The Seven Seals and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

There is very little in this Revelation that we have not seen before in the earlier Jewish prophets, especially Daniel and Ezekiel. The Book of Revelation, however, arguably ties all the other prophecies together and establishes how the final fulfillment of HaShem's Plan of Redemption will take place and how the Messianic Kingdom of the Olam Haba will be established "on earth as it is in heaven." Until this happens, the Messiah can not accurately be said to have come because this is his essential task. Therefore, Yochanan's Revelation is essential for everyone seeking to understand the prophecies of the Jewish Tanach and the Jewish Way sect Brit Hadasha. The following reference to one of Daniel's prophecies will help us place the Seven Seals and the Four Horsemen in their proper biblical context:

Daniel 7:2 Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven broke forth upon the great sea.

This great sea is the great crystal sea we have seen before, below the Mirkaba, which is to say, the "sea" of terrestrial existence under the dome of the firmament. The four winds striving to dominate this rebellious sea of humanity must refer to the same influences referenced as the Four Horsemen in Zechariah 6:2-5 and Revelation 6:1-8. Prophet Zechariah shares more information on this:

Zechariah 6:1 And again I lifted my eyes, and saw, and, behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; the mountains were mountains of brass.
6:2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
6:3 in the third chariot white horses; and grizzled strong horses were with the fourth chariot .
4 Then I answered and said unto the angel talking with me, "What are these, my lord?"
5 And the angel answered and said, These are the four winds of heaven, that go forth from before the Lord of all the earth.
6 [The chariot] with the black horses goes toward the north country; the white goes after them; and the grizzled went toward the south country.
7 And the strong went forth, and sought to go so that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get moving, walk to and fro through the earth. Thus, they walked to and fro through the earth.

Much could be noted about these war horses! Understand that they are not literal horses, as it is clear from the texts; rather, they are spirits blowing across the vast plain of the earth overseeing the nations and peoples across time and space. Our sages tell us that HaShem appointed 70 nations (people groups/languages) to be caretakers of the Earth throughout history. Each nation has a presiding spirit guiding them according to HaShem's allowances. We have evidence of seventy nations in various passages of the Talmud and Midrash. For example, the Talmud teaches that when God gave the Torah on Sinai, He spoke it in 70 languages (Talmud, Shabbat 88b) and that Moses translated the Torah into 70 languages before he died (Talmud, Sotah 32a). Of course, the other nations refused to accept it.

The existence of the seventy 70 languages of the seventy nations seems supported by the following account where the Torah speaks of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11-9:

The whole earth was of one language and speech.
As they journeyed from the east, it came to pass that they found a plain in the land of Shin'ar, and they dwelt there.
They said to one another, Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly. Thus they had brick for stone and slime for mortar.
They said, Come, let us build a city and a tower, whose top may reach heaven; and let us make us a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Then the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men were building, and the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be withheld from them, which they have schemed to do.
Let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
So the Lord scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth: and they ceased to build the city.
Therefore is the name of it called Bavel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the Earth.

These verses follow the list of Noah's 70 descendants, making the connection seem logical. When the nations please Elohim, He blesses them; when they displease Him, He corrects them in various ways. Some nations wield more influence than others for a time, but they always rise and fall by the Will of HaShem. Most mighty empires are at their peaks for a mere two hundred years or so, and then, as the USA is currently doing, they begin their decline and eventually fall. Often this corresponds with their treatment of the Jews.

The four horsemen referenced here represent spirits active at the End of Days as HaShem will replace all national powers with that of His Theocracy and anointed King. Each 'horse' will bring his unique authority to bear. We should understand their identities spiritually as well as literally. As their influences manifest, their colors signify which powers are predominant in which hardship. This knowledge offers fascinating opportunities for further study as we witness these things happening. Their essential symbolism is as follows:

• White Horse: False prophets, fake news, deceptions, and religious hypocrisy
• Red Horse: War, bloodshed, and social unrest
• Black Horse: Famine, diseases of every kind, including viruses and toxic cures
• Pale (or Grizzled) Horse: Death

As discussed previously, the Great Sea refers to the sea of rebellious humanity. Places like Isaiah 60:5, Matthew 13:47, Revelation 4:6, and so on confirm this. This symbolism affirms that these forces will strive worldwide and wreak great havoc at the end of the age. These prophecies are not speaking (primarily) of events that will happen in the celestial planes but right here in public view on Earth. Those alive at this time will experience these things directly and literally. There will be no escape such as that envisioned in the Rapture doctrine. Each of us needs to prepare spiritually for what is coming. We can also prepare materially by storing food, water, medicine, and other items, but none will escape unscathed. It will be a time such as the world has never experienced. None will pass through it without paying a high price, and most will not survive. We need to be mentally and spiritually prepared.

These four powerful influences will be like uncontrollable overlapping winds blowing and whipping as they please, like multiple tornadoes dancing across the surface of the earth. They are likened to mighty war horses charging ever onward, unstoppable. These destructive influences have been the bane of humanity since the beginning of time but never have their powers been so unleashed. It is of such powerful forces that we read:

I John 2:18 Little children, it is the last hour: and as you have heard that antichrist comes, even now have there have arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.

