Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

In 539 BC, having fasted and prayed for three weeks, Daniel was given a vision of the time of the end where many prophetic details were disclosed to him. Some scholars are convinced these prophecies all came to pass long, long ago. Others yet await their fulfillment. Significant to Daniel (and, hopefully, to you) were the words spoken to him regarding the interpretation of the vision:

Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.

Approximately six hundred years after Daniel's vision the apostle John recorded the words of the vision given to him:

And I saw in the right hand of him who sits upon the throne, a scroll inscribed from the inside and from the outside, and <sealed with seven seals.

The operative word regarding the interpretation of both men's visions is sealed. The prophetic words were sealed.

What is meant by sealed? The prophecies of both Daniel and John were not to be understood, yet. No amount of study, research, conference attendance, logic, reasoning, or wishful thinking would reveal their meaning. That which has been sealed must first be unsealed before it can be recognized, or understood. Daniel was specifically told that the words would be sealed until the time of the end.

Peter referenced John's freshly publicized vision, the revelation of Maryah Yeshua Meshika (our LORD Jesus Christ), as " ... a more sure word of prophecy ... " and said regarding it:

... pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.

The questions then become, "When is the time of the end? The end of what?"

Jesus had detailed several horrific events and ominous warnings to His disciples in Matthew chapter 24, concluding:

Amen, I say to you that this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.

Approximately thirty-seven years after His resurrection, His words were witnessed by His followers as the Romans besieged and decimated Jerusalem in the seven year war between 67 and 73 AD. Just as clearly as an end occurred for a tiny, tiny fraction of the population of the Earth who dwelled within a couple of hundred square miles of one another, leaving those who lived farther away completely unaffected, so too a time of the end would yet occur for the entirety of mankind who dwelled throughout the whole Earth - at the actual end of time.

Many have wished to foretell the future to satisfy their curiosity or abate their fears by interpreting the meaning and/or the timing of the visions. Through clever exegesis and exposition of the writings of Daniel and John (along with a whole lot of speculation), every imaginable scenario has been played out ... except the one that is contained behind the seals - the one that is actually going to occur or, perhaps, is already occurring?

Regarding that day, we do know this: according to Revelation 5:5-9, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, the Lamb who was slain is the One Who unseals the words.

So it is Jesus, the Lamb of God, who opens the seals. But when does He do that? The first four seals contain colored horses and their respective riders, and that is what this article is about. Did those horses already ride? Have they begun to ride, as we were all distracted? Are we still waiting for them to ride, someday in the future?

NOTE: Is prophecy only given for foretelling/forewarning purposes? Sealing a prophecy would suggest otherwise. Is, perhaps, the primary purpose of prophecy that of after-the-fact confirmation? In other words, as prophesied events occur, only then are they recognized by those having eyes to see and ears to hear as that which was prophesied. And it is not the multitudes who have the recognition but, rather, the few to whom it has been revealed.

Did Jesus not say,

I have spoken these things with you that when their time comes, you will remember them ...

After His resurrection and prior to His ascension, Jesus commanded His apostles:

... not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for The Promise of The Father.

Judeans from many nations had gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Spring feasts: Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost). When the days of Pentecost were fulfilled and all the disciples were assembled together, there came a sound from Heaven like a mighty wind. The disciples were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in several tongues. People in the city who had heard the noise came to investigate, astonished to discover Galileans speaking in their own languages.

NOTE: The brothers and sisters had not just completed linguistic classes at Jerusalem Bible Institute, all in preparation to begin the fundraising efforts necessary to finance their first missionary assignment(s) in foreign lands. Instead, this was a demonstration of the Spirit and power of the kingdom of God. The region of Galilee was not known for spawning the most refined aristocrats in the land. Sophisticates from all over the known world were in town and were astonished, not at the content of the message being delivered, but by the fact that the resident hillbillies were speaking their respective native tongue(s).

Peter addressed the crowd saying, “…This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel…” and proceeded to quote:

'It shall be done in the last days’, says God, ‘I shall pour out my Spirit on everybody, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions and your Elders shall dream dreams. And I shall pour out my Spirit upon my Servants and upon my handmaids and in those days they shall prophesy. And I shall give signs in the Heavens and miracles in The Earth, blood, fire and plumes of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood until the great and awesome day of THE LORD JEHOVAH will come. And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of THE LORD JEHOVAH shall receive life.'

