We are currently looking at the opening of the seals of the small scroll in an effort to find out what is their true meaning and purpose. And by so doing the removal of all the hype and speculation of man's imagination's of religious systems and fantasies.
Revelation 6:5-6, 7-8 "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. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, "A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine."
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." (KJV)
Revelation 6:5-6, 7-8 "When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!"
When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth." (ESV)
Revelation 6:5-6, 7-8 "When He opened the third seal the Living Being with the Human face said, "Proceed!" And this is what I saw, behold, this time it is a black horse and his rider held the beam of a scale of balances in his hand. (This, Addressing mankind's poverty stricken economy.) What I heard sounded like the four Living Beings were speaking with one voice saying, "one denarius [a day's wage] will buy a [1]measure of wheat or three measures of barley and [2]mo restrictions will be placed on wine and oil. (A measure, a choenix of corn for a man's daily supply. Barely was the food of the poor. No restrictions will be placed on wine and oil- μή ἔλαιονοἶνος! The word [2, G91 from G94 from G1 (as a negative particle) and G1349] adikea is from (G1) a, not and (G1349) dikay, two parties finding likeness in each other-the stem for righteousness, (G1343) dikaiosune - where dikay reminds us of the Greek goddess of Justice typically portrayed holding a scale of balances in her hand! In Lamb's death and resurrection, even the poorest of the poor must have equal access to bread and wine! In times of poverty the first things that cannot be afforded would be the luxury of wine and oil! And here, in the face of death, the eternal covenant is celebrated! The covenant currency is not affected by the economy of the world-system.)
And when the little Lamb opened the fourth seal I heard the fourth Living Being, the Eagle in full flight, announce, "Proceed!" (The Eagle reminds us of the resurrection-the one who has fallen, exhausted, will entwine with the Lord and mount up with eagles wings, run and not be weary, walk and not faint! Of Isaiah 40:31.) I looked and saw a horse which appeared to have the color of tender green grass; its rider's name was Death and Hades was its close companion. And they were given the authority to destroy a quarter of the earth by sword, famine, disease, and wild beasts. (Addressing mankind's appointment with death and Hades. Four possible causes of death are mentioned, war, famine, disease or wild beasts. Each one of these could be responsible for one quarter of the world's population to die which suggests the death of the entire human race! Look at 2Corinthian 5:14 - "I am convinced, that if one has died for all-then all died!" Look at Hebrews 9:26-28, "But Jesus did not have to suffer again and again since the fall of the world; the single sacrifice of Himself in the fulfillment of history now reveals how he has brought sin to naught. [GOD'S Lamb took away the sins of the whole world!] The same goes for everyone: a person dies only once, and then faces judgment (Jesus Christ). Christ died once and faced the judgment of the entire human race! His second appearance [in His resurrection] has nothing to do with sin, but to reveal salvation for all to fully embrace Him.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now may both you and yours come face to face with the risen LORD of Lords. As the resurrection within our being and the incarnate in our inner man.