These forces have been present in the world since the beginning of the Age, but now, at the End of Days, they will appear in their ultimate and unveiled forms! Indeed, the word apocalypse comes from Middle English (through the Late Latin apocalypsis and the Greek apokalypsis meaning not only "revelation" but more specifically, from apokalyp "to uncover" or to "reveal" something previously hidden, arguably referencing Daniel's promise of an end-time revealing of his prophecy. The reference at First John is not to the Son of Perdition or the Anti-Christ, but to the corrupt dynamics occurring throughout the planet like evil winds, one might more accurately say irreligious spirits. Humanity will behold the naked reality that without the restraining influence of God's love and compassion, history will end, not with a bang, but with a long torturous whimper. The priesthood of Israel has become corrupt, and in its abdication, there is no shielding influence from the consequences of their Rebellion. We will experience the ongoing War firsthand. The prophets say that two-thirds of the Jews and three-quarters of the rest will not survive the experience!

Zechariah 13:7-9: Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, against the man who is My Companion, declares the LORD of Hosts. Strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn My hand against the little ones.
In all the land, declares the LORD, two-thirds will be cut off and perish, but a third will be left in it.
This third I will bring through the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, 'They are My people,' and they will say, 'The LORD is our God.'"

In his End-Time prophecies found in Matthew 24, Yeshua speaks of the increase in these conditions as the world approaches the End of the Age. Today these forces are seemingly spinning out of control as we, like moths, rush headlong into the fires of the War of Magog

The Opening of the Seven Seals

The Opening of the First Sealed Scroll: The White Horse: Rex Mundi

Revelation 6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder: Come.
2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth to conquer.

In chapter five, we saw the appearance of Mashiach ben David, arising from amid the lambs of Israel. It is he who opens these seven sealed scrolls. Therefore it is obvious that the figure seated on the white horse can not be the Mashiach as some maintain.

This horseman is an imposture who will spread evil in the name of righteousness and deceives many! Those who identify this rider as haMashiach make a grave error and may be among those who accept him as such.

This rider is not a "lamb" but an angry "ram." We see him depicted in Daniel chapter eight, signifying Antiochus Epiphanes. History, of course, repeats. Before the coming of Mashiach ben Yosef and ben David, one who is likened to Haman (Sanhedrin Folio 97a and 97b), to Antiochus Epiphanes (Daniel, chapter 8), to the Man of Sin and Son of Perdition (II Thessalonians 2), etc., will rise seeking to deceive the Jews (Matthew 24:15, 22-24) and everyone else. Do not be deceived by him. This man will be the Rex Mundi of the evil Global Union.

He is in Jewish eschatology, Christian, and Muslim. Our prophecies depict him as a wicked world king during the last generation. Our sages warn that this man will bring unprecedented evil just before the bestowal of the final Redemption at places like Ezekiel 28:2; Daniel 7:24–25; 11:36; cf. 9:27; Sanhedrin Folio 97a and 97b). Another form of the same idea is in the eschatological battle in which the forces of evil and their leader are finally overcome (QM xviii:1; 1QS iv:18–19; Test. Patr., Levi 3:3, et al.).

Zechariah gives us an essential clue to this rider's identity when he says, as cited above:

Zechariah 6:5 The angel answered and said, These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 [The chariot] wherein the black horses go toward the north country; the white go forth after them, and the grizzled go toward the south.

We know that the black horse represents the "kings of the north" (Daniel 11:6, Job 37:9, Ezekiel 38:3, Revelation 20:8) that arise from the Russian steps (which are to say, from the land of Magog with its chief prince of Meshech and Tubal). The White Horse also comes to and from the north but from a different northern area! From the Dark Prophecies of Bavaria as well as the biblical records, it is clear that while the Black Horse comes from the Moskva River area (Moscow and Smolensk Oblasts in Russia), the White Horse will rule from Bavaria, as we discuss elsewhere in some detail. Bavaria, of course, is the true capital of the Merovingian Roman Empire that rules the world through its genetically manipulated royal families and mRNA perversions. From this powerful cabal, the Rex Mundi or Global Potentate, the Son of Perdition, will arise as a handsome Jewish youth metaphorically seated on a white horse.

As we will see as we continue, the Rex Mundi will first appear as "an angel of light" (II Corinthians 11:14) speaking great things (II Thessalonians chapter 2). He will seem like a great humanitarian, a wonderful man, and a peace-bringer (II Thessalonians chapter 2)! The world will praise him as he rides onto the globalist stage as a daring knight astride his white-washed horse! Terrified by the advancing Islamic Ummah (the foretold kings of the South) and China (the kings of the East) - Daniel chapter 11 - with their economies and infrastructures failing, with the rise of global fascism of the Great Global Communist reset to world Paganism, and uncertainty increasingly exponentially everywhere, this man will appear as the world's last and only hope for freedom and peace as the former United States completes its decline and fall. Through chaos and fear, he will deceive the masses into accepting his Novus Ordo Seclorum ("New Order of the Ages"). As Paul explains:

II Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together with him;
2:2 that you will not be overly disturbed mentally, nor be troubled, either by spirit, word, or epistle as from us, as that the Day of the Lord is just at hand.
2:3 Let no one beguile you in any way: for that day will not come until the falling away happens first, and the Man of Sin be revealed, the Son of Perdition,
2:4 who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God, or is worshipped, so that he sits in the Temple of God, setting himself forth as God.
2:5 Remember, when I was there with you, I explained these things?
2:6 And now, understand what restrains him so that he will be revealed in his season.
2:7 For the Mystery of Anomia ["Lawlessness" or anti-Torah] is already operating: but continues to be restrained until the time of its removal.
2:8 And then the Anomia [destitution of (the Mosaic) law] will be Apokalupto [seen for what it is], hoswhich Kurios: sovereign [owner] will destroy with the Words of the Torah, and annihilate by the manifestation of his Parousia Presence; 2:9 whose parousia presence is according to the working of Satanas [the yetzer hara, the negative inclination] with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2:10 and with all the deceit of unrighteousness, those who perished did not receive the love of the truth that would have rescued them from destruction.
11 And for this reason, God will send them a strong delusion so they will believe a pseudos [a conscious and intentional falsehood]:
12 that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

This text is so revealing! I have clarified the Greek meanings with this translation. Anomia refers to lawlessness. In context, the mystery of iniquity is the outpouring of negativity upon all who reject the Torah (Law). Those who become mentally deranged through the Globalism of this system turn away from God's Law and willingly embrace fake religion and philosophy. Their brainwashing by the Globalist systems becomes complete, and they become addicted to perversions and unrighteousness of all kinds.

Paul, of course, is an important emissary of the Way Jewish sect who believed that Yeshua ben Miriam would return to the earth as HaMashiach. That this is so is also an important premise in Yochanan's prophecy and belief system. In due course, the identity of Mashiach ben David will become evident to everyone. Until then, innumerable people and nations will accept the lie that this New World Order Elitist, Rex Mundi, has come as Mashiach. Nevertheless, it will be a lie. Even as most people today are blindly submitting to the mRNA DNA modifying jabs and food contaminations, so will most submit to his reign. Most people will accept his injection, known in this prophecy as the Mark of the Beast. They will fully submit themselves to his authority even as the German people did with Hitler, but with even worse consequences! Of course, even as some in Germany resisted Hitler, a remnant will refuse to accept Rex Mundi and his New World Order. As Paul warns:

I Thessalonians 5:3 When they say, "We have now have peace and safety," then sudden destruction will come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they will in no way escape.

The Great Falling Away

When will this Son of Perdition who is like Haman arise? Note that he will not appear publicly until after God "vomits out" the "Laodicean Congregation" (Revelation 3:14-19). Today's Organized religions, whether Jewish or Christian, are more lukewarm and hypocritical than ever. Most Christians openly celebrate Pagan holidays, deny the biblical Oneness of God, and disregard the Torah, claiming it has been "nailed to the cross," which Yeshua said could never happen (Matthew 5:18).

Likewise, Judaism is more divided by sectarianism than ever before. Many Orthodox Jews like the Orthodox Union (https://www.ou.org/news/statement-by-the-union-of-orthodox-jewish-congregations-of-america-on-us-supreme-courts-potential-overturning-of-roe-v-wade/) and Aish HaTorah (https://aish.com/abortion-in-jewish-law/) publically support child murder through abortion, as do many Christians (example: https://act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/roe/). Most Jews and Christians today demonstrate no real faith in anything before their physical senses and science-so-called. Most are believers in name only. Likewise, most Jews today no longer practice Judaism, and a large percentage are openly Atheists. Others claim that the Chazal (Talmudic scholars) hold more authority than Moses and the Written Torah. Most religions (other than Islam, now the world's largest and most observed religion) are similar in their declines. The prophets tell us that the time is coming when HaShem will vomit all such pseudo-religious people out from His presence, even as he did the ten divorced houses of Israel. Until this vomiting process is complete, neither the Rex Mundi nor the real Messiah has come.

While we can see that this "vomiting out" is now well underway, it may not be entirely obvious when this process will be complete. We now have a large percentage of Nicean Christian churches and Jewish synagogues that have become so "liberal" and eclectic that Moses, Yeshua, and HaShem Himself might as well be mythical figures! AND we have countless "conservative" and "fundamentalist" churches and "Orthodox" Shuls that have become little more than judgmental, hate-filled dens of religious hypocrisy, focusing more on excluding people and celebrating their own supposed righteousness than anything else! These "religious" people are likened to white-painted graves filled with dead bones! The external facades can not conceal what is inside them. Indeed it is very difficult to find an assembly of sincere and loving people who invite "whosoever will" to come and express divine love and acceptance. BOTH types of congregations are now commonplace, and surely BOTH are being "vomited out" now, as declining membership statistics and the lack of spiritual 'fruit' make clear.

As this process continues towards the final global ichabod state (i.e., the point at which God will finally abandon these communities completely), preparations for the appearance of the Son of Perdition are advancing fast. As the world's religions (other than Islam) fall into ever-more rank heresy and irrelevancy, the signs of Rex Mundi's appearance are becoming manifest with the increase of Paganism and global barbarism. We expect to see a gradual, developing embrace of the coming ruler as the "Second Coming of Jesus" or the Great Leader, whomever he may be. Those who mistakenly interpret this rider of the white horse to be Yeshua returned, or Mashiach ben David by whatever title, will embrace his Globalist agenda.

