HE HAS RISEN!!  Wishing you all a very Happy Easter. Rejoice with me as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

I will return Monday, April 1st with Part 1 of World War III. I promise you it is not an April Fool's joke. You won't want to miss it.

Did you miss it? Did you miss your Messiah? Good News! It's not too late!

Happy Easter! Let us rejoice as we remember the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Equipping God's Saints (Believers of Christ) through the prophecies of the End Times …

You ever wonder why the “3 days in the tomb” don't add up from Good Friday to Sunday being Christ's Resurrection Day? Good Friday is a day created by the Roman Catholic Religion as the day of Christ's crucifixion.

Scripture is very clear telling us Jesus Christ died on the day of Preparation, which was the day before Passover, and rise again on the third day, which happened to be the first day of the week, Sunday. So, He was actually crucified and buried on Wednesday in order to be off the cross and buried before sundown of the preparation day. Sundown would start the Passover.

Even though it is important to know Christ was crucified the day before Passover, it doesn't matter if it was Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Let us rejoice in our salvation through Jesus Christ.

If you don't know Christ as your Savior, I compel you to make a decision. Watch the news. Follow this blog or others who are revealing that we are currently living in the end times. Time is running out. The signs are all proving that Christ's Second Return is close at hand. If you have accepted Christ as your Savior, you are saved from Hell and will spend eternity reigning with Christ. If you have not accepted Him as your Savior, you will be cast into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

We are living in a very exciting time. As we unfold the prophecies in the Bible over the next days and weeks you will realize we are now living in the end times. Our job as believers is to go out into all the world and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. His wish is that none perish, no, not one.

If you have not accepted Christ as your Savior, I encourage you to not wait a minute longer. Come with me, if you will, and take a personal journey down Romans Road:
Admit you are a sinner.
Understand that as a sinner, you deserve death.
Believe Jesus Christ died on the cross to save you from sin and death.
Repent by turning from your old life of sin to a new life in Christ.
Receive, through faith in Jesus Christ, his free gift of salvation.

Walk along the Romans Road to Salvation ...

1.  Everyone needs salvation because we have all sinned.

Romans 3:10-12, and 23
As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” ... For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. (NLT)

2.  The price (or consequence) of sin is death.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (NLT)

3.  Jesus Christ died for our sins. He paid the price for our death.

Romans 5:8
But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (NLT)

4.  We receive salvation and eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.

Romans 10:9-10, and 13
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved ... For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (NLT)

5.  Salvation through Jesus Christ brings us into a relationship of peace with God.

Romans 5:1
Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. (NLT)

Romans 8:1
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. (NLT)

Romans 8:38-39
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NLT)

Responding to Romans Road

Dear Lord,
I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don’t please you. I have lived my life for myself. I am sorry and I repent. I ask you to forgive me. I believe that you died on the cross for me, to save me. You did what I could not do for myself. I come to you now and ask you to take control of my life, I give it to you. Help me to live every day in a way that pleases you. I love you, Lord, and I thank you that I will spend all eternity with you.

Amen.

Welcome to the Family of God!

Prophecies in your Bible are actually unfolding in your news, Today!

Equipping God's Saints (Believers of Christ) through the prophecies of the End Times …

Today I want to sound the alarm and make you aware of the astounding prophecies in your Bible that are literally unfolding TODAY.

Obama's trip was really played down, but it was really quite an event. Huge decisions were taken and promises of quick action were made. Here is a summary of the results of President Obama's trip to the Middle East:

First, the USA promised to resume aid to the Palestinian Authority. Since the Palestinians went to the United Nations against our will and applied for non-member State recognition, the USA has been withholding payments from them. This put Palestine to the border of bankruptcy. During this trip, USA has agreed to resume payment to the Palestinians. It was announced that Israel was also going to resume payments to the Palestinian Authority. This is huge because Israel collects taxes from the Palestinian people living in the borders of Israel and gives them to the Palestinians. This is direly needed revenue.

Furthermore, President Mahmoud Abbas, the State of Palestine President, has announced he will not go to the International Criminal Court to file charges against Israel for 2 months.

What's interesting about all this is John

Kerry, US Secretary of State, announced this past Sunday, 3/24/13, that he will present a peace plan in 2 months.