It is anyone’s guess as to how many times the disciples (or anyone else in attendance) may have read that passage from Joel prior to the events of that day. Who knows what they may have interpreted that passage to mean, let alone when they may have speculated it might come to pass? How many eschatological writings, discussion, arguments, conventions, conferences, Bible studies, etc. preceded the actual day the prophecy was fulfilled? Once the events had occurredThis is that ... "

Note that it was Peter, alone, doing the declaring. There is no mention of an emergency meeting of the Board of Deacons, a majority vote, a formal consensus, etc. God saw fit to reveal it to one brother.

Consider this prophecy from John’s vision:

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.

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.

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the 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. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 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 the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Some have put the prophecy of the four horses and their riders of Revelation to rest, attempting to explain how all the elements of the vision of John are somehow included with Jesus's words of Matthew 24 and Luke 21, and concluded in events that had come to pass by 70 AD with the Roman razing of Jerusalem. Those who would insist on holding such an interpretation are required to also hold a unique definition of the phrase, "the whole Earth." They would have you interpret Jesus's words to mean a small neighborhood. According to the Scriptures, before the end comes, the Good News of the Kingdom of God must first be proclaimed to the whole Earth. The hour of testing is about to come upon the whole Earth. Daniel's fourth beast shall devour the whole Earth, and trample it down and crush it. The demons go out to the Kings ofthe whole Earth to gather them together for battle on the great day of Almighty God.

What is the whole Earth? As you read the words that follow, first contrast a tiny, tiny subset of the population of the Earth in 70 AD, those who dwelled in and around Jerusalem in an area comprising a few hundred square miles, with the entire habitable Earth and its population at that time. You have to get incredibly creative with nothing but figurative speech and symbolism to reconcile the whole Earth with that tiny, tiny area and that small number of people, a few million at best. Now contrast the entire world of 70 AD with the entire habitable Earth today and its alleged population of nearly 8 billion souls and consider that when God used the phrase the whole EarthHe might have actually been referring to the whole Earth.

By the Spring of 2020 (as this is being written), one thousand nine hundred and fifty (1950) years after Jerusalem was sacked in 70 AD, the whole Earth is undergoing the grandest deception it has ever experienced to date. Nothing even comes close! As I considered the events impacting the whole Earth around me, and cried out to God for answers, the passage of Revelation 6:1-8 (the opening of the first four seals) suddenly came alive to me, and I had a "This is that ... " moment.

20/20 vision is said to represent optimal visual acuity; the ability to see clearly. Hindsight is said to be the clarity of recognition after-the-fact, when looking back with the benefit(s) of having already passed through. 2020 is the year EVERYTHING changed in the Earth, a detail that could only be recognized once it had occurred.

Near the close of 2020, approximately seven months after completing this article, I was having a conversation with one of my daughters. As we were discussing the coalescing of activities and events of the previous year and the rollout of all things different, I had used the phrase 20/20 Vision Hindsight, a common English language idiom for after-the-fact realization or recognition. Her eyes lit up as she made the connection:

• 20/20 - The year was 2020
• vision - I was witnessing the events of John's vision coming to pass
• hindsight - Looking back and recognizing "This is that ... "

As you read through this article, see if you agree with me that, considering that which is upon us, the phrase 2020 Vision Hindsight is near unbelievable word play.

The first four seals of Revelation chapter 6 introduce four horses and their respective riders.

NOTE: Horses are a well-known mode of transportation. Each horse of this prophecy, distinguished from the other horses solely by its color, is a vehicle (transport, means of delivery) that carries (spreads and distributes) its respective payload(contents, purpose). Those payloads are the riders, the agents that effect change.

There are seven seals in total. We are going to look closely at the first four that John witnessed. As he begins, rather than say, "the first seal", John writes:

And I saw when The Lamb opened one of the seven seals ...

Seals two through seven are numbered and referred to as the second seal, the third seal, etc. It is commonly assumed that these seals are opened sequentially, but that may not be the case. John used the following terminology:

And when he opened the second seal ... Revelation 6:3

And when he opened the third seal ... Revelation 6:5

When he opened the fourth seal ... Revelation 6:7

And when he opened the fifth seal ... Revelation 6:9

And I saw when he opened the sixth seal ... Revelation 6:12

John simply states that when a given seal is opened, such and such occurs. He does not say when in the timeline a given seal is opened. The number of a seal has more to do with the "ID" of the seal, than its ordinal position, the order in which it is opened. Of significance is the fact that John then changes his use of words to announce the opening of the seventh seal, by saying:

And after this ...