Some Jews and Christians will doubtless embrace him quickly, while others will hold back for a while. Most Muslims will probably be skeptical and withhold their support longer. Nevertheless, at some point, most people will embrace Rex Mundi and his False Prophet under the banner of the Universal Congregation. As this happens, all true Believers need to heed this dire warning:

Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues:
5 for her sins have reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Render unto her even as she rendered, and double [unto her] the double according to her works: in the cup which she mingled, mingle unto her double.

The reference, as we will discuss in due course, is to an already emerging Pagan-based global religious system in which humanity submits itself to a global dictator who will promise elevation from the status of homo sapien to homo deus. The masses are already accepting this promise of a new humanity, modified through philosophy, DNA-altering mRNA, and artificial intelligence. The days of Nimrod and the Tower of Babel are now returning.

The appearance of the Son of Perdition or Rex Mundi on the world stage will signify the opening of the First Sealed Scroll. It could happen at any moment, although we expect the United States to complete its implosion first. Note that the first six of the seven scrolls are opened almost simultaneously. Therefore, as we see these things happening, we should know that all six will soon follow:

Sanhedrin Folio 97a: Thus has R. Johanan said: in the generation when the son of David [i.e. Messiah] will come, scholars will be few, and as for the rest, their eyes will fail through sorrow and grief. Multitudes of trouble and evil decrees will be promulgated anew, each new evil coming with haste before the other has ended.'

The Second Seal: The Red Horse: War!

6:3 And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come.
4 And another [horse] came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.>

The coming global dictator, the Rex Mundi (sitting astride his "white horse" as counterfeit peace bringer), will arise during a time of global warfare and slaughter. We know much from the light and dark prophecies, but much of necessity is conjecture. Prophecies often are not fulfilled exactly as expected, but in the main, we are shown what is soon to befall our beleaguered planet.

Bye Bye Miss American Pie

While the prophecies do not directly confirm this next point regarding the United States, the complete absence of the U.S. from any biblical prophecy strongly supports it. The foretold global conditions of extreme political and cultural chaos as the Second Seal is opened leads many of us to believe that the United States will have left the world stage as a player by this point. Our national demise will create the conditions for what is coming. It seemed inconceivable when I first began understanding this point in the 1970s. When I mentioned it to people, they usually scoffed at the idea that the United States would ever fall, and certainly not in our lifetimes. Nevertheless, here we are today with the US in tatters religiously, morally, ethically, militarily, and financially.

The 9-11 attacks and unconstitutional responses mark the beginning of the destruction of the former great republic. However, the treasons of 1913 and the Federal Reserve were dark omens of coming woes for those paying attention. In the biblical scenario of events, the United States would be a central player if it existed. Its utter absence from the prophecies can only mean the US will be globally irrelevant as the Six Seals are opened. If it still exists, it will be an irrelevant wasteland. Our destruction will transform the world into a void into which Rex Mundi will appear as the savior. When Rex Mundi declares global peace and security, God will cause everything to crumble, like He did the Tower of Babel.

What we see happening around us today leads many of us to conclude that it will be the final collapse of the United States that will produce the chaos into which Rex Mundi will arise. Global organizations like the World Economic Forum, Davos, Club Bilderberg, the United Nations, the Club of Rome, the World Federalist League, the CFR, and so on wield tremendous power. They are pursuing their agenda for global domination and governance. What once seemed like a conspiracy theory has now become a conspiracy fact. Although the fall of the U.S. is not stated specifically in Revelation, what these globalist powers are doing is completely harmonious with it and is taking place right before our eyes. For more on the Bilderberg group, the the Merovingians, the Order of the Defeated Dragon, Islam and the Merovingians and other related topics, visit my Thus Say the Prophets web site.

Through such cabals, the Man like Haman (Rex Mundi) and his global regime will use the brute force of arms, as well as conciliatory words, massive drugging of our food and water, mRNA injections and contaminations, deceptive peace treaties, and whatever else is at his command to bring in the global governance referenced by the prophets. In this way, he will finalize the Novus Ordo Seclorum ("the New Order of the Ages") that Globalists have been developing for many years. This ongoing process of enslavement will result in a total economic and religious usurpation by Global Fascism under his absolute authority: the Great Re-Set To Paganism: the resetting of the biblical-based world paradigm to a Pagan-based world paradigm. As Paul confirms:

II Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beg you, brothers and sisters, concerning the coming of [the Messiah], and our gathering together unto him;
2:2 in order that your mind does not quickly shake you, nor be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand;
2:3 let no one deceive you in any way: for [the Olam Haba will not come] until the falling away happens, and the Man of Sin will have been revealed, the Son of Perdition,
2:4 who will oppose and exalt himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he will sit in the Beit HaMikdash [the rebuilt Temple of God], setting himself forth as God.
2:5 Don't you remember that I told you these things when I was yet with you?

