[00:00:01] I'm Rich Young iii. And this is an amazing thing.
[00:00:17] I am here to facilitate learning the word of God on a fundamental level.
[00:00:23] So join me and let's grow together and build a relationship with our Creator.
[00:00:29] And that starts now.
[00:00:37] Hello, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining me here. Welcome to an amazing thing. This is our early week show where we cover Bible prophecy, current events, things that happen around the world that may relate to God's prophetic time clock. Our subject today is we the people. While we believe, it's amazing how we can believe certain things from one perspective around the world and someone else may believe from another perspective. And there are people who are embroiled in controversy, starting and fighting wars with other countries as well as with themselves.
[00:01:15] And so this is the subject matter of the today's show. We're going to determine why people see things the way they do, how they think as it relates to their region, what hemisphere they live in, and so on and so forth. We're going to begin by going to the book of Revelation. This is Chapter Revelation, Chapter 5. Let me give you just an overview of what's going on here. John is shown a book.
[00:01:45] The book is sealed up with seven seals.
[00:01:49] Remember, the book of Revelation has a skeletal structure of three series of seven. The seven seals, the seven trumpets and the seven vials. And there's a fourth seven series which is the seven thunders. But John was asked not to record that by God. And so we don't know what these seven thunders uttered.
[00:02:11] So to answer the question today, that is our subject matter is under is found under the seven seals. And so remember, the seven seals are a very long story that ends at the battle of Armageddon and the return of Jesus Christ. The trumpets are a shorter story that begins and ends at the battle of Armageddon and the return of Jesus Christ.
[00:02:36] The vials are, some translations, call it the bowls. That's a very short story that ends at the battle of Armageddon and the return of Jesus Christ. So we know that the seals where we're going to study this particular subject matter today began more than 1700 years ago.
[00:02:56] And we're going to return back now and read some of the scriptures that give us account of what we're dealing with here. This is Revelation, chapter 5, verse 4. John was weeping because no one in heaven or in earth was worthy to open the seals of this book. Now we go to verse six and it says, behold, a lamb in the midst of heaven stood in the midst of the elders and the inhabitants of Heaven and took the book from the hand of him that sat on the throne.
[00:03:30] And when he had taken the book, a new song was sang, saying, the Lamb that is slain, that redeemed us from every kindred nation, tongue and people he speaking of Jesus Christ was worthy to open the book.
[00:03:47] So this scripture tells us that John was weeping because no one in heaven or earth was worthy to open the book. And then the book was opened by the Lamb which was slain, which is Jesus Christ. Now he is worthy.
[00:04:04] The reason he was worthy, because he is our kinsman Redeemer. He came in the flesh, he walked among us. He was tired, he was thirsty, he was hungry, was bad mouthed on the job, and his parents are criticized to his face. And all of these things are things that you and I are confronted with every day on an everyday basis.
[00:04:32] So he is able to judge us. We know that these seals are judgments that are upon the people of the earth that came out of these different places and tongues and nations. And so to make this a little bit more simple, we here in America, we have a judicial system that deals with adjudication from a jury point of view. You can, if you're on trial for some serious crime and they're picking your jewelry, would you want someone from Tennessee or Afghanistan?
[00:05:09] Certainly we would want someone who grew up in a similar circumstances, believe for the most part what we believe here in America.
[00:05:21] And certainly we would want someone who would be considered our peer. And so that's what this whole thing is about. And Jesus is our kinsman Redeemer, because he is the Son of man. And so he was tired, hungry, bad mouth and all these things.
[00:05:37] He walked in our shoes. So therefore he knows what he's like to be a human being and what human beings deal with on an everyday basis. Okay, let's proceed. To answer the questions here, we're going to go now to Revelation, chapter 6, verses 1 through 8, and beginning in verse 1. And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals. And I heard as it were, a noise of thunder. And one of the four beasts saying, come and see.
[00:06:09] 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. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, come and see. And there went another horse that was red. And power was given unto him that sat on the horse to take peace away from the earth. And they should kill one another. And there was given to him a great Sword.
