Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse 2

Four different coloured horses, each rider carrying a symbolic item.

Most of us have heard the phrase, “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” But where does it come from? It comes from the book of the apocalypse, which is the last book in the Bible, the book of Revelation. In the sixth chapter, the Apostle John describes his vision of a Lamb, opening a scroll which had seven seals on it. Only the Lamb was worthy to open these seals.

The first seal is opened, and one of the four living creatures cries out with a thunderous voice, “Come!” He introduces the first horse, a white horse with its rider carrying a bow and wearing a crown. Then the second seal is opened and the second living creature announces the second horse, a flaming red horse, whose rider is given a huge sword. The third seal is broken and the third living creature, calls the third horse, a black horse with its rider holding a pair of scales (a balance). When the Lamb broke open the fourth seal, the fourth living creature presents the fourth horse; the most gruesome of the four! It is an ashy pale green horse (a greyish green livid colour, the ashen, discoloured appearance of the dead). Its rider’s name is Death, and Hades. “And they were given authority and power over a fourth part of the earth to kill with the sword and with famine and with plague and with wild beasts of the earth” vs 8.

It is important to understand that the book of Revelation is full of symbolism. Pastor Perry Stone explains the reason why symbolism was used. It was to preserve the writings of John from the Roman authorities at that time, as it would not be understood or considered political or a threat.

So let us investigate the symbols in this chapter. First, it is interesting to note, that in dream symbolism, the horse is considered a messenger of death! Each colour of the horses is a symbol of death in different areas. White and red represent death through war. Black is a symbol of death through famine and starvation. It is also a play on words – “the Black Market, the fire that fuels inflation”. The pale horse is the worst of all four, as it represents death in four areas - with the sword (war), with famine (starvation), with plague (disease and sickness) and with wild beasts.

Even the four living creatures play an important role in this rendition! In chapter four (Rev. 4:7; Ezek. 1:10) it reveals that each of the living creatures has a different face. The first, like a lion, the second, like an ox, the third, the face of a man, and the fourth like a flying eagle. They are cherubim, extremely powerful angels of fire (Ps. 104:4; Heb. 1:7; Ezek. 1:13). They are also known as the four winds or spirits which represent the four corners of the earth, north, south, east, west (Zech. 6:5; Dan. 7:2; 8:8; Rev. 7:1-2). They appear to be assigned to earthly matters (Zech. 1:10; 6:7), to patrol and protect the earth. But in times of judgment they release war (political and social agitations) and death through devastating apocalyptic events.

The pale horse and its rider are given authority and power to kill over a fourth part of the earth (Rev. 6:8) – “fourth part of the earth – answering to the first four seals; his portion as one of the four, being a fourth part.”

This has commonly been misinterpreted as a quarter of the human population, but as the commentary explains it refers to a “fourth part of the earth,” a specific area. Each Living Creature has been assigned to a specific area or corner of the earth. So we can assume the area they have charge over, is the area of each different horse, and they represent different parts of the earth. Because of the symbol of the flying eagle of the fourth living creature, could this represent the United States of America? And therefore, the other three horses also represent different areas. The symbols of the faces of the four living creatures reveals which parts!

The rider of the red horse carries a huge sword. Its area is Africa. This implicates war, violence and bloodshed, due to anarchy and political unrest. Africa has already, even in normal times, been a hotspot for war. Leaders fighting amongst each other for political gain and power. But in these times this will be greatly aggravated. But fighting and war, I should imagine, would mainly be for food? But as I explained, war and civil unrest will be all over the world. Many lives will be lost just through this alone. Other hotspots will be the Middle East, Asia, and U.S.A.

The severest area for famine and the “black market” (inflation) will be Europe (but famine will also be on every continent). The rider of the black horse carries a pair of scales, or a balance. Where scales in normal times, would be fairly balanced, these scales are grossly out of balance. As food and supplies will be highly inflated. Bringing in the “black” market. Remember the economy has collapsed, so money will have little to no value.

