Is ti weird to ask if you have a favourite horseman of the apocalypse? Dunno... do you?

[jaimeXDgo]

Great video. I think it's also worth mentioning that the horsemen being 4 isn't random; since the number 7 is considered to be something perfect, because it's the combination of 4 (a number with great value for the mortals since it reflects the 4 alchemical elements) and 3 (a number often representing divinities and deities, like in the very christianity). So the four horsemen could also be represented by the alchemical elements: Pestilence is the sea, because bad water is a main cause for sicknesess; war is fire, because it's commonly used as a weapon or as a derivative of using a weapon; famine is earth, because crops are harvested from the earth, fruits, and most animals too; and death would be air since it's often considered to be the highest element, closest to ether, representing that Death comands over the other three, and how the particular smell of death is distinctive to everyone instinctively, and it's carried by the wind.

Your voice and the way you narrated the video are relaxing. Thank you, subscribing!

Hi I absolutely love your content, please consider making more 20+ min videos, thanks

[jacobmohr]

I feel like famine should be renamed to a different, more all encompassing concept, like injustice, oppression, poverty, etc, something related to mass human suffering as a result of war

[catherinethegreatsgroceryasmr]

I like how you narrate Bible stories like it is mythology 😍

[christianchauhan]

I just ❤ 🖤the Red & Black Horsemans of Apocalypse & ❤ all your video's mate.

[jakabshaw]

0:44 has an awesome image where is it from

[Mngalahad]

if you use stone gaze on the angels that white and red rider summon, you can prevent them from doing anything during the fight without having them spawn more.

[JohnMelland]

Tribes in the US and around the world have red, white, black, yellow, and green. Thank you.

That “come and see” sounds so familiar😂

[lanabowers]

Here is the correct meaning. The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse are the 4 seasonal priests. The priests would teach in the Vestry House in Qumran. Each priest carried a banner signifying which season he taught in. The banner would be placed on the chair (horse) he taught from in the vestry house. The priest for Spring carried a green banner. He taught March, April and May. This was Atomus the Cypriot, the 'Gabriel' (Death). 'Hades' was Herod Antipas. The priest for Summer carried a white banner. He taught June, July and August. This was Theophilus. The priest for Autumn carried a red banner. He taught September, October and November. This was Ananus the Younger, the Samaritan. The priest for Winter carried a black banner. He taught December, January and February. This was Ananias the Samaritan, the Raphael. The time period of the 7 seals is from June 49AD to December 51AD & January 51AD. I hope this clarifies things.

The first horseman is the more fascinating one, because he's more mysterious. He seems to be a good guy, bringing peace since he doesn't have any arrows for the bow, but he is a soldier, and with war coming next, we can assume that the peace he brings is a false one, a very temporary one that's meant to deceive the public into supporting him, and giving them a false hope of good times. He rides into prominence as a knight in shining armor on the classic white horse, but the crown and the bow show that there's plenty of evidence that his real intent is to conquer and rule.

Ever since I discovered your channel (which is pretty awesome, thanks to YT's random suggestions) your voice seemed really familiar and I knew I heard it from a movie now I remembered!!😃 your voice has the same tone and sorta slight same accent with the narrator of the 1993 cartoon animation Snow White Happily Ever After.😀

I have been trying to remember where I heard your voice and it took me quite awhile to finally figure it out..haha oh well just want to put it out there..😊

Great videos btw!🥳 can't wait till the next upload..keep up the good work!👍🏻 subbie from the 🇵🇭

[jazzyjsky]

Do you think you could talk about the seven seals from this story

[jac]

They are preparing the 4th horse ( pale, green) to its full power, and then they will unleash the 4 horses, may the LORD have mercy on the good people and kids. Things are about to start, please believers stay strong in Christ, Jesus told us these things will happen so we can be prepared. Even though, glory to our Jesus Christ, because we shall never fear those who kill the flesh but who can kill the flesh and the soul.

