The Book of Revelation 6:7-8

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 Book of Revelation 6:3-4

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 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 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)

The Book of Revelation 5:9-10

A New Song

“9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

(Rev 5:9-10 KJV)

The new song is representative of new life that Jesus purchased with His own blood. While the Tribulation period is about to start, John sees those in Heaven worshiping God and recognizes that they came out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.

Harps

“And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps,” (Rev 5:8a KJV)

The scene in Heaven is consistently that or worship. We see not only that fact of worship, but also the means of worship. Here we see the beasts and the elders playing harps and worshiping God with music. Playing music in Heaven is not just for a select few. All those in Heaven are Church musicians. Music is a great way of worshipping God as He delights in songs of praise. Several books of the Bible are songs or contain songs.

The Lamb and the Throne

“And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.” (Rev 5:7 KJV)

Jesus is not literally standing in front of God. This would either make Jesus apart from God, showing that He is not God, or it would show one God standing in front of another making two Gods. Any attempt to use this passage to demonstrate that Jesus in His Deity is distinct from the Father would make Jesus not God or would make two Gods.

A Slain Lamb

“And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.” (Rev 5:6 KJV)

After John has been told about a lion that has prevailed and found worthy to open the seals of the book, what he sees instead is a lamb that had been slain. The lamb is of course symbolic of Christ.

The Lion of the Tribe of Juda, the Root of David

“2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”

(Rev 5:2-5 KJV)