Here John clearly indicates a timeline by stating that afterthe six seals are opened and their events have occurred, then the seventh seal is opened. He did not use this manner of speech for the previous six seals. He did not say that after the first seal is opened, then the second seal is opened. Do you see the significance? Regardless of the timing and sequence of the opening of the first four seals, please note that it is not written anywhere that one horse must first return to its stall before the next horse rides. This is what allows for concurrency. This is why I say that the horses can be riding simultaneously.

Why might any of this matter? How long might they have been riding? Read on and decide for yourself ...

Sneak Peek (It's a long article, I know):

• The WHITE Horse is the religion of Healthcarism along with its business division/administrative partner, the Pharmaceutical/Medical Industrial Complex. Its Rider is given a crown (Latin: corona). The rider receives authorization to conquer, and carries a bow with no mention of arrows. Seemingly, without ever firing a shot, the rider of the WHITE horse conquered, is conquering, and will continue to conquer the whole Earth spreading a deceptive story of an invisible enemy to justify the totalitarian measures permanently installed worldwide. Unprecedented control is demonstrated over all of mankind.
• The RED Horse is Revolution/War and its Rider removes peace from the Earth, resulting in the slaying of men. This is the horse that carries a rider who is given a great sword (not a bow without arrows). A great reset has been scheduled for the whole Earth; a coup of unprecedented proportions.
• The BLACK Horse is the uncompromising worldwide social agenda. Its Rider, along with equating a days wage to the ingredients for a loaf of bread and another days wage to the ingredients for a bowl of soup (commonly known as famine, soft-sold as supply chain disruption and food shortages), changes basic values of everything, including finance, race, gender, and the definition of words and their once-accepted meanings. We again witness unprecedented change.
• The PALE horse? Pale isn't a color. The PALE horse is not pale at all, but GREEN. That GREEN horse is the GREEN movement, Environmentalism, Sustainable Development, Agenda 2030, etc, and its rider is Death. People die as a direct result of the agenda, NOT because they waited too long to adopt it!

... 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 ...

~ The classic interpretation of this verse views a futuristic horse and rider as representing Christ (cf. Revelation 19:11), though others contend it may represent an antiChrist. ~

In my "This is that ... " moment, I saw something completely different. The color white, said to be an amalgamation of all colors, is often thought of as intensely bright light. White is the color of choice for a variety of consumables, from paper to underclothing to porcelain. The color white has been co-opted to reference fair-skinned people of ruddy complexion and European descent. In that context, and as men's hatred is nurtured and grows, the word "white" has become the political byword for all that is wrong with the world. Historically, white has been associated with purity and cleanliness. As a color, it is well-known to be visually representative of the medical and pharmaceutical industries and is immediately associated worldwide with ambulances, nursing uniforms, hats and helmets, bandages, the coats of doctors, pharmacists and lab technicians, sterile rooms, medical aid organizations and more. Notably, the color white is also associated with the flag of surrender.

In March of 2020 spokespersons of private, for-profit corporations speaking on behalf of the Western healthcare industry decreed to mankind that immediate shelter must be taken in order to hide from an invisible enemy, an alleged corona (Latin for crown) virus, so named for the shape of the so-called spike protein associated with the so-called virus. For insight into this grand computer-generated deception, see my article titled, "Sickness, Disease and Health".

The WHITE horse (the vehicle of healthcare) carries a rider (the agent of change) who has an archer's bow*. Importantly, no arrows are ever mentioned. He is given a crown (Latin: corona) with which he goes forth conquering (not slaughtering). The rider is given a crown, the symbol of authority. In other words, the rider receives (emergency use) authorization to override all existing authority (law). With the threat of consequence (his bow), yet without a single shot being fired (no mention of arrows), a corona (crown) was used to conquer the peoples of the whole earth. Read: subdue, not annihilate. The actual killing is accomplished via another rider.

The year 2020 opened with a WORLDWIDE coup d’état of unprecedented proportion where we are told to believe that approximately 3 billion people stayed home from work, joining nearly 5 billion more who were already there, voluntarily subjugating themselves to sheltering-in-place, face covering/mask wearing and social distancing. For the first time in history healthy people, not sick people, were quarantined.

