Hi
Rev 5:3 But no one in Heaven or on Earth or beneath the Earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.
Rev 5:5 Do not weep the lion of the tribe of Judea the root of David has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.
Rev:5:6Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slain standing in the centre of the throne.
Rev:6:1 I watched as the Lamb open the first of the seven seals.
Do not believe the many varied Human Interpretations of Revelation it is Jesus alone who can explain the symbols of Revelation and the events of the future.
Does Jesus tell us of the events of the future else where in scripture? Yes he does in Matthew 24: he tells us what happens without symbols in very plain language.
Surly there can be only one future. Surly Jesus explanation of the future in Rev 6 is the same future in Matt 24.
So lets compare the two chapters.
Rev 6:1: And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2: And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
Jesus is depicted as coming on a white horse in Rev 19:11 however he has many crowns not one and he has a sword that comes out of his mouth not a bow in his hand. What does this Symbol mean? Is it the Catholic Church as the Catholics claim symbolizing Righteousness. Or is it one of the many other fancy Human explanations of this symbol. Let us not forget it is Jesus alone who reveals, Jesus alone who knows the future.
In Matthew 24 Jesus says the first thing that will take place after his death is False Christianity.
Matt 24:-4: And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Many people misunderstand what is being said here. Jesus is not saying that the many coming are claiming to be the savior. They are coming in Jesus name saying Jesus was the Messiah.
I think the white horse in the first seal represents the start of false Christianity and its spread. Now I understand this is not clearly stated. But lets continue I think you will see the Matt 24 explains the other five seals exactly and in the same order.
Rev 6:-3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4: And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
Peace is taken from the earth with the second seal. So what does Jesus say next in Matt 24:
6: And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7: For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
Once again me have a match
Third seal
Rev 6:-5 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. 6: And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a days wages, and three measures of barley for a days wages; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
So here we have Famine. And Jesus’ plain words in matt 24
:7………………and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8: All these are the beginning of sorrows. for my name's sake.
Once again we have an exact match. Now on to the fourth seal
7: And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8: And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hades 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.
Death as the fourth seal. This death is a result of the first three seals. Now we have EXACT matches for the 1st 2nd,3rd and 4th seal.
Notice how the death comes to some Christians in the fourth seal. How did Christians of the Roman persecutions die????? Where they killed with the wild beasts of the earth.
What does Jesus say in Matt 24:
9: Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations.
Christian persecution by the nations just because they are called Christians.
CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT JESUS ALONE EXPLAINS THE SEALS.
Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11: And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Here we see the souls of those killed in the Persecutions told to wait until more will be killed as they had been killed. They are the early rain and they are told to wait for the latter rain. But it is not just the Pagan persecutions look what Jesus says is next in Matt 24:
10: And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11: And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12: And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Jesus plainly tells us that at the time of the decay of Rome and the persecution by the Pagans, Christians will start to fight amongst themselves and will HATE one another and that the Love and Patience that Christians are known for will turn cold. Although Jesus does not give us a date we can look in history for the change in the church that Jesus describes. History shows that the 4th century CA 302 -395 these events begin to unfold in the Church. The various Latin and Greek factions using the Power of Imperial favour to instigate wars and persecutions against the others believers. The process started with Constantine 325AD and continued for almost 200yrs. With the two sides gaining and losing control over the doctrine taught with successive wars that left hundreds of thousands dead. The next verse again confirms that the saints lose their lives but gain eternal life.
Jesus continues on in Matt 24
13: But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14: And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
So Jesus as in the fifth seal Jesus gives the saints white robes they are saved.
Jesus finishes this part in Matt 24 by saying the end will not come until the Gospel of the Kingdom is preached unto every Nation and people.
Now the sixth seal.
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; 13: And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14: And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15: And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16: And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
And Matt 24 starts with the great Tribulation IE the latter rain
Matt 24:15 "So when you see the desolating sacrilege spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 21: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22: And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23: Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24: For there shall arise false Christ's, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; in so much that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25: Behold, I have told you before.
Then continues with
29: Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:30: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Once again we have an exact match.
As we can plainly see from this text that Jesus has now returned to Earth to set up his Kingdom. We are also told that the generation that see the great persecution will not pass away before Jesus returns in his Glory.
This is what Jesus tells us the future will be, it is sure and can be trusted. Unlike the interpretations of men the word of God is sound. We do not need to guess what or who the four horsemen men are, Jesus tell us in very plain language all the events leading up to his return. Many churches teach that all these events happened in the first century AD, when Rome destroyed Jerusalem. Other churches teach these events are all future.
Scripture has clearly shown us that this is not the truth. And that the words of God in Amos 3: are true. God has revealed all major events of history, into the future through Jesus' return, in advance as promised.
Rev 5:3 But no one in Heaven or on Earth or beneath the Earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.
Rev 5:5 Do not weep the lion of the tribe of Judea the root of David has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.
Rev:5:6Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slain standing in the centre of the throne.
Rev:6:1 I watched as the Lamb open the first of the seven seals.
