Dangers of the Second Seal - Apocalypse Now

The Second Seal of the Apocalypse is described in chapter six of the Book of Revelation in the Bible. It is one of seven seals that are opened by the Lamb of God, which represents Jesus Christ. The opening of the second seal reveals a red horse with a rider holding a sword in his hand. The color of the horse represents war and bloodshed, while the sword symbolizes violence and conflict. The rider is given the power to take peace from the earth, and people are given authority to kill one another. This seal is often interpreted as a warning of wars and conflicts that will occur before the end of the world. The Second Seal is often associated with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which represent conquest, war, famine, and death, respectively. The opening of the seals is seen as a prelude to the end of the world and the final judgment.

Translation is wrong here great "sword" means dagger this event describes, to me, "great" describes a event that takes place in many locations at the same time. This is not war in the sense of nukes and large bombs

Was the COVID-19 vaccine the first seal?

One thing I learned from this video: the speaker himself has no idea what God meant by this red horse and rider.

Let's begin with the White horse and rider. Before we decide what is represented by this white horse and rider, let's first find out WHEN. When was this first seal opened? For that, we must study the context.

So many people pull the first seal out of its AD 32 context. Keep in mind, God created this vision John saw, so we can be sure that *John saw EXACTLY what God wanted him to see.* In other words, God was sending John a message through this vision. No one will understand much of the Book of Revelation until they understand the message of Chapters 4 and 5, which form *the context* of the opening of the first 5 seals.

Take careful note:
1. Jesus was NOT SEEN in the throne room in Chapter 4, when we have a dozen verses telling us that is where Jesus went to be. This is showing us a time while Jesus was on the earth. Since this book is the revealing of the SON, we MUST take notice that Jesus was NOT SEEN at the right hand of the father. God has given us a dozen verses telling us that Jesus went to sit at the right hand of the Father. Stephen SAW Him there. Why then, in a book of Christ's *revealing* did God show John a vision of the throne room with the leading character MISSING?

2. The Holy Spirit was SEEN in the throne room, showing us a time before Jesus ascended to send Him down. Remember, Jesus told His disciples that *He would send Him down as soon as He ascended.* Yet, in this vision, the Holy Spirit is there in the throne room, meaning, NOT YET sent down. (Not to worry—the Holy Spirit IS sent down in Chapter 5.)

3. Jesus was *NOT FOUND WORTHY to open the book in the first search* John watched. This shows us that Jesus had not yet risen from the dead. Without a doubt, written on the outside of the book, and visible, would be instructions as to WHO would be worthy to take the book and open the seals. My guess is, it would be the same One who sealed the book when it was created. Also, it seems it must be a MAN ("no man was found.") Again, my guess is, it had to be a man who could prevail over death.

4. JOHN WEPT MUCH. Why much? He wept until Jesus prevailed over death and then became worthy to open the book.

The next thing John saw in the vision was Jesus suddenly entering the throne room where He had been gone for 32 or so years. He ascended after sending Mary away, entered the throne room, sent down the Holy Spirit, and took the BOOK from the Father. WHEN? Around AD 32.

5:6 *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.*

5:7 *And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.*

No one can find 2000 years there, for that was not the intent of the Author. Jesus opened that first seal around AD 32 — *the very time He sent out the church with the gospel.*

The FIRST SEAL: represents the CHURCH sent out with the GOSPEL.

Seals 2, 3, 4: God has allowed the devil to use *WARS, FAMINES, and PESTILENCES* to try and stop the advance of the Gospel. *These three horsemen, the RED horse and rider, the BLACK horse and rider, and the PALE horse and rider were LIMITED in their theater of operations to only one fourth of the surface of the earth, * probably Europe, the Middle East and Africa—the very places where two world wars were fought, where famines have been common, and where the black plague hit again and again.

Since this was about the Red horse and rider, his job was to start wars in his attempt to stop the advance of the gospel. He, along with the black and pale horse riders were limited in their theater of operation to one fourth of the earth. History proves that in the time since Jesus rose from the dead, hardly a 20 year span of time has come and gone without some kind of a war or skirmish in Europe. Two world wars were fought in this one forth of the earth. I think Satan's plan was, when wars start, evangelism stops.

Seal 5 was probably opened in time for Stephen's murder, becoming one of the first murders and martyrs of the church age. They were crying out wondering how long they would have to wait for judgment to begin when their murders would be judged. In short, they were told they would have to wait for the FINAL MARTYR to be killed as they all were killed, in the same category, as church age martyrs.

In short, they will have to wait for the pre-tribulation rapture to END the church age, so judgment can begin. Therefore the rapture of the church must come AFTER the 5th seal.

The 6th seal begins the wrath of God, so the rapture must come BEFORE the 6th seal.
