Revelation 6:1-2

God is good all the time, all the time God is good! Revelation 5:1-2 "As I watched, the Lamb broke the first of the seven seals on the scroll. Then I heard one of the four living beings say with a voice like thunder, "Come!" I looked up and saw a white horse standing there. Its rider carried a bow, and a crown was placed on his head. He rode out to win many battles and gain the victory."

The first seal! This is the first of three seven-part judgment. The trumpets and the bowls are the other two. As each seal is opened, Christ the Lamb sets in motion events that will bring about the end of human history. This scroll is not completely opened until the seventh seal is broken. The contents of the scroll reveal humanity's depravity and portray God's authority over the events of human history.

Four horses appear as the first four seals are opened. The horses represent God's judgment of people's sin and rebellion. God is directing human history - even using the enemies to accomplish his purposes. The four horses are a foretaste of the final judgments yet to come. Some view the chapter as a parallel to the Olivet Discourse (Mat. 24) The imagery of four horses is also found in Zechariah 6:1-8

Tomorrow, the second seal, peace taken from earth. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
