  Revelation chapter 6. Let us pray.
• 0:06
  Our Father, we love you. God, you are the name that is
• 0:10
  above all names. God, we exalt your holy name.
• 0:14
  We love you. Father, we are lay down lovers.
• 0:16
  Father, I pray in the mighty name of Jesus for your will to
• 0:20
  be done and for your Kingdom to come, just as it is there in
• 0:23
  heaven. Father, I pray that you'll give
• 0:26
  us the daily bread. I pray God that you'll forgive
• 0:29
  us for all the many times that we have sinned and come up
• 0:33
  short. God, let us extend forgiveness
• 0:35
  out to those who don't even ask for it.
• 0:38
  God, who don't even deserve it. Father, we love because we were
• 0:42
  first love. And God, I pray for the
• 0:45
  protection of the Saints. Lord in camp around us.
• 0:49
  Father, I pray that you'll bring us from glory to glory.
• 0:52
  Hallelujah, we love you. We cry out Maranatha, we speed
• 0:56
  the day. God, we fill our lamps up, we
• 0:59
  trim our Wicks. God, we are expected and we are
• 1:02
  waiting for our bridegroom. We love you.
• 1:05
  Father, I pray that which will mark us with your goodness and
• 1:09
  grace and your love and your mercy.
• 1:11
  Father, I pray that you will keep us from the enemy, keep us
• 1:16
  from the hour of temptation that is coming.
• 1:19
  God, I pray that you will help us to love and to love well and
• 1:22
  to wait well. Father, for yours is the
• 1:26
  Kingdom. Lord, help us not to build our
• 1:29
  own here. Yours is the glory.
• 1:32
  God shower us with the Shekinah glory.
• 1:35
  God overwhelm us so that we can't even minister.
• 1:40
  And yours Father, is the power forever and ever and ever.
• 1:44
  God, you are all powerful and you can do anything and we
• 1:49
  believe you. We have faith like a child God.
• 1:53
  And we are waiting ABBA on you Lord, to make all wrong things
• 1:57
  right. In the mighty name of Jesus I
• 1:59
  pray, Amen. Let's start in verse one.
• 2:05
  And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals that I heard,
• 2:09
  as it were the noise of Thunder, one of the four beasts saying,
• 2:14
  come and see. So here we can see Jesus Christ
• 2:17
  opening up the seven seals that are on this scroll.
• 2:23
  He was the only one found worthy.
• 2:25
  And here we can see one of the beasts coming and he says come
• 2:30
  and see. And we know that all of this is
• 2:37
  culminating during the seven-year tribulation period
• 2:41
  where it's literal hell on earth.
• 2:44
  It'll be worse than it's ever been since the beginning of
• 2:47
  creation. It'll be worse than the days of
• 2:51
  Noah where every thought continuously was evil and it
• 2:54
  grieved God that he had made mankind.
• 2:57
  And the Bible tells us if God had not cut those days short, no
• 3:01
  one would survive. This is not anywhere that anyone
• 3:05
  would ever want to go if they fully understood the gravity and
• 3:09
  the magnitude of what is to happen.
• 3:12
  What is to take place during this seven-year time?
• 3:18
  Verse 2 And I saw and behold a White Horse.
• 3:22
  And he that sat on him had a bow, and a crown was given unto
• 3:27
  him. And he went forth conquering and
• 3:29
  to conquer. This is conquest.
• 3:32
  This is the Antichrist coming to take over the world as the one
• 3:38
  world leader. And you can see here that he has
• 3:43
  given the power with this bow to take over the world. 3 And when
• 3:49
  he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come
• 3:53
  and see four. And there went out another horse
• 3:56
  that was red, and power was given to him that sat on it to
• 4:01
  take peace from the earth, that they should kill one another.
• 4:05
  And there was given unto him a great sword.
• 4:08
  This is war breaking out. And all of these signs, all of
• 4:13
  the seals are in complete agreement with what Jesus Christ
• 4:20
  told us in Matthew 24 on the Olivet Discourse, where He is
• 4:26
  giving the disciples an overview of what John here is pinning in
• 4:31
  greater detail. Five.
• 4:36
  And we ain't open the third seal.
• 4:37
  I heard the third beast say, come and see.
• 4:40
  And I beheld and lo, a Black Horse.
• 4:43
  And he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
• 4:47
  So we can see here that this famine is breaking out.