Interesting that they both named the same time frame so it's obvious that John Kerry intends to move very rapidly on this.

A peace deal between Palestinians and Israelis with the backing of the international community will be probably the largest prophetic fulfillment since the crucifixion and ressurection of Jesus Christ. This is THE EVENT that will mark the FINAL 7 years to the battle of Armageddon. It will mark the beginning of the 3 ½ years before the revealing of the Antichrist and the advent of the Mark of the Beast. When this prophecy comes to pass, this is going to be huge.

Following is taking this news into full details and explanations:

One of the last things that President Obama achieved before he left Israel was to serve as a mediator between Prime Minister of Israel, Mr. Netanyahu and the Prime Minister of Turkey, Mr. Erdogan. They have been on the outs ever since the boarding of the ship where 9 Turkish activists were killed by Israeli soldiers. They had severed diplomatic relations. Turkey had been insisting for 3 years that Israel apologize. Israel has never apologized for defending her borders because they have a blockade against Gaza and say, “Nothing comes in there that we don't first of all inspect.” They would let it through as long as it was ok, but “we're not going to let you take things into Gaza if you're bringing in rockets or ammunition...” They have intercepted some ships that were absolutely loaded with bombs, rockets and all kinds of weaponry. Turkey took great offense to this and were trying to run the blockade. Israel has a right to inforce her blockade, according to international law. But, because when the boarded the ship, there was hostilities that commenced and 9 Turkish activists died. Israel finally apologized on the runway just before President Obama boarded Air Force One and left the nation of Israel. Because of this, diplomatic relations will be restored between Israel and Turkey.

Only since the Palestinians became a recognized state from the UN do they now have access to file charges against other nations before the International Criminal Court (ICC). President Mahmoud Abbas, the State of Palestine President, told President Obama he will not go to the ICC to file charges against Israel for 2 months in hopes that the US can convince Israel to freeze settlement construction as a precondition for relaunching peace talks. He added, however, that, should Israel follow through on plans to build in the E1 Corridor between Jerusalem and Ma'ale Adumim (which Israel may do) that Abbas will turn to the ICC. He continued to say that the US had released nearly $500 million in aid to the Palestinian Authority in recent weeks. The US Congress had held up the aid to the Palestinians in the aftermath of the PA's unilateral actions at the UN.

The same Palestinians that said they will not go before the ICC for 2 months said in an article entitled “PA Official: Kerry Will Present Plan Of Action In 2 Months: The US pushed for finding a solution to the Middle East problem between Palestinians and Israelis has begun.” The article also said, “The US administration will, in the next 2 months, present a plan of action to the 2 sides for the next political steps, he added. He claimed that if Israel haulted all Jewish construction in the area and recognized the pre-1967 borders, it could lead to an immediate resumption of talks.”

President Obama made the point in his speech that, if you put all these preconditions on talks, why do we even need talks? If we do all these preconditions, than what is there to talk about? There is nothing to talk about.

In Obama's speech, he stressed a point he has previously neglected. He said that we understand there is a connection between the land of Israel and the Jewish people.

It is important to understand the USA's position in stating that Israel is here to stay. Israel is not going anywhere. President Obama is saying Israel has the mightiest nation on earth at their back and we will not let them be wiped off the map. We're going to make sure you (Israel) are secure.

Now, let's get onto what your future state is going to look like. This makes it appear that President Obama wants to look at what sort of state is to be desired. By this question, Obama is referring to the danger of defining Israel as a Jewish and Democratic state in light of the growing Palestinian population in the west bank and continued occupation.

Obama defined Israel as a Jewish state. Abbas has never been willing to say it's a Jewish state because he has dreams of there being such a large, Palestinian minority, that soon they will be able to out-vote the Jews. Then there would be an Arab Prime Minister of Israel. Obama said if you absorb all these Jews and you adopt all this territory and you don't draw a border between the Jewish part of the state and the Arab part of the state, they're going to pass you soon and there will be no Jewish state -OR- If there is a Jewisth state, you will have to go away from democracy because if you allow all your citizens to vote, the Arabs will out-vote you. This is one of the big arguments of the 2 State Solution. Abbas objects to this 2 State Solution and calls it racism.