This "falling away" refers to the Laodicean Congregation period discussed previously (Revelation 3:14-19). Despite the optimistic teachings of those who speak of an end-time revival, Yochanan tells us plainly what will happen. As discussed in the previous presentation of the Seven Congregations, the world's religious assemblies will become increasingly at odds with HaShem, His Torah, and His people and is, even now, being "vomited out." The seventh congregation period is now suffering its final decline into apathy, irrelevance, and hypocrisy. Their next major prophetic event will be their embrace of Rex Mundi as the "Second Coming of Jesus" or the Messiah. This second seal will spur the world to seek peace at any cost as the Rex Mundi arises. Organized religion as we know it is now dying a well-deserved death. Of course, some are now waking up but are in the minority. Only a small remnant of Jews, Christians, and others will stand firm, and millions will die as martyrs.

In his previous letter to the same congregation, Paul explained:

I Thessalonians 5:3 When they say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction will come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they will in no way escape.

As discussed earlier, part of the globalist deception will include the signing of a peace treaty between Israel and its enemies. Upon this deceptive concordant, the Globalist leaders of Israel will declare the Rex Mundi to be the long-awaited Mashiach, Melekh of Israel (John 5:43, Sanhedrin Folio 97a, 97b). They will deceive everyone (Matt. 24:5)! The secular nation of Israel will authorize the Temple Institute to begin construction of the Third Beit HaMikdash ("House of the Holy": the Third Jerusalem Temple). Within the walls of this future Temple, the global despot will perform the Abomination of Desolation (II Thessalonians 2:2; Matthew 24:15). Paul is here referring to the treaty that will end with the despot's claim of divinity. This abomination will take place roughly three and a half years after he signs his treaty with Israel as he boasts that he has now established global peace and security, according to both Paul and Yochanan.

Many experts in Israel are now claiming that the site of the prior two Temples was not the Temple Mount, where the Muslim Dome of the Rock now stands, but a location next to the Dung Gate in the Ophel area, south of the Mount, near the City of David, near the Gihon Spring. This location will likely be where Rex Mundi's temple will be, not at the actual location, which was and will be on the Mount over the Foundation Stone. This alternate location would avoid conflicts with the Al Aksa Mosque complex. Building this temple is one of the critical Messianic prophecies thus far unfulfilled by any Messianic candidate. According to the prophets, Mashiach ben David will rebuild the Third Temple on the Temple Mount.

In the wake of the fall of the United States of America, amid the ensuing chaos, the people of the world will unite and place everything into the hands of this coming dictator. The Man of Sin, Rex Mundi, will come to power, seemingly establishing world peace and ending the global war, famine, disease, and chaos. Shortly after his administration declares global peace; however, the most turbulent period in world history will begin, as we will see as we continue with this study.

The Opening of the Third Sealed Scroll: The Black Horse: Famine!

Revelation 6:5 And when he opened the Third Seal, I heard the third living creature say, Come. Then I saw, and behold, a black horse, and he that sat on it had a scale in his hand.
6:6 I heard, as it were, a voice amid the four living creatures say, "A measure of wheat for a shilling, and three measures of barley for a shilling; and be careful not to hurt the oil and the wine."

Due to the ongoing Globalist and reactionary wars and social upheaval taking place around the globe, the price of food and other staples will be extremely high. We can't say how much a "shilling" was, but on average, the price of a bushel of wheat (about 60 pounds) at this rate would be about four dollars and a half, or 18 UK shillings - a price which would indicate great scarcity, and which would give rise to much distress. As Rex Mundi rises to power, critical food shortages will cause the nations to seek aid from his world government. In the name of fighting starvation and disease, the UN and other global authorities, under the control of the Rex Mundi, will take possession of and ration everything essential to survival. Other prophecies include the creation of a planetary currency without which no one can buy or sell. More on this as we continue.

Those who receive these staples will praise the world government and its leader for saving their lives. Poor and starving people and countries will willingly submit themselves to the New Order of the Ages in exchange for food rations and other necessities. Due to his "humanitarian efforts," Rex Mundi will increase his global authority and reputation as a savior. This acceptance will happen quickly as the Man of Sin comes to power amidst the turmoil of global conflicts, viruses, and starvation. He will appear as the sole refuge from the rising planetary storm. The people won't understand until it's too late that he and his associates created the turmoil! Opposing him will seem insane, but oppose him we must.

The Opening of the Fourth Sealed Scroll: The Pale Horse: Death!

Revelation 6:7 And when he opened the Fourth Seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, Come.
8 And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat on him. His name was Death, and Hades closely followed him. They received authority over the fourth part of the Earth to kill with sword, famine, death, and by the wild beasts of the Earth.

People around the world will be starving to death due to the high prices and contaminants in the food. According to many reports, the dreaded mRNA DNA-altering toxins are now being added to our foods, dairy, meat animals, and even public water systems. As a direct result, huge numbers are already dying as the Global Elite biologically alters humanity. The Bavarian Illuminati and the Merovingian Elite who rule this Earth by Nephilim-born power and authority (II Corinthians 4:4) have made their intention to reduce the Earth's population by 75 - 80% completely clear in many venues. They are no longer hiding this intention. One example of this intention was literally set in stone with the Georgia Guidestones until some brave soul blew it up in 2022.

