THE FOUR-HORSEMEN REVEALED!
Opening of the Seals
Third Seal
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.
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.
Revelation
6:5-6
The “black horse”
rider has ‘a pair of scales in his hand’—this is an ‘economic instrument’;
therefore, the event that is revealed in the “third seal” has to do with the
global economy. Global economies today,
are vastly interconnecting, and the world is going “cashless” and “digital.”
World governments, financial institutions, international agencies, and
organizations already have set a basic-target of transforming most of the
world’s countries into cashless economies by the year 2020.
With modern advancement in ‘unique
identification systems,’ biometric technology, digital currencies, governments’
cashless policies, and artificial intelligence, the world is much closer to
globalization today than as it was in the past decade. The aim and goal of all
these is ‘one-world economy’ under a ‘one-world government’ just as GOD’s Word already
revealed.
"The black horse rider" with
'a pair of balances in his hand' will negatively affect most of the world’s
economies.
Yet, in the midst of it all, there shall
be providence for God's peculiar people—He will preserve His holy nation.
"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."
"Wheat" is a grass widely
cultivated for its seed, a cereal grain which is a worldwide staple food—and is
used figuratively in this prophecy.
Also, "barley," a member of
the grass family, is a major cereal grain grown in temperate climates globally.
This too is mentioned in this “seal.”
Today, a ‘metric ton of barley’ costs
over $130 (US Dollars) while a ‘metric ton of wheat’ is worth over $192 (US
Dollars). This shows that wheat is of more nutritional and economic value than
barley; hence it is higher in price.
So,
if "a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a
penny”—it only reveals that such economic-time will be a time of severe “economic
depression” and ‘desperation.’
A denarius (plural denarii) is an
ancient Roman coin made of silver. Like most countries, ancient Roman coins
represented a portion of a larger denomination. The smallest denomination
issued at the time was the as (plural asses). A denarius functioned similarly
to the United States penny in today's commerce.
The denarius was the standard Roman
silver coin from its introduction in the Second Punic War c. 211 BC to the
reign of Gordian III, when it was gradually replaced by the Antoninianus. It
continued to be minted in very small quantities, likely for ceremonial
purposes, until and through the tetrarchy.
"...
and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine."
GOD's faithful servants who are the
nameless, the faceless, and the selfless, will continually triumph both in this
world and in the supernatural realm doing exploits for "the Master." They
shall go from "revelation to revelation," and from "grace to
grace."
The fulfillment of this “seal” will
cause famines, and pestilences and there will be several earthquakes in many
parts of the world.
“… and there shall be
famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places” (Matthew 24:7b).
And, even at the occurrences of these
things, the LORD says: “All these are the beginning of
sorrows” (Mt.24:8).