This 2 State Solution is not God's answer! God's answer is: “When I bring you into the land I promised to your Father, Abraham, you are to utterly drive out the inhabitants thereof.”

If Israel would have done that in the 1967 war, they would have none of the problems they have today. But, they didn't, so they do have the problems and went straight toward what the Bible prophecies is going to happen.

So now the question is:

Where will all these things unltimately lead?

The Bible teaches us what's going to happen. There are apparently going to be provisional borders between Israel and the Palestinian state, and they will apparently agree. They are also going to decide to deal with the Temple Mount as a sharing place between Muslims and Jews. The Temple Mount, that 35 acres, where the Muslims say they must worship there at the Dome of the Rock and the Jews say this is their Holiest Place and they must worship there. Consequently, there is going to be a deal struck, they are going to share the Temple Mount under the supervision of international control.

As far as Jerusalem goes, it appears it will not be settled and it appears it will be put off until later because they just cannot come to an agreement. Netanyahu apparently will not agree to redivide Jerusalem and the Palestinians will not agree to a permanent settlement that does not give East Jerusalem as their capital. Since they cannot come to an agreement they have decided to do this for probably 7 years because the Bible says the Antichrist will confirm the covenant with many for 7 years. In 7 years they will come back to the table and try to solve the Jerusalem problem. For now they have apparently decided that Netanyahu would agree to such an agreement, the Palestinians would have their state now, the Jews would be able to worship on the Temple Mount now and they would even build their Temple at one end of the Temple Mount. So it appears there will be a time of peace for a while.

But, when the issue of Jerusalem comes back up, Israel will say sorry this is our eternal capital and we can never let it go and that will unltimately prompt the invasion of Israel by the international community. Zechariah 14:2 says:

“I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle...”

As the battle over the Temple Mount continues, there will be animal sacrifices being offered because they are training their young priests for the time when they will have their Temple on the Temple Mount.

Folks, time is getting shorter. If you have not made your decision to accept Jeusu Christ as your Lord and Savior, you're running out of time. God is revealing His prophecies to us. He put them in the Bible so we could understand and be prepared for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Next, we will get to the teachings of World War III.

Part 4 - The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Equipping God's Saints (Believers of Christ) through the prophecies of the End Times …

We have determined that the Red Horse, or Red Spirit, is Communism, the Black Horse or Black Spirit is Capitalism, and the White Horse or White Spirit is Catholicism. We will now learn the identity of the Pale Horse, or the Pale Spirit. Revelation 6:7-8 says:

“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.”

Many think the Pale Horse is simply Death, and Hell follows with it. The sooner a person dies, the less chance they have of being saved, the greater the odds of them going to Hell. The problem is, the other 3 Horses are Spirits of Catholicism, Communism, Capitalism, and now Death? That just does not make sense. It doesn't fit. What are we missing?

When studying, we see that the original Greek word translated 'PALE' is 'CHLOROS', which translates from Greek to mean 'GREEN', such as in Chlorophyl.

Studying the original Greek word 'CHLOROS' further, we find it in Mark 6:39 where it says:

“And He commanded them to all sit down by companies upon the 'CHLOROS' grass.”

Here it is translated as 'GREEN'.

In Revelation 8:7 it says:

“And all CHLOROS grass was burnt up.”

This is translated GREEN.

Revelation 9:4 says:

“And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any CHLOROS thing.” This is also translated GREEN.

Finally, looking at Revelation 6:8 it states:

“And I looked, and behold a CHLOROS horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.”

This was translated PALE.

Every other time CHLOROS was translated GREEN, so why was it translated PALE here? They teach you to use good, common sense when translating foreign languages. We don't have GREEN horses. As the translator thinks about this, he tries to make the translation make sense. In Thayer's Greek Dictionary, CHLOROS defines as

1. Green
2. Yellowish Pale

In Revelation 6:8 of the New Revised Standard version of the Bible it states:

“I looked and there was a PALE GREEN horse! ...”

This translation was closer to the proper translation of the word than the King James version.

