For the record, Western Christians are seemingly the ones not doing much actively, but that is still hyperbole. Overall, many Christians are actively fighting enemies and going through hell to stand for their God. This war is spiritual even if physical stuff is happening. So, things have to be done differently - protesting and staging small scale wars are not the way to go - especially if you want to fight "the power."

"The Man, TPTB, The Hand, 'Illuminaughty,' They," or whoever you think influences the world for the worst are well prepared for "serf tactics". They are prepared for protest, civil unrest, and terrorism. The latter is never the way, yet people are doing it. To fight, you need truth. Notice billions of dollars and plenty of energy is spent protecting, exploiting and define the truth. Whistle blowers get hunted down and "suicided," but some guy can throw a shoe at the president of the United States and live to do media. Truth is a threat - they killed a Guy for telling the absolute Truth some time ago, and this Guy shattered an entire empire with Truth. The Christians around the world are doing a lot, as prophesied; they are being martyred as prisoners, by starvation and illness, by being put to death, and even by fire. The martyrs in China, for example, don't get much attention for dying for their faith, and huddling in horrible conditions just to avoid the authorities and have fellowship. The majority of Christians around the world take Him very seriously; they are willing to go all the way for Him. A lot is being done.

The US was founded by a group of men, not one guy.

The 4 horsemen are conquerors who establish a Christian superpower. George Washington qualifies, and rode a pale looking horse named Blueskin. Plus New York City, Philadelphia and Washington DC are pointed to by one of the vectors of the starguide of chapter 1 which forms 21 vectors that point to all the good things foretold. Who do think is dropping 100 pound "hailstones" on the 7th head of the beast?

Obama just authorised 1500 support troops which should make a difference and there are a very few Americans who have joined the Peshmerga directly in this fight. I suppose everyone needs to follow their own conscience on this. But a Christian with military training may well feel called to join up with the good guys over there.

Washington was known to favor two horses; one bluish-white, the other a sorrel/chestnut. The Greek term 'pale' is more of a 'sickly green' color. So no, Washington wasn't the fourth horseman of the apocalypse.

They are going as trainers, advisers, and Special Forces (such as Air Combat Controllers to direct bombing from the ground) not as combat maneuver units.

The Americans that have directly joined the Peshmerga are fighting and killing ISIS directly. But you are right that the US /UK strategy seems to be to promote the home side to defend itself and the military support is meant to cultivate that local potential not to send troops to fight alongside them.

Not sure what the letter to Iran from Obama has to do with all this as it will not be Iranian troops on the ground either. The Saudis and Turks are both lurking in the background also.

It's probably more to do with staying out of each other's way.

Lol. There is no such thing as a green horse. George Washington favored a pale looking horse named Blueskin. We are now dropping 100 pound "hailstones" on the 7th head of the beast.

Blueskin was white with bluish undertones, not pale. His favorite 'war' horse, "Nelson", was chestnut brown. Also 'dropping hailstones' on the enemy would be the province of the 'red horse' of warfare. The 'pale' horse of death represents the aftermath of war, famine, and pestilence.

Pale; Greek:

5514. Chloe khlo'-ay feminine of apparently a primary word; "green"; Chloe, a Christian female:--Chloe.
5515. chloros khlo-ros' from the same as 5514; greenish, i.e. verdant, dun-colored ('dun'-cream colored to pale yellow- most often describes the color of horses):--green, pale.
5521. chole khol-ay' feminine of an equivalent perhaps akin to the same as 5514 (from the greenish hue); "gall" or bile, i.e. (by analogy) poison or an anodyne (wormwood, poppy, etc.):--gall.

Yes it is a spiritual fight and one which the global church is actively engaged in. You are also right that those who speak the truth inside the Muslim world are often hunted down and killed for it. In the fight against a death cult like ISIS there has to be a military dimension since they rule by intimidation. People who become Christians or stand for the faith in this context end up dead. But Christians more broadly should be pressuring their governments to take action or to exert the pressure in the right places so that something is done

The second horseman conquered with a great sword and took peace from the earth, a reference to Roman Catholic kings and the Crusades.The 4th Christian superpower is clearly the US. Our weapons bring hell and death.

There's little doubt that the four horsemen represent the Holy Roman Empire. Charlemagne rode a white horse into war (the bow in his hand) and was crowned a king. The horsemen that followed depict the consequences that follow. America never made war under the banner of 'Christian' or the blessing of the Roman church. All the horsemen are related to the Holy Roman Empire.

My link (of which access is denied) shows Charlemagne astride a white horse with crown on his head. He was the first 'King' of the Holy Roman Empire....the image of the fourth beast. His zeal for the church and the Pope led him to convert, conquer, thousands on pain of death. That he rode a 'white' horse indicates the religious deception wrought by him and the Popes.

Yes. We are flying in airplanes shooting fire down onto the earth just as it says in Rev.13;

Therefore it says that all tribes of the earth shall mourn when the son of man come with power in the clouds of heaven.

All this I agree with and have found written within the Holy Bible. But tell me more about how the rider of the white horse is Constantine. He is conquering for Christianity is he. This is interesting. Are there more Bible verses clarifying this?

Thanks for repeating these claims until I finally am starting to see their significance!