The evidence of their genocidal plans is overwhelming as I demonstrate elsewhere. As this fourth Sealed Scroll opens, the Global Elite will manage to murder a quarter of the human race through wars, pestilences (like lab-made viruses and mRNA contaminates), and famine! The situation will become so dire that even the wild animals that typically avoid humans will be hunting them for food! Worldwide chaos, starvation, and uncertainty will drive the planet into the hands of the Novus Ordo Seclorum and its coming leader. Nevertheless, do not expect a monster! Rex Mundi will appear as a healthy, handsome, probably young Jewish man seated on a "white horse," like a knight in shining armor.

During this period, the world will be rocked by chaos and death, and amidst this global insanity, one man will arise as a knighted savior as if mounted upon a white horse! As his plans advance, the growing death tolls will begin to subside as people receive desperately needed sustenance and medical care. He will restore peace and order in country after country and overthrow diverse non-compliant despots. People around the globe will understandably turn to him with faith and even love.

But his zealous followers will target anyone who opposes him. Towards the righteous remnant who maintain emunah in HaShem alone, this will be no tzadik!Those who rightly understand the prophecies will stand, and most of them will become martyrs!

This information matters friends!

Do not be among the deceived!

The Opening of the Fifth Sealed Scroll: The Martyrs!

Revelation 6:9 And when he opened the Fifth Seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
6:10 and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the Holy, and True One until You judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
6:11 And each of these was given a white robe and told to rest for a little longer until their fellow servants and brethren, who were to be killed as they were, should also die.

There are always people asking if this or that politician might be the Antichrist. As Rex Mundi takes global center stage, those who know the prophecies will not need to ask this question! His actions will clarify his identity to those who rightly understand the prophecies and continue to place their faith in HaShem alone. Even so, many thought Hitler, Stalin, Chairman Mao, or some other despot was the one. Today there are several candidates on the world stage, but we probably won't know for certain until he begins his reign.

As Rex Mundi continues his rise to global power, people will form into two distinct camps: Those who stand against this Beast and those who embrace him as foretold in the separating of the Sheep and the Goats (Matthew 25:32) and other accounts. These will be the "Bridesmaids" who either did or did not keep their lamps filled with oil and their wicks suitably trimmed (Yeshua at Matthew 25) because NOW the Darkness will have arrived, and the "oil" of God's Spirit will have been removed. Most humans and post-humans will stumble into the increasingly Woke darkness, oblivious of reality. Comparatively, few will stand against this darkness of Luciferian Globalism (Matthew 17:14)! Revelation 6:9-11 speaks of those who stand as comparatively few! This "Remnant" will be the holy end-time martyrs of whom the world is not worthy (Hebrews 11:38). They will consist of Jews and non-Jews.

Reason and common sense will cry out that this man is good and that opposing him is certain death! Madness! They will say, "See! He rides a "white horse" in every sense of the symbolic expression! He is feeding and clothing those in need! He is establishing global peace and security! Since he arose, even the weather has been better! Only a fool, or a TERRORIST, would oppose him!"

If one can not withstand the social pressure to take the pre-mark jab and mRNA contamination of our food, medicine, and water, how will one ever manage to stand during this period?

Yet many will stand against him in righteous defiance! As we will see, "a great multitude" of Gentiles and 144,000 Jews will refuse to bend their knees before this Beast in Sheep's clothing. These people of faith will be like lambs to the slaughter!

Those who teach that these Gentiles and the 144,000 will be immune to death are woefully mistaken! Nothing in scripture tells us that! Nevertheless, they will stand, and we must stand with them!

Remember Lucifer's challenge in the Book of Job that I talked about before! Lucifer charged that humans would only serve HaShem for a payoff! Now millions of martyrs will prove him to be a liar as they willingly embrace death! Millions will be willing to embrace martyrdom rather than accept the Globalist Beast and his system! What an honor to be among these tzadikim (saints) who refuse to bow before the Globalist alter! Be strong of faith and heart, dear friends! Stand!

This must be understood! The time for easy-believe-ism is past! There will not be a Rapture! But make no mistake, a planetary Rupture unlike anything the world has ever experienced is upon us! Ready your hearts and minds for "the Day of HaShem" because the End of the Age is here! We must Stand as the Suffering Servant, not cowardly seek escape through assimilation!

Realize also that whether people accept the Mark of the Beast or not, the vast majority of humans on earth are going to die during these seven years! That PROBABLY includes you and me if we live into them! At MOST, accepting the Mark may mean an additional two or three years of strained life, but at what cost and under what conditions? Human nature drives us to seek survival, but when this option is directly given, willingly embracing death will be far, far better in every way! The mRNA, other drugs, and social conditioning we are being submitted to are destroying our humanity, compassion, and reasoning minds. This destruction is intentional.

Stand!

While some of those who refuse the Mark will survive the War to be witnesses, the vast majority will not. We must accept this FACT as willing martyrs! We must never bow to the New World Order ("Novus Ordo Mundi") that now rules the Earth nor to the coming New Order of the Ages ("Novus Ordo Seclorum"), regardless of the cost! As Yeshua warned:

Mark 8:35 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whosoever voluntarily surrenders his life for my sake and teachings will save it.