With that being said, let's look at this horse again. With the belief systems of Catholicism, Communism and Capitalism having the official colors of White, Red, and Black, is there a belief system whose official color is GREEN?

An article was written by Daniel Pipes titled Militant Islam Reaches America. Within that article the following statement was found:

“The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 prompted loose talk about Islam replacing Marxism-Leninism (or Communism) as the West's necessary enemy. In symbolic terms, it was said that Green (Islam's color) had replaced Red (Communisms color) in the West's Rogues Gallery.”

Note that this article appears exactly that way it was written. I did not supply any additional text as my personal thoughts. The comments in parenthesis were exactly the way it was written in the article. This was not a prophecy article. This was not a spiritual article. This was strictly a political article.

Here it is clearly said the fear we have had for Marxism (the Red Power) for years is now being replaced by the fear of Islam (the Green Power).

If you look them up, you will see that many of the flags of Islamic Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Flag of Islam are predominantly green.

Should you visit the Temple Mount you would see the wrought iron fence is painted green that is around the fountain where the Muslim worshipers wash their hands, face and feet before they go into worship. You would see much of the wrought iron all over the Temple Mount is painted green. You would see many of the doors and gates, including the door to the entrance of the Temple Mount, are all painted green.

In 2007, the top part of our own Empire State Building was all lit up in green during the month of Ramadan that year. They officially said they are doing this in respect to Islam.

The rest of the prophecy says:

“The rider on the back of the Green Horse was Death...”

Could this be as in suicide bomber? The religion of the suicide bombers is Islam.

The religion of Islam is actually a culture of death. Islam glorifies death. They teach their children for the time they are 2 years old that the highest thing they can do with their life is to become a martyr for Allah, a martyr for Islam. In return for martyrdom, they are promised immediate access to Paradise and the attentions 72 dark-eyed beautiful virgins. Parents are very proud of their children and are honored if they become martyrs for Allah. If their child dies as Shahid (a suicide bomber), they celebrate and have big parties. Muslims are taught that the only way to be assured of their salvation is to be a martyr for Allah.

This is the exact opposite of what the Bible teaches. The Bible says that all murderers will have their part in the lake of fire.

Continuing with what the prophecy says, it states

“The rider is Death, and HELL follows”

What a disappointment it is going to be for Muslims. If you or I kill someone, we can't expect to wake up in eternal life like it is being taught by the Muslim religion. Instead, the prophecy says that Hell followed behind.

The prophecy also says that this Green Horse Spirit will have

“power over the fourth part of the earth”

It is estimated that 1.3 to 1.8 billion people on earth today are Muslims. The population of the earth is 6.8 billion, so this is ¼ of the earth's population.

Power was given to the Green Spirit to kill with the sword and with hunger. Muslims also love killing by beheadings and take pride in this. 96% of Muslims are from Africa and South Asia. These are the most poverty stricken, hunger afflicted parts of the world.

So the question is …

Is this the time of the Green Horse era, now? Scripture tells us each one of these Horseman are the first 4 Seals and that the prophecy of the Green Horse occurs in the 4^th Seal. The 5^th Seal is the Great Tribulation. The 4^th Seal era, the rise, the ressurection of Islam is supposed to occur right before the Great Tribulation. As you understand the prophecies of the Bible, you will see that we are approaching the time of the Great Tribulation right now.

In these lessons we have learned that:

• Seal #1 = White Horse = Catholicism
• Seal #2 = Red Horse = Communism
• Seal #3 = Black Horse = Capitalism
• Seal #4 = Pale Green Horse = Islam

Next, we will be discussing another major event that is supposed to take place before the Great Tribulation. It also has ties into Islam. Revelation 9:13-18 talks about a war that kills one-third of human race. This war is to start from the area of the Euphrates River. The Euphrates River starts in Turkey, flows down through Syria, and flows all the way through Iraq emptying into the Persian Gulf. This is so interesting because every inch of the Euphrates River is an Islamic river. It is controlled by Islam. And where is the fighting taking place today? The USA has 145,000 troups stationed along the Euphrates River.

Many people believe that the Euphrates River war is in progress right now. Many world leaders say we are actually in World War III but we don't know it yet.

What does this all mean? It means the Spirit of Islam is rising again.

