The Book of Revelation 6:7-8

Posted by on Feb 23, 2013 in Prophecy

The Pale Horse Rider

“7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”

(Rev 6:7-8 KJV)

The pale horse rider is the only rider that is given a name – Death. Death is followed by Hell. Death and Hell are symbolic of the personifications of the destruction of the fourth seal.

The Black Horse Rider

“5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.”

(Rev 6:5-6 KJV)

Following a global war the black horse rider brings in a world-wide famine.

The Red Horse Rider

“3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.”

(Rev 6:3-4 KJV)

If the white horse rider bring in peace by diplomacy it is a short lived peace as the very next seal brings war. The second seal releases the red horse rider who takes peace from the earth. All the world powers will be cast into a great war so huge that there will be no resemblance of peace on Earth.

The Book of Revelation 6:2

The White Horse Rider

“And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.” (Rev 6:2 KJV)

The white horse rider is an intriguing mystery and there is a lot of speculation as to his identity.

There are several key points about the white horse rider:

  • He rides a white horse
  • He has a bow, but with no mention of arrows
  • He wears a stephanos, or royal, crown that was given to him
  • He is conquering
  • He will continue to conquer

The Book of Revelation 6:1

The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse

“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.” (Rev 6:1 KJV)

After the church is caught up into Heaven, Jesus, the worthy lamb, opens the seals of the book. The opening of the first seal starts the Tribulation. Each seal that is opened will release God’s wrath upon the world. The first four seals release the four horseman of the apocalypse – the white horse represents conquest, the red horse represents war, the black horse represents famine, and the pale horse represents death.

Worthy is the Lamb

“11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.”

(Rev 5:11-14 KJV)