[00:06:42] And he had opened a third seal. And I heard a third beast say, come and see. And I beheld, lo, a black horse. And he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, a measure of wheat for a penny, and. And three measures of barley for a penny, and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And he that opened the fourth seal, I heard a voice from the fourth beast say, come and see. And I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And he that sat on him was death. Hell followed after him. And power was given him unto a fourth part of the earth to kill with a sword and with hunger and with death, and with the beast of the earth.
[00:07:37] I was taught by a wonderful prophecy teacher and a powerful man of God that sometimes, if you can find another account of a particular subject matter in another place in the Bible, it will fill in the blanks of what we don't know.
[00:07:54] They give us more complete picture when you put those two things together. And that is the case here. And so we're going to go to another account of this same prophecy, and it'll give us things that we can fill in the blanks. And that is found in Zachariah, chapter six, verse one through eight. And that's pretty amazing that both of these places that contain the same prophecy would be chapter six, verse one through eight. It could be or could be not a revelation of divine revelation, because we know that the chapter breaks and the things were put in there after these things were written by the publisher. But a sovereign God can certainly control things such as that. So that may be the case starting with verse one. And I turned and I lifted up my eyes and looked. And behold, there came four chariots from between two mountains. And the mountains are mountains of brass.
[00:08:56] In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses. And in the third chariot white horses. And in the fourth chariot, grizzled and bay horses. Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, what is this, my lord? And the angel answered and said unto me, these are four spirits of the heavens which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
[00:09:25] The black horses which therein go forth into the north country, and the white go forth after them. The Grizzled go forth toward the south country. And the bay went forth to, sought to go to and fro, that they might walk to and fro the earth.
[00:09:44] Get ye hence, walk to and fro into the earth. And he Said, get ye hence, walk to and fro in through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth, then cried upon me and spake unto me, saying, behold, those that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
[00:10:07] Well, let's break this down. It's telling us now that these are four spirits that are belief systems.
[00:10:15] The chariots that go forth tend to be what we believe from a spiritual point of view and ideology.
[00:10:24] The Bible says they go forth from between two mountains that were brass. Well, we know the brass symbolizes carnality. You know, the Bible says a tinkling blash and a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal which represents the human and human flesh characteristics. And so let's break down these figurative horses, and they are figurative horses. And so we'll start to break these down and get an idea of what the word of God is trying to say to us here.
[00:10:58] So in Zachariah it says that the chariots from between the two mountains, which are brass, and we just broke that down, that those are to symbolize the driving forces.
[00:11:12] The chariots and the horses are belief systems.
[00:11:17] And we'll begin with the white horses, with the chariots in order to represent them. We'll look later to give us a time frame when these things are released.
[00:11:30] I believe that the white riders driving an ideology and the chariots are driving a belief system.
[00:11:37] And that ideology is influenced by religion because it's the official policy of the Catholic Church that the Pope should wear white.
[00:11:47] White symbolizes holiness and purity.
[00:11:51] The Pope's vehicle, the Pope mobile, is white. The Pope has a helicopter that travels in. It's also white. The Pope travels on his longer fights abroad. A jet airplane called Shepherd 1 that's supplied by Italian airlines. It's especially for him, and it is white. If the Pope rode a horse and was driven by a horse drawn chariot, I wonder what color it would be. Well, you know, it would be white, of course. And the prophecy said a crown was given unto him.
[00:12:28] The rider on the white horse was given a crown. And we know that Pope Leo III was one of the first Popes to wear a crown.
[00:12:38] And it was called the Papal tiara.
[00:12:40] And so we don't see it a lot anymore. But from time to time they do wear that crown.
[00:12:48] The prophecy of the white horse said he was went to conquer and was conquering. He had a bow, but he didn't have any arrows. We know that this signifies his using different type of weaponry, which is oratory as well as spirituality.