Next we will discuss World War III as it is prophesied in your Bible.

Part 3 - The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Equipping God's Saints (Believers of Christ) through the prophecies of the End Times …

We have determined that the Red Horse, or Red Spirit, is Communism and the Black Horse or Black Spirit is Capitalism. We will now look at the White Horse, or the White Spirit. This Spirit took a while to figure out, but then it started being revealed through various scholars. Mr Paul Blanchard wrote a book titled “Communism, Democracy and Catholic Power”. Now remember the Red Horse or Spirit is Communism and the Black Horse or Spirit is Capitalism or Democracy. Why would he be coupling Catholicism with these two Spirits? Another thing to note is this book is not a religious or prophecy book, but a political science book. In this book Mr. Blanchard contended that these are the 3 powers, the belief systems that control what nations do; what individuals do. Here is the way he said it:

“Almost every conflict between nations in modern history has been produced by conflicts among three powers: Communism, Democracy and Catholicism.”

Is there a chance that Catholicism could be the White Horse, or White Spirit or Power?

There is another book called The Keys Of This Blood with a subtitle of The Struggle For World Dominion Between Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev & The Capitalist West written by one of the foremost Roman Catholic writers of the 20^th century, Malachi Martin. In the first chapter of this book he says:

“The question is not is there going to be a world government? That's a settled issue, all nations are now interdependent. The only question is who will rule the coming One World Government?”

He went on to say:

“There are three and only three geopolitical powers with the necessary doctrine and structure to rule a world government – Communism, Catholicism and Capitalism.”

This all causes us to want to prove if White has anything to do with Catholicism.

Interestingly, there are a few things: It is the tradition in the Catholic Church that the Pope normally dresses in White. Most every time you see him, he is dressed in White. Also, the Pope's helicopter is White. The bullet proof vehicle that the Pope rides in for parades and public appearances is White. The jet airplane that is provided for the Pope for his travels around the world is White. If the Pope had a Horse, what color do you think it would be? White.

The prophecy in Revelation 6 also says that the rider carries a bow but he is not shooting arrows. He carries a weapon but is not shooting live ammunition.

Then it says a crown was given unto him. The Popes never work crowns until around 960 AD. Pope Gregory may have been the first Pope to wear a crown. We still have that crown on display in the Vatican today.

With all these things being said, we realize that it all matches up with the prophecy. We have learned that the same geo-political powers that are referred to by Paul Blanchard in his book and Malachi Martin in his book have the colors of White, Red and Black. We have also learned that the prophecies given to us twice, once in Zechariah 6:1-8 and again in Revelation 6:1-8 use the same colors of Horses. Furthermore, if the White Horse is Catholicism, the Red Horse is Communism and the Black Horse is Capitalism, all 3 of these being major belief systems of the world, it shows us that these Seals have been opened for a long time. A lot of people believe that these Seals will only be opened during the final 7 years, but if this is true, than the belief that the Seals will only be opened during the final 7 years doesn't hold water. We know that Catholicism became an official religion around 300 AD and we know that Communism with Karl Marx writing his Communist Manifesto in the 1850s and we know that Capitalism has been a powerful force.

From this we have learned that the & Seals are the long story ending at Armageddon, the 7 Trumpets are the shorter story ending at Armageddon, and the 7 Vials are the real short story ending at Armageddon. One of the things that is going to be really critical as we move through this study is that the end time government of the Antichrist is depicted in Revelation 17, and the government is painted RED. That tells us that the One-World government of the Antichrist (the End Time) is going to be Socialistic or Communistic. Right now we are watching that coming to pass. Recently Newsweek Magazine stated “We Are All Socialists Now”. There are many articles being written now about Capitalism being dead, Free Enterprise being dead, that we are moving into a Global Socialist world-wide society.

We had to talk about the Red Horse, the Black Horse, and the White Horse to show that God was talking about belief systems.

Next we will see what the PALE Horse is all about, what is this “Islam” and what does the Bible prophesy for it, and what to expect in the near future. This is more important than any other question because the prophecies of the Bible always come to pass in the most minute detail.

