Part 4 of 5 – Islam in Bible Prophecy - The 4 Horsemen

Equipping God's Saints (Followers of Christ) through the Prophecies of the End Times ...

We have learned that the Four Horsemen in the Book of Revelation represents spirits. Zechariah 6:5 tells us that these four horses are four spirits that go into all the earth. We learned that the Red Spirit, is Communism, the Black Spirit is Capitalism, and the White Spirit is Catholicism.

We will now learn the identity of the Fourth Horse and the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse. 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't 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 used 6 other times in the Bible. Mark 6:39 says:

“And He commanded them to all sit down by companies upon the 'CHLOROS' [translated as 'GREEN'] grass.”

Revelation 8:7 it says:

“And all CHLOROS [translated as 'GREEN'] grass was burnt up.”

Revelation 9:4 says:

“And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any CHLOROS [translated as 'GREEN'] thing.”

Finally, looking at Revelation 6:8 it states:

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

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! Its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed with him; they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, famine, and pestilence, and by the wild animals (or bestial men) of the earth.”

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

In that light, using the translation as “Green”, let's look at this horse again. Is there a Green Spirit?

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 the 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 that 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 the 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.

We are learning that there is another belief system, Islamism, along with Catholicism, Communism and Capitalism. 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 from 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 of 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.

Young suicide bombers are taught if they die for Allah, they will go straight to Paradise. This is the exact opposite of what the Bible teaches. The Bible says,

“...All murderers will have their part in the lake of fire...”

What is the depiction here? The Green Horse, the rider is Death, and what follows? HELL, NOT PARADISE, BUT HELL.

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 Bible says that Hell followed behind.
