1 Revelation Chapter 6-7

2 Revelation 6 Six of the Seven Seals are Revealed We are about to embark on a journey to read what is inside the scroll, which is sealed with seven seals. Vine s Expository Bible Dictionary Sealed G katasphragizō Seal (Noun and Verb): No. 1, strengthened by kata, intensive, is used of the "book" seen in the vision in Rev 5:1, RV, "close sealed (with seven seals)," the successive opening of which discloses the events destined to take place throughout the period covered by chapters 6 to 19. Like an outline in the front of a novel, Chapter 6 is an outline for the entire Tribulation. The successive opening of each seal discloses key players who will take part in the Tribulation and the events with which they are associated. These key people are revealed in a certain order on purpose. Revelation 6:1-2 (Amp. Greek) (1) (First Seal) Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, "Come and see." (2)And I saw a white horse and a rider sat on it. He had a bow, and a crown was given Him and He went forth conquering and to conquer. He carried off the victory over all of His foes. Many believe the four horsemen of the Apocalypse are bad. Some believe (not all) the rider on the white horse is the Antichrist, who first appears to come as the real Messiah, but ends up being a false Messiah. They believe he wins the world over by signing a seven-year peace treaty with Israel, thus ushering in 3 ½ years of peace to this war-torn country. Then, 3 ½ years in, after he has established trust with the people, he is going to break that peace treaty and set himself up as God and demand to be worshipped. One scholar who believes this told me the Antichrist has a bow with arrows, because a bow is a weapon that isn t far reaching. I didn t quite understand that reasoning since I thought his power was world-wide. These are some of the pre-conceived ideas I had before starting this study. I tried to let go of them to be fair to other views which may have had more Biblical proof. It states in Revelation 6:2 the rider went fourth conquering and to conquer. I told you to remember the word conquer, because it would be vitally important. Thayer s Greek Lexicon: Conquer Strong s G3528 nikaō νικάω

3 As I stated, the Lexicons tell you the identities of the four horsemen. There is no need for conjecture, epiphanies from God, or TV evangelists. Just study the Greek. Nikao is a key word, which is used to describe Christ throughout the entire Book of Revelation. He is absolutely the conqueror who will conquer (nikao) in the End Times. In addition, white horses in Revelation are always associated with Christ and His armies. He will return on a white horse in the end. He is the first and the last, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end; the first rider and the last rider. I was so happy I told a Pastor friend, The rider on the white horse is Christ. It says so right here. He responded, Why would Christ be carrying a bow with no arrows? Unfortunately, I couldn t tell him. I just assumed the bow had arrows, because of the other scholar who told me the arrows weren t far-reaching. I was confused by these two scholars. So I began to research the word bow in Greek. This is what I found. Thayer s Greek Lexicon Blueletterbible.org Bow G5115 τόξον - Toxon, τόξου, τό, from Homer down, the Sept. often for שׁ ת,ק a bow: Revelation 6:2. That didn t help at all, so I decided to do a word-study on bow and I looked it up in every verse of the Bible. I found there were 9 Hebrew/Aramaic words and 6 Greek words for bow. But when I got to investigating, most of them were for bow, like bow down, bow the knee. I only found one Hebrew word in the Old Testament for the archer s bow in the Gesenius Hebrew- Chaldee Lexicon on Blueletterbible.org. The Hebrew word for bow was qesheth. There was definition after definition, verse after verse, but the one that caught my eye was the very last one. Bow Strong s H7198 qesheth caa-sheth The definition ended with a Gr. τόξον, which means there is a Greek word for rainbow which is Toxon. If I couldn t read Greek, I would have missed it. But I remembered that the rider on the white horse had a τόξον- toxon, which meant Christ wasn t coming with an empty bow, He was coming with a heavenly bow, a rainbow. Genesis 9:13 and Ezekiel 1:28 are the confirming scriptures. Genesis 9:13 KJV - (13) I do set my bow (qesheth) in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. Ezekiel 1:28 KJV - (28) As the appearance of the bow (qesheth) that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.