• 4:52
  So the Antichrist arrives on the scene.
• 4:55
  He promises the inhabitants of the world to bring all of the
• 5:02
  answers and he brings a pseudo peace that he could never
• 5:05
  deliver on. The church is already taken up
• 5:08
  and out. During this time the Antichrist
• 5:12
  has been revealed, this man of lawlessness, but he comes as a
• 5:16
  smooth tongued person who perhaps is from the Gentile
• 5:25
  world, as a beast out of the sea, or perhaps he's from the
• 5:29
  tribe of Dan, as an Israelite and as a Jew, and that is why he
• 5:35
  is accepted as their false Messiah.
• 5:39
  And so you can see here that he is promising global peace, but
• 5:45
  he only brings war, and then after that this famine that
• 5:50
  follows the war. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four
• 5:58
  beasts, say, a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures
• 6:02
  of barley for a penny. And see, you do not hurt the oil
• 6:06
  and wine. So the common man is the one
• 6:09
  that is hurt. During this time the luxuries of
• 6:12
  the wealthy are untouched, and that is what is referenced here.
• 6:16
  7 And when he had opened the 4th seal, I heard the voice of the
• 6:21
  fourth beast say, Come and see, ate and behold, and I looked and
• 6:26
  behold A pale horse. And his name that sat on him was
• 6:30
  death. And hell followed with him.
• 6:36
  And power was given to them over the 4th part of the earth, to
• 6:41
  kill with sword, and with hunger and with death, and with the
• 6:46
  beasts of the earth. So you can see here the
• 6:49
  Antichrist comes on the scene, promises World Peace, promises
• 6:54
  all the answers to the problems in the world he has received,
• 6:58
  and then that follows with war, which is followed by famine,
• 7:03
  which is followed by death. These are the four horsemen that
• 7:07
  get revealed. And we could see it all shaping
• 7:11
  up in our day and our hour. And there is not much that's
• 7:15
  holding all of these things from happening other than the Holy
• 7:19
  Spirit, which is restraining this man of lawlessness.
• 7:23
  And until the Church is taken up and out, he will be restrained.
• 7:29
  Friends. That is the only thing holding
• 7:32
  him back. But all the systems are go, All
• 7:36
  the systems are in place for world domination.
• 7:41
  And you can see here that the Bible actually tells us in
• 7:45
  beautiful detail of what will happen to the most precise
• 7:51
  little detail. And we can bank on it.
• 7:54
  We can build our life on it. We can know that we know that we
• 7:57
  know that. We know that the Bible is
• 7:59
  trustworthy and true. It is rock solid.
• 8:02
  It is the chief cornerstone. And we can have hope because we
• 8:07
  know that if we will place our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,
• 8:12
  and if we will receive the Holy Spirit as a down payment, we
• 8:17
  will be kept from that hour that is coming to test all the
• 8:20
  inhabitants of the earth. 9 And when he had opened the 5th seal,
• 8:28
  I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the
• 8:33
  word of God, and for the testimony which they held.
• 8:36
  So you can see here that there is a remnant during the
• 8:41
  seven-year tribulation. It is still possible for people
• 8:45
  to give their lives over to the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 8:48
  It is just going to be much harder.
• 8:51
  And the souls of the martyred during this time are crying out
• 8:56
  to God and asking him, how long, Lord?
• 9:00
  10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord,
• 9:05
  holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them
• 9:10
  that dwell on the earth? And so you can see here that the
• 9:15
  martyred during the seven-year tribulation, their blood is
• 9:19
  pulled at the altar just like it would have been in the temple
• 9:24
  whenever the high priest, whenever he was slaying the
• 9:29
  sacrifices in the blood drip. That is how it is to God.
• 9:33
  These blood of the martyrs are a sweet sacrifice unto God, and He
• 9:38
  will honor them. And we can bank and we can build
• 9:42
  our entire lives upon the fact that God sees everything and
• 9:47
  nothing is missed, and He will reward us for the sacrifice that
• 9:52
  we make. 11 white robes were given to every one of them, and
• 10:00
  it was said to them that they should rest yet for a little
• 10:04
  season until their fellow servants also, and their
• 10:07
  brothers that should be killed as they were, should be
• 10:11
  fulfilled. So God knows the final number.
• 10:14
  He knows how many people are going to be there in the end.
