(The brightness of our revelations depend upon the correctness of our doctrines (our building blocks)

(God is Thought, God is a Spirit)

 

(2 Thes 2:11)  And for this cause [their unbelief] God shall send them strong delusion [i.e., personified as Satan, the father of lies (John 8:44)], that they should believe a lie [Gk: falsehood(s)]:

 

STRONG DELUSION (LYING)

THE FIRST HORSE OF THE APOCALYPSE: ENCOMPASSING DECEPTION

(Rev 6:1,2)  And I saw when the Lamb [Christ Jesus] opened one of the [seven] seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts [Gk: zoon; an animal] saying, Come and see [Gk: look at: perceive, regard, take heed] [i.e., understand; a command issued forth from an angelic beast in Heaven]. And I saw [i.e., obeyed], and behold a white horse [2]: and he [the head-antichrist] that sat on him had a bow [3]; and a crown [singular versus “many crowns” Rev 19:12] [4] was given unto him [“and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority” Rev 13:2]: and he went forth conquering [present tense], and to conquer [future tense, i.e., signifying continuous operation, CONTINUOUS STRONG DELUSION (LYING)].

1.     apocalypse = Dict: 1. depicting symbolically the ultimate destruction of evil and triumph of good; specif., the book of Revelation [Dict: revealing, disclosure]. 2. a disclosure regarded as prophetic.

2.     Commentary: “a white horse” = white is a biblical symbol of innocence and purity; a horse is a biblical symbol of power. Thus a controlled (reins) horse (power) symbolizes the empowerment of the rider.

3.     Commentary: “a bow” = the bow was a most threatening weapon when deployed against nonbelievers; however, in a closer look (discernment), because of the absence of arrows, the bow is largely, but not completely, an ineffective weapon when deployed against discerning true believers.

4.     (Rev 19:11-16)  And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse [symbol of innocence, purity, and power]; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns [versus “a crown” Rev 6:2]; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword [versus “a bow” Rev 6:2], that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

 

THE SECOND HORSE: WAR

CAUSED BY CONTINUOUS STRONG DELUSION (LYING)

(Rev 6:3,4)  And when he 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 human blood; herein a contextual symbol of war, caused by STRONG DELUSION (LYING)]: and power was given to him that sat thereon [i.e., held the reins] to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another [like, in type and shadow, the Midianite host symbolizing unbelievers who opposed Gideon: Judg 7:22] [1]: and there was given unto him a great sword [nuclear bomb technology: Zech 14:12-15].

1.     (Judg 7:22)  And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.

 

THE THIRD HORSE: FAMINE (AND PESTILENCE)

CAUSED BY CONTINUOUS STRONG DELUSION (LYING)

(Rev 6:5,6)  And when he 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 color of the human appearance of starvation]; and he that sat on him [i.e., held the reins] had a pair of balances [Gk: a measuring scale] in his hand [under his control]. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny [a day’s wages], and three measures of barley [basic animal feed] for a penny; and see thou hurt not [take not] the oil and the wine.

 

 

THE FOURTH HORSE: DEATH AND HELL FOR NONBELIEVERS

CAUSED BY CONTINUOUS STRONG DELUSION (LYING)

(Rev 6:7,8)  And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see [a command]. And I looked, and behold a pale horse [Gk: greenish] [1]: and his name that sat on him [i.e., held the reins] was Death, and Hell followed with him. [2] And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword [the second horse], and with hunger [the third horse], and with death [the fourth horse], and with the beasts [Gk; therion; a dangerous animal: venomous, wild] of the earth. [3]

1.     Commentary: “pale” = the color of the human appearance of gangrene (rot due to no blood), “the blood is the life” (Deut 12:23), thus “pale” symbolizes the process (progression) of unsavedness, i.e., an existence of continually dying unto Death followed by Hell, in effect, bleeding to death.

2.     Commentary: “and Hell followed with him” = for unbelievers exclusively because believers shall have been previously raptured, i.e., “caught up” (1 Cor 12:2,4; 1 Thes 4:17; Rev 12:5 ) to God and do not ever go to Hell.

3.     Commentary: Notably, there is no mention in this verse of the first horseman of the Apocalypse. The second, third, and fourth horsemen of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are killers because they are under the strong influence of the rider of the first horse of “strong delusion” whose power of lies does not directly kill; however, the power of strong delusion (lies) is the causative factor of all the killing which follows after his appearance. Who is this horseman-rider whom God has sent upon the unsaved peoples of this world? He is “a lying spirit” (1 Kings 22:19-23), the father of lies (John 8:44), he is “strong delusion” (2 Thes 2:11), he is a fallen angel whom we may discern to be most correctly named Lucifer-Satan, “the god of this world” (2 Cor 4:4). 

 

 

 

 

THE WONDERFUL ENDING OF BIBLE PROPHECY

(Rev 22:14,15)  Blessed [Gk: happy] are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without [Gk: outside] are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
