from large to smallest. Happy camel watering.

God performed the 1st marriage on Adam and Eve. The two became ONE.

Eve was formed by Adams rib. Taken out of his side to be equal. Not from the head or feet: to be over or under the other.

Women's Lib was launched in the 60's. It has done more harm than good. It's 2020 and only now equal compensation for work...is being discussed. Millions of babies (future tax payers so you could draw social security) have been killed. The democrats have their eyes on it for their silly projects.

Society has made a mockery over something God meant to be a blessing: marriage between a man and a woman.

That is one reason Jesus will be returning very soon! All the signs are appearing. Matthew 24.

1 Timothy Chapter 4

1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3 FORBIDDING TO MARRY, [and commanding] to ABSTAIN from MEATS, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

4 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

Mishael

Maureen, we can only share our thoughts as to why God does things in a certain way - unless of course, He clearly tells us. We understand that on account of His Holy & Wise Being, & out of love, to have those that would belong to Him & worship Him & for us to enjoy God & His creation, He created a man (after His Own Image): Genesis 1:26. I don't ever think that a woman was ever an after-thought of God. God, as an Omniscient (all-knowing) God, already had His Plans 'set in stone'. Creation of a woman I believe was already in that Plan - after all, companionship, procreation, identification, etc. were all necessary for both man & woman. I always see the Genesis account of creation as both man & woman created in complete equality & perfection & necessary for each other for a perfect representation of the Divine on Earth. Of course, we know the story of man & woman's failure to remain holy by sinning against their Creator.

However, in God's wisdom, the order of creation also depicts the proper of order of human life on Earth. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:3: "I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." This is not in any way depicting an inferior position of a woman (or, indeed of Christ to the Father) but an ordered 'hierarchy' & for submission & resorting to each other. As Paul also said, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are ALL ONE in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:28. And this clearly shows that women are equal in every way before God & in Christ, but for the sake of position & functions on Earth, the submission of woman to man AND the unequivocal love the man has for his wife: Colossians 3:18, 19, "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them." should remain our united & joyful objective in marriage.

Acts 10:34

Ron, (regarding Revelation 6:12) the angel told John not to seal the book for the time is at hand. The sixth seal has already been opened. Revelation 1:1 The Revelation (revealing) of Jesus Christ. Revelation 1:3 .....for the time is at hand. Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; Joel 2 (prophecy of the day of the Lord) 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come. Matthew 27:45 (arrival of the day of the Lord) Now the sixth hour was there darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour (the moon became blood;Jesus died) 51 ....and the earth did quake,and the rocks rent; Revelation 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell upon the earth..... Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven (carnal minds) and cast them to the earth..... Ezekiel 5:2 Thou shall burn a third part (carnal minds) in the midst of the city......Zachariah 14:9 And I will bring a third part (carnal minds) through the fire, and will refine them (carnal minds) as silver is refine, and will try them (carnal minds) as gold is tried, they (spiritual minds; minds of Christ ; new heaven) shall call upon my name, and I will hear them; I will say, it is my people: and they shall say, the Lord is my God.

For your consideration:

The seven churches, seven seals and seven trumpets represent periods of time concerning the Christian church throughout history. Regarding the seven seals;

The first seal describes the spread of the gospel starting with the time of the apostles and the newly founded Christian church. Mentioned several times in the New Testament, during this time the gospel reached all of the then known world and it did so rapidly. A white horse would represent a pure gospel message.

The red horse (color of blood) of the second seal describes the consequences of rejecting the gospel beginning in the second century. As Christ is waging spiritual warfare through the preaching of the gospel, the forces of evil render strong resistance. Inevitably, persecution follows.

The scene of the third seal (black horse) points to the further consequences of rejecting the gospel, beginning in the fourth century, as the church gained political power. If the white horse represents the preaching of the gospel, the black horse denotes the absence of the gospel and the reliance on human traditions.

The fourth seal horse is pale. The rider's name is Death; meanwhile, Hades accompanies him. These two are allowed to destroy people by sword, hunger, death, and wild beasts over one fourth of the earth. This would correlate in time with the dark ages.

