« Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword »
3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.”
4Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
After the Anti-Christ has arrived and has been crowned, the second seal will be opened.
Now, remember that from yesterday’s study, we saw that the whole world has happy with their now leader who seemed to be a promoter of peace. However, when the second seal is opened, they will see true color of their leader.
He will provoke war. At that time, all his diplomacy will be gone.
« “So when you see the destructive desecration, mentioned by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place (let the reader take note) »
– (Matthew 24:15 ISV)
The words of Daniel referred to by Jesus in the above passage are in Daniel 11:31NLT
« “His army will take over the Temple fortress, pollute the sanctuary, put a stop to the daily sacrifices, and set up the sacrilegious object that causes desecration” »
The arms that will be on his part are represented by the man on the red horse that will be released when the second seal is opened.
Now the Anti-Christ will have the military at his fingertips.
Though he would have allowed the Israelites to rebuild their temple, he will sacrifice pigs on the altar of that temple.
Anyone that knows Jewish law will know that Jews can never tolerate that. War will break out! This will be the war of all wars.
Some countries will support the Anti-Christ and some will be against him.
I pity those who will be on earth at this time.
The war will be terrible, so terrible that Jesus warned thus in Matthew 24:16-21CEV
16 If you are living in Judea at that time, run to the mountains.
17 If you are on the roof of your house, don’t go inside to get anything.
18 If you are out in the field, don’t go back for your coat.
19 It will be a terrible time for women who are expecting babies or nursing young children.
20And pray that you won’t have to escape in winter or on a Sabbath.
21 This will be the worst time of suffering since the beginning of the world, and nothing this terrible will ever happen again.
I pray you will not miss the rapture, in Jesus’ name.
Application: Let those who are wise stay away from sin.
