Charge of the Horsemen

The earth trembles

When GH Lang was asked if events of the Second World War might be the fulfillment of End Times prophesies and the Apocalypse, he replied that they could not be. That was because certain necessary Scriptural elements were not yet in place. 

He didn't compile an exhaustive list of unfulfilled prerequisites, but the fact of Israel not being a nation was one of them. The apostasy hadn't occurred either–but it is patently evident now.

This writing is limited in focus and will serve simply to explain how obvious items in current events appear to rather blatantly align with one key–and very consequential–element of the End Times narrative in Revelation, that is, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Chapter 6, verses 1-8.

The elements of the First Horseman are that he rides a white horse, he has a bow, he is given a crown, and he goes forth “conquering and to conquer”.

I had always believed that the Horsemen would be angelic powers, forces from the spirit realm having authority over earthly affairs. Though fallen angelic authorities likely are directing the dreadful events we are witnessing, they are acting through human agency, and the color of the horses indicates which human institution or “movement” or organization they are using to accomplish their ends. So we may see the horses as earthly organizations and their riders as malign angelic powers who have taken the reigns. So, as anyone not in a stupor will acknowledge that today's events are unlike any in living memory, an understanding of unseen evil powers directing powerful human agencies may serve to explain the dread phenomena of our present experience.

The mount of the First Horseman is white.

If one were to associate the color white with some organization, it seems the most obvious correlation would be with the medical establishment. Advertisers who want to sell medical products will often make their pitch using a doctor dressed in a white coat because everyone associates white uniforms as representative of the medical profession.

The Horseman has a bow. In the Greek, the word is phonetically transliterated into English as “toxon”. This is where we get the words “toxic” and “toxin” because archery in John the Revelator's day very often included poison-tipped arrows–iron breastplates and helmets kept regular arrows from making mortal wounds, but even a minor flesh wound with a poison-tipped arrow would take any soldier off the field. 

Those who know of the toxicity of the injections purportedly intended to protect against COVID-19 will readily draw the conclusion that John saw in vision the  mechanism of his day that was closest to that of today's hypodermic. For those who cannot make this connection, it is because he or she is under the thrall of propaganda and psyop (which is mentioned in Revelation as “those who love and practice a lie”--Revelation 22:14-15  

Blessed those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

“He is given a crown”. In Greek, the word is transliterated “stephanos”. It is a wreath of laurel leaves accorded to champion athletes and, more to the point for this discussion, conquering generals. Of note, the stephanos is an organic thing. Of still more significance, the Latin translation of the Greek word is “corona”, the name of the type of virus that was manipulated to become what has been used to shake and reshape the entire world. 

That he goes forth “conquering and to conquer” reflects the fact that the production of the various viruses and the mandatory injections and the entire pandemic fear campaign were all part of a military operation the goal of which is global dominion and depopulation.

The Second Horseman rides a red horse. He has a great sword, and he is given the power to take peace from the earth that men will slay (or slaughter) one another.

While red may denote war and bloodshed generally, I think it points particularly to the color of communism, and still more particularly to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The US has for decades been targeted, in asymmetrical warfare, by the CCP. The calling forth of this Horseman may point to kinetic war, and the war in Ukraine, as it serves the CCP's interests in depleting US ammunition and financial assets, may very well be a part of that. As the present administration in Washington is patently a puppet regime, beholden to China's ruling class (elsewhere in Revelation referred to as “the kings of the East”) the very actions and expenditures of our own government in conflict may actually be attacks against the US intended to weaken the nation relative to China.

The sword mentioned here is different from that associated with the Fourth Horseman. It is a “machaira”, which is the Greek word for the kind of sword commonly used by and most associated with Western armies in John's day. I take this to indicate destruction and death in the Western world, rather than military action prosecuted by the Western powers. Of course, I could be wrong, but the first mention of an angel with a sword causing mass death is found in 1st Chronicles, chapter 21:14-16. The story tells of the time David conducted a census contrary to God's will. 

So the LORD sent a pestilence on Israel, and 70,000 men of Israel fell. And God sent the angel to Jerusalem to destroy it, but as he was about to destroy it, the LORD saw, and he relented from the calamity. And he said to the angel who was working destruction, “It is enough; now stay your hand.” And the angel of the LORD was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. And David lifted his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and heaven, and in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.

 Here we see an angel who was sent by God to wreak destruction on His people. The sword did not indicate war and bloodshed, but pestilence. So there are some things to consider in the possibly related passage of the Second Horseman. One is that he and the other riders may not be evil, fallen angels, but simply obedient agents of God's commands. As the Western world has largely abandoned God, He is certainly righteous in any judgment He deems fit. The other is that war per se is not necessarily indicated, though the word translated “slay” seems to support the idea. Perhaps bloody mayhem in our terribly fractious and balkanized populace is in order. We will see.

The Third Horseman is mounted on a black horse. He carries a balance scale and proclaims, “a quart of wheat for a denarius and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and the wine!”

Again starting with the color of the horses, black might, as some others have suggested, indicate banking, as in being “in the black”. It may be worthwhile to consider the name “Blackrock”, the investment firm that controls so much of the world. The scales point to commerce and inflation, the proclamation, to food scarcity–which the watchful already know is beginning to happen. That the luxury items of the Revelator's day are not to be harmed points to a phenomenon that is presently in evidence, that is, elites are making for themselves survival shelters outfitted with the world's best things. They are robbing the working class through inflation and other means to do it.

The Fourth Horseman is said to be mounted on a pale horse by the KJV, and the NASB calls it an ashen horse. But the Greek word is “chloros”, which means, simply, “green”. The translators must not have known what to make of a green horse. Understandable. 

The Green Movement, the goals of which the puppet in the White House has vowed to pursue, is determined to end the use of “fossil fuels”. Obviously, a precipitous cessation of oil, gas, and coal power, without some workable alternative to fill the void, will mean a precipitous cessation of civilization as we know it, and along with that, huge numbers of deaths. This Horseman, who is Death himself and who is followed closely by Hades, will be responsible for the demise of a quarter of mankind.

And Biden has stated plainly, “We're gonna end oil and gas.”

The sword associated with this campaign is a “romphaia”, a curved, Eastern style sword. So, I think the carnage will be mostly in the densely populated Eastern world.

Thats what I have for this critical piece of Scripture. I will close it with a quote from GH Lang, whose observations on this section back in 1948 led him to the conclusion that “It will be a dreadfully depopulated earth over which the Beast will reign and to which Messiah will later return.”

Whether the reader sees our current events as John's vision being fulfilled or not, no one who is aware of these things and who can draw logical conclusions as to cause and effect can possibly anticipate a smooth time ahead. And for those who hope for the return of the King Who gave the vision to John, it is time to buy additional oil for your lamps. He is going to claim this rebel sphere, but we can't know how soon that will happen or what may intervene while we wait. We can be sure, though, that the world will be shaken as never before. 

I thank you for reading this, and I bid you peace in this troubled time.
