Revelation 6; Verses 3-4; Mark 13:7-8; The Second Seal

(Revelation 6:3-4) "And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

***we are instructed to open our eyes and understand***


(Come and see. Nothing hidden the ongoing theme as have seen now for 2 whole chapters now basically. Hidden as satan and the false preachers working for him. Think not? Do they openly answer these questions? The book of Revelation? Therefore, the proof is in the pudding).


4And 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."


This sword is physical and not spiritual as we will see more here. The sword always represents going to war/battle. Hence to conquer in seal 1, by force here. Of course, Christ was adamantly against that the kingdom of Heaven would come by war. In other words, man's fallacy that war can bring peace. Though we have seen the cycle through HIStory repeat itself over and over, until now.


(Red always represents communism to one "worldism" in God's Word (we need to note we're in the political beast here, man removing freedom of both--religion and politics. We see this even through man trying to take God's free will away).

First we should be looking at that RED nation, Russia (Esau). Then we should fix our eyes on the byproduct of that RED nation (Russia), which is communism (marxism, socialism and every there type of ism that takes away from the worship of Almighty God). Esau, that Red nation by the use of communism seeks to remove Christ and the living God from the earth to the strong influence they have through the rest of the world with communism on the rise inherently though the attempted removal of God.


(Red always symbolic for blood whether either be the blood of Christ, or spiritual blood on the hands from the works of satan as well (such as Revelation 17 the scarlet shade blood on high rolling/high riding heifer, the babylon whore (as she has wed the king of babylon as she is the queen). Remember seal one along with Mark 13:5-6 in the prior study).


This peace taking away is the nations at war with each other as we see chaos on the earth. Strange alignments for power grabs (for there common cause at the moment), double/triple dealings in the dark, etc. satan at the 6th seal, and per Mark 13:14 comes in peacefully and prosperously after the healing of the deadly wound (more on that to come). So easy to see in that respect how the world accepts satan claiming to be Christ/God. In the next 2 seals we will see the other reasons.


Now to seal 2 in Mark 13:7. As this is sign 2 of the end-times, as we continue on here we will cover every signal sign in complete concordance with Mark 13.


(Mark 13:7) "And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars (certainly nuclear threats), be ye not troubled (no sweat we got this): for such things must needs be (got to happen); but the end shall not be yet.


(Don't be troubled as Christ is talking to His true people, not such as them false preachers in the previous verse. The end is not yet as we have a whole chapter to go through to the time satan comes to claim to be Christ/God. Then Christ coming at that last trumpet, the 7th trumpet. No pre trib rapture/rapture, OBVIOUSLY).


Part of verse 8 as well. The next seal will deal the other part of verse 8.


8"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom."


The next seals we will see more of the resulting conditions of satan sent to conquer and through the false preachers. Pretty simple, God and His Word should bring true blessings to earth. Not their lies, hidden agendas, not teaching anything, you can forget about openly. If their doors are not opened to teach, preach, answer questions who sent them?


***The second seal (Mark 13) is the same as the second seal referenced in Revelation.  What is worth noting that this is a war that will span the entire earth and is not a physical war as in WW III (things will get testy, Christ said be not troubled).  This is a spiritual battle, and all Christians need to go into combat with the Gospel Armour/Armour of God. Everyone is in a spiritual war whether they know it or not, and the first seal brought these conditions.*** 

AMEN.

Revelation 6; Verses 1-2; Chapter 19; Mark 13; The First Seal

(Revelation 6:1-2) "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.


(Picking up in Revelation 6 now. Seal # 1. We last left off with no one able to open the seals and continue on in Revelation until and with all things pointing to Jesus Christ for overcoming. Therefore, we must look deep and consider what He did in giving us the power and victory over satan to overcome. With Him showing us the way and how to get it done. Hence key here continuing on, "the Lamb." Therefore, what is key is our sacrifice for sin (without spot or blemish). We will sin in the polar opposite this being less and less taught from the very foundation).