The scene of the fifth seal applies historically to the period leading up to, and following, the Reformation, during which millions were martyred because of their faithfulness.

The sixth seal predicted a 1. Great earthquake; 2. Events in the sun, moon and stars. The sun became black as sackcloth, the moon became like blood, and the stars fell to the earth as a fig tree drops its late figs. the Lisbon earthquake, in 1755; the dark day of May 19, 1780; and the spectacular meteor shower over the Atlantic Ocean, on November 13, 1833. The fulfillment of this prophecy, in Revelation 6:12-14 led to a series of revivals.

It is my opinion that the riders on the four horses of Revelation chapter 6 are angels or spirits that go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth, Zechariah chapter 6. Each rider has the power to orchestrate what happens on the earth according to God's will. It is my opinion the rider on the white horse will give power to a specific leader to wage war and conquer many nations. Is this the Antichrist? No one can really say without more scriptural evidence. The rider of the Red horse is given power to take peace from the earth. Men will kill one another. These two may indicate a world war. During and immediately after war comes famine. The black horse represents famine, starvation. A measure is the amount a man can eat in one day. A penny was translated from denarius which was a silver roman coin. When Jesus walked the earth, a denarius was a days wage. If you do the math, a family would have to choose between eating or paying their bills. A large family would starve either way. The rider on the pale horse is death. Notice it says they have power over a fourth of the earth to kill with sword, white and red horses, hunger, black horse, death, the pale horse, and with the beasts of the earth. There are four horses and four beast that that introduce them. The fifth seal shows under the alter the slain souls from the early church to 3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation. The six seal is the Second Coming of Jesus. See Matthew chapter 24:29, 30, 31... Cecil Gary

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

Mathew 24:37-46

I hope these are helpful

Somehow in the times that are happening around us, there will continue to be a way to love and encourage each other in our tribulations. When persecutions were taking place 450+ years ago, the brethren did not try to free the one being buried alive or torn asunder or burnt at the stake or have boiling oil poured upon their heads, instead they sang to them, they cheered them on in their patience and those that remained took upon them to take care of the affairs of the one's whose lives were being given up because of the faith.

Are we ready to suffer these present times and not lose our faith? Can we suffer in love for our neighbor, for the brethren? Are we being scattered?

Matthew 16:3 Jesus speaking:

And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can You Not Discern the signs of the times?

Comment: Maybe we think we are too modern to understand farm talk? We can quote the stock market, report the sports page, grumble over politics, corona virus statistics today, wondering if our school kids will be infected?

Without a healthy appetite for the Bible and it's Prophesy; we are CLUELESS about Signs of the Times we live in; NOW.

Our compassion for humanity is consumed upon our own concerns. The anger builds as we wonder why God doesn't ride in on a pure white horse and fix everything that is broken?

Does anyone remember what hourglasses look like? The sand barely moves in the beginning. In the 9th hour, still much sand nearer the bottom. At 11hrs30minutes the sand picks up speed! You watch the last grains fall through. Then someone reaches and turns it back over. Same process.

Someday a knock on your door and the Grim Reaper stands there: time is UP

Time is up. The signs in Matthew 24 appear in all kinds of newspapers: hurricanes, typhoons, floods, tornados, erupting volcanoes; a 5.6 earthquake in the New Madrid earthquake fault; merciless forest fires. And now, temperatures that surely will ruin this seasons crops and meat animals that have no food= means High Prices at the checkout.

This is America and "no one starved here!"

Really? Does anyone see the little house of cards we live in? Payday is coming, and his name is The Antichrist (means, against Christ)

If you think your kid may be taken over by something (drugs, alcohol, pot, thefts, growling satanic music, guns, sexual confusion or immorality, porn, violent video games they play for days).

What are they gonna do if Antichrist says your wireless will be restored after you take the Mark of the Beast?

Signs of the times...

John 4:35

Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

Perhaps there are many Christians that have other worldly plans and other worldly agendas for the four months to come, but why?

