...The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.” (I
Corinthians 10:26) The saints of God are soon going to inherit
this earth and rule it with a rod of iron. Remember, the second
stanza of their song in chapter five. “And hast made us unto our
God kings and priests: and we shall reign (rule - Be in total
authority.) on the earth.” (Revelation 5:10) Satan has been the
god of this world for six thousand years and has consistently
turned the fruitful valleys into deserts and wildernesses.
Wherever Satan has authority and dark evil deeds have been
allowed, the entire culture slowly turns into a cesspool. “The
wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that
forget God.” (Psalm 9:17) We see it occurring right now all
across our nation and in most of the world. Homosexuality and
lesbianism is being ballyhooed by the media and the
entertainment industry even as the church world is like “...
dumb dogs, they cannot bark...” (Isaiah 56:10) But, it is almost
over for the devil and his crowd.
Revelation chapter six is the prophetic picture of the beginning
of the end for the evil reign of Satan and his horde of spirits
and evil mankind. It’s incredibly sad that most of the world had
rather serve the world’s god than the Creator God. The whole
world system is quickly becoming evil to the core and set
against everything that centers in Jesus Christ. The term “god”
is becoming a world phenomenon, while the name “Jesus” is
utterly rejected and squashed. Most of the church world is
adopting the new theology of the One World Church, which is
being called “sinner-sensitive” programs. They believe that if
you commit not to unsettle the sinner, then they will be
delighted to become Christians. It’s the new easy way to hell;
and it’s exactly what Jesus said would reign in the last days
before He returns to evict the devil from his stolen post as
“god of this world.”
It’s almost impossible to believe that the church world could be
so theologically dumb and ignorant of truth. The Book of
Revelation has been rejected as to its prophetic values and its
chronological picture of the end. You cannot read this book
literally and take it literally as our Lord Jesus Christ
intended without being overwhelmed with its perfect beauty of
what is about to occur. Every evil act and every lifestyle
contrary to the Holy Bible is about to be judged by the exact
standard of holy truth. Every religious person that refuses to
life a godly set-apart life according to the whole Word of God
will be brokenhearted at the revelation of the coming judgment
of the church. The Scripture declares that “... judgment must
begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what
shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” (I
Peter 4:17) The compromise of Bible Holiness is the greatest
tragedy ever to occur in the House of God. It will damn an
overwhelming multitude of church souls.
The devil is truly on his last rampage. Once the great
celebration of Revelation chapter five is finished, it will be
time to begin the opening of the seven-sealed book. This book
contains the title deed of this earth and the process of its
redemption out of the hands of the interloper named Lucifer.
Satan’s six thousand year reign of terror is about to end and he
will be evicted from his falsely acquired kingdom. The process
of this eviction is extremely thorough and nothing of his evil
designs and deceptions will remain. As Daniel prophesied, “And
in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a
kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall
not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and
consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.”
(Daniel 2:44) The Son of God, seen as a lamb slain, has earned
the perfect judicial right to direct the process and His elders,
the glorified Raptured saints, will share the glory of His
victory. Let’s begin our verse-by-verse review of Revelation
chapter six.
“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. 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.” Revelation
6:1-2
The champion of this grand finale is the Lamb of God. His death
was more than a sacrifice to cleanse our personal sins; it was
the complete sacrifice to redeem this cosmos and to evict the
devil out of God’s total kingdom. It was the end of the devil.
Satan has been on a leash since that very moment and His saints
have been gathering evidence to put him away forever. Now, the
process begins. Jesus opens the first seal and we hear a “noise
of thunder” as one of the cherubims/beasts says, “Come and see.”
These four cherubims, called beasts in our King James Bible,
have been evident in Scripture all the way back to Genesis
chapter three. They are God’s keepers of holiness in the earth,
so any activity of God’s righteousness relating to this earth
must include their activity. These cherubims will be manifest on
this earth during the entire process of evicting Lucifer and
cleansing this earth.
Immediately a “white horse” appears and begins his ride through
the earth. Throughout Scripture, “four horses” have been the
conveyors of judgment in this earth. They ride together when the
Creator God is sending forth His powers to recompense evil and
bring it to task. This horse has a “bow and a crown” and he goes
forth “conquering and to conquer.” Many see him as the
Antichrist, but I see him as representing the going forth of
righteousness to judge and to disquiet every work of evil. It
certainly can include the releasing of Antichrist activities
because the Lamb of God and His servants of cherubims and saints
or elders will orchestrate every detail of this seven-year
period, and Satan can do nothing except by God’s design and
plan.
“Conquering and to conquer” suggests that Satan’s reign of
terror is in the process of the end. God is doing the
conquering, not the devil. The going forth of judgment is a
judgment of wickedness and evil and the conquering of the dark
forces that represent Satan’s horde of evil powers and spirits.
These four horses are intimately connected and nothing can be
said of one without fitting the pattern of all four. They are
intimately connected and related to each other as a whole. It’s
all the mighty right hand of the Great Judge bringing redemption
from wickedness to this universe.
“And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second
beast say, Come and see. 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.” Revelation
6:3-4
Now, we hear the second cherubim crying out as thunder, “Come
and See.” There is something stupendous about their cry, “Come
and See.” It certainly suggests an effect in the earth that
demands attention. This is not entertainment; this is judgment.
The process shows that this period will escalate as it
continues. Hour-by-hour the earth will grow darker and the
judgment will increase as human pain and sorrow explodes. The
whole period of seven years will be a full and total judgment of
cleansing.
