« And behold a pale horse, and he that sat upon him, his name was Death, and hell followed him. And power was given to him over the four parts of the earth, to kill with sword, with famine, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth »
7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.”
8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.
If you think the three seals we have discussed in this series so far have been terrifying, you haven’t seen anything yet.
There are still four more seals to be opened and studied.
According to the bible, at the opening of the fourth seal, a pale horse would appear with Death sitting on it, hell following close behind.
Death will have a field day after the rapture.
In fact, God Himself will allow it to take one quarter of the whole earth.
Hell will be following right behind it so that as the people are dying, he can be collecting them and putting them through an eternity of torment.
After they have suffered so much on earth, they will then go on to continue the suffering in Hell.
That is what people call “from frying pan to fire”.
I’m so glad I will not be here when all this is happening.
I and my children-in-the-Lord will be having a beautiful fellowship with God and other saints in heaven.
Some of the people that death will take will be killed by the sword.
Remember, a war will be going on at that time. Another set of people will be killed with hunger. That will be as a result of the scarcity of food in the whole world.
Yet another set will be killed by the beasts of the earth. This could either mean that the wild animals will start killing people or that diseases from animals will kill many people.
Of course, when there is hunger, people will eat all kinds of animals and these animals will have diseases in them that will be passed on to the human population.
The Corona virus pandemic that hit two years ago only killed a relatively tiny population of the world and the whole world trembled.
Imagine what will happen when a quarter of the whole world is dying.
That is why, if you are sure of your own salvation, you should preach to others to be saved.
Why are you not preaching the gospel to them?
Why are you not inviting them to church meetings where you know that they will hear the word of God?
Why are you staying silent, watching them head towards danger?
I know the danger that is coming, so I have determined that I will not stop preaching the gospel. I will go to the nooks and crannies of the world to warn everyone about this imminent danger.
I will keep preaching the gospel and I will take as many people as I can along with me to heaven.
What about you?
Prayer point: Father, please don’t let me or anyone I know miss the rapture in Jesus’ name.
