Exposing the Four Horsemen

“I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, “Come and see!” And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer. When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!” Another came out, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword. When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come and see!” And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand. I heard a voice in the middle of the four living creatures saying, “A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don’t damage the oil and the wine!” When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see!” And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him.” (Revelation‬ ‭6:1-8‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

In this world there are demons wreaking havoc, but the major calamities that affect the whole world are set in motion by the four horsemen that apostle John saw in his vision.

They are evil spirits that were released when Jesus unsealed the title deed to the earth, after His resurrection.

The one on the white horse causes religious deception. He appears like Jesus who will return on a white horse at His Second Coming. This horseman raises false Messiahs and an apostate church.

We see this horseman at work in the heretical sects that closely imitate Christianity but are actually leading multitudes to damnation.

Jesus warned of this horseman when He said that many would come in His name and pretend to be Him.

The one on the red horse ignites wars. In recent times we see tensions, fightings in the Middle East and the relationship between big world powers treading on thin ice.

Jesus warned of this horseman when He said there would be wars and rumors of wars, as well as nation rising against nation.

The one on the black horse causes famine and economic chaos. Economic hyperinflation, depressions and starvation are instigated by this horseman.

The prices for the wheat and barley in the passage are highly inflated, showing us that this horseman causes economic chaos.
When you see major stock market crashes or crises related to natural resources, this horseman’s surely got a hand in it.

Jesus warned of this when He said there would be famines.

Finally we have the one on the pale horse called Death. Death has the authority to kill in various ways, and the way I haven’t mentioned yet is natural disasters, plagues and pestilence, such as the bushfires in Australia, volcanic eruption in Philippines an the coronavirus that emerged from Wuhan in China.

Jesus warned of Death when He said plagues and earthquakes would happen.

“Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places. But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.” (Matthew‬ ‭24:4-8‬ ‭WEB‬)

These four horsemen work closely with Hades, who is the evil spirit who rules Hell. Their collective goal before the Tribulation is to cause destruction on earth and drag as many souls down to Hell as possible.

In these end times, those villains are rampaging more intensely than ever before.

The solution is in the passage above. The four living creatures before God’s throne invite us to “Come and see”.
When we see this truth in God’s word, the four horsemen and their nefarious activities can’t remain hidden.

When you know that these are some of the major culprits behind the world’s calamities, you will know what to pray against.

God never shows us something without inviting us to pray about it. Through prayer, we become fellow workers with Him, to make earth as it is in Heaven.

Let’s pray together: “In Jesus’ name and by His blood, we bind the four horsemen and declare them powerless to continue their evil activities. We loose God’s power to restore all the victims. Let life and life more abundantly be poured out upon this earth. When sin abounded through the four horsemen, we declare superabounding grace for a massive harvest of souls for God’s kingdom worldwide. We pray this together in Jesus’ name, Amen!”

The four living creatures have faces that correspond to the four aspects of Jesus revealed in the four gospels.

In my new book “Messiah’s Miracles—The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”, I expound on every one of Jesus’ 37 recorded miracles in the four gospels.

I believe that as you see Jesus working miracles in the four gospels, unveiling God’s heart of love, goodness and mercy towards man, you will also receive faith to see miracles in every area of your life!

False Theology Produces a Dead Assembly

““And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: “He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these things: “I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and keep the things that remain, which you were about to throw away, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you. Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.” ‭‭(Revelation‬ ‭3:1-6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Jesus is the one who knows all things through the Holy Spirit who can be everywhere at the same time.

Jesus also holds the seven stars (each star represents a local church) in His hands—He knows exactly who is a true believer and who isn’t.
He is keenly aware of everything that goes on in the local churches all over the world.

The Sardis assembly had a reputation among men for being alive—perhaps they started with very dynamic worship and eloquent preachers.
However, somewhere along the way, the enemy managed to pervert their theology such that their teachings were no longer true and as a result, no one was getting saved.

Perhaps they stopped preaching about Jesus and transitioned to a message about morality and good works.
Maybe they taught that salvation is a progressive journey through obedience to the Law and one day becoming ‘holy enough’ to attain it.
Whatever it is, it wasn’t the Gospel—that we are saved by faith alone, in Jesus alone.

The word translated as “church” comes from the Greek word ekklesia which means an assembly of people.
In this case, the assembly in Sardis were a bunch of spiritually-dead people who came together for lively, exciting gatherings that did not result in salvation.

Only born-again believers are clothed in the white garments of righteousness.
Few were actually saved in the Sardis assembly.
Most were still spiritually-dead, probably thinking that morality and good works were the path to salvation.

Heretical cults like Gnosticism around that time believed that there was no such thing as sin, and only ignorance of knowledge. False teachers that taught this were just putting stumbling blocks in the way to hinder ignorant ones from salvation.

“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” ‭‭(1 John‬ ‭5:4-5‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Dear brethren, many false religions have snuck in with the superficial appearance of Christianity, but are actually deceptions of the devil.
They have outward illusions of holiness and religiosity, but those who teach these are still dead in their sins.

“And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light. It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.” ‭‭(2 Corinthians‬ ‭11:14-15‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

At the end of the day, we are saved by faith in Jesus our Lord—the Son of God who became a Man to die as the perfect atoning sacrifice for all our sins.
He died, was buried and rose again on the third day and is now seated at the Father’s right hand, far above all principalities and powers.

Do you believe this and have you made Jesus your Lord?
If the answer is yes, your name is written in the Book of Life and will never be blotted out from it—you are eternally saved, lovingly protected in God’s mighty hands.

I hope you were blessed by the short message above. Have you read my book “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”? In it, you’ll receive revelations such as:

- What is the Book of Life and how predestination actually works (it doesn’t transgress our free will).
- What are eternal rewards and how do you maximize them for the best quality of life in eternity.
- The assuring and encouraging truth for believers about judgment before Jesus’ throne.
- Who is the coming Antichrist (letting Bible interpret the Bible) and how he will use the Mark of the Beast system to disqualify many from salvation during the Great Tribulation.

I believe the revelations within are very timely for the tail end of the end times that we are living in, and you will enjoy reading it over this Christmas season as we fix our eyes on Jesus again.
