In Search of Sacred Scripture #9: "Four Horsemen and the Apocalypse" Revelation 6:8

 Poems, movies, paintings, and books have portrayed the carnage on the "Great and Terrible Day of the Lord." Music with orchestra accompaniment have set-up preachers to make the announcement; an appointed time when God's wrath is made manifest to a God-hating, Christ-rejecting, sinful world. 

Enter the Four Horsemen!

The horseman on a white horse moves quickly, announcing false peace plans. Three more horsemen gallop to center stage; a red horse of war bringing military confrontations and bloodshed followed by a black horse bringing scarcity throughout the earth through plague and famine. Then, there's another horse...one described having the color pale green.

All four horsemen were given permission to slaughter up to 25% the inhabitants of the earth. Jesus described the Great Tribulation as events "the world has never seen since the beginning and will not be seen again."

Yet for those who put their trust in the True King, we can take heart our future is secure. The dead in Christ will be raised first before The Great Tribulation actually begins. I don't think you want to put yourself in a situation where you might embrace Him after this all begins. I would humbly suggest to do a little research and make a decision for Him soon...possibly even today.

Revelation 6:8  "That's when I saw the pale green horse. The rider had a name...Death. Death was accompanied by a companion, Grave, who rode close behind. Together they were granted power to destroy 25% of all inhabitants of the entire earth; by sword, famine, or plague. Wild animals were recruited and given power to kill humanity also."