But how are we to stand against such awesome power?

GOD has already provided for this! Concerning this period, Prophet Joel shared this prophecy:

Joel 2:27 You will know that I am with Israel, that Adonai is your God, and that there is none else. My people will never be ashamed.
2:28 And it will come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh: Your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
2:29 Upon My servants and handmaids in those days I will pour out My Spirit.
2:30 And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth: blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
2:31 The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and terrible day of Adonai comes.
2:32 And it will come to pass, that whoever will call on the Name of Adonai will be delivered; for in Mount Zion and Jerusalem there will be those that escape, as Adonai has said, and among the remnant those whom Adonai calls.

That this prophecy almost certainly concerns our time is confirmed by the words: "And never again will My people be put to shame." There was a tremendous "putting to shame" of the Jews in 70 CE when the Holy Temple fell, and Rome exiled the Jews from our Home (Eretz Israel). The Russian pogroms and the German Shoah or Holocaust were also horrific puttings to shame. Now, as we are approaching the coming of Shiloh and the establishment of the Kingdom, the Jews will suffer terribly like never before, but when Shiloh redeems us through this process, we never again be shamed, and Holy Jerusalem will never again be trodden underfoot by the nations (Luke 21:24) nor by our self-hating foolishness (Mishna Torah, Laws of Kings and their Wars, Maimonides (Rambam), Chapter 11, Law #4)! The ongoing "putting to shame" of our people is clear proof that Mashiach ben David has yet to arrive.

Further evidence is given in the description of the Moon appearing to turn to blood. We will discuss this future event in just a moment (6:12).

So what does this mean in terms of this question: How shall we Stand? To those who witness the emergence of Rex Mundi and who choose to stand firm for the faith 'once and for all times delivered unto the saints of God,' HaShem promises guidance! As Yochanan said elsewhere:

I John 2:27 As for you, the anointing you received from God abides within you, and you do not need anyone to teach you; because as God's anointing teaches you concerning all things, that anointing is true and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, so too, you will abide in it.

By the opening of this Fourth Seal, the Jews, the Nicean Church, and other religious systems will have mostly merged with the universalist religion of Rex Mundi! Many already have! At this time, no true God-worshipper can trust their former teachers, rabbis, or ministers. Now GOD Himself will instruct us as the Torah opens inwardly for each remnant person (Jeremiah 16, 23, 39; 31)! The Ruach HaKodesh, the Spirit of the Living God, will speak to us individually and say, Go here! Do this! Do not do that! People with emunah will have dreams and visions and know things they should not be privy to logically! Those with faith in HaShem will obey Him without question, if to life, to life, if to death, to death. Spiritual 'Knowing' will enthuse the repentant survivors, and they will serve HaShem unreservedly.

Mark 8:35 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whosoever voluntarily surrenders his life for my sake and teachings will save it.

Da'at or the inward realizations granted by HaShem's Holy Spirit will empower people of emunah to stand. Do not wait; start now! TRUST and OBEY the Voice of HaShem, and He will lead you through the dark days that are now dawning!

Perhaps the Way of God will lead us into the lion's den or perhaps to palaces of gold! In either case, our response must be the same: Baruch HaShem! Wherever He leads me, I will follow! KNOW:

"We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God in order to stand in the evil day, and having done all you can to stand, stand" Ephesians 6:12-13.

Perhaps in His service we will live and survive the coming tribulations, and perhaps we will die, but as written:

Some indeed preach this anointing out of envy and strife; and others out of goodwill:
16 Some do it out of love, judging themselves prepared for the defense of the good news;
17 Others dishonestly proclaim sectarian ownership of the anointing, hoping to increase the affliction of our bonds.

In other words, while some people hold firmly to the Torah, perhaps through the Rabbinic system or according to the Jewish Way sect teachings, others embrace the sectarianism and avodah zara of the rising globalist heresies. The latter always persecute the former according to their ability—all faithful servants of HaShem, whether Jews or Gentiles, should expect and accept this. Yet despite these diverse challenges, we must press forward, remain firm, and bend our knees to no one other than HaShem.

Philippians 1:18 What shall we do then? In every way, whether in appearance or truth, we will proclaim the anointing and rejoice; yes, we will rejoice!
1:19 I know that this will all work out for our redemption through your supplications and the spiritual supplies of Yeshua's anointed teachings,
1:20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing will I be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, so now also the anointing will be magnified in my body, whether by life or death.
1:21 Because to me, living is anointing, and dying is gain.
1:22 If I remain alive in the flesh, this will bring more fruit to my work; therefore, I am torn between these (i.e., between life and death].
1:23 I am in a strait between the two, desiring to depart and be in devekut [fully merged with the anointing] for that is very far better:
1:24 and yet to remain housed in this flesh is more needful for your sake.
1:25 In either case, I am confident: I know that I shall continue to exist, yes, and will always abide with you all. I am confident of your continuing progress and joy in the faith;
1:26 and your glorying will abound in the anointing through me, through my presence with you again," Philippians 1:15

This section of the Revelation does not say how many people the Globalists will martyr during this period. However, surely it will be in the hundreds of thousands at least. God alone knows. We are all in His hands. Yochanan assures all who will die during this period that Mashiach ben David will avenge their deaths but adds that they must be patient for a while longer. Of all the righteous people who have ever lived, these Tzadikim will be among the few who willingly lay down their lives for the glory of HaShem and His Kingdom! Such a holy calling!