Do you recall images such as this one from May, 2020?

... Babylon the Great City will be thrown down ... for by your sorceries you deceived all the nations!

According to the book of Revelation, Mystery Babylon used pharmaceuticals to deceive all the nations of the Earth.

In lieu of the barbarous violence visited upon peoples of old by totalitarian regimes in order to submit populations to their control, mankind was simply lied and nearly everyone on Earth believed the lie!

While people submitted themselves to house arrest, restricted movement and avoidance of one another, and awaited their salvation which they hoped the drug companies would soon supply their governments with, a massive upgrade to the electrical communication grid was occurring. Third and fourth generation technology, 3G and 4G, respectively, was being upgraded to fifth generation technology (5G) to handle the volume of data necessary to support the coming surveillance state. As others have pointed out, 5G transmitters emit an "always on" electrical discharge (coincidentally) referred to as a "corona." The electromagnetic frequencies (aka EMF or microwave radiation) associated with this technology, a technology we have become all too familiar with over the last one hundred twenty years, represent both known and unknown dangers. The frequencies that are being transmitted, marketed as strictly beneficial, have the capability of disrupting as well as terminating life.

Despite the patent dismissal of the dangers of EMFs by the champions of the technology, it remains glaringly obvious to any having eyes to see that our bodies are highly electrically sensitive. Were it not so, EEGs and ECGs would be utterly ineffective. And yet, rather than recognize a real and present danger, men prefer to believe in a non-existent enemy they call a virus. Curiously, the original symptoms presented to the world of so-called COVID-19 disease, the images of Chinese people suddenly de-oxygenated, seizing and dropping to the ground, presumably dead, also happen to be the symptoms of radiation exposure, high altitude (aka "mountain") sickness, and envenomation. Eventually, symptoms of any sort would be associated with the alleged disease before finally declaring that no symptoms whatsoever would be necessary in order to be diagnosed with COVID-19. And pharmaceutical injections would soon be available for everyone.

The rider of the WHITE horse went forth conquering. Fascinatingly, the symbol acknowledging ones own subjugation and humiliation, that white flag of surrender, the visual identifier of your submission to the crown (corona), and that which leaves only your forehead exposed, is the face covering, the wearing of the mask.

With the infrastructure now firmly in place worldwide, as the rider of the WHITE horse continues to conquer, what will be rolled out next? What disease will be decreed to follow the last one? More corona? A more deadly Ebola? A more deadly ChickenPox? A more deadly HIV/AIDS?

The Jack London novel titled, "White Fang", tells the story of a semi-domesticated wolf-dog during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1800s. The wolf, now owned by a cruel man named Beauty Smith, is pitted against other animals in battles to the death. Having never lost a fight, White Fang eventually suffers defeat from a bulldog named Cherokee. Though shredded and bleeding from an epic battle with the wolf, Cherokee eventually gets a hold of White Fang's neck. As though having jaws of steel, the bulldog increases his death grip on the throat of the wolf one nibble at a time. White Fang is saved from certain suffocation by a man named Weedon Scott, who pries the jaws of the bulldog open using his revolver. Scott takes White Fang home with him to his parent's farm outside San Francisco, where the wolf lives out his days.

In a direct quote from the book, during the epic fight scene as the bulldog is choking the life out of White Fang, we read, "The grip was the thing, and the grip he kept."

The rider of the WHITE Horse has conquered, is conquering, and will continue to conquer. This isn't going away! "The grip was the thing, and the grip he kept." The WHITE horse is afoot.

* - Bow: Let's rewind for a moment, and talk about the bow, the equipment carried by the rider of the WHITE horse. The English word spelled B-O-W has two pronunciations:

• When pronounced like the exclamatory word "wow!", the verb to bow refers to tilting or bending the head or body forward as a sign of respect or obeisance (he bowed his head to pray, they bowed before the king, etc).
• When pronounced with a long ō, (bō), as a noun it may refer to an archer's bow, a crossbow, a rainbow, a decorative bow made of ribbon, a shoelace bow, or even a horsehair bow for stringed instruments. As a verb, it means to arch or to bend, as in: to bow a board into a curve.

