Revelation Chapter 6 (R06-4a)

              Fourth Seal 1

Rev 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 (green) 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 (green) Horse
    The Greek word 'chloros,' which means green colour, has been wrongly translated as pale, possibly because there were no green horses. Green is universally known as the colour of Islam. This vision could be a warning sign about the rise of Islamic power that will eventually conquer and subdue the world.

Rider's name was Death
    This suggests that a quarter of mankind will be killed or murdered.

Followed by Hades
    The massacred will be cast into Hades, but godly Christians will be spared from the anarchy. The righteous are preserved so that they can disciple the hundreds of millions of souls, saved during WW3, the 4th seal. These will be prepared for tribulations and ready to become the bride of the Lamb during Rapture

A quarter of Mankind (2 billion people) will be killed by:

1. Sword - World War 3, where possibly weapons of mass destruction are employed to kill so many people. In Mat 24, this war is so extensive, destructive, and deadly that it is just like the end of the world (the end is not yet).
Mat 24:6  "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet."

2. Hunger - food shortages caused by famines and wars.

3. Death - earthquakes, tsunamis, pestilences (plagues), weapons of mass destruction, etc.

4. Beasts of the earth - plagues transmitted from animals.

This 4th Seal of Rev 6:7-8 is synchronised as Mat 24:6-7
Mat 24:7  "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places."

Harvest of Tares (please read Mat 13:36-43)
Mat 13:41  "The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
     Before the end time harvest of His elect at Rapture, God will send His angels to remove the tares (wolves and heretic) from His kingdom (church) so that He can prepare the bride of the Lamb.
    The tares are fallen Christians, who are offensive (worldly, covetous, deceivers, carnal, depraved, sodomites, adulterers and idolaters) and had practice lawlessness (heresies, wrong doctrines, lies, and deceptions). 
    God will use this fourth Seal (WW3) to kill all these wolves and depraved Christians (tares) in His kingdom (church) and cast them into eternal fire.

The Fourth Seal is Near
    Repent brethren from evil, wickedness, and heresies for the opening of the fourth Seal is just around the corner. To ensure your eternal inheritance, keep the words of Jesus, love God, and love one another as Jesus had loved us 
Eph 5:2-5  And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