4 This is Ezekiel s visit to the Throne Room of heaven in the Old Testament. John saw the same thing in the New Testament. Apparently, there is another Greek word for rainbow, other than toxon. Revelation 4:3 KJV - (3) And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and [there was] a rainbow (Iris) round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. Jesus is coming with a heavenly bow; a rainbow, the sign of His covenant promise. The rider on the white horse has a crown and He will go forth conquering and He will definitely conquer!!! This is God s plan and purpose for mankind. Remember when I told you Chapter 1 and Chapter 10 dovetail each other, and they are both about Jesus when He came to John on the Isle of Patmos to give him this revelation? Revelation 10:1 (Amp. Greek) (1) And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow (iris) was upon his head, and his face was shining like the sun, and his feet were as flames rising like pillars. (This is Jesus, and there is that rainbow again.) The rainbow in Revelation 4 and 10 are Strong s G2463 iris, but the rainbow bow Christ has on the white horse is G5115 Toxon. They are both rainbows. The significance of Christ being on the white horse is huge, but the significance of Him having a rainbow surrounding Him, the sign of covenant promise, is monumental. Even so, there will be those who will continue to believe the rider on the white horse is the Antichrist, coming in the guise of peace. I can no longer believe that, because of the evidence I ve found. I believe Christ is the first player to show up and He will be the last player to show up. In fact, I believe that same sign (the rainbow) will be with Him on His return. Jesus had a visit with a few of His disciples before the crucifixion. They asked Him, What shall be the sign of thy coming? He answered, Matthew 24:30 (KJV) (30) And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Remember Revelation 1:7? Revelation 1:7 (Amp. Greek) (7) Behold He is coming in the clouds and everyone will see Him, including those who pierced Him; and all of the nations of people of the entire earth shall wail and cry out over Him. Even so, so be it. I believe Christ and the heavenly bow will be visible to everyone on the day of His return., especially since the sky will be darkened and the moon will be the color of blood. Many people will be watching the sky, many.

5 I was once asked, How could Jesus be on the white horse and opening the seals at the same time? My answer was simple. Everything John sees in Heaven from Chapter 6 on is futuristic events. Jesus is opening the seals and revealing things which will come to pass in the future. It is not as if the events are happening right as He is opening the seals in the vision. Therefore, it would be possible for Him to open the seal and show John that He (Jesus) will be coming back first as a conqueror. Christ is the first key player revealed. Who is next? Revelation 6:3-4 (Amp.Greek) (3) When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come and see." (4)And there went out another horse that was a fiery red color, Antichrist #1 which power was given to him who sat on it to violently seize and forcibly take away peace from the earth that they should kill one another, and there was given him a great sword. The second key player to arrive on the scene of the Tribulation will be the Antichrist. He is the one symbolically on the red horse, and he doesn t come with a rainbow. He comes with a sword and he makes war. I was expecting him to come in peace, because of the peace treaty teaching, but these verses say he only brings war. We shall see. Here is the confirming scripture to prove the Antichrist is represented by the rider on the red horse with a sword. Revelation 13:7 (KJV) And it was given unto him (the beast) to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Here again, the Antichrist is the one who takes peace from the earth by making war. Chapters 13 and 17 dovetail and they both describe the Antichrist in great detail. Many teach he brings peace with his seven-year peace treaty, so keep your ears open for that and the 3 ½ years of peace during this study to see if that teaching can be verified, because it is a universal teaching. Revelation 6:5-6 (Amp.Greek) (5) When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see." So I looked, and behold, a black horse, False Prophet- Antichrist #2 and he who sat on it had a pair of scales like balances in his hand. (6) And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, Less than a quart of wheat for a day s wage, and less than three quarts of barley for a day s wage, and see that you don t hurt the oil and the vine. Contrary to some teachings, the Antichrist is not the one who enforces the Mark of the Beast. The False Prophet does. Here is the confirming scripture to prove that he is the one represented by the rider on the black horse with the scales in his hand. Revelation 13:16-17 (KJV) (16) And he (false prophet) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: (17) And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

