Daily Devotional, Year 3 – June 18

.

.

.

.

The Four Horsemen of Revelation 6,

.

Part 5:

“The 4th Horse”

To read Part 1, go here…June 14 (The Four Horsemen of Revelation 6, Part 1: “How To Understand Revelation”)

.

.

.

.

“And when he had opened the fourth seal,

I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

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.”

Revelation 6:7, 8

.

.

.

.

This fourth horse seems to be speaking of the death which eventually cauhttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Apocalypse_vasnetsov.jpgses the end of the Church era. 

.

The Bible makes the sad prophecy…“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;” 2nd Timothy 4:3, 4

.

Here we see that eventually the true Gospel will no longer be tolerated in the churches, but replaced by a more palatable gospel which appeals to itching ears.

PROSPERITY-DRIVEN GOSPELS

.

And of course, we are now witnessing such a compromised Gospel today, as the churches are embracing a prosperity-driven, Mammon-loving message.

.

Now this prosperity-driven gospel takes on several forms: one which is tagged, “Name-it-and-claim-it” preaching, while the more conservative form is called, “The Entrepreneurial Spirit” or “The American Dream”. Either way, the bottom line is: Mammon, Mammon, and more Mammon!

.

Jesus said…“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24

.

Satan has been busily giving this modern world a make-over in which he has turned the former Reformation nations into veritable cornucopian super-societies.

.

Yes, just about any and every earthly dream is within reach to all those willing to trade their soul for the riches and glory of this present world.

.

And sadly, the Christian world has jumped on board with the secular world in pursuing the earthly treasures and fleshly pleasures of this Sodom-like society!

OTHER ABOMINATIONS

.

Now there are a number of other abominations which have crept in the church-world to complete the apostasy within the local congregations: sensual music under the guise of “worship music”, brought on by the recording industry which charges money for the buying and selling of its products.

.

But also, the so-called Christian television networks have further debased and replaced the true Gospel with apostate false doctrines, greedy religious hucksters, alluring women in immodest attire, and a host of other abominable practices.

DEATH-TO-SELF

.

But this fourth horse is not only symbolizing the death of the church-world, buthttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Apocalypse_vasnetsov.jpg also the death of true-worshipers.

.

Yes, the goal of each and every true Christian is to die with Christ.

.

And the true Church, made up of every Elect worshiper of Christ finally comes to the point of death-to-self.

.

Yes, God’s people finally arrive at the place in which they can no longer endure seeing the woe and destruction of this hedonistic and opulent world, and its devastation effects upon their family.

FLEEING TO THE MOUNTAINS

.

And thus is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah…“In that day a man shall cast his http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Genesis19-17.jpgidols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.” Isaiah 2:20, 21

.

And so, this fourth pale horse speaks of both the death of the churches, and the death-to-self of God’s true worshipers, as they flee to the spiritual mountains, finding safety and refuge in the ragged rocks, where their heavenly bread will be given them and their waters of grace will be assured!

FLOOD-WATERS OF SATAN CONSTELLATION

www.theheavensdeclare.net.

“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman…And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads…And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Revelation 12:1, 3, 15

7 HEADS, 10 HORNS, & 7 CROWNS OF THE DRAGON

.

“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” Rev. 12:3 

.Dragon of Revelation 12 Constellation

In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. However, the Dragon Constellation up in the night sky does not. But God has faithfully created the wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. Because this wave of water is basically composed of ten stars. The main body of the wave has seven stars (#‘s, 1 thru 7). And the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars (#’s, 8, 9 & 10). So we have this 7 and 10 numbering. And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent. Because, the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).
