Revelation 6:7,8

Good morning everyone!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!!

Revelation 6:7,8 "When HE opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see." So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth."

pale horse - Chloros, the Greek word from which the English word "chlorophyll" comes describes the pale, ashen-green pallor characteristic of the decomposition of a corpse.

The riders described in verses 2-8 are commonly referred to as the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. the four riders are given power over one-fourth of the earth, indicating that God is still limiting his judgment-it is not yet complete. With these judgment there is still time for unbelievers to turn to Christ and away from their sin.

In this case, the limited punishment not only demonstrates God's wrath on sin but also his merciful love in giving people yet another opportunity to turn to him before he brings final judgment. We must not presume upon God's patience. Our repentance must be visible and authentic.

In what ways does your life reflect new and different behavior?

In Christ's Love and Grace