Part 2 - The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Equipping God's Saints (Believers of Christ) through the prophecies of the End Times …

We have determined that the Red Horse, or Red Spirit, is Communism. We will now look at the Black Horse, or the Black Spirit. Is there a belief system, another Spirit in the world today, perhaps even the counterpart to Communism? Actually there is. All during the Cold War over the last 60 years we've been in a contest between Capitalism and Communism.

The rider of the Black Horse does not carry a sword, but carries a pair of balances. Balances symbolize Trade and Commerce. That's what makes Capitalism go. It's free enterprise. That's the whole Spirit that motivates Capitalism. In Revelation 6:6 we read:

“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.”

This almost sounds like a prophetic stock market report. In a Capitalist country, everything pivots on the economy. Don't hurt the oil and wine means Don't hurt the economy. If you do, people of a Capitalist country will put you out of office.

Time Magazine – December 9, 1966 stated the following about the very heated election in Germany:

“A grand coalition of the two major parties – The Christian Democrats and the Social Democrats – That have bitterly fought each other for years. A Union of Black and Red, It was a marriage of convenience, but a stunning match nonetheless.”

This was America's way of distinguishing the symbolism of Black for Capitalism and Red for Communism or Socialism.

Almighty God knew this over 2000 years ago and He used these colors of these horses to talk to us about the powers that would exist in the world during the end times – during the time of the prophetic fulfillment.

Next is the White Horse – the White Spirit.

Part 1 - The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Equipping God's Saints (Believers of Christ) through the prophecies of the End Times …

The 9/11 bombings of the World Trade Towers brought the world's attention to the Islams. Before that tragedy, very few of us knew very little about the Islam religion.

Mecca, Saudi Arabia is the center of Islam in the world. Every Muslim in the world attempts to make the trek to Mecca at least once in their lifetime. This is the heartland of Mohammed, the prophet who wrote the Quran, which is the Holy Book of the Islamic Religion. We are going to discover that Islam is in your Bible.

Islam means submission. A Muslim is an adherent to the religion of Islam. It is claimed that there are approximately 1.3 to 1.8 billion muslims in the world today. We are going to give absolute proof that God prophesied about Islam 600 years before Islam ever existed. The prophecy is a very familiar prophecy of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. We are now going to learn what these 4 Horsemen are all about.

The Book of Revelation has a skeletal structure of 3 groups of 7:

• 7 Seals
• 7 Trumpets
• 7 Vials

The 4 Horsemen are the first 4 seals of the 7 seals. It is important to note that Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, is the One opening these seals. Revelation 6:1-2 states:

“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts [these beasts are cherubim according to Ezekiel] saying, come and see. And I saw, and behold a WHITE horse; and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”

(Note: The colors of the horses are important)

Looking at Horse #2, Revelation 6:3-4 states:

“And when He had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, come and see. And there went out another horse that was RED: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another; and there was given unto him a great sword.”

For Horse #3, Revelation 6:5-6 says:

“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.”

And for the final horse, Horse #4, Revelation 6:7-8 says:

“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.”

This prophecy is also given to us in Zechariah 6:1-8, which was written about 600 years prior to the prophecy in Revelation. Zechariah saw the same color of horses, but he saw them pulling chariots. The interesting part is Zechariah 6 actually tells us what these horses symbolize. Zechariah 6:4-5 says:

“Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these my Lord? And the angel answered and said unto me, these are the four spirits of the heavens which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.”

This tells us the Four Horsemen are Four Spirits. What does this mean? We'll take them one by one:

Is there a Spirit in the world today that could be the “Red Spirit”? Yes. There is an international spirit that influences what people believe, that influences how people live, what they even do. It is officially the “Red Spirit”. You've heard of it as Red China, Red Russia, Red Romania. It's Communism. The official color of Communism is Red. This is a Spirit that infects the psyche of a person; what they believe, what their value system is, what they love, what they fight for. Communism is a huge movement. Communism is a belief system.

We are going to learn that each of these Four Horsemen represent a major belief system in our world today.

Revelation 6:3-4 continues to describe the Red Horse:

“...and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth,...”

Communism has taken peace from the earth. We have had Communist Revolutions in Germany, Korea, Viet Nam, The Congo. Everywhere the Communists take over it's always been by revolution. This gives them the power to take peace from the earth. Revelation 6:3-4 goes on to say:

“and that they should kill one another; and there was given unto him a great sword.”