The English word spelled B-O-W appears approximately 100 times in the English Bible. Half of those occurrences refer to an archer's bow. Four times the word is used to refer to a rainbow. The balance of the occurrences refer to bending the knee: to bow, bowing.

The Hebrew word that we translate into English as an archer's bow or a rainbow is קֶשֶׁת (qesheth), and appears roughly fifty times across eighteen books of the Old Testament.

The Aramaic word for an archer's bow or a rainbow is similar: קשתא (qeshtah). It can be found in the Peshitta Old Testament in precisely the same locations as the Hebrew word qesheth. This word occurs once in the Peshitta (Aramaic) New Testament, in Revelation 6:2, where we read " ... a WHITE horse: and he that sat on him had a bow."

The Greek word for an archer's bow (as well as the rainbow) is τοξον (toxon). In the Greek Septuagint (Old Testament) this word appears in the same locations as the Hebrew and Aramaic words do. As with the Aramaic word qeshtah, toxon also appears once in the Greek New Testament, and that is in Revelation 6:2.

There is no doubt that the rider of the WHITE horse carries an archer's bow; not a bowtie; not a shoestring; not a violin bow.

NOTE: The English word toxin can trace its origins back to the Greek word τοξικον (toxikon), which refers to the poison of a poison-tipped arrow shot from an archer's bow (toxon).

And while we are having fun with languages, do NOT ignore the fact that the Latin word for toxin or poison is VIRUS (pronounced vee-roose).

... 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 ...

~ The classic interpretation of this verse views a futuristic horse and rider as representing war. ~

Red, the color of spilled blood, has been identified throughout history as a symbol of revolution, of battle with no option of surrender. In recent times red has been identified with and has become the adopted color of political communism and ideological socialism.

John wrote that the RED horse (the vehicle of revolution and war) carries a rider (the agent of change) who is empowered to remove peace from the earth. Remove, not merely diminish. That removal of peace results in men slaying one another. Unlike the rider of the WHITE horse, the RED rider does not not carry a bow with no arrows; he is given a great sword.

Do not be timid in your imaginings; swords cut and sever and are used for slaughter, massacre and extermination.

Jesus Himself said,

I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

Predictions, imminent threats and outbreaks of civil unrest, rioting, violent revolution, counter-revolution, insurrection and war are so commonplace today they have all but filled the vacancy left by peace. In households and throughout neighborhoods, communities, villages, cities, states and nations discourse has been replaced by discord, anger has been nurtured into hatred and murder, covetousness and lust have produced resentment, bitterness and entitlement.

UPDATE: There is a different kind of sword that, when dipped in toxic poison that includes microscopic shards capable of shredding the lining of veins and arteries and thus inducing everything from thrombosis (blood clotting) to the symptoms of hemorrhagic fever, is every bit as deadly as a broadsword, if not more so. Having nearly completely paralyzed the populations of the Earth with the fear of an invisible enemy, the self-appointed blind guides of the blind have offered, incentivized, cajoled, intimidated and/or mandated that every man, woman and child be injected.

Perhaps the least obvious kind of sword is the spectrum of electromagnetic frequencies used as weaponry. Directed Energy Weapons, or DEWs, involve precision-beamed micro- and milli-meter wave technology. Frequencies may be used for management and control as well as termination of life.

Consider all that yet stands in the way of the full implementation of what is called the New World Order for an indication of who is at war with whom and what will be the next target. Men have been warned repeatedly to worship God alone, to turn to Him and away from their love of worldly pleasures. People love their own lives and themselves more than they love God or one another. They love their own countries more than they love the kingdom of God. They look for some pill or potion, some group or individual to lead them to peace, safety and prosperity instead of looking for the imminent return of the King of Kings. They sin and sin with every imaginable justification.

We find ourselves once again at the brink of world war, as tensions between nations rise to an all-time high. As with any over-stretched string, over-bent branch or over-inflated balloon it becomes a matter of time before another violent event occurs.

We have been told that The Great Reset is upon us. This is the dawn of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. These issues are inextricably linked. Everything will be changed.

(As of 2020) The World Economic Forum (WEF) admits on their website they are "using COVID to harness the power of revolution" and declares " ... the Fourth Industrial Revolution may indeed have the potential to robotize humanity ... "

The United Nations (UN) informs us, "The present vast overpopulation ... must be met in the present by the reduction of numbers presently existing. This must be done by whatever means necessary."