6 The first Antichrist brings war against the saints in Chapter 13. He is pictured with a sword. The natural result of war is famine. Crops and equipment will be destroyed. The shortage ensures the prices of food will skyrocket and only the rich will be able to afford it. The rider on the black horse, who holds the scales, appears to be in charge of the monetary system of buying and selling. That s why he will enforce the Mark of the Beast in Chapter 13. The mark is a sign of allegiance to the Antichrist #1. If people refuse the mark, they will not be able to buy food. It will be a famine for them. They will become scavengers; eating anything they can. And we know plagues, diseases, and death follow this kind of behavior. This will usher in the rider on the pale horse. Revelation 6:7-8 (Amp. Greek) (7) When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see." (8) And I looked and behold a yellowish palecolored horse and the name of the one who sat on it was Death {personified as a tyrant subjecting men to his power and confining them in his dark domains} and Hell {who, associated with him as his partner} accompanied him. And power was given unto them (Death and Hell) over one-fourth of the earth to kill in any way possible, by sword, by famine and hunger, by plagues and by the wild beasts of the earth. Death and Hell, personified, are just cashing in on the aftermath. It states that one-fourth of the earth will die. That is a large area. But what I found in my studies, which made me question the Great Tribulation being a world-wide event, came from The Expositor s Bible Commentary on Daniel and the Minor Prophets by Frank Gabaelein, page 93. And I quote: The whole earth refers, not to all known parts of the inhabited earth, but rather (as in general OT usage) to the entire territory of the Near and Middle East that in any way relates to the Holy Land. The word ar a (and its Hebrew equivalent, eres) does not necessarily mean earth in the sense of the entire inhabited globe but depending on context-might mean a single country, or a larger geographical unit, such as territory or region. In almost every instance, the extent of the district involved is determinable from the context. So, Death and Hell personified will kill ¼ of a single country, or a certain territory or region, by sword, by famine and hunger, by plagues and by the wild beasts of the earth. To find out specifically what region, I went to Ezekiel, a confirming Book to Revelation. Ezekiel 14:21 (NLT) Now this is what the Sovereign LORD says: How terrible it will be when all four of these dreadful punishments fall upon Jerusalem war, famine, wild animals, and disease destroying all her people and animals. One-fourth of Jerusalem will be killed by the Anti-Christ s (sword), by the False Prophet s (Hunger and Famine) and by Death and Hell s (Wild beasts and disease). The same things are listed. Take note, the bow is never mentioned as a weapon of destruction in either of these passages, and now we know why. Jesus comes with a rainbow, not a weapon. The evil begins with the sword, which is what the rider on the red horse carries. Famine and hunger are represented by the scales, which are what the rider on the black horse carries, and death and hell, which come on the pale horse, bring with them more death by plagues and wild beasts.

7 The Seal s Timeline reveals key players and their roles in the Tribulation. So far we have 1 Christ, the 2 Antichrist, the 3 False Prophet and 4 Death and Hell personified. The next key players will go through the Tribulation from the beginning as well, but their identities are not unveiled until we move deeper into the Seal s timeline. Remember, this is an outline. Revelation 6:9-11 (Amp.Greek) (9) And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar of incense, which stood in the Holy Place in Heaven, the disembodies souls of those who were violently put to death for the Word of God and for holding on strongly to their testimony that Jesus was their Messiah. (10) And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until you demand punishment for our blood and enforce the penalty of murder on those who inhabit the lands?" (11) And white robes were given unto every one of them and it was said unto them that they should keep quiet in calm and patient expectation for a little while longer until a certain number of others who acknowledged Jesus as Lord and obeyed His commands were killed just as they were. Well, for the first time since the Tribulation started, we have more people in the Throne Room. In chapters 4 and 5, the Sea of Glass was empty. The only people up there were the 24 elders and John. Now he sees people accumulating under the altar in Heaven. They are some of the 144,000, who have been killed during the Tribulation, but not all of them are there yet. They do not have a confirming verse. They have a confirming Chapter dedicated just to them. They are the ones who are wondering how much longer the Tribulation will last. He says, When the last of your kind is killed as you were, it will be over. Are we ready for the next group of key players who will take part in the Tribulation? Even though they are also present from the beginning, they are not identified until right before the Lord s return. Revelation 6:12-17 (Amp.Greek) (12) I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. (13) And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when it is shaken violently by a mighty wind. (14) Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. (15) And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the military commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, (16) and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us and hide us from the view of God. Rescue us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and is enraged, and from the judgment of Christ. (17) For the last day of this present age, when Christ will return from Heaven, raise the dead, hold the final judgment and perfect His Kingdom, the day when the wrath of God will be made manifest in the punishment of the wicked is coming soon. Who will be able to have the power, whether by virtue of one s own ability and resources, or of a state of mind, or through favorable circumstances, or by permission of law, who will escape in safety? The DAY OF THE LORD is not a 24-hour day. It could better be described as the TIME OF THE LORD. Six is the number of man, so it is no coincidence the sixth seal represents the wicked and the unbelieving, who will be left behind to experience the wrath of God.