Noise of thunder = When you hear thunder out of nowhere you straighten up your spine. Paying close attention now bringing instant heightened awareness. Hence now the eyes, "come and see." The four beasts as we found is translated correctly "four living ones." As they oppose satan's kingdom on earth in the number. 4 always symbolic for each direction and what is inclusive inside. As we continue on in Revelation learning the symbols and there characteristics in what God wants us to learn. Through the weather, animals, geography, landscape, His creation to make it simple. Not those who miss the boat and take His creation for granted. Why His Word is simple.


God is really making the point as He did in the last chapter that nothing is hidden with Him. Though He is Spirit. satan and his that is exactly how they operate, in darkness. Not in the open. This can be seen in the very fact in not teaching this from those who call themselves, Pastors, teachers, preachers, anyone claims to speak in God's name with Revelation, without knowing the book of Revelation in their pride of presumptuous arrogance. They have a truth do they not? But always have a hard time explaining it for some reason.


Hence let's look where Christ taught the first seal in the great chapter of Mark 13 (Matthew 24 as well), and so on (which we deal each seal in study to the utmost specifics).


Christ' very first warning to the disciples questions the signs of His coming. And we get the double back-to-back warning. That is how much Christ wants you to know, protect, being sealed. Nothing hidden here. Overall, satan sends his false preachers through the influence here. Which brings us to the conditions where he comes in peacefully and prosperously with world peace. As you see he comes in with the opposite to "relieve" seemingly the world's problems/chaos claiming to be Christ/God.


(Mark 13:5-6) "And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:


(This covers all mankind. Pay special attention. They are coming with ulterior hidden motives; What about any man who says you don't need to learn the book of Revelation? You don't need to learn part of God's Word? Seriously? Some other man has won your mind)?

6For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."


(Many. Christ here = Claiming to be Christ-man/Christ-like. Now consider this prophecy right off the bat. In that the Gospel here had been preached only select areas of Judea basically. NO ONE was a Christian yet, nor claiming to be a Christian, basically).


2And 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."


Huge false teaching would be saying this is Jesus Christ here.

One must be careful here as well. satan does throw arrows/javelins. Which could give the implication this is a bow and arrow as we know it. Not the case. Let's see...


Remember, for every positive there is a negative. satan white horse negative here. Christ white horse (Faithful and true should stick out, with His blood. Which satan of course, will cut off the sacrifice, the blood of Christ/communion) in the positive when He comes back Revelation 19. At/in that 7th seal, 7th trumpet, 7th vial. As we will see coming satan claims to be Christ/God in/at the 6th seal, 6th trumpet, 6th vial. Hence, 666. In the coming studies we will also point the direct polar opposites in the horses and horseman. Remember that crown Christ has in Revelation 19 in huge point.


(Bow from the Greek means cheap imitation based in material fabric. Huge point here is everyone wants the real deal, and also would like to get that cheaper. That of course is human nature).

Just as Christ come to make fishers of men through discipleship, make disciples of all nations (ethnos). Everyone does not like to be deceived about their nutrients getting real fish. Therefore, in the ransom and blood paid for by Christ for our sins we get the real thing. Relationship with our Father through Christ. As Christianity is not religion, but real, relationship, reality.


Christ never comes to conquer. Then bring the resulting condition we see in the seals to come.


Let's finish this study off with a couple direct polar opposites. Please watch the next study tomorrow.


(Revelation 19:12-13) "His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.


13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God."


(Revelation 19:16) "And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

Revelation 13; Verse 1; Political Beast Begins to Rise

Revelation 13; Verse 1; Political Beast Begins to Rise

The political beast rising which turns into the religious beast/new world order right at Revelation 13:11, when satan claims to be Christ/God at the direct moment in time in HIStory.