[00:13:06] Now we move now to the Black horse and the clues that are given in this prophecy. The black horse rider was carrying scales or balances which are one of the symbols of trade and more so fair trade, just as equality, commerce, trade is what the balances represent. And a lot of buildings and things throughout Europe and other parts of the world, anywhere there's trade, banking and that sort of thing, you're gonna see balances on the sands. Not so much here in America, but in other places we do. The black horse rider utters something in a voice. A measure of wheat for a penny, three measures of barley for a penny. And see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
[00:13:52] Well, that sounds an awful lot like a prophetic stock report.
[00:13:58] Dow Jones Industrial up so much. S and P 500 down so much. And you will suffer if you hurt the oil and the wine. Well, we know this because here in America we just came through a major election where President Trump's administration, his administration defeated Harris was which was a part of the previous Biden administration.
[00:14:21] Not because of foreign policy. It wasn't because of very many things other than in my opinion, the price of a chicken.
[00:14:29] Everybody has something. You don't have to know very much about foreign policy, but you know how much a chicken costs when you go to the, to the market to buy that. And so the, not only that, but the, the rate of inflation had climbed to record heights and, and that hurt the economy.
[00:14:51] And so that is what is connected to how we think when we live where we live. And that's what the next part of this is talking about. The prophecy says that the black horse went into the North Country.
[00:15:06] Most of the have countries are, are in the Northern Hemisphere. United States of America. We live in the Northern Hemisphere. We are people who have.
[00:15:15] Some of the have nots live in the Southern Hemisphere. You could be here in America, big on the side of the road and bring home three or four hundred dollars a day just begging. And so that is the kind of wealth that the northern countries in the Northern hemisphere have here. And the Black horse and in the Northern hemisphere was released at a particular time. We know in the 1860s, the Rockefellers and Standard Oil all the way through the 20th century, the Mellon family and the US steel and such like the Industrial Revolution. So we can get a time frame to when we think these things began and continue to shape our thoughts and how we believe certain things.
[00:16:03] The prophecy In Zachariah, chapter 6, verse 8 says that the horses that go toward the north country quieten my spirit. So the Northern Hemisphere Belief system, the horse that went the north that are the half countries that quietens God spirit. Why? Because we tend to not have as many needs as people do in other places where wealth is not so readily available.
[00:16:32] You know, you can, if I got the money to go and accommodate any need that I have, you know, we're going to pray for you. No, there's a specialist that lives in, in a certain city. I go see him. You can afford to go and do those things. I had a pen pal that lived in a southern hemisphere country and we would talk online and I would always see where there was great revival going on. Many, many people coming to know the Lord and, and being baptized in the name of Jesus and so forth. And I asked her, why was there so much revival in your country? Every time I see you post something several times on your page, you're always talking about how many people came to revival, how the church was packed with the people. 25 people received the gift of the Holy Ghost and things such as that. And she said that we have to have a relationship with the Lord. If the Lord doesn't give it to us, we won't have it.
[00:17:33] She said that I have a job. I want the lucky few in my community who do. And I wouldn't ask for a raise. I wouldn't dare ask because I can so easily be replaced because there's not many jobs and opportunities where I live.
[00:17:48] So that's certainly what would show exactly what these scriptures are saying to us. And sometimes a blessing can be a curse because the people who have wealth and these kinds of things, they don't so readily need God and pray to him for things to help us. And we know that need is one of the things that drives us toward God and prayer and such things.
[00:18:17] So that kind of gives us an explanation of what this is talking about here. Now, the red horse. Let's talk about that. That's the power given unto him that sat on the red horse to take peace from the earth.
[00:18:32] I think the red power is probably the easiest for us to recognize because we, when we see red or red nation, our red place immediately comes to mind. Red China, Red Russia and, and so forth. And they kill one another.
[00:18:51] Even though they have adopted different political views, they still are influenced by the red belief system or spirit as they fight and kill one another.
[00:19:01] We are seeing this in our present time. Right now, at the time of this recording, we're seeing Russia and the Ukraine at war.