"God is dead!", declares Noah Yuval Harari of the WEF. "It is just taking a while to dispose of the body."

Peace is being taken from the Earth.

And the RED horse rides.

... a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine ...

~ The classic interpretation of these verses views a futuristic horse and rider as representing famine. ~

Black is thought to be the absence of color; the absence of light. Black is the color of night, the color of darkness. Black has been used effectively as a visually distinctive color, such as black ink, black trim, black attire, black sedan, etc. The color black is associated with a subset of dark skinned people, specifically of African descent. The word “black” has been politically co-opted to represent oppression and discrimination, both perceived and real, specifically in scenarios where “blacks” are the oppressed and “whites” are the oppressors. Organizations, groups and counter-culture / cancel-culture movements such as the Black Panthers, Black Lives Matter, Muslim Brotherhood, Antifa, ACAB (1312), WOKE, etc. have formed in violent opposition to the status quo, and proudly co-opt the color black.

The rider (the agent of change) of the BLACK horse (the vehicle of the black agenda), carries a set of balance scales in his hand. New values, to be understood both literally and figuratively, are established throughout the earth. The price for a two-quart measure of wheat is set at a day’s wage. The price for three two-quart measures of barley is set at yet another day’s wage. This establishes an agreed upon balance that pairs a days labor with a meager allotment of food, so meager as to make current definitions of poverty or famine look enticing. An engineered scarcity drives food prices up to the point of being unaffordable. The resultant de-valuation of labor makes the term "economic collapse" appear as an understatement. And valuations well beyond slaving for a loaf of bread or bowl of soup have been, are being and will be altered.

Law 8 of The Georgia Guidestones (UPDATE: they had not yet been torn down when this article was first written) states, "Balance personal rights with social duties."

Dramatic change is upon us. Not wasting a moment to advance the agenda of the BLACK horse, the World Economic Forum has announced the imminent Great Reset, having informed us that, " ... a new social contract needs to emerge from this crisis that rebalances deep inequalities ... ", inequalities that have emerged (or will yet emerge) as repercussions of the worldwide (alleged) pandemic.

Inequalities, not sin, are believed to be the source of societal conflicts, so it follows that their proposed solution to overcome economic inequality is the Universal Basic Income (UBI). This is described as an income that each and every citizen receives regardless of employment or financial status.

UPDATE: September 9, 2020 - The UN Secretary-General said, "We must turn the recovery from the pandemic into a real opportunity to build a better future."

According to the architects of the coming New World Order, it all must first be torn down in order to build it back, even better than before!

The revaluations, including the move to a digital currency, are not just economic; every imaginable rebellious group is hitching his or her respective wagon to the BLACK horse. The values of yesterday are being replaced with new values.

You turn things upside down!

The days are upon us where men call good evil and evil good, and replace light with darkness and darkness with light. They put sweetness for bitter and bitter for sweet. Up is down, down is up, right is left, left is right, he is she, she is he, true is false and false is true. Disobedience goes unpunished, laziness is rewarded, rebellion is glorified and hatefulness is celebrated. Values of honesty, integrity, accountability, morality, work ethic, family, and the like have been overthrown and replaced with entitlement, social justice, white guilt, gender fluidity, and more.

Individualism is replaced with Collectivism. Capitalism is replaced with Happytalism ("You will own nothing and be happy"). Police are replaced with Surveillance Systems, Contact Tracing and snitch networks. Merit and accomplishment are replaced with participation awards and Social Credit Scoring. Common Sense is replaced with the New Normal.

Definitions of words are undergoing radical change: pandemics no longer require mass deaths, vaccines no longer need to prevent illness or transmissibility (not that they ever did). In keeping with the UN's Agenda 21, speech, our primary means of communication, is being both nullified and weaponized. The elaborate fabrications of so-called Anthropomorphic Climate Change ("the Earth is getting warmer and it's YOUR fault - especially if you are a white male and drive a pickup!") and COVID-19 ("If we say you have it, then you have it!") have been perfectly scripted to engender the ignorant fear necessary to motivate the desired change.

What is the purpose of the rapid and comprehensive changes? As power is centralized, access to any and all resources such as transportation, utilities, clothing and employment, let alone food and water, are being summarily restricted worldwide to active, authorized participants only.

