In Revelation 6:1-8 note the four living creatures one at a time one of them call John to see a horse and it’s rider released upon the earth. The four living creatures represent God’s creation and purpose. Up until the ascension of Christ I believe their job was to fly around the throne of God Worship and represent His earnest hearts desire and eternal purpose towards God’s creation which is to pour out his Life through His Son on the earth. With the arrival of the ascended Christ they now attend to the commands of the Lamb. With the first four seals they all as thunder shout “Come!” Is this an invitation to John or to the four horses? I believe more so an invitation to John which in turn is a loud invitation to us! What John sees we need to see. We need to see this horse race. We need to see it not just in the context of Revelation but we need to see that this is what is occurring on the earth today and will culminate with intensity during the tribulation. Come! Do you see God’s gospel as the most important news in the universe!? Have you seen and are you seeing these other 3 horses riding hard especially in these last days to stop the gospel!? May we have John’s revelation of this Horse Race. "And when He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and behold, another horse, a red one, went forth; and to him who sits on it, to him authority was given to take peace from the earth, and that men should slay one another; and to him a great sword was given. And when He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and behold, a black horse; and he who sits on it had a balance in his hand. And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, A choenix of wheat for a denarius and three choenixes of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine. And when He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature, saying, Come. And I saw, and behold, a pale horse, and he who sits upon it, his name is Death; and Hades followed with him. And authority was given to them over the fourth part of the earth to kill with the sword and with famine and with death and by the beasts of the earth." (Revelation 6:3-8)