As we will discuss as we continue, once Rex Mundi signs his peace treaty with Israel, the coming of Mashiach will be just under seven years thence. That will be the maximum time required for their patience if we take Yochanan's timeframe literally.

The Opening of the Sixth Sealed Scroll: Global Anarchy and the Wrath of HaShem Revealed!

Revelation 6:12 I saw when he opened the Sixth Seal, that there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood;
6:13 and the stars of the firmament fell onto the earth, as a fig tree casts her unripe figs when a great wind shakes her.
6:14 And the heavens were removed as a scroll when rolled up, and every mountain and island moved out of their places.
6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid in the caves and the rocks of the mountains;
6:16 and they cried to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
6:17 for the great day of their wrath has come! Who can stand?

But in this they were premature!

As Yeshua tells us of these events:

Matthew 24:8 But all these things are only the beginning of their problems.

Note that, as always, HaShem and Yeshua are presented as different beings: "Hide us from the face of Him that sits on the throne (HaShem), and from the wrath of the Lamb (Mashiach ben David): for the great day of their wrath has come." The Apostles all present Yeshua, whom they hoped would be the Messiah, as an obedient, fully human son of God and pray for us to likewise to be observant children of God as he was (1 John 3:2, John 17:21).

By this point, people will have decided their stand for God HaShem or against Him. Those prepared to embrace martyrdom will remain firm regardless of what occurs to them, like "sheep to the slaughter." Know this: even at the end of the Seven Years, anyone who wishes to turn to HaShem in faith may do so. However, the longer one waits, the more difficult teshuvah will become. So turn now! Repent! Seek His Mercy while you can!

But understand this as well:

II Thessalonians 2:8 And then will be revealed the lawless one [i.e., Rex Mundi, rejector of the Torah], whom the master [Kurios: the owner or lord, in this case, Mashiach] will slay with the breath of his mouth [i.e., with the words of Torah in opposition to Rex Mundi's lawlessness], and bring to naught by the manifestation of his coming [reign];
2:9 Yes, the man [i.e., Rex Mundi] whose coming is according to the working of Shaitan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2:10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish since they received not the love of the truth to be saved.
2:11 For this cause God will send them strong delusions, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 that they all might be judged who believed not the Torah, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

As these events unfold, it will become less and less likely that those who have yet to make up their minds will turn to God. So:

Isaiah 55:6 Seek Adonai while he may be found; call upon Him while He is near:
55:7 let the wicked forsake their ways, and the unrighteous their thoughts, and let them return to Adonai, and He will have mercy upon them, and God will abundantly pardon.

With the unsealing of this sixth scroll, HaShem will make His presence known to everyone on Earth. He will order His servant, Mashiach ben Yosef, to take up the royal scepter and begin leading His armies into battle for the complete liberation of all the Lands granted to our people. Freeing the Holy Land and preparing the Way for Mashiach ben David will begin, but he is not yet on Earth. The man who will be Mashiach ben David remains at the Mirkaba above the firmament at the Sixth Seal is opened.

We can not be certain from these texts precisely how far into the Tribulation period we will be at this point. As explained before, once the Seven Seals begin to open, the first six quickly follow suit. The events of the previous seals overlap. Some prophecy scholars expect the Sixth Seal to open within the first half of the final Seven Years of the Age. Other prophecy students place this towards the end of the Tribulation, pointing out that the more extreme events seem reserved for the second half. I respect both views but believe the sixth Seal will likely open just before the abomination (i.e., at the midpoint) but will spill over well into the second period. In defense of this, I note that Mashiach ben Yosef's liberation of the Holy Land will take time and that shortly after he dies, Mashiach ben David will arise.

The opening of each Seal begins with earth-shattering power, shock, and awe, yet they are never short-lived. As HaMashiach removes each Seal, conditions on Earth become increasingly worse. As humanity determines that things cannot get any worse, they do. Even as the fallen hold tightly to Rex Mundi as their savior, they weep as their current woes, like birth pangs of what is dawning, increase. Through this process, Rex Mundi will be humiliated and shown that he is powerless to help them. He will be as powerless to stop these plagues as Nimrod was!

Thus far in our study HaShem has granted Rex Mundi and his Globalists a more or less free hand to organize his rule, as He granted Shaitan in the Book of Job. However, now the inhabitants of the Earth will be reminded that everyone and everything is ultimately subject to HaShem's absolute majesty and power! He alone rules in the affairs of humanity, and we are all guilty of what has been and what is happening. None are righteous, not one! - Ecclesiastes 7:20, Romans 3:10-12, Psalm 14:1-3.

Despite this terrible and terrifying show of HaShem's absolute power, those who have chosen against Him still will not repent nor seek His Mercy! They merely hide in fear of what comes next like cowards!

The battle lines are now drawn!
