BooK of Revelation
a paraphrased study
THE vision 1 - Now I {disciple/apostle John} was watching as the Lamb [Jesus “as slain” only one “worthy to open the scroll”] opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four {majestic} living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 And I looked! And there, was a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came riding forth conquering, and to conquer. {Often taken to be the shadow rider to the gospel, the false way, especially when we lock the vision in a box titled “7 years only”. I am 99.9% convinced thiS white horse is the gospel riding forth into the age “openly victorious over powers and principalities” Colossians 2:15. Yet both the good news (gospel) and the false way, will escalate, gather momentum toward gallop, in late days and ‘last’ hour.}
3 When he opened the *second* seal, I heard the *second* living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse. This one was fiery [pyrros] red and its rider was allowed to take peace from the earth, so that people slay one another, and he was given a long sword. {Obviously war. War is given a megas - a great, large, mighty sword. Second of the four horsemen of the apocalypse is mankind’s response to the good (or megas - great, large, mighty!) news.}
{“Second” - second creature, second seal - Father Most High is veRy organized. ..And 100% unfettered Genius. Chapter 6 is where the actual vision begins. First of THREE tellings of the vision. The 3 being 6:1-2 to 11:19; chapter 12, but verse 17 needs Matthew 23:39; and 13:1 to 19:11. And the THREE rejoin at the sounding of the 7th trumpet, Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4, Zechariah 14:4, noT to be confused with Rev.21:1-5.}
