THE
PROPHECY OF JESUS CHRIST
(Matt
24:1-3) And Jesus went out, and
departed from the temple [i.e., synagogue, church, (the body
of
believers)] [1]: and his disciples [Gk:
learners: pupils
(students)] came to him for to shew him the [grand,
beautifully
ornate] buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them,
See ye
not all these things? verily I say unto you, There
shall not be left here one stone [men
are symbolized by stones (hard hearted), built upon; reliant upon,
influenced
by, dependent] upon another [stone (person), rather than being dependent
upon
God] [2], that shall not be thrown down [Gk:
demolished: (be) destroyed, dissolved] [3]. And as he sat
upon [(reigning),
upon the throne of] the mount of Olives [in a
regal
display of symbolic kingship; the olives symbolize believers
(us)
destined to be crushed and thoroughly squeezed (by tribulation) for an
outpouring of precious olive oil which is/are the Thoughts of God returning
into God’s Holy Spirit], the
disciples came
unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when
shall these things be? and what shall
be the sign [Gk:
indicator: miracle, wonder] of thy
coming,
and of the end of the world [Gk: aion; this age (this
world)]?
1.
(1
Cor 3:16,17) Know ye not that ye are the
temple of
God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If
any man defile [Gk: spoil,
ruin, fig. by
moral influences, to deprave] the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the
temple of God is
holy, which temple ye are.
2.
(1
Pet 5:6,7) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand
of God,
that he may exalt you [Gk:
elevate: lift
up] [build you up] in due time: Casting
all your
care [Gk: distractions] [from God] upon him;
for he
careth [Gk:
(is) concerned] for you.
3.
(Psa
127:1) A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the
LORD build
the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the
LORD keep the
city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
THE
BEGINNING OF SORROWS
(THE
FIRST THREE SEALS OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE
APOCALYPSE)
(Matt
24:4-8) And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Take heed [beware,
be
warned] that no man deceive you
[Gk:
cause you to roam (from safety, truth, or virtue): go astray, seduce,
wander
/// delusion, error]. For many [false prophets]
shall
come in my name, saying, I am Christ [Gk: anointed];
and shall deceive many [the
first seal (Rev 6:1,2)] [1]. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars [the
second seal (Rev
6:3,4)] [2]: see that ye be not troubled [Gk: (to
wail);
clamor, be frightened]: for all these things must come to pass,
but the
end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation,
and
kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines,
and pestilences [e.g., COVID
19],
and earthquakes, in divers [many]
places
[the third seal (Rev 6:5,6)] [3]. All
these are the beginning of sorrows [Gk: pangs or
throes,
espec. childbirth: pain, travail].
1.
(Rev
6:1,2) And I saw when the Lamb [of God, Jesus
Christ, the Word
of God (John 1:14)] opened one of the
seals,
and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder [God-speak
in Heaven],
one of the four beasts [11x; i.e., four speaking
aliens
(Rev 4:6-11) who are not of this world, but are highly intimate
with
God, perhaps they are the “king-priests” (Rev 1:6; 5:10) of four
different
worlds, or solar systems, or galaxies] saying, Come and see
[a command]. And I saw, and behold a
white horse [that appeared
(seemed) to represent the great power of truth and innocence,
but in
reality symbolizes the great power of “strong delusion”
(2 Thes
2:11), i.e., a plethora of lies]: and he [the
rider]
that sat on him [that controlled the great power of the horse of “strong delusion” by the reins in the
horse’s mouth] had a bow [versus
“a sharp sword” (Rev 19:15)]; and a
crown [versus
“many crowns” (Rev 19:12)] was given unto him: and he went forth
conquering [Gk: subduing:
overcoming, getting
the victory], and to conquer [on
into the future].
2.
(Rev
6:3,4) And when he [Jesus Christ, the Word of God (John
1:14)]
had opened the second seal, I heard
the second
beast say, Come and see [a command]. And
there went
out another horse that was red
[the
color of blood]: and power was given to him that sat
thereon [that
controlled the horse] to take
peace from the
earth, and that they should kill
one another
[“and the LORD set every man’s sword against his
fellow” (Judg
7:22), exactly like the LORD did to the 135,000 invading unsaved
Midianites
(Heb: brawling, contentious, discord, strife)]: and there was
given unto
him [the rider] a great sword
[of war].
3.
(Rev
6:5,6) And when he [Jesus Christ, the Word of God (John
1:14)]
had opened the third seal, I heard
the third
beast say, Come and see [a command]. And I
beheld, and lo a black horse [the
skin color of starvation]; and he that sat on him had a pair
of
balances [Gk: a coupling, yoke; fig. servitude: a
beam (as
connecting the scales)] in his hand [Gk:
power] [of manipulation]. And I heard a voice [the
false news media: radio, television, internet] in the midst of
the four
beasts say, A measure of wheat
[good
edible grain] for a penny [a day’s wages], and
three
measures of barley [grain
of much
lesser quality, used as food for livestock] for a penny [a
day’s
wages]; and see thou hurt not [harm not] the oil and the wine [i.e.,
take not of the best food reserved for the rulers].
4.
Commentary:
all seven seals
are
cumulative and progressive, like the
layers of a
pearl (Matt 13:45,46).
THE
FOURTH SEAL OF GREAT TRIBULATION
(Matt
24:9-14) Then [suffering
under the pangs of childbirth] [1] shall they deliver you
up to be afflicted [Gk:
pressure: anguish, burden,
persecution, tribulation], and
shall kill
you: and ye shall be hated [Gk: detested: loved
less]
of all nations for my name's sake [for Jesus Christ]. And
then shall many be offended [Gk: ensnared, tripped up,
stumble,
enticed to sin], and shall betray one another, and shall
hate
one another. And many false prophets [like the
fake (false) news
media (lying propaganda)] shall rise, and
shall deceive many. And because iniquity
[Gk: violation of the law, wickedness: unrighteousness]
shall
abound, the love of many [pseudo-Christians]
shall wax [become] cold. [2]
But he that shall endure [Gk:
bear
trials, persevere: take patiently, suffer] unto
the end, the same shall be saved [Gk: (“safe”);
delivered
or protected: healed, made whole]. And this gospel [good
news] of the kingdom [of God] shall be preached
in all
the world [via the Internet] for a witness
unto all
nations; and then shall the end come.
1.
Commentary:
“Then” = when the accumulating
“sorrows” of the first three
seals
(tribulations) become fully active, which circumstance may be witnessed as
a dramatic increase in frequency and intensity (as in
childbirth),
and the world will be in the disasterous throes of maximized confusion (chaos
versus order).
2.
(Rev
6:7,8) And when he [Jesus Christ, the Word of God (John
1:14)]
had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast [Gk: zoon; a live
thing, an animal] say,
Come and see [a command]. And I looked, and
behold a pale [Gk:
greenish] horse [perhaps
prophesying the ending-of-time doctrine of “The Green New Deal”]:
and his
name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with
him
[a]. And power was given unto them
[the antichrists] over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with
hunger, and
with death, and with the beasts [Gk: therion; a
dangerous
animal: venomous, wild] of the
earth
[the latter phrase is specifying earthly creatures
rather than the
four other-worldly creatures].
a.
Commentary:
except, at this time, we will no longer be here
because no believing Christian will ever
go to Hell; the
substitutionary death of Jesus Christ paid the price of redemption for
us all, saved and
unsaved alike. Therefore, the
evil victory of this passage does not pertain to us
who
“believe” for we shall have been previously “raptured” out. J
Amen

END COME” (Matt 24:14)
