Summary of Revelation 6
We read about the first four seals of the scroll bringing four horseman. The white horse brings a man of conquest elected by mankind and cloaked as “good”. The red horse brings war and conflict and removes peace from mankind. The black horse brings scarcity and inequity imparting hunger and famine. The pale horse brings death representing a massive death toll unimagined and not yet experienced throughout history. The fifth seal brings forth the cry of the martyrs who lost their lives in the name of Jesus Christ. We will soon find out that opening the sixth seal brings cosmic disruption.
Takeaways
- The great lie, “You can be like God” is the heart of sin. Sin is living apart from God, the bible is telling us the history of mankind apart from God and Revelation is the culmination of this story.
- In the end God will justify all the wrongs and will recreate the world as perfect.
- For those who have followed Christ, they will be rewarded with everlasting joy and God’s kingdom.
- Those who have denied Christ will be dealt with justly.
