Red Horse Of The Apocalypse
In the last presentation we all learn that the first of the four horsemen of Revelation 6 in a white horse represents a massive Satan-inspired spiritual deception by false prophets and tainted biblical teachings by these false religious teachers. Today we are going to share with you the meaning of the red horse of the apocalypse. This is once again a very important topic that you don’t really want to miss out on because it will greatly affect your life, and our lives, in the last days, or end-times. The ride of the second of the four horsemen unleashes the malignant forces of evil and removes the last vestiges of peace from the earth. Notice what the apostle John saw with the breaking of the second seal: “When He (Yahshua the Messiah) opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see. Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword” (Revelation 6:3-4). And as always, we ask the Holy Spirit of Yahweh for guidance and holy wisdom in teaching you this very vital subject matter. May you hear this who have ears to hear and may you see this who have eyes to see! Let Yahweh’s truth set you free.
At the end of the age, war will bring all the nations to the point where a system will be created with the capability of bringing peace to the earth. Revelation 13 in the Bible describes this system rising up out of the sea and calls it “the beast.” By a series of apparent miracles, a world in crisis is persuaded to accept this system. Nations surrender their sovereignty and the world worships this “beast,” asking, “Who is able to make war with the beast?” (Revelation 13:4). To enforce this type of “peace,” this evil system has authority “over every tribe, tongue and nation”—a worldwide power (Revelation 13:7). But in enforcing its rule it makes war on the true servants of Yahweh, who recognize the true nature of this power and system as satanic. Revelation 17 describes this “beast” receiving power from 10 “kings”—leaders of nations or groups of nations allied together to support this system and its human leader. The intended goal of this system will be masked to bring order, peace and prosperity among the warring factions of humanity. The Bible shows it will bring a temporary peace to the world that time. Yet the system of “peace” that is brought by this “beast” will tear and destroy any opposition to its rule and authority, and ultimately leads to war against Almighty Yahweh. This system and its leader will make war with the Lamb (Yahshua the Messiah) but in the end will be overcome by Him.
Furthermore, the Savior of mankind Yahshua Himself spoke of this coming time as well. He said: “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened” (Matthew 24:21-22). Yes, a war to end all wars is coming! That age-ending period will be so bloody, so dangerous and deadly, that Yahshua Messiah warned us that “if that time of troubles were not cut short, no living thing could survive, but for the sake of Yahweh’s chosen people it will be cut short! The coming final war of this age will serve to truly humble mankind! The description of that time of world conflict begins in Revelation 8 with the opening of the seventh seal, containing seven trumpet plagues of unimaginable destruction to come on the earth! The next chapter of Revelation describes what happens when the sixth trumpet sounds: “Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before Yahweh, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates. So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind! Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million” (Revelation 9:13-16). This 200-million-person army is so fearsome to contemplate. Verse 18 of Revelation 9 tells us that a third of mankind (more than 2 billion lives at our planet’s current population level) will be killed in this coming age-ending wave of utter warfare annihilation!
So what can we expect to observe as this red horse of the apocalypse rides accross the landscape in the last days? The coming final war of this age will serve to humble mankind to the point that people finally will obey the true and living Elohim of the Bible and become willing to live the way that will produce peace. One unmistakable message of the book of Revelation is Yahweh’s control of seemingly uncontrollable events. The great fear and threat is that nuclear weapons, or other weapons of mass destruction, would fall into the wrong hands of people and be used by nations against other nations. Truth is, the end of the Cold War did not bring us any closer to the end of possible nuclear war. The grim reality is that it simply shifted the power into the hands of more players who view themselves as having nothing to lose by unleashing such weapons against nations for hideous, evil intents, or purposes. The only hope of human survival is the reality of Yahshua Messiah’s intervention to prevent the total destruction of the earth and its inhabitants. Yes, Yahshua is in charge, and He will bring this coming final war and destruction to a conclusion that will at long last result in peace for all peoples. But genuine peace will not come without a terrible cost in human suffering! The Savior of mankind Yahshua will wage this coming final battle in righteousness because He alone holds the keys to death and the grave (Revelation 1:18). His victory against devil Satan and his demon cohorts is decisive and final. Yahshua is “called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war” (Revelation 19:11).
In closing, elusive peace, when left to human beings, has little chance of permanence. The rise of this coming end-time Babylonian system will be a major factor in a time of world calamity unlike any experienced in history. The prophet Daniel was also told that this period will be “a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then” (Daniel 12:1). The Bible reveals that the real source of hostility against love and truth within humans is Satan the devil. The apostle Paul describes Satan as controlling the “power of the air,” swaying people to disobedience without their conscious awareness. Sadly, until man’s nature undergoes a fundamental change, he follows after the natural “lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind.” He is child “of wrath” caught up with the rest of humanity in a spirit of conflict (Ephesians 2:2-3). The apostle James wrote quite pointedly on this subject: “Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war” (James 4:1-2). Relations among nations are increasingly going to be bitterly sour in the last days as they are guided by self-interest. When nations’ interests are jeopardized, the natural instinct for self-preservation takes over. War is often the result. Remember the Bible is all about truth and accuracy. Therefore, it is not a question of “if,” but rather, it is a question of “when” this mother of all wars is going to happen in the future. Are you prepared? We hope that this humble website spiritually prepares you in the end-time. May our heavenly Father Yahweh bless you for reading and also sharing this true and faithful message to others. All this things we ask and pray in the saving name of our Master and coming King Yahshua the Messiah, Amen. Halleluyah, Shalom!