8 Remember Chapter 6 is an outline of the Tribulation from start to finish. I call it the Seal s Timeline. It covers the key players and their purposes from Christ s symbolic entrance on the White horse, with the heavenly bow, to His literal return on the White horse in the Day of the Lord. Recap on the Key players who are under the Seals: 1. Christ, the rider on the white horse, symbolically enters to start things off. 2. Antichrist, the rider of the Red Horse literally enters and wages war. 3. False Prophet, the rider of the black horse enforces the Mark of the Beast and controls the monetary system of buying and selling. Together they kill 144,000 Christ followers. 4. Death and Hell personified on the Pale Horse will make sure those people who don t take the mark will be faced with pestilence, wild beasts and disease ,000 Christians are being killed for their testimony. We see them gathering in the Throne Room of Heaven on the Sea of Glass. They will worship God night and day until the last of them is killed. Then God will rain down His wrath on their murderers. 6. The Wicked and Unbelieving who will never repent. They will experience the wrath of God, in the Day of the Lord. The last key player or players have yet to be revealed. It s not hard to guess, since we know Jesus is the first and the last, but this last seal has a twist, which will be revealed very soon. We have just had an enormous earthquake in the sixth seal which has altered the landscape and the skis. During this event the wicked (6 th Seal players) are seen running for the hills because they know what is coming next (7 th Seal Player or players). This hard-hearted group will be left behind at the rapture to experience the wrath of God and they know it, because it has been prophesied to them for the past few years by the 144,000 (5 th Seal Players), who were killed by the Antichrist (2 nd Seal Player), the False Prophet (3 rd Seal Player) and Death and Hell personified (4 th Seal Players). But Christ, (1 st Seal Player) will conquer His foes in the end. But here is something we must not miss. There is something John does between the sixth seal and the seventh seal. It is a repeated pattern, which when understood, helps the book of Revelation make more sense. If you don t catch it, the Book seems very confusing. He takes a divine pause to expound on some key players, who are associated with the Seal s timeline. He tells us a little more about them and what part they played during the Tribulation. After this fill-in-the-blank flashback, he continues with the seventh seal player or players. Chapter 7 will be our first fill-in-the-blank flashback Chapter. It dovetails with Chapter 6. It is the confirming Chapter for the 144,000.

9 KEY PLAYERS IN THE SEAL S TIMELINE #1 Christ #2 Antichrist #3 False Prophet #4 Death and Hell Personified #5 144,000 #6 Wicked & Unbelieving #7 To Be Revealed After The Fill-in-the-blank-flashback which is Chapter 7

