7 church ages....
1. Ephesus - Apostolic - Scripture still before us!.
2. Smyrna - Martyr - 10 days = 10 general Roman persecutions.
3. Pergomos - Orthodox - Still alive in many parts of the world!
4. Thyatira - Catholic - Influence still large.
5. Sardis - Protestant - The influence of the Baptists is still great.
6. Philadelphia - Methodist / Pentecostal - Saved / Sanctified / Filled with the Holy Ghost!
***Is revival unique to the Philadelphian church age???*** Was this the revival of the last days?
7. Laodicea - Materialistic / Charistmatic / Educated - Influencing a lot of churches these days.
Four earthly regimes...
1. White Horseman - Democracy
2. Red Horseman - Communism (Note the communist flag - red with a sword)
3. Black Horseman - Islam
4. Pale Horseman - The AntiChrist
NOTE! There were seven generations that led to rapture of Enoch so there will be seven churches on up to the rapture. As we don't hear the word church anymore after the word to the Laodiceans we must assume that a rapture took place somewhere in that time frame. As there were four that followed Enoch so the four horseman will be on earth after the rapture.
Seven generation unfolding as seven ages...
1. Adam
2. Seth
3. Enos
4. Cainon
5. Mahalaleel (Praiser of God)
6. Jerod
7. Enoch (Raptured)
Four generations followed...
1. Methuselah
2. Lamech
3. Noah
4. Shem (he had the birthright)
The Black Horseman...
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. 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." - Rev 4:6
The Black Horseman....
Balances - This is the symbol of trade
Hurt not the oil - Oil will become a precious commodity
Hurt not the wine - We will not live as prosperously as before
Black Horseman - We now have a black president