[00:19:10] Now both of those are in red places. As far as the region that they're in Ukraine has claimed that they have implemented democratic socialism or social democrat is what they call themselves.
[00:19:31] And a lot of their practices still would fall under the area of communism. But, but they're fighting with the, with the Russian red power as we speak and dying with great numbers that we haven't seen in a long, long time. And the Bible says a great sword was given to the red horse rider. Well, Russia has a dominant sword and so does China. They both are nuclear powers. So the Bible says a great sword was given unto him that ride the red horse. And that is signifying communism and a socialist ideology of that writer. I heard a person say one time they came from the former Iron curtain of the Soviet Union, say democracy where we are gives people too many choices. He said, I come from the old Soviet Union behind the Iron Curtain. We had one choice, do what they say.
[00:20:29] And that's what it's like living with that type of belief system spirit that looms over you. We remember Vietnam and Korea. Both those wars were started by red powers and the red ideology, which is communism.
[00:20:46] Look at the red flag that China has. It's red. The flag that Russia has also is red. So these prophecies, these prophecies about this belief system is perfect.
[00:20:59] That goes along with what we know and we can see for ourselves.
[00:21:04] Now the pale horse, according to most translations and most concordances, says this should be translated green because the root word that was translated here is the word chlorose. We know that chlorose is green. Chlorophyll is what makes the green grass, the green trees and such. So that should have been a green horse.
[00:21:29] And for the sake of this, we will call it green and our pale green.
[00:21:35] Over the last few years, Islam has become a prominent, prominent part of events. Presently Islam is, you know, when you look and see Islam on television or in magazines, they're covered with a sea of green. Green flags, green, different things. And so we happen to know that from the Quran green was Muhammad's favorite color.
[00:21:58] The green horse rider was given power over one fourth part of the earth. Islam claims anywhere from 1.9 billion to 2.1 billion, depending on where you get their census numbers from our followers. And that certainly would be 1/4 of the world's population because the world's population is now sits at about 8.1 billion people according to most census reports. And so the prophet is the prophecies that says the writer sitteth upon the green horse or the pale green horse was death and hell followed after him. You know, no Religion or ideology on earth glorifies death like Islam does, you know, martyrdom, you know, and that's such a cornerstone of, of their religion. And that guarantees an afterlife in heaven with the attention of 72 virgins that you'll be attended to throughout eternity. So if you can, you know, be a. Drive a plane into a, a building or explode a suicide, this in the midst of a bunch of people who you would consider not followers of Islam or blow up a pizza shop with some innocent bystanders, the Bible would consider that form of martyrdom. Murder. A suicide bomber flying a plane, that is certainly murder. So the green horse country. The green horse glorifies death. That certainly would fit Islam. The green horse rider went into the south country. Most Islamic belief system is in Africa, South Asia. So that certainly would fit. In the southern hemisphere, power was given to the green horse to kill with a sword. And we happen to know that Islam is one of their favorite methods of killing. It would be beheading with a sword.
[00:24:04] And so that certainly would fit.
[00:24:08] They kill with hunger and the death.
[00:24:11] Well, we know that most of the southern hemisphere places are places. In some places they are starving.
[00:24:18] I remember when I was a kid and we didn't want to eat what was served to us by our parents. My mother would say, they're starving children in Africa. And I remember seeing pictures of those kids growing up in different parts of Africa. They were really skin and bones and they had this belly that was malnourished in that whole thing. And so it was a terrible thing to see. So death was certainly able to kill with hunger. And another part it says the beast of the earth. Some translations translate that a little bit farther and say beast, your man of the earth. And if that's the proper translation, we certainly would see Saddam Hussein as a beast, your man. He would gas people using all kinds of outdated, brutal weapons such as mustard gas and stuff like that to. To attack his enemies. And so. And so would the Assad, the Father and the Son. And so those kinds of things are certainly a part the green horse and what they glorified, what they'll do and their behavior and what they believe.