• 10:17
  And what a wonderful privilege it is to receive these white
• 10:24
  robes dipped in Jesus's blood makes us white as snow.
• 10:28
  Friends. 12 And I beheld when he had opened the 6th seal, and lo,
• 10:35
  there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as
• 10:38
  sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.
• 10:43
  So you can see anarchy breaking out.
• 10:45
  We can see that the literal heavens and earth are shaking
• 10:52
  and they are falling apart at the seams because this is the
• 10:58
  greatest magnitude of destruction that is breaking out
• 11:03
  on the earth. And not only will people notice
• 11:07
  it, but even creation itself is groaning and waiting for God to
• 11:13
  make all things new and to restore it back to the way that
• 11:17
  it should be. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth,
• 11:24
  even as a fig tree cast her untimely figs when she is
• 11:29
  shaking of a mighty wind. So you can see here that all of
• 11:34
  creation is shaken to its core because of this terrible
• 11:41
  judgement that has come this seven-year time that is worse
• 11:46
  than it has ever been on planet Earth. 14 And the heaven
• 11:52
  departed as a scroll when it is rolled together and every
• 11:56
  mountain and island were moved out of their places.
• 11:59
  So even geography itself is disrupted and disturbed and it
• 12:04
  is moved and there's no place to hide.
• 12:08
  You cannot hide from the face of God. 15 And the kings of the
• 12:14
  earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief
• 12:16
  captains, and the mighty men, and every bond man and every
• 12:20
  free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the
• 12:24
  mountains. So what a tragedy it is to have
• 12:28
  the opportunity to give your life over to Jesus Christ and
• 12:33
  then to miss out on this catching up of the church.
• 12:38
  But then it's it's an even greater tragedy to see all the
• 12:43
  things happening on the earth in the exact precise manner that
• 12:48
  the Bible has described and people still are so hostile
• 12:54
  towards a loving God. Stiff necked and obstinate
• 12:58
  towards Yahweh everlasting that even during this time they
• 13:03
  refuse to put their faith in Him and they're trying to run and
• 13:09
  they're trying to hide. And God Almighty will reveal
• 13:14
  everything. He will lay it all out bare, 16
• 13:22
  and said to the mountains and rocks fall on us, and hide us
• 13:26
  from the face of him that sits on the throne, and from the
• 13:30
  wrath of the Lamb. So you can see here that evil
• 13:36
  and the reprobate mind. You can see here that it falls
• 13:44
  so low in depravity that it refuses to to repent.
• 13:52
  This is what happens when someone has been given over and
• 13:57
  someone who refuses to come in the manner that God has
• 14:03
  prescribed and told us how to be saved.
• 14:08
  And they refuse it, friends, even to their last dying breath.
• 14:12
  They're hostile towards Him. And that is the greatest tragedy
• 14:16
  of mankind. And it is not that God didn't
• 14:19
  give them a way. It is not that God did not give
• 14:23
  it as a free gift for them to take.
• 14:26
  It is because they refuse it, friends.
• 14:30
  It is not hidden from them. It is right there for the
• 14:35
  taking. It is not that God just hides
• 14:39
  himself. He reveals himself through all
• 14:43
  of creation. He reveals Himself to the nation
• 14:46
  Israel, and through that nation Yahweh has revealed himself
• 14:51
  through Christ Jesus. But the carnal, reprobate man
• 14:58
  refuses him, and that is what is taking place here. 17 For the
• 15:04
  great day of his wrath has come. And who shall be able to stand?
• 15:09
  You and I? Friends, we don't stand on our
• 15:13
  own merits. We don't stand on our own
• 15:15
  righteousness. We don't stand on any of the
• 15:18
  works that we do. We only stand on the finished
• 15:22
  work of the cross of what Jesus Christ did, and we're going to
• 15:26
  be able to gird up our loins and stand in his holy presence on
• 15:32
  the day of judgment. We will be able to be passed
• 15:36
  over, friends, because we're covered in the blood of Jesus
• 15:40
  Christ. I pray that that's your story,
• 15:42
  and I pray that you've been blessed by this amazing chapter
• 15:45
  here in God's Word. I know I sure have.
• 15:48
  I'm praying for every single one of you.
• 15:51
  I love you. We'll see you back here
• 15:53
  tomorrow. God bless you.