Thank you for taking a look †

(Revelation 13:1) 1And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

(The apostle John standing on the shore of the sea (This would also be a show of protecting those through Abraham, the promise, heirs through Christ walking in The Holy Spirit, as the beasts in verse 3 are devouring flesh, live by the flesh, die by the flesh). Getting this birds eye view of the rising of this political beast. The sea = always means the people in Revelation. It rises from among them--the beast within. Because this is what they asked for. Political correctness and politics being the answer, and the attempted removal of the Father through Christ is the game--blasphemy. In short, the world wants political freedom being entitled and nothing with our Father through Christ.This beast is rising from among them and over their heads. As the beast within comes to the surface individually and out to the world. The polar opposite would be of course true Christians are the lamps/lights individually within the candlesticks. Keep those lamps lighted).

What city are they headed to? Babylon (the sea, waters) which covers the whole earth above their heads. This is why as Christians we are to (the positive).

(Matthew 5:14-15) "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

(The only bright side is Christ and His people in this World of darkness. True Christians cannot be hidden. You will know it, they should stand out--standing tall as they will when Christ comes back as well. Remember as well, Babylon thinks she is hiding. God is not watching, she sits as a queen in her own mind. Got all her worldly wants and desires through the lust of the flesh).

15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house."

(Hiding the light "playing church", that would be a pretty selfish thing to do. Kind of like having someone in your house reading the Bible under a lamp, but telling them to go sit in that dark basement alone like sentencing them to darkness for life! No one does that, so why with the Gospel that gives eternal life? There is no such thing as a "closet Christian." No we want to be at the place when darkness flees from us. The darkness cannot comprehend the light).

Kind of like having two pairs of night vision goggles in pitch black darkness (the World), and not sharing. We would not go into physical battle with them not sharing and equipped setting them up for failure and impending death.

With that being said, moving onto Revelation 13:1 now,

(Revelation 13:1) 1And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

(The 7 heads are of course 7 continents/dominions).

The 10 horns with 10 crowns are 10 kings = 10 governmental unions trying to put this new world order/one world system together, man cannot do it without satan, you will see that in verse 11 and beyond. Horns always represent power whether in the negative sense from satan or in the good sense from God (such as before the first trumpet which is why the prayers are being offered). Now remember there are two sets of horns here, as in Daniel 7. These here represent the governmental powers. The 4 horns (in Daniel 7 and Zechariah 1:18-21) represent each direction of the Earth for starters, as 4 always does in Scripture. The horns of the gentiles, what runs the World. Politics, education, financial/banking, and religion. satan comes up with two horns for one reason alone: man will have put politics and education together in the one world system, satan brings in financial by the one world currency. Religion by claiming to be Christ/God.

The next study, the multi-headed beasts and their characteristics showing us in depth what is going on, and why the control even more.

(Revelation 17:12-13)

12And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

This tells you the ten horns and that they are kings taking over that kingdom (the world) here. Revelation 17 does the interpreting because it is an overview and outline of HIStory. From when? the first beast Babylon when the gentiles began to control Jerusalem. That is of course Babylon. (Zechariah 1:18-21; Luke 21:24). And the last beast of course Babylon. Babylon from the root word Babel as in the tower of Babel meaning confusion. The last attempted building of the one world system (Genesis 11).

Furthermore,

(They still have not received the kingdom of the world yet for the hour of temptation. Why? Because it rises when satan claims to be Christ/God in Revelation 13:11, the last beast, that is the exact moment the great tribulation begins. So when studying the other angles such Matthew 24. Mark 13, and Luke 21 come from that direct moment in time to get the full picture how it is before and after satan claims to be Christ/God).

13These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

(One mind with satan. The ten kings that replace the Earthly kings will be fallen angels in the flesh appointed by satan. He runs it, he's the commie leader in the political sense but have gone religion now. And of course they all have the same purpose. To get one to bow to satan claiming to be Christ/God. Why the power to the beast? Because it is what satan offers that gets them to bow to him. All the things of the world, the beast within).

Where do I see this transfer in Revelation 13?

(Revelation 13:11-12) "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

(Here it is. Two horns explained above. Like a lamb = claiming to be Christ/God, the lamb of God. Spake as a dragon = satan as he is the dragon of course).

12He exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

(You see satan transfers the focus on what he can give, then the lying miracles and wonders come in the next few verses for sign-seekers. This must be Christ/God they say).

We will leave it there†

Amen †