And as I have explained, the greatest destruction of all four horses is the fourth pale green horse, which represents the fourth area, being the United States of America! That area will have the highest casualties. It will also be the area mostly affected by the plague, spreading quickly, mercilessly, without any regard for class or distinction. The mention of a sword implicates civil war, men fighting against each other. But there is a possibility of an attack from the “north” too. While her defences are down, could her enemies attack without warning? Then another intriguing implication of attacks from wild beasts. The larger animals that survive will also face hunger, and no longer having the fear of man, will attack unprovoked? Also Rev. 18 mentions three times about uncontrollable fires!

The rider of the white horse wears a crown (meaning he is already, or has been, a ruler or leader) and carries a bow (a weapon of war). Its area is the Middle East. He is given power to rule the earth and to conquer. The white horse represents the antichrist. And it will be the first time that he will be revealed as the antichrist. He will conquer and take over three of the ten regions of the newly formed global government. He will also have three criteria that can only fit him (Rev. 13:2 see More on the Antichrist).

Shortly after the Rapture occurs, the antichrist will orchestrate a peace deal in the Middle East, for a seven-year period. But it is a false peace, as later, he himself will break this same contract.

While each horse represents a specific area, the whole world will experience all these calamities. But each horse's areas will be far more intensified. Everywhere will have civil unrest, but some areas will be more severe. Famine will also be across the whole globe, but the area of Europe will experience it the worst. As with the plague, it will be worse in U.S.A.

The fifth seal of Persecution has already begun but will intensify during this period. The sixth seal is the asteroid impact (for much more detail see Asteroid Impact 7th Edition, link at bottom). The seventh and final seal, I believe, is the start of the Tribulation period, with half an hour of silence in heaven (Rev. 8:1).

I hope you have found this overview and study of the four horsemen, and the six seals interesting and informative, even though it is also terrifying, to say the least! During this time, God’s hand of protection, provision and healing, will be mightily strong over His children, those that are safe in the ark of Salvation!

When God told Noah to build the ark, because a great flood was coming, Noah tried to warn people for a hundred years, but no-one, no not one would listen – in fact they mocked and sneered at him. God would not warn people if there was NO hope. He warns them so they have time to prepare, as preparation can mean the difference between life and death. It is not to paralyze us with fear, but rather to motivate us into action. Noah’s preparation was the ark – it was the means by which they would be safe, during this time of judgment. We too have an ark, the “Ark of Salvation, ” where we can be safe if we are found “in Christ”. Those that are “in Christ” will be kept safe (protection, provision, health) and free from fear because their trust is in Him.

Because of man’s impenetrable stubbornness, we cannot stop the judgment of God that is coming, every dot and cross of the “t” of the Word of God will be fulfilled. Yes, we can pray to mitigate their effects, but the only thing we can do is to lay our lives before Him in surrender and put our trust in Him, to keep us through the difficulties that lie ahead. And even though it seems to be a complete waste of time, we are still instructed to warn others (Ezek. 3:17-18), that they too may come into the “Ark of Salvation, ” before it is too late! Remember, once the door of the ark is closed (at the Rapture, when the fullness of the Gentiles has come in) no more Gentiles will be allowed in.

So time is short, warn others, even if you are mocked, like Noah; and spend time in preparation, wait on God for instructions and directions for you and your family. Then obey Him and do whatever He tells you to do! May the God of peace keep you and bless you and equip you! And remember to look up, for your redemption draws nigh (Luke 21:28).

Stock Up

For many years I’ve been practising how to Stock Up. So hopefully I can share some tips with you? With all the difficulties, calamities and destruction that we are about to experience, this will obviously cause great shortages of food and supplies! Stocking up now may be essential for surviving this period! And we need to learn now, how to be frugal and wise.

I know it is difficult to store enough food, especially for an extended period, but at least a little is better than nothing. Having said that, it is not impossible, some will have the ability to do this! Look at what Joseph accomplished, he not only saved his family, extended family and all their servants, but also the whole nation of Egypt, for a seven-year period of severe drought (Gen. 41:48-49; 54-57)! Jesus gives an amazing promise to those He finds doing this (what Joseph did), that they will be put in charge over all His possessions (Matt. 24:45-47). There will also be miracles of multiplication. If you look at the story of the five loaves and two fish (Matt. 14:14-21), it was only what they had in their hands that multiplied, and only when they broke off a piece and shared it. If we greedily keep it to ourselves it will not multiply and will very quickly diminish (Prov. 11:24-26).

Firstly, there are problems to storing food, you will face two types of thieves! One of the animal and insect world, and the other from the human world! And especially in this type of scenario, it may even be dangerous to have extra supplies, which would most certainly be stollen! So ideally a hidden room, or hidden lock-up facility would be suitable. Much wisdom and thought, and prayer needs to be given to this, even before stocking up!

Ok, the first thieves are much easier to handle, and that’s what we will discuss now! Insects, especially weevils and small moths are the worst, also mice and rats need consideration. Virtually all dry foods can be stored, if a little extra time is taken to prepare. Rice stores for many years, and dried beans and lentils are excellent too. Dried beans and lentils, especially the smaller ones can also be used as bean sprouts, an excellent source of fresh greens and vitamins. Pasta, oats, flour and even maize (corn) meal as well. I have just opened a packet of maize meal (we call mealie meal or sudza) that is almost a year old and it is fine. Ideally air-tight containers or cool boxes are the best for storing, but some things are too bulky and big to store in those. And even if you cannot get a good air-tight container, even the loose lids containers can be used with a method I will show you.

So the first thing to do on purchasing anything is to date it with a marker. This ensures that you will always use the older one first. I then also date it when I open it, just to see how long it lasts (you need to do this in the beginning so you can calculate how much is needed). I then usually use another thick plastic packet over it for added protection. Then I will take a small wet sponge dipped with an antiseptic fluid (like Dettol, all insects absolutely hate this – but it needs to be repeated every few months or so) and then wipe the packet with it. Also wipe around the lids of the containers you use. This will repel any insect. If the bigger items are stored within a thick plastic then simply wipe the plastic with the sponge. Even a box of spaghetti can be stored as it is, by sealing all corners with a brown tape, and then wiping all corners with your sponge. I have recently had a failure with a box of spaghetti which I didn’t seal properly. The weevils got in and demolished three to four packets, within ten days. I couldn’t believe how quick they were! It then took me a lot more extra time to try and clean them out of the other packets. So believe me, it is worth taking this time to seal the boxes before you store them.

Another thing I use is a grain powder, which is used for storing grains and kills insects. I then sprinkle that on the bottom of a container, or on the floor where you are storing. Something else can also be used to repel insects, and that is a green bar of laundry soap.

Of course tinned foods and pickles are easily stored, just make sure to date them. Other things to think about are dried milk powder, sugar, oils, peanut butter, nuts, seeds, and vinegars for making your pickles. Also curry, spices, herbs, soups and other flavourings can make any simple meal tasty.

One more thing to mention is eggs can also be stored! Some years ago an elderly lady, in her nineties, told me an incredible story! She said, as a young girl she can remember that her mother stored eggs in a liquid mixture (during the war and great depression), which she did not know what it was, but the eggs came out as fresh as the day they were laid! So I later looked it up on the internet and to my utter surprise found it. It is called water glassing method, with a mixture of food-grade hydrated lime and water. They can be preserved for 12-18 months! I am yet to try this but had a first-hand testimony that it does work!

So you see it is not that difficult to do this, and I hope I can encourage you to make a start. There are also some great YouTube videos out there with some excellent tips.

Another important thing to consider is water, which is even more important than food! In an emergency situation such as tsunamis, this will pollute water supplies. So bottled water will be needed. An excellent way of storing large quantities of water is through harvesting rainwater. We are already used to doing this as we experience water shortages here, and we use large tanks to store water. But for drinking, some form of purification is needed, the simplest way is to boil water for at least ten minutes, then allow to cool. In case of power outages, other alternatives to electricity will be needed, such as solar, generators and gas equipment too. S.J.

Arise Zimbabwe

I have just listened to this prophecy that Pastor Benny Hinn gave over Zimbabwe, on a recent visit here for a crusade. He is saying that a great wave is coming, a great move of the Holy Spirit, but Pastors need to be united, and a time of prayer and fasting, for 90 days must happen first! As if Christians do not pray, the enemy’s plans for Zimbabwe will succeed! I believe this is a now word, and a URGENT call to prayer!

When God has a plan for a great move, the enemy will do everything in his power to stop it, his plan is to deceive, distract and destroy! BUT we can ABSOLUTELY overt it through prayer!!! In the previous post I mention Prophet Cindy Jacobs, who said the women first with the Deborah anointing, and then the men, will pray over Zimbabwe and will bring about this change in Zimbabwe! I feel an urgency that something is brewing, and more now than ever we need to pray for our President, for covering, protection, wisdom and strength to stand in this fight!

Something just dawned on me, which I find quite funny! Many years ago, when standing in long queues, I would say to people, “You know we are last now, but one day we will be first.” I was referring to Zimbabwe, who has been on the bottom of every list, even the alphabetical one haha! But that one-day things will suddenly turn around, when we will become the first (Matt. 19:30). Of course, they looked at me as if I was totally crazy! But wouldn’t it just be absolutely amazing, if this great move and outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the latter rain, is FIRST manifested here in ZIMBABWE wow and wow!!!

In case you are not aware of what I am saying, many are teaching that a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the latter rain, is about to happen soon! It will be FAR greater than the former rain, that happened in the book of Acts, and which began the church. This is a time that the prophets of old longed to be in, as many unprecedented miracles will happen, all over the world. It will be like nothing we have ever seen or heard of before, signs and wonders and miracles will be commonplace! Its purpose is to bring in the great last harvest of souls, the world has ever seen before! MANY will come to know Christ, even in Muslim, Asian and Communist countries, during this time, as His light and glory will saturate the earth. He desires that none should be lost or perish and is preparing the world for His soon return to earth, to collect His bride in the Rapture. We have been given a three-year window to bring in this harvest, before He comes, as the door for the Gentiles will then close and be shut, at the Rapture.

Now back to Zimbabwe, wow the Lord has sooo much planned for us, as we have suffered difficulties and hardships for many years, but He will restore what the locust has eaten. I believe MANY people will come here, as Zimbabwe will be used as a place of refuge, during a very difficult and arduous time! And just like God will protect the remnant of Jewish survivors, during the last half of the Tribulation period, in a place called Petra, God too will protect MANY of His children, in another type of Petra, ZIMBABWE, during another very difficult and turbulent time! Wow that’s quite a statement…let me leave it at that for now!!! S.J.

Sukkot - The Feast of Tabernacles

Sukkot or Feast of Tabernacles is the last of the Fall Feasts and is celebrated for seven days (6-13 Oct 2025). The first being Rosh Hashanah, then Yom Kippur, then Sukkot. It is also known as the Festivals of Joy, which is in contrast to the solemn 10 Days of Awe and repentance in the first two. Israel celebrates the time when God delivered them out of slavery from Egypt, protected them from sure death when the Egyptians pursued them, and supernaturally provided for them during the long time in the wilderness. They dwelt in temporary abodes, in tents or booths, which is also a picture for us, that we are here only for a short time, as temporary residents, and that this is not our permanent home! Unfortunately because of their stubborn rebellious and sinful ways, they had to wander in the wilderness for forty years, and only the second generation were permitted to cross over into Canaan, the Promised Land, led by Joshua.

Sukkot is also a shadow and type of the New Millennium, when Christ dwells on earth, with His people, for a thousand years of peace, a prelude to heaven. An incredible time of joy, peace, righteousness, prosperity and health. One thousand years of peace, no fighting, rivalry or disputes, and NO war! There will no longer be any need of hospitals, as sickness and disease will no longer be prevalent! People will live for hundreds of years, like before the flood. There will no longer be the need of law enforcement and Police, no longer the need to lock and secure anything, as righteousness will rule the land! The curse of poverty will no longer exist, prosperity and abundance will be the norm!

Wow it’s all so hard for us to imagine because we live in the complete contrast! But we too, like the Israelites, will have to face our wilderness period, and go through some extremely difficult times, before we can cross over into our Canaan, our Promised Land, the New Millennium. The scriptures constantly remind us, that only those who overcome and are victorious, and who endure to the end, will inherit the promises! Joshua was told to be bold and courageous, and not to be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go (Joshua. 1:9), the same applies to us… S.J.

Beginning of Sorrows 2

Just yesterday(10th Sept 2025) I saw Brandon Biggs, Last Days You Tube video, about the Rapture being in 2028! His argument was that the Tribulation period would start on a Shemitah year and last the whole seven-year period of a Shemitah cycle! The next Shemitah year begins in 2028-2029. This jumped out at me because in my First Edition of Asteroid Impact, I actually said the same thing. “In fact, World War II lasted the full seven years (the Holocaust began in 1938) of the Shemitah (as will the Tribulation period).” P17, P136. Also on P27 I mention about a cycle of four Shemitahs (twenty-eight years) and the last cycle would end in 2029. At first I thought this could refer to the Apophis Asteroid, arriving on 13 April 2029, but if Brandon is correct it could refer to the start of the Tribulation period? “This whole teaching on the Shemitah reveals very strongly, that God is a God of precise patterns and numerical cycles, so it just seems logical that He would complete that four Shemitah cycle.” P29. So yes, this does make perfect sense!

Also if Apophis Asteroid is Wormwood (Rev. 8:11), we know without any shadow of doubt that Wormwood and the first four trumpets happen in the Tribulation period. Therefore, September 2028 would be the last possible year that the (pre-trib) Rapture could happen, as Apophis is only seven months after it. This would mean that Apophis or Wormwood would happen near the beginning of the Tribulation period, and not at mid-trib as Tom Horn previously thought. It also proves my theory that the six seals happen BEFORE the Rapture and BEFORE the start of the Tribulation. As the sixth seal (Rev. 6:12-13) happens BEFORE Wormwood!

Something else Brandon said, was that we had been given a three-year window to bring in the harvest of lost souls, BEFORE the Rapture happens, as God does not wish that any should perish and be lost. If He would come now, MANY would not enter into His kingdom! Could this be a reprieve that God is giving us, so that the last great harvest can come in? Also there are certain things that have not happened YET, so NO the Rapture is definitely not this September 2025, as many are saying it is. I believe this is a cry wolf tactic that the enemy is using to deceive, distract and disapoint many people, who will then not believe when the “true cry” is called!

So what signs are still to happen that we can watch for? For me, the next big event to happen is the Betrayal of Israel, in an attempt to end the Middle East war! This in turn will trigger other major events, such as the six seals (I Thess. 5:3)!!! The second thing that has not happened yet, is the full manifestation of the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the latter rain (Joel 2:23, 28, 29). We have seen a trickle of this, but when it is poured out in full measure, it will happen globally, all over the world at the same time! It could start at the sighting of the sixth seal Asteroid, or during a Pentecost, or maybe during the Fall Feasts, ending with Sukkot? Its purpose is to bring in the last harvest, and for the protection, provision and healing of the people of God, during an extremely difficult time for the world (just like the Israelites were protected in Goshen in the Exodus).

Then the last sign will be the revealing of the antichrist, which will happen, I believe shortly before the Rapture (maybe a few months before)? It will be a ruler we have already seen on the world stage, who will conquer three of the ten regions of the N.W.O. Yes, I know many Bible scholars teach that the church will not see the revealing of the antichrist. But he is revealed three times, the first time is on the white horse, the first seal (Rev. 6:2) which if the church does go through the six seals, then yes we will be here to witness that! The other two revealing’s will be after the Rapture (see blog More on the Antichrist).

So yes, I know we are not to set dates etc., but I have done a revised chart for the Rapture in the year 2028, just to give us some reference to follow. There is NO way of knowing when the sixth seal will happen, as Jesus said He is coming like a thief in the night, when least expected, and by surprise! But we can still follow scripture that guides us to know what happens next, i.e. the Four Horsemen, the global government, and the rise of the antichrist etc… Once the antichrist is revealed to the church, which will be God’s final warning to the world, I believe the Rapture will not be far behind! Only 57 days after the Rapture, the Tribulation period will start, with the signing of a seven-year peace treaty between Israel and the Middle East…

It is also interesting to note that the U.N. is gathering on the 23-24th September to decide on a two-state solution for Israel, this could be very significant?

Killer Asteroid

What size would a killer asteroid be? We know that the earth has been impacted before by a mass extension level asteroid. This giant asteroid is called Chicxulub, which was estimated to be ten to fifteen kilometres in diameter. It created a crater about one hundred and eighty kilometres wide and twenty kilometres deep, at the edge of the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. Scientists believe that this happened around sixty-five million years ago. They proclaim that the dinosaurs died because of thick clouds of dust that blocked out the sun for two years.

But Creationists believe, firstly that the earth is only six thousand years old, according to Biblical accounts. And secondly that the dinosaurs were destroyed (along with all other species, including man and Nephilim – giants [corrupted seed], that were not in Noah’s ark), by the Great Flood of Noah’s day. Is it possible that the giant asteroid Chicxulub, was in fact the asteroid that caused the Great Flood, over four thousand years ago? The earth was rented, releasing the fountains of the deep, and discharging massive amounts of water into the atmosphere, creating hurricanes and heavy torrential rainfall. As well as shifting tectonic plates, causing massive tsunamis? Yes, this size asteroid would have been a mass extinction event, had it not been for the ark. Only the vegetation and water creatures would have survived.

We also know the size of the asteroid NASA have called Apophis (2004 MN4; 99942) which will have a close flyby of earth on 13 April 2029. It is estimated to be three hundred and sixty-four meters wide. Tom Horn believes the Apophis Asteroid is in fact, Wormwood (Rev. 8:11), and are the first four trumpets, which begin five months after the start of the Tribulation period. We can see what damage that size will cause from Revelation 8:7-12.

But is there another asteroid that will impact earth before Apophis (Wormwood)? YES, according to Biblical accounts the sixth seal in Revelation chapter 6:12-13, are stars that fall to earth, and which cause a great and vast earthquake! It is possible that NASA will send nuclear missiles to strike the asteroid in space, in an attempt to divert or diminish it, but this will cause it to be split into two and the second piece to be broken up into many more pieces, creating a shrapnel effect. And still leaving the main one a sizable piece, and maybe even a second smaller one too? So how large will the main one be? Only NASA will be able to give us this information, but to speculate, it could possibly be between 500m – 3km in length? It will still be large enough to cause significant damage, and a global cataclysm, but it will NOT be the end of the world! It will cause a great and vast earthquake (Rev. 6:12) with many subsequent aftershocks. This in turn will activate massive tsunamis across the globe amassing considerable damage, causing great shortages globally (Hab. 3:17); famine, plague, and war will ensue…

The horrors of the six seals will then begin...

Ten Kings

Thank you Gary and Mondo, I love this subject, and you have brought up some very intriguing and valid points! I have to admit I am one of those who hold the “older” dispensational view of a global government! May I humbly put across some of my views and points to consider?

We are already in a form of globalism, and the world is now known as a global village. Because of technology we are able to communicate easily across the globe. Financial transactions which in the not-too-distant past where cumbersome and took long periods and were costly, are now instant and can be made anywhere in the world because of digital banking.

But let’s consider the ten kings. As you have said the Fourth Beast in Dan. 7:7 is the Roman Empire (which all Bible scholars agree). Did you notice that this one verse carries the Roman Empire from its inception right up to its end, and to the very last kingdom on earth (the eighth), with the ten horns? This unequivocally proves that the ten kings come out of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire is represented by iron, which also corresponds to the iron legs of Dan. 2:40. The seventh empire (Rev. 17:10) which comes after the Roman Empire, some scholars believe to be the Revised Roman Empire, is represented in Dan. 2:41 as feet made up of iron and clay. I believe this could represent the European Union as we know it today, consisting of a coalition of twenty-seven countries all under one governmental and financial system. The third part is the ten toes which are an extension of the feet (i.e. they are the same) and are also of iron and clay.

Just a quick sidenote here, Pastor Perry Stone has a plausible explanation of the iron and clay. That the iron represents communism (eastern) and the clay democracy (western), which makes sense, as these two ideologies are diametrically opposed and therefore cannot mix.

We know from Rev. 13 and 17 that these ten horns (kings or rulers) will rule the whole world (Dan. 7:23; Rev. 13:7) and will be the last or eighth empire to rule the earth (Rev. 17:10-11). My conclusion is that these ten kings will be appointed by the same governmental system of the E.U. They will be the ones to introduce what we as Christian’s call, the “Beast System”. A One World government, economy with one global digital currency (mark of the beast), and religion. It is also interesting to note that the E.U. does not initially choose the antichrist as one of the ten kings, as in Dan. 7:8 it tells us that the “little horn” will come up later, after the ten horns are in place. He will force his way in through conquest, as the antichrist will dispose of three of the kings. I believe this will happen during the six seals, when the antichrist conquers (Rev. 6:2) and takes territory of three of the regions (Dan. 7:8, 20, 24). (see More on the Antichrist). I also believe, contrary to what others teach, that the six seals will happen BEFORE the Rapture and BEFORE the Tribulation period. Therefore the church will still be here to identify the antichrist (first revealing) before the Rapture (see Beginning of Sorrows chart). This ALSO means that the One World Order, or beast system will also be instigated during this same period of the six seals (I have always thought that it would be in the Tribulation period). If this is true, then this final beast system, with all its autocratic horrors, will be implemented MUCH SOONER THAN WE EXPECT! It will be devastating for Christians; we will be persecuted for not being a part of their system (see The NWO How Will It Be).

Another sidenote here; a king in our modern-day terms would be a ruler or leader in a governmental position that would rule a country or region – we would call him a President or Prime Minister. Only a very few countries have actual royal kings. Rev. 17:12 amp says ten horns are ten rulers (kings)… Rulers and kings implies governmental leadership and headship over a country or region, which would NOT apply to a technocrat as they have no governmental positions only scientific and technological ones. But it makes logical sense, that the antichrist’s right-hand man would be a technocrat. The term crown in Rev. 6:2 also implies a KING, a leader who has ruled before, in the case of the antichrist, as a President.

As to Rev. 17:12 the kings having no dominion as yet…I believe John was referring to his time…they certain will have in their appointed time, of the ten kings, and the eighth empire!

Another point to consider; we know that the antichrist will rule the whole world (Rev. 13:5, 7), from the mid-tribulation point, and for the last three and a half years. The ten kings will hand over their power and authority to the beast (Rev. 17:13), for this short time. This could not be possible if the world was not already in a global governmental and financial system. S.J.