This means they will not only fight their enemies, but there is a lot of “in-fighting” in the world of Communism. For example, Stalin killed 20 million Russians during his reign. When the Chinese were taken over by the Communists in 1949, from then until now – 60 short years, 60 million killed in Communist China.

The prophecy also states that there was given unto him a great sword. Can you imagine fighting the military of Russia and China at the same time?

The flag of the Soviet Union is a red flag with the hammer and sickle. Red is the official color of Communism or Socialism. Communism is the political ideology and Socialism is the economic system. They work hand in hand.

Almight God said one of the belief systems that will dominate in the end times is the Red power; the power of Communism.

Next is the Black Horse – the Black Spirit.

Part 4:  USA in the Bible and the 4 Beasts of Daniel

Equipping God's Saints (Believers of Christ) through the prophecies of the End Times …

We are currently analyzing the Beasts in Daniel 7. We have learned:

1. A Beast always represents a Kingdom or a Nation along with the Ruler of that Kingdom or Nation.
2. All these nations will be on earth at the time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

We have determined that:

1. The Lion with Eagle's Wings = Great Britain and the Wings are the United States of America.
2. The Bear = Russia
3. The Leopard with 4 Heads = Germany and the Wings are France.

We will now look at the last Beast, which may be the most important. Daniel 7:7 states:

“Behold a fourth Beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly: and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it... and it had ten horns.”

First we look at the 10 Horns. Daniel 7:24 states:

“ and the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first and he shall subdue three kings.”

Here we have One Nation or Kingdom, but 10 Kings. This appears to be an alliance or a federation of sorts. We learn more about this in Revelation 17:12 where it states:

“and the ten horns which thou sawest are the ten kings which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.”

The beast it is referring to here is the Last Day Dictator, the Antichrist. These are 10 kings that will subjugate themselves to the power of the Antichrist and support him.

One hour does not necessarily mean 60 minutes. This is a figure of speech meaning a very short time. In a very short time, they will give their power to the Antichrist. It continues to say in Revelation 17:13-14:

“These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb. The Lamb will overcome them; for He is Lord of Lords, and Kings of Kings: and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”

This tells us the 10 Kings will continue to rule with the Antichrist all the way to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and when Jesus comes back they are actually going to fight against Him. This is depicting the battle of Armageddon.

One more thing about the 10 Horns that will help us know who they are. In Daniel 2:44 it refers to these last 10 Kings but it symbolizes them in a totally different way. This is at the end of the Daniel Image prophecy where he sees the Head of Gold, Arms and Breast of Silver, Belly and Thighs of Brass, Legs of Iron, and Feet of Iron mingled with Clay. The Feet of Iron mingled with Clay depict the Holy Roman Empire born in 800 AD and the Legs of Iron are the Roman Empire.

Notice the 10 Toes on the Feet are also Iron mingled with Clay. Daniel 2:44 refers to these 10 Toes as the same 10 Kings that are going to make war with Jesus Christ when He comes by stating:

“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom...: and the kingdom shall not be left to the other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.”

From this verse we know that the 10 Toes are the same as the 10-Horned Kingdom and will be the revival of the Holy Roman Empire from Europe.

You need to know that the Holy Roman Empire is being reborn right now. The Holy Roman Empire has always ruled in the area of Europe. Germany is almost always the heart of it. France is usually involved. Italy is always there. Most of the time in the Holy Roman Empire it has been a political leader from Europe and a spiritual leader every time from Italy, from the Vatican. They have all put their power together to establish the Holy Roman Empire.

A lot of people think that the Holy Roman Empire ceased to exist in 1806 AD. That it true. It did temporarily. But the Bible prophecies that it will be in existance at the time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The 10 Toes of Iron mingled with clay / 10 Horns are going to be the power base of the Antichrist.

The Holy Roman Empire is being reborn right now. With the Common Market in 1957 and then the European Union in 1993, Europe has now gone together. 27 nations have now joined together. They have 500 million people. They are totally unified economically. They now have one money, the Euro. They are soon to have a European President of their own.

