Red horse and its horseman
Understanding the book of revelation with Afolabi Dollars (7)
The red horse
“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 6:4)
The Fiery red horse and its RIDER/HORSEMAN is a product of the SECOND SEAL opened by THE LAMB, as the SECOND LIVING CREATURE calls John’s attention to it.
RED is a symbol of BLOOD; the horse here is not just red but a FIERY RED HORSE which symbolises DESTRUCTION/BLOODSHED.
The RIDER/HORSEMAN represents WAR. That’s why this RIDER or HORSEMAN has the capacity to take peace from the earth as seen in the above scripture. The RIDER carries a GREAT SWORD which blatantly represents SLAUGHTER/KILLINGS and VIOLENCE. These representations/meanings of this FIERY RED HORSE and its RIDER in the SECOND SEAL make sense and are very much in order, to have followed or come after the CONQUER-THIRSTY or conquest-driven WHITE HORSE and its RIDER in the FIRST SEAL, because CONQUESTS often lead to WARS throughout MANkind’s history.
What I’m trying to say is, since the WHITE HORSE and its RIDER in the FIRST SEAL represents the WORLD POWERS who are always CONQUER THIRSTY, what follows by default or as a result are WARS and KILLINGS at the expense of world peace, which is what the FIERY RED HORSE and its RIDER represents in the SECOND SEAL!
I need to quickly let us know that the first and second seal are not just being opened, they’ve been OPENED since, as a matter of fact, the first 4 SEALS especially are into themselves; they are so interrelated, intertwined or interconnected, but I’ll tell us the particular SEAL that is unto us in this generation when we get there.
Part of the agenda of the ANTICHRIST is to make men and systems to become CONQUER THIRSTY (White horse and it’s RIDER), and which makes them automatically become WAR THIRSTY and/or BLOOD THIRSTY(Red horse and its RIDER), so what follows this CONQUEST spirit of the ANTICHRIST is Sin/lawlessness, Divisions, Wars, conspiracy theories and rumours of wars from news and media houses, death, Havoc, Destruction, murders, assassinations, bloodsheds, revolutions, etc(Matt.24:6-7).
The GREAT SWORD in the hand of the RIDER/HORSEMAN of the fiery red horse inflames men’s hearts with hatred against themselves, and so much hatred in the world. Whites rises against the blacks and vice versa. Muslims rises against Christians. Brother rises up against brother. Children rise up against parents in disobedience due to the prevalence of lawlessness in the land. Tribes against tribes, ethnicity against ethnicity, gender against gender, political wars with decrees against decrees, policies against policies. Nation rises up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom in this TRIBULATIONS. This GREAT SWORD makes the world to reject the Prince of Peace, and as a result, there are unrestrained wars!
Brethren, we need to understand that many of these things have already happened and are still happening in the frequency of the CONTINUUM of fulfilments of biblical prophecies for human history. In order words, the LAMB’S OPENING of a particular SEAL doesn’t put an automatic end to a previously OPENED SEAL, so the activities of the second seal meet the activities of the first seal already on ground, and both coexist in operations, the third seal comes and joins the 2 previously opened seals, the 4th seal also, and it keeps rolling into themselves till it gets to the last seal which is the SEVENTH SEAL
Therefore, the REPRESENTATIONS of the FIERY RED HORSE and its RIDER/HORSEMAN of the SECOND SEAL, which are WAR, slaughter and BLOODSHED, people killing people, etc, is a TRIBULATION common throughout human history, even as other SEALS meet up with it, and shall be so for the entire gospel age until THE END comes.
For instance, the LAMB’S OPENING of the SECOND SEAL featuring The FIERY RED HORSE and its RIDER is the reason for wars like the 1st world war between 1914- 1918 fought by CONQUER THIRSTY world powers and there was a lot of BLOODSHED and killings as a result. The same applies to the 2nd World war between 1939-1944 also fought by CONQUESTS who became WAR THIRSTY and too many killings and bloodsheds of millions of people on Earth, peace was literally taken from the earth during war periods courtesy of the RIDER of the FIERY RED HORSE.
It’s no other thing than the CONQUER THIRSTY spirit of the “white horse and it’s rider” and the WAR THIRSTY spirit of the “fiery red horse and its rider” that makes WORLD POWERS in our own age/era to build and possess NUCLEAR WEAPONS, BIOLOGICAL and CHEMICAL WEAPONS of mass DESTRUCTIONS!
From my personal research, I found out that there have been over 150 wars of different sorts in the world, including the Golf war, civil wars, terrorists’ wars, ethnic wars, genocides, conflicts, etc, since the 2nd world war.
These wars take thousands of lives annually, and for us to know how strong the RIDER/HORSEMAN of the FIERY RED HORSE is, the budgetary spendings of nations of the world on wars, military expenditures and weapons and related researches are often more than ONE TRILLION USD ($1 trillion) a year!
Although many wars have ravaged MANkind’s history, none will quite wreak as much destruction as those that occur in the End Times.
The ANTICHRIST wages war physically, economically and spiritually, and succeeds in taking many lives both physically and in the spiritual sense!
In our next article, we check out the BLACK HORSE and its RIDER/HORSEMAN in the THIRD SEAL.
