4 Horsemen of the Apocolypse

4 Horsemen of the Apocolypse

Matthew 24:22 "If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened."

Jesus is telling us that the end time days will be cut short so there will be survivors during these horrific times. Imagine the sorrow our heavenly Father must feel for the punishment HE has to deal out to us because we as HIS children have not obeyed and followed the rules. GOD, our father, does not want to lose even ONE of us, but unfortunately, there will be millions lost, whose hearts are so hardened they can no longer even hear GOD, and who are so far gone into satan's grasp that they worship things that the LORD despises.

Revelation 6:2 "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.

Revelation 6:3-4 "When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.

Revelation 6:5 "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.

Revelation 6:7-8 "When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" 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.

These 4 scriptures refer to Horsemen and horses and throughout time this has come to be known as the "4 Horsemen of the Apocolyspe." Notice it is the "Lamb" who is opening each seal--Jesus is the Lamb. Only HE is worthy to open each of these seals.Looking out through history we have reached vast technological, scientific, and medical advances, not to mention the ability to travel great distances in short periods of time, compared to how our ancestors had to travel.

Daniel 12:4 "But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge."Our knowledge has increased enormously in this last century and many do travel alot. Are we nearing the end time? Only GOD knows that date HE has set aside to bring HIS kingdom to earth and for Christ to reign. It is also clear that we are to watch for all the signs that point to HIS second coming.

Though none of us will ever know the exact date, it is best to watch and be prepared.Are you ready? Have you been saved? Do you accept Jesus as the Christ, the Son of GOD, who was born of the virgin Mary, and died on the cross for all of man's sins and transgressions and rose again on the 3rd day?