So you are watching the rebirth of the Holy Roman Empire. From that rebirth will emerge the Antichrist and the False Prophet.

Now back to Daniel 7:24, it further states:

“...and another king shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.”

This is a special sign as to the identity of the Antichrist. He is going to come up, he's going to uproot 3 kings, and he is going to become very great. He, himself, will become the Antichrist.

Notice in Daniel 7:21-22 it says,

“I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; until the Ancient of days came, and judgement was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.”

You're seeing here the Great Tribulation. The Great Tribulation begins 3 ½ years before the battle of Armageddon and it continues until the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Notice one more thing. Daniel 7:23 states:

“Thus he said, the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down.”

This is a prophecy of a One-World Governmental System. There is a One-World Government under the guise of Globalization forming right now. You are watching the birth of the one-world order, the One-World Government. This will wind up devouring the whole world.

That's the bad news. The good news is Daniel 7:27:

“And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the

whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High.”

How it will happen is the Antichrist will launch his last envasion of the nation of Israel called Armageddon. Zechariah 14:2 says:

“For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle.”

They will fight down through the nation of Israel. It will look like Israel will be wiped off the map just like many people have called for recently. And just when it looks like all is lost... the Bible says:

The Lord, Himself will decend from heaven with a shout; with the voice of the archangel and the trump of God!! That is when Jesus Christ will return and the Antichrist will be put down. We will crown Jesus Christ King of Kings and Lord of Lords and the saints (us who believe in Christ) will reign with Him forever and ever.

Next, we will discuss the 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse.

Part 3:  USA in the Bible and the 4 Beasts of Daniel

Equipping God's Saints (Believers of Christ) through the prophecies of the End Times ...

We are currently analyzing the Beasts in Daniel 7. We have learned:

1. A Beast always represents a Kingdom or a Nation along with the Ruler of that Kingdom or Nation.
2. All these nations will be on earth at the time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

We have determined that:

1. The Lion with Eagle's Wings = Great Britain and the Wings are the United States of America.
2. The Bear = Russia

Today we will discuss the Leopard with 4 Heads and the 10-Horned Beast.

The Leopard with 4 Heads is found in Daniel 7:6 and was a little more difficult for us to understand:

“After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wIngs of a fowl; the beast had also four heads: and dominion was given to it.”

The Leopard is one of the animal symbols for Germany. Officially Germany uses the black eagle as its national symbol but interestingly Germany, when it was allowed to begin re-arming in the 1960's, chose to name its tank the “Leopard”. To this day Germany still produces the Leopard Tank 2^nd Generation. This tank is the #1 tank and makes up the heart of the armies of NATO.

The prophecy also states that “...dominion was given to the leopard...”

There is one nation that has started the last 3 major wars.

1. Franco-German War – 1870
2. World War I – 1914-1918
3. World War II – 1939-1945

In addition, Newsweek, April 9, 1984 carried this article called “The German Malady”. It stated:

“Since the time of Charlemagne [he is the founder of the Holy Roman Empire in 800 AD], the area that is now Germany has been the pivot of european history. In the past 120 years the Germans have dominated Europe intellectually, industrially, and militarily.”

The prophecy states that this Leopard has 4 heads. The “Beast” represents the nation or ruler of the nation. The “number of heads” represents how many times this nation will rise and fall as a nation. We know this because in Revelation 17 it tells us there is a 7 headed Beast and it says there are 7 kings – 5 are fallen, 1 is, and 1 is not yet come.

The “4 heads” fits Germany because we have the First Reich (Reich means Kingdom), the Second Reich, Hitler's famous Third Reich, and the Fourth Reich which is right now rising.

The final issue about this Leopard is that it has on its back 4 wings of a Fowl. You will recall that the Lion had the wings of the Eagle, which represented the USA. There is, indeed, a nation whose symbol is the Rooster or Fowl. The nation of France's official symbol is the Rooster.

Ever since World War II, Germany and France have formed the Franco-German Alliance and have worked together to rebuild Europe.

With this, we have determined that the 3^rd Beast – The Leopard = Germany and the Wings on the Leopard = France

Next we will analyze the 4^th Beast.