The BLACK horse is about to break into a run.

... a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth ...

~ The classic interpretation of this verse views a futuristic horse and rider as representing death. ~

Nearly every English translation of Revelation 6:8 identifies the fourth horse of the fourth seal as being pale. That is so curious, as pale is not generally thought of as a color, as are WHITE, RED and BLACK. To be included in such a listing should have provoked investigation. Sadly, there is so much momentum behind the notion of a PALE horse, so much has been invested into this idea that no one is questioning the obvious gross error of such a mistranslation. Many go so far as to introduce the adverb sickly to the description (a PALE, sickly horse), steering the listener to envision a diseased, ashen gray horse. Calling the horse PALE may make for impressive visuals, but what is actually written is so much more horrifying ...

The word pale occurs only twice in the King James Version of the Bible; once here in Revelation 6:8 and again in Isaiah 29:22, where God says, “…Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.”

In that Isaiah passage the Hebrew the word for pale is ...

חָוַר (khaw-var’)

This Hebrew word descriptively translates into English as “to blanch” or “to turn white”, thus "pale."

The New Testament was not written in Hebrew, so we cannot look to see what Hebrew word might have been used in Revelation 6:8. So we will pursue another approach ...

In the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament), the Greek phrase used to describe Jacob’s face not waxing pale is ...

προσωπον μεταβαλει (prosōpon metabalay)

This phrase roughly translates into English as a change in countenance or appearance; thus, rightly "pale."

Yet this phrase is not used in any of the Greek texts of the book of Revelation, only in the Greek translation of Isaiah 29:2. The Greek word used to describe the appearance of the fourth horse of Revelation 6:8 is ...

χλωρος (chloros)

This same Greek word appears in the Greek New Testament in both Matthew 14:19 and Mark 6:39 where Jesus instructed the multitude to “…sit down upon the (chloros) grass.” This same Greek word appears in Genesis 1:30 of the Septuagint to describe “…every (chloros) herb…”, referring to the vegetation God had created.

If you have not yet guessed it, the Greek word chloros translates unambiguously into English as the color GREEN!

Hint for English speakers: upon hearing "chloros", think “chlorophyll.” Jesus instructed the multitude to “ ... sit down upon the GREEN grass.” God created “ ... every GREEN herb ... ”,

Jesus most certainly did not tell the crowds to sit down upon the pale grass or the sickly grass, nor is it recorded in Genesis that God created every pale, sickly herb.

We have yet one more convincing proof to identify the correct description of this fourth horse. In all the above passages where the Greek Septuagint and the Greek New Testament texts uses the word chloros, the Peshitta, the worlds oldest complete Bible containing both Old and New Testaments written in the same language, uses the Aramaic word ...

יורקא (yurraq)

The Aramaic word also translates directly and simply into English, in each and every occurrence throughout the Scriptures, as the color GREEN.

Thus, it is most certainly not a PALE horse, after all, that carries Death. It is, without any doubt, a GREEN horse! Oh how interesting!

... a green horse, and he who sat upon him had the name of Death, and Shiul followed after him. And there was given to him power over the fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, and with famine, and with death, and with the toothed beast of the earth ...

In modern vernacular GREEN is the new righteousness.

Environmentalism has become a sophisticated, worldwide religion. Yesterday’s activists are today’s high priests and priestesses who worship the earth as their goddess. According to this new priesthood, the earth is disquieted by {insert environmental topic-du-jour} and is currently in a sad rage. In this new religion, unrighteous behavior includes all that the priesthood considers to be abusive to the Earth, such as driving gasoline-powered vehicles, burning wood or coal for heat or energy, eating red meat, being white and male at the same time, breathing, etc.

A limit of tolerance has apparently been reached. According to the devotees, only through drastic and radical steps can they hope to appease their angry goddess, if it is not already too late. These steps have been formally identified and 17 goals of sustainable development have been set forth by the UN to severely curtail the lives of all but the most elite. Only massive population reduction (depopulation) and imposition of an entirely New World Order (Great Reset, 4th Industrial Revolution) that includes the marking of the remainder of mankind for identification, surveillance and control will guarantee a future of any kind. Their mission appears to be to return the earth to its rightful inhabitants: the wild beasts.