A U.N. Commission and extreme pro-abortion Member States are holding up vital Coronavirus aid funding needed to address an international pandemic-related food shortage because they are demanding abortion funding in the package.

They're using children's lives as collateral, letting them starve to death IF the plan doesn't include funds to kill unborn babies.

This is literally worshiping at the altar of abortion. It's truly diabolical.

We didn't let the Pelosi-led House of Representatives slip abortion funding into its Coronavirus (COVID-19) funding bills, and we won't let the U.N. fund abortions either. We're talking about millions of dollars in U.N. funding (which U.S. taxpayers contribute to) for abortion under the guise of addressing the Coronavirus.

We've sent letters to the U.N. Commission demanding it stop withholding Coronavirus food shortage aid simply because it doesn't contain funding for abortion. Now, in just days, we're submitting a new formal comment to the U.N.

Google ACLJ to sign the petition.

Mishael or Anyone - can you comment on revelation 6:2-8

I'm interested. Who?

Did anyone mentioned the fulfillment of the symbolic horsemen prophecies?

Briefly, revelation 6:2 is a symbolic leader of Israel who had gotten a crown (the Palestine's Lands) and is set on conquering the Palestine people

Revelation 6:4 is a symbolic Palestine leader who is going to get a huge support from the East to make War in Israel

Revelation 6:5 is a symbolic American leader who is controlling all the world economy and is also protecting the interest of the jews and christens in Israel

Revelation 6:8 is a symbolic christen leader in Israel who will be persecuted along with many christens.

Who was the first with this interpretation?

You are anti-Semitic.

Do not call Jesus Christ anti-Semitic !

Foreign is an adjective.

Familiar spirits are demons; they follow families. That's how card readers and psychics know so many details; then the person thinks that that is how to get information.

These things are an abomination and carry a death sentence for the psychics. Also for astrologers and those that publish horoscopes. It's in the Bible.

Are 'foreign' and 'familiar' spirits the same?

Does the Bible anywhere mention 'foreign spirts'?

John 1:4

"In him was life; and the life was the light of men."

Hi Bob...In reply to the jews being anti-christs. You cannot call the entire nation of Israel anti-christ. Listen to the following of Gods holy word1 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. 12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion[a] mean!

13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14 in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. 15 For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? 16 If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root[b] of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 Then you will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." 20 That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. 23 And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much will the natural branches, be grafted ....

These scriptures are enough to show you that heaven is above earth; in the north.

It would be helpful to google: "Third Heaven Bible" and see a teaching from a pastor.

People have actually tried to paint pictures of what they think the 3 heavens look like. Click on images. What you see, DO NOT believe literally, ok?

There are more. 3rd heaven scriptures. USE the sea arch Box to find them.

Mishael

Bob Hilt,

Do you believe that God will break all of the promises He has made to Israel, the "apple of His eye?" ( Zechariah 2:8).

Are you convinced that He will just forget His chosen people ( Deuteronomy 7:6, Isaiah 44:1, etc., etc., etc.)

God is the Judge ( Psalms 54:1).

You search the Scriptures to try to condemn God's chosen people and call Jews cursed.

The Olive tree that your are trying to be grafted into as the wild branch are these same cursed Jews? Look at Romans 11:16-22.

And what are you going to do with the words of Luke in Acts 28:26-29?

Are we not going to believe another promise of God just so you can condemn our brothers?

26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:

27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.

Will the Jews that love God not see and understand when the Messiah returns;

and "every knee" will bow? ( Romans 14:11, Philippians 2:11)

I did not know quoting Jesus is hating Jews, thanks for letting me know.

those over in the middle east would agree with you that Jesus is a jew hater and the most evil antisemite who

ever lived per their own Talmud writings. After all he called them hypocrites and serpents on many occasions for their

man made rules and misapplication of scripture. In Matthew 23 how many times did Jesus call the Pharisee Jews

hypocrites?

Heard a sermon about a 3rd Heaven. Do you have any other details about the three heavens?
