THE SEVEN SEAL OF REVELATIONS

The first four seals are the famous four horsemen of the Apocalypse. What does these seals mean? Christ is the
Revelator, so we look to him for interpretation. The Bible interprets the Bible we will find in Matthew 24 Jesus Christ own explanations of the sign of the end of the age, and the significance of the seal.

1) The first horsemen its rider represent false Christ and false
Religion. The difference between this first horse and its Rider,
and the description of the true Christ at His return. The first
horseman carries a bow, and wears one crown. By contrast,
Rev 19:15 describes Jesus Christ returning to this earth with a
shape sword, and Rev 19:12 pictures Him wearing crowns.
Clearly the man on the white horse in Rev 6 is not the true
Christ. We must take heed to Jesus warning to beware of false
Christ, false Messiahs, and counterfeit religion.

2) The second horseman of Revelation 6 represent war rides a
red horse. We read: another horse, fiery red, went out and it
was granted to the one who sat on it, to take peace from the
earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was
given to him a great sword" Rev 6:4

3) The third seal of Revelation 6 depicts a rider on a black
horse revealing famine in the world.

4) The fourth seal presents a rider who is given the name
"death" He rides a pale horse indicating the pestilence
following on the heels of famine. These are the same famines
and pestilences which Jesus Christ spoke of in
Matthew 24:7

The effects of these four horsemen are devastating; " and
power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with
sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beast of the "earth"
Rev 6:8 one-fourth of the earths populations will die! But God
wants you to know what lies ahead- He wants you to be able
to prepare, for your own good and indeed for your salvation.

5) The fifth seal, in Rev 6:9, depicts the Martyrdom of the
saints and the persecution of Christians. This is a historical
fact- in the first century after Christ, the Romans empire under
Nero Persecuted thousands of Christians and put them to
death_but it also refers to a future rearival of the Roman
Empire that will again persecute Christians.

6) After the great tribulation, the sixth seal will be opened a
series of heavenly signs. The Apostle John wrote: I looked
when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great
earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair,
and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell
on the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs tree drops its late
figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded
as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and Island
was moved out of its place" Rev 6:12-14

7) Seventh seal, the Day of the Lord, contains seven "Trumpet
Judgements" or plaques. When he opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in heaven for about half and hour. And I saw
the seventh angels who stands before God, and to them were
given seven Trumpets Rev 8:1. These trumpets are trumpets of
warning, announcing plaques or judgements.

PROPHECY OF THE NEARNESS OF CHRIST SECOND
COMING. MATT 24:33


1) The destruction of Jerusalem Prophecy: there shall not be
left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown
down" Let them which be in judea flee into the mountains
matt 24:2,16

2) A great persecution or Tribulation Prophecy: " for then shall
be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the
world." matt 24:21

3) The sun turned into Darkness Prophecy: " Immediately
after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened."
Matt 24:29

4) The moon turned into Blood Prophecy: "The sun shall be
turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the
great and terrible day of the Lord. Joel 2:31

5) The stars fall from heaven Prophecy: " And the stars shall
fall from heaven." Matt 24:29

6) Jesus comes in the clouds Prophecy: " And then shall
appear the sign of the sun of man in heaven: and they shall see
the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven: and then shall
all tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
matt 24:30

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TRUE CHRIST AND THE
ANTICHRIST


Christ tells us that we should beware of false prophets, false
doctrine, and false Christ. I would like to share some verses to
study and to know the difference between the true and living
Christ, and the Antichrist. The word anti in Antichrist can
mean either "against" or "instead of." In other words, The
Antichrist power might put itself in the place of Christ rather
than openly denying Him.