If the four horsemen is indeed carrying a scythe and the dead is following the four horsemen then the fourth horsemen would likely be the death (grim reaper) himself and here why

Reason 1: what would be the outcome of all the conquering all the war and the famine it would be death

Reason 2: the grim reaper's sole duty is to collect the souls of those that have died and sending them to the next life which in case is Hades the fourth horsemen would be collecting the souls from the bodies that he passes which have died from either the conquering the war or the famine while sending them to Hades and the body would then follow the fourth horsemen

Reason 3: the grim reaper is the embodiment of death itself why would the dead follow the fourth horsemen unless the fourth horsemen is the embodiment of death which would result as the grim reaper being the fourth horsemen

[shawnlee]

Abaddon and the 4 horseman are gonna wreck the population…

They are 5 angels

There are seals placed atm preventing them from exiting their location in which they are at…Abaddon guards the bottomless pit “also known as hell which is at the very bottom, its where satan was sealed by Abaddon after Michael(another angel) defeated Satan).

Revelation 6 Explained :


Many people automatically assume that the one Paul call the son of perdition in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, is the one on a white horse ; that had a bow ; and a crown was given to him : and he went forth conquering and to conquer .


We must read all that is being said, and keep everything in it's proper context .



JOHN SAID THAT HE SAW THE LAMB TAKE THE BOOK OUT OF THE RIGHT HAND OF HIM THAT SIT ON THE THRONE IN REVELATION 5 ; WHICH IS THE FATHER .


REVELATION 5:6-7, " 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.
7And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.



IN REVELATION 1, JOHN SAID THAT HE WAS IN THE SPIRIT ON THE LORD'S DAY .


QUESTION ! WHAT LORD AND WHAT LORD'S DAY ?


PSALM 110 :1, " 1.(A Psalm of David.) The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.


DAVID IS TALKING ABOUT TWO LORDS ; THE FATHER AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST .


QUESTION ! WHEN IS THE LORD'S DAY ?


FOR JESUS CHRIST, IT IS WHEN HE REIGNS OVER THIS EARTH FOR 1000 YEARS, then the great white throne judgment .


Zechariah 14:1-9, " 1.Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

2For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

3Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

4And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

5And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

6And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

7But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

8And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

9And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.


The Lord's day of the Messiah Jesus Christ is the day of rest ; the Sabbath is a foreshadow of the day of rest for the people of God .



Hebrews 4:1-9, " 1.Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

5And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

6Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

7Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

8For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

9There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.



JESUS CHRIST WILL RETURN AND REIGN OVER THIS EARTH FOR 1000 YEARS ; THE DAY OF REST, OR THE SEVENTH DAY ; WHICH IS THE SABBATH .



REMEMBER : 2 PETER 3:8, " 8.But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.



WHEN YOU GO BACK AND READ THE SCRIPTURES, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT MAN HAST BE GIVEN SEVEN DAYS OR SEVEN THOUSAND YEARS ;THE EIGHT DAY BEGINS THE FATHER'S KINGDOM AFTER THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT ; which is the end of the seventh day .



Revelation 20:1-9, " 1.And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

3And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

7And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

9And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

FOR THE FATHER, ON THE EIGTH DAY ; AFTER THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT AND THE CREATION OF THE NEW EARTH ; WHEN THE FATHER BRINGS DOWN NEW JERUSALEM TO THE NEW EARTH .


2 PETER 3:12-13, " 12.Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.


Revelation 21:1-5, " 1.And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.



THE APOSTLE JOHN WAS TAKEN IN THE SPIRIT TO THE FATHER'S KINGDOM, ON THE NEW EARTH IN NEW JERUSALEM .


THE ENDING FROM THE BEGINNING ; LIKE A STORY OF A BOOK, WHICH STARTS AT THE END ; WITH REFLECTIONS OF THE PAST UNTIL THE COMPLETION OF THE STORY .


THE ANGEL, TALKING FOR THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST ; TELLS JOHN THIS :


IN REVELATION 1:19, " 19.Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;


THE THINGS WHICH THOU HAST SEEN ( THE PAST ), AND THE THINGS WHICH ARE ( PRESENT ), AND THE THINGS WHICH SALL BE HEREAFTER ( FUTURE ) .
