Revelation 6
We now come to the difficult reality of the total evil of the devil which is unfolding NOW – from the Event 201 in late 2019, or 102 years since the “Spanish Flu” which started in the USA! Daniel Alexander Cannon has some very interesting scenario’s on this his video is title “#operationradiation 2.0”[1] as does Amazing Polly who says Bill Gates Grandfather had a lot to do with the pandemic in 1917[2] as well as the John Hopkins Centre.

How important it is to keep reading Holy Scripture:
The Seals
1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!”
2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”
4 then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.
5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.
6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!”
8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained
10 They called out in a loud voice,” How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?”
11 Then each of them was given a white robe and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.
12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red,
13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.
14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
15 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
17 For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”
The overviews of Chapters 6-7, 8-11 and 12-14 seem sequential in time but are overlays in relation to trials and suffering of the saints in their lifetimes in history.
In John’s lifetime, as discussed, Rome and the Emperor are the focus. Domitian seems the treacherous tyrant, but I am reasoning that the Revelation may not be cAD95 but c67-70 where turmoil reigned.
In our lifetimes, and indeed those before us, and in the future – our children and grand-children, there will be times of suffering and tribulation. Wars and rumours of wars (Mark13) have and will happen. The destruction of battle will cover the sun.
John’s Reflection Concerning His Time and/or All Lifetimes
6:1 The First Seal
6:2-8 “White horse” – first of four evil riders
– a military – medical ruler(s) seeking to enslave other peoples.
Second seal – “fiery red” horse
– a military political ruler(s) whose rider takes peace from the earth.
Third seal – “black horse”
– whose rider holds scales and there is inflation, famine and disease. Everything is in chaos not knowing one day from the next what may happen or what is available to buy due to supply chain disruptions.
Fourth seal – “pale horse”
– a view of dead bodies – and the devil allowed to kill a mentioned quarter of the people on earth. In the last century we come close to this figure. I remember the “World at War” documentary.
We must remember God is in control. God allows the devil to give trials to His elect (Job 1:1-3; 7-12, 21-22). The evil is that the devil is full of hate – hates and destroys his own. The devil robs mankind of any love – he is a thief of emotions and love (John 10:10). God loves us (John 3:16).
In all wars there results hunger, disease, death, suffering followed by famine and plague.
6:9 The Fifth seal
Under the altar the souls of slain saints – martyred – waiting until other brothers to be killed was completed. At the time of Nero and Domitian disgusting, sickening treatment of Christians occurred – totally evil. (Tacitus – Annals XV, 44).
This has occurred all through our history and will until the Lord comes. From 1914 the evil actions of Germany WWI. From 1933 – 1945 the evil of Hitler to Christians. Similarly, USSR, North Korea, Muslim countries’ treatment of Christians. Today, where was USA’s President Obama in this? Did he favour Islam? Is he soft in this tyranny? Saints from all lifetimes until the rapture. “How long” before justice?
6:12 The Sixth Seal
A great earthquake. During Roman times there were large earthquakes. Pliny (Book VI, epistles 16:20) records the ash which caused darkness, blotting out the sun’s light, during the eruption of Vesuvius (AD79) burying Pompeii.
The Seventh Seal
Before the Seventh Seal is broken John has time out to describe the Lord’s care of those who experienced dreadful trials.
When you read in the next chapter the Declaration of Helsinki which is the statement of ethical principles for medical research that replaced the Nuremburg codes which were created after the medical atrocities of WWII, please consider and ask yourself are the political, media, medical Military Industry complex complying with the principles since the COVID war started?