UPDATE 2021: A new level of enforcement requires a new understanding of the standards needing to be met. To ensure a future that is both measurable and achievable, the ESG (environmental, social and governance) metrics (aka Carbon Credits, Walk Score, Carbon Footprint, etc) have been introduced and will soon be mandated. No more "disparate silos." Now everyone can play in the same sandbox by the same rules. Those who do not yet understand, or refuse to comply, will be assisted in their understanding, soon enough.

UPDATE 2022: Global Warming has become Climate Change and is set to become Climate Crisis/Emergency. They tell us that in order to achieve a net drop of 1.5° C in overall temperature, rapid de-carbonization must now occur. As the world was distracted with Russia and Ukraine, the emerging leaders of the world met to discuss their next steps. In their words:

"The goal of 1.5°C is so fundamental that societies need to be prepared to assume negative consequences of policies taken by governments today to avoid the worst consequences tomorrow. This includes job losses, increased costs and geopolitical insecurity associated with a disorderly transition."

"Only a socially just transition will make the consequences bearable for large parts of societies with governments needing to create policies and social-protection systems that help reduce the impacts for those affected." (Think: Universal Basic Income, Carbon/Social Credit Scoring)

"A rapid decarbonization would increase economic and societal disruption in the short term, while a slower pace with fewer short-term impacts would entail much larger costs and greater disorderliness in the long-term." (Read: We have to do this quickly!)

GREEN is certainly not limited to representing environmental issues, alone. Israel has stepped to the front of the line, being first to implement a nation-wide "new normal" compliance system. Presenting one's "GREEN Pass" is now required in order to participate in society.

The rider (the agent of change) of the GREEN horse (the vehicle of the so-called GREEN movement) is named Death. Sheol, the place of the dead, follows him. Together they have access to a fourth of the earth and the mission is clear: to kill by the sword, starvation, plague/pestilence/sudden death, and beasts.

God has a particular understanding of this type of destruction:

For thus says the Lord GOD, "How much more when I send upon Jerusalem my four disastrous acts of judgment: sword, famine, wild beasts, and pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast!"

To what end? To kill!

... there was given to him power over the fourth of the earth, to kill ...

Just in case you missed it, there is a recurring theme, here: To KILL!

Regarding a fourth of the Earth, consider this ...

We are told that 72% of the earth is covered by water, leaving 28% (approximately one fourth), of the Earth represented by land. If the sea creatures who inhabit approximately three quarters of the Earth are dealt with in accordance with Revelation 16:3 ...

And the second Angel poured his vessel into The Sea and The Sea became as dead, and every living animal in the sea died.

... it would stand to reason that the remaining one quarter of the Earth, the land, is where the rider of the GREEN horse focuses his attention.

The worldwide food supply, the supply chain and the distribution network(s) are being systematically trampled under the hooves of the Horses and their Riders, as part of The Great Reset. Farms, crops, livestock, warehouses, manufacturers, processors, etc are all being affected. Food shortages (the gentle, civilized, 2020s replacement phrase for famine resulting in starvation) are now inevitable.

For any who may still be confused: plague/pestilence has nothing to do with what they tell you COVID-19 is. God's definition of a plague does not include cold or flu-like symptoms, the body's means of detoxification. The root word of pestilence is pest. All the pests God has ever visited on the disobedient have been quite visible, not microscopic, not ever. For more on this, see my article titled, "Sickness, Disease and Health".

Along with actual wolves, wild boars, lions, tigers and bears, the word beasts is often a euphemism for men with voracious appetites.

The sound of the hoofbeats of the GREEN horse are deafening.

Look about you and consider what is occurring: As of this writing a so-called "Vaccine Passport" is being proposed and/or is already being adopted by participating nations worldwide, and the next so-called pandemic is being readied. In an overreach heretofore never experienced by mankind, the acknowledged intent is one of total population control over the whole Earth. This extends far beyond the issue of travel or border crossings; it has already been effectively tested to filter everything from sporting event attendance to grocery store admittance. The Chinese have proposed they be selected to implement a worldwide "Civilization ID" modeled after their own country's all-encompassing surveillance and Social Credit Scoring system.

The push to move all things into the digital realm is at a fever pitch. We are told that paper documents, like paper money, are more easily forged than their digital equivalents. Of greater significance is those who intend to be in power have less control over physical assets. All communication must be digital. All identification must be digital. All financial transactions, the ability to buy and/or sell, must be digital.