10 Revelation 7 Fill-In-The-Blank Flashback Chapter The 144,000 Revealed We will now go back to before the Tribulation even starts and set the scene for these men. Revelation 7:1-4 (Amp. Greek) (1) After these things I saw four angels standing on the four extreme limits of the earth restraining the four cardinal winds from blowing on the earth, or the sea, or any tree. (2) And I saw another angel coming up from the east, carrying the seal {signet ring} of the living God. And he shouted to those four angels, who had been given power to harm land and sea, (3) "Wait! Don't harm the land or the sea or the trees until we have placed the seal of God on the foreheads of His servants." (4) And I heard how many were marked with the seal of God-144,000 were sealed from all the tribes of Israel : The 144,000 (#5 Seal) are witnesses who are marked at the beginning of the Tribulation before the angels blow the first trumpet to hurt the land and sea. These 144,000 will not flee when the Tribulation starts. They will stay behind in Israel. I believe the return of Christ will happen shortly after the last one of them is killed. We are about to find out who the 144,000 are and why they stay behind when others will flee. They have just been sealed with the Seal of God and the Tribulation is about to begin. Thayer s Lexicon Seal - G4972 Sphragizō. Angels are said to stamp God s servants on their forehead, for they are destined for eternal salvation, and by this means, to confirm their hopes. Could Jesus be the angel? He is associated with the word East many times. Maybe this is His first act. He would have the signet ring of God and know who to mark. Revelation 7:5-8 (Amp. Greek) (5) Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. (6) Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephtali were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand. (7) Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. (8) Of the tribe of Zebulun were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. [Here they are in birth order] 1. Reuben (by Leah) 12, Dan excluded/ Manasseh 12, Issachar (by Leah) 12, Simeon (by Leah) 12, Naphtali (by Bilha) 12, Zebulun (by Leah) 12, Levi (by Leah) 12, Gad (by Zilpah) 12, Joseph (by Rachel) 12, Judah (by Leah) 12, Asher (by Zilpah) 12, Benjamin (by Rachel) 12,000 The 144,000 will be descendants from Jacob s twelve sons, except his fifth son named Dan who has been excluded from the list for various reasons. Dan got coastal land by the Mediterranean Sea, but the Philistines never let him settle there, so he went north. His tribe attacked the territory of Laish near his brother Nephtali and stole their land. Later King Jeroboam built a state temple in Dan s territory and erected a golden calf. Some believe that is why they were excluded from the list in Revelation from which 12,000 of the 144,000 were selected.

11 DAN MOVED NORTH. HE DOESN T HAVE 2 TERRITORIES

12 Instead of Dan, Joseph s first-born son Manasseh was chosen as a replacement. Joseph s other son was Ephraim. I believe Manasseh was selected over Ephraim because Ephraim s territory hosted the other state temple with a golden calf in it. Regardless, 144,000 righteous men will be selected and sealed and they will stay behind in Israel during the tribulation and be witnesses. So we ve seen the 144,000 at the beginning getting sealed and we ve seen them in Chapter 6 towards the middle as they were accumulating in the Throne Room of Heaven. They were crying out for vengeance in the 5th seal. But God told them they had to wait until all 144,000, who had been sealed, were killed just as they were. Then God said He would avenge their blood. Now we get to see them at the end right before His return. They are all in the Throne Room and it is buzzing with activity. They are no longer questioning, they are praising God, for the Day of the Lord is at hand. Revelation 7:9-17 (Amp.Greek) (9) After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands. (10) And they were shouting with a great roar, "Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!" (11) And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living beings. And they fell before the throne with their faces to the ground and worshiped God. (12) They sang, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength belong to our God forever and ever! Amen." (13) Then one of the twentyfour elders asked me, "Who are these who are clothed in white? Where did they come from?" (14) And I said to him, "Sir, you are the one who knows." Then he said to me, "These are the ones who died in the Great Tribulation. They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white. (15) That is why they stand in front of God's throne and serve Him day and night in His Temple. And He who sits on the throne will give them shelter. (16) They will never again be hungry or thirsty; they will never be scorched by the heat of the sun. (17) For the Lamb on the throne will be their Shepherd. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water. And God will wipe every tear from their eyes." They are rewarded with white robes, and as we will find out later much more. They are called the Patience of the Saints, because they have patiently waited for Christ s return and they never lost their faith in Him or apostatized, as many others will. God addresses the 144,000 a couple times in Revelation. Here is one of their confirming scriptures. Revelation 14:12 (Amp. Greek) (12) Here is the patience of the saints: Here are the men who were un-swerved from their deliberate purposes and loyalty to their faith. These are they who exhibited religious devotion to God through even the greatest trials and sufferings, and kept the commandments of God, which are widely known in the Christian religion, and believed Jesus was their Messiah through whom they could obtain eternal salvation in the Kingdom of God. Here are they who kept the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Now that John has finished his fill-in-the-blank flashback and given us the whole story on these key players, he will get back to the seal s timeline and reveal to us who is represented by the 7 th Seal. Although present from the start, He (or they) won t be revealed until the very end.