[00:25:35] And certainly that would, would fit that. Now let's move to the grizzled horse, because the grizzled horse is connected to the green horse in the prophecy. Zachariah, it says it does. It goes into the south country.
[00:25:51] We know that the moon God of Mesopotamia and Egypt was called Sin or Nana have the same characteristics as Islam, and so did some aspects of BAAL that existed long before Islam came to be. And so they have some of the same symbols and some of the same tendencies. The symbols, you know, the crescent moon are symbols used by Islam and they were also used by these predecessors of Islam.
[00:26:21] And so we know that Islam is a compilation of all these different belief systems and they glorify death as well. We know BAAL would sacrifice children and different things such as that. And the Bible says it was a strong horse.
[00:26:35] So many, many countries that have a faction of Islam there, we, they tend to try to appease them. But Islam, the Bible says this is a strong horse and Islam doesn't want to be appeased. If you try to please Islam, they see that as weakness. And then they become strong and start to propagate Islam in more stronger than they were even propagating it before.
[00:27:02] And so that certainly sounds like the Islam and what we see when we think of them and that belief system that they have and the ideology which is that green horse rider.
[00:27:14] Let's move now to the bay horses and chariot. Now, the bay horse is a less vibrant color, but it is red nonetheless. And the prophet, the prophecy says that the bay horse sought to walk to and fro through the earth.
[00:27:31] Socialism by many is thought less abrasive than communism. Many nations around the world have adopted something they call democratic socialism, well, which is a red spirit nonetheless, which seeks control of its people. Communism is a political ideologist. Socialism is an economic system, that which is that bay horse which they use to lead and guide and to dominate people. And we know that, that more and more people are adopting this because the socialist part of social democratic socialism gives them control. If I can control the money, then I can control you. And so that is what that bay horse represents. And you know, we're going to have future lessons where we go more into detail in these specific things and determine how these things are going to affect us in the future, what the answer to these things are. And so the democratic socialism is certainly something, because we have something that is going to come shortly in the future.
[00:28:41] The new world order is gaining speed and territory, and the New World order is a part of that democratic socialism. And once they gain control of the world, there will be a leader of that democratic socialist beast that is going to ride that beast, and that man is going to be known as the Antichrist. So that's why these things should be important to us so that we can maybe prevent some of these things from taking hold where we live now. We know most of the world is going to go along with it. And we will have lessons in the future that will show us what the future is for a lot of us. Now we know. Let's, let's recap this. We know that the white horse is Catholicism.
[00:29:26] We know that everything that the Pope does is white. We know that Catholicism began around 325 AD. I know that many people say that it began with Peter. I don't believe that that history nor the Bible will back that up. But we'll study and see what the Bible says about it. It won't just be my opinion. We know that the black horse goes into the northern hemisphere. We here in America are in the northern hemisphere. And we certainly fit the criteria of what that horse was supposed to be about.
[00:30:01] The red horse. I think we all agree that that would fit. A huge sword was given to it. You know, it's amazing how Vladimir Putin can go and invade a country and people are afraid and won't hardly even speak against him. And so that certainly fits. And China has been building up economic surpluses for the last 30 or 40 years and they're building up their military. And they certain had certainly have a people that live behind a communist cloud that they can't enjoy the freedoms that a lot of the places in the world do. So that certainly fits. And in the different aspects, the grizzled horse, that is a characteristic that became Islam along with the characteristics that the green horse had. And I think all those clues certainly fit. And then we have the bay horse, which is the monetary system, that is a socialist, communist minded kind of thing that as it gains strength, it gains control.
[00:31:04] And I believe that fits. And so we have to start off with simple lessons such as this. There is certainly much, much more that we could cover that have to do with these belief systems, but we certainly have to do them. They're probably things that are going that I'm talking about right now that you probably never heard of before. And so we certainly want to cover enough so that when we bring these things up, you'll know where they are in Bible, Bible prophecy of where they are and where we are right now in the Bible. So we are going to cover these in the future and you certainly will learn a lot more. And we'll be right back after this message.
