Revelation ch 6:1-8

We are now going to be looking into the seven seals. The seven seals are not in chronological order but placed by importance to us (what we should know, teaching order). It is very important to note this fact so we can better understand what our Father is telling us and trying to teach us.

Ch. 6

First Seal

6:1 it doesn’t say they are hidden or secret but rather to come and see. The Lamb of God has opened the seal so we can see it.

6:2 (compare: Matt 24:4-5, Mark 13:5-6, Luke 21:8). Bow G 5115; fabrication, a bow (as the simplest of fabrics). This is the antichrist (not to be confused with the true Christ who rides upon His white Horse in Revelation 19:11). This is why many will be deceived, because they will think he (antichrist) is Jesus. The bow antichrist has is a knock off compared to the bow (Shekinah Glory) that God has in Revelation 4:3. (Compare Revelation 13 for more details to antichrist coming and making war (conquering) with the people of God). Don’t be fooled by the fake to come, for he comes claiming to be Jesus Christ!

Mark 13:5-6 (What is being taught in Revelation is also the same thing mentioned in Mark).

13:5-6 Many will be deceived because they will be looking for the first person to ride in on a white horse to worship them. Unfortunately its antichrist and not the True Christ who comes first to deceive! Many know not the difference and will fall into the trap.

Revelation Ch. 6 continued

Second Seal

6:3 it is not hidden, all need to see so they are not deceived.

6:4 this is symbolic of war; it is a war horse. Remember anything God does or has Satan will mimic it and make it his own. God has a bow, so Satan has a bow (a fake or knock off), God has a sword (the word), so Satan has one as well (his word brings deception, lies, death, and many other bad things).

Mark 13:7

13:7 it will not be the end yet, we are to be watchmen and on guard against the deception and tricks of Satan. Remember we read in Dan 8 that Satan comes in with peace and prosperity. Be prepared!

Revelation Ch. 6 continued

Third Seal

6:5 black: this is symbolic of famine (compare: Lam 4:4-8).

6:6 oil and wine: this is symbolic of Gods elect. The oil is the anointing oil of Gods people, and the wine is the blood of Christ shed on the cross (compare: Rev 12:14, Zech 13:8). Penny G 1220; denarius. Bread by weight signifies scarcity (compare: Ezekiel 4:10/16-17). We see now inflation and prices shooting out of control.

Fourth Seal

6:7 come and see with understanding.

6:8 beasts G 2342; wild (venomous) beast, a dangerous animal. Hell and death are tied together here and are a representation of Satan (compare: Rev 9:11). The beasts could be representations of the nations to come that will help antichrist do his work (compare: Dan 7). Satan’s sword is his weapon of lies and deception (brings death spiritually on people).

Mark 13:8

13:8 famine: compare: Amos 8:11. Sorrows G 5604; labor pains. These are the beginnings of pains that will grow closer and closer until the Lord comes back and birth is given to the new age (third). The sword Satan uses brings this famine; you see it today. People are not being fed the word of God; people are hungry and hurting but are given nothing that can help them because the word is not being taught.
