Revelations a Study. section 4. Written by Rev.Anthony Smith
Revelations a Study. section 4. In section 4, we will see a lot of symbolism. Section 4. Chapters 6:1 thru 7:1. The Lamb {Jesus Christ} opening seals, only 6 seals are opened in this section. The first seal. The White Horse. Rev 6:2 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.Rev. 6:2 is not speaking of Jesus but of antichristian elements. This is same as other three horsemen. If you noticed in Rev.6:2 we see a rider with a BOW. In scripture Jesus is never described as haveing a bow but only a sword. The second thing we see here is ”a crown was given unto him” this designates that rider before was never in power untill it was granted him. The second Seal. The Red Horse. Rev 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. This verse again does not speek of Jesus. This line speakes for itself as not being Jesus.“power was given to him“ Jesus is power and has no need to be given it. This next verse shows, war and hatred amoung mankind, word sword designates war. The ability to make war was given unto him.“to take peace from earth, that they should kill one another, was given unto him a great sword.” The third Seal.The Black Horse. Rev 6:5 And when he had opened third seal, I heard third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. [A measure: “The word choenix signifieth a measure containing one wine-quart and twelfth part of a quart.”] The Black Horseman is a prelude to pale horse. In verse 6:6 we see phrase,”hurt not oil and wine.” This is main stapel of Israel. “A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny” Food at this time will cost a days wages. The word Penny, designates wages. “wheat & barley” designates materials that are used in makeing bread but here they also designate food. The fourth Seal. The Pale Horse. The word “pale” signifies death. Rev 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over fourth part of earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with beasts of earth. Hab 2:5 Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:. Reference.Eze_5:15-17, Eze_14:13-21. In this phrase we see 2 spiritual beings. ”power was given unto them”

SALVATION, HOLINESS AND DELIVERANCE. Is Heaven our Destination or our Destiny? Luke 1:74 thru 79. That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all days of our life. And thou, child, shalt be called prophet of Highest: for thou shalt go before face of Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by remission of their sins, Through tender mercy of our God; whereby dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in shadow of death, to guide our feet into way of peace. The first question that we must ask is ,”What is SALVATION, HOLINESS AND DELIVERANCE ? Salvation; Preservation or deliverance from destruction, difficulty, or evil. Deliverance from power or penalty of sin; redemption. HOLINESS; an essential and distinguishing attribute of someone. The quality of being sacred. Deliverance; recovery or preservation from loss or danger. The act of delivering or condition of being delivered. Rescue from bondage or danger. A publicly expressed opinion or judgment, act of delivering from sin or saving from evil, act of regaining or saving someone lost (or in danger of becoming lost), rescuing from error and returning to a rightful course; "the reclamation of delinquent children. SALVATION, HOLINESS AND DELIVERANCE is many things in scripture. Jesus always talked about us as children of God. The Apostile Paul also stated that we are little children in need od these three things. To Jews first and then to gentiles. We must remember that anyone who is not born a Jew are automatically a gentile. That he [God] would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of hand of our enemies [The enemies that Jesus is speaking of are enemies of soul and spirit. The enemies of flesh are always going to be there.] might serve him without fear, [without fear knowing that we are saved by grace thru faith, knowing that once saved and delivered out of hands of our mortal enemies, no one can take us out of hand of liveing God.] In holiness and righteousness [not of our own holiness or righteousness but of those things that are of God.] before him, all days of our life. The life that Jesus speaks of here is eternal life with Him in Glory. #1.Salvation; Preservation or deliverance from destruction, difficulty, or evil. Deliverance from power or penalty of sin; redemption. Deliverance from destruction, 1Co 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for destruction of flesh, that spirit may be saved in day of Lord Jesus. Salvation comes from beliefe in word, which is delievered by ministers of God. Salvation comes by hearing of word. Many are hearing things that they do not understand and it becomes a stumbling block to unlearned. So when many cannot or will not understand word, they reject word with false doctrine. 2Co 10:8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed: We as ministers are not ashamed of authority that has been granted unto us by God to deliever truth of scripture. We do not use our authority to bring destruction upon any one, for that is not in our power. So then is our authority over you to good of your souls? Yes. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. No more sacrifices of bulls, goats nor doves will be accepted. Acts 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that salvation of God is sent unto Gentiles, and that they will hear it. All mankind will hear about salvation of God, but not all will believe. Rom 10:10 For with heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with mouth confession is made unto salvation. Salvation comes from Heart and from confession from mouth, as a witness of Grace and Holiness of God. 2Co 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but sorrow of world worketh death. Salvation takes a step of faith. A.Assurance from God on your salvation. 2Co 1:6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in enduring of same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. B.No fear. Phi 1:28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. C.Enlightnment. 2Pe 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also other scriptures, unto their own destruction. D.Enemies of Cross.Phi 3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of cross of Christ:
