In the Holy Bible the book of revelations is called the Apochriphy. Tells about foretold events. People could argue that all of the events have taken place, except for the raprture of "The Bride of Christ." The Church of Latter Day Saints, Jehovah's Witness, The Baptist, The Methodist, The Pentecostals. All of these church "Denominations" saythey have a handle on things. All say this is how you get to Heaven. Then there are churches, institutions of the "Left Hand Path." Could Muslism bea left hand path. The Muslims Mahdi is their savior but the Christians Anti-Christ. One thing for sure parallels the 4th horseman of the apocalypse, that is the rise of Islam. So lets visit this text.
Revelations 6 starting at verse 6; And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beast 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.
(Here I think the 'oil' refers to the Old Testament oil used to anoint priest and kings. I think the'wine' refers to the "New Wine "of the New Covenant Jesus Immanuel the Christ of God established with his "perfect sacrifice.")
vs( 7): And when he had opened the fourth seal, (4th), I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
vs(8): And I looked and behold a pale horse; (pale green), and his name that sat onhim was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the foruth part of the Earth, to kill with sword, (organized armies), and with hunger (drought and famine are usually connected), and with death, (ISIL, Al Quida, War lords etc.), and with the beast of the Earth. (Lions, Tigers, Bears etc)
As an environmentalist I can play with this. Increase global temperatures by a few degrees then all kind of hings happen. Longer hotter summers, shorter maner winters . People and animals die because of storms and drought. Trees burn down, deer lose their homes and predators get hungry. We become todays entree. What aboutthe fear that God put in the animals after the flood. Well today we routinely encroach on wildlife habitat and they still need a place to live, fear is replaced by tolerance,then curosity, and next thing you know raccoons,squirrels, geese, and what not are now your new neighbors. Didn't I mentinon that insects staya round longer too. Yeah, West NIle virus, Swine Flu's, etc.insects are the carriers and they have to eat too!.
So of all of the Horseman, the 4th one is my biggest concern. We will see where all of this leads too.
