Revelation 6:3,4

Hello all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good! Well, internet problems dropped everything today so I am doing Revelation tonight.

Revelation 6:3,4 "When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come and see." 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."

Another horse, fiery red - Its blood-red appearance speaks of the holocaust of war. God will grant this horse and its rider the power to create worldwide war. But as horrible as this judgment is, it will be only the "birth pains," the beginning pains of God's wrath.

People should kill one another - Violent slaughter will become commonplace.

Sword - Not the long, broad sword, but the shorter, more easily maneuvered one that assassins often used and that soldiers carried into battle. It depicts assassination, revolt, massacre, and wholesale slaughter.

Questions to ponder: Do you believe in a final judgment? Why or why not?

We have seen cartoons of a wild-eyed, bearded prophet holding up a sign that says: "Repent! The end is near!" Why is that type of thing often laughed at?

In Christ's Love and Grace
