White Horse
(Rev 6:1)
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
(Rev 6:2)
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
Bow - TOXON =
Google - “etymology toxon greek”
Word History The Greek word toxon means "bow" or "arrow." From this came the Greek toxikon, meaning "a poison in which arrows are dipped." Toxikon was borrowed into Latin as toxicum, which gave rise to the Latin verb intoxicare, "to poison."
Do we have anything in the world today associated with WHITE - that John may have looked at and thought we was seeing an archer dipping his arrow tip in poison?
Red Horse
(Rev 6:3)
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
(Rev 6:4)
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
Do we have anything in the world today associated with
RED - that John may have looked at and saw it taking peace from the earth?
Black Horse
(Rev 6:5)
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
(Rev 6:6)
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Balance are used to weigh things - or to BALANCE things on one side with what is on the other side.
You could say - they are used to make things equal.
Do we have anything in the world today associated with
BLACK - that is seeking balance.
Pale Horse (green)
(Rev 6:7)
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
(Rev 6:8)
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Pale - chlōros = greenish (maybe pale green)
Every other translation is JUST green.
Mark 6:39 - Green grass
Rev 8:7 - green grass
Rev 9:4 any green thing
75% of the earth is covered in water - leaving 25% for where people live.
I do NOT think that this “horse” will only impact ¼ of the population.
I do not know if the “THEM” was in reference ot JUST Death and Hell - it sounds like it was talking about ALL of the four that were mentioned.
Do we have anything in the world today associated with
GREEN - that threatens tyranny?
FIFTH SEAL
(Rev 6:9)
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
(Rev 6:10)
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
(Rev 6:11)
And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
