(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."
AMEN †
