Revelation:6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I saw the Lamb open one of the seven locks .
I heard the voice of one of the four living beings call ,
Come !
It sounded like thunder .
*
And I looked and saw a white horse .
The man who rode on it had a bow to shoot arrows .
A gold crown for his head was given to him .
And he went out fighting to win the victory over his enemies .
*
When the Lamb opened the second lock ,
I heard the second living being call ,
Come !
*
And another horse came out .
It was red .
The man who rode on it was allowed to take peace away from the earth ,
so that men would kill each other .
The man who rode on it was given a long knife or sword .
*
When the Lamb opened the third lock ,
I heard the third living being call ,
Come !
I looked and saw a black horse .
The man who rode on it had scales in his hand to weigh things .
*
I heard a voice among the four living beings .
It said ,
Four cups of wheat for bread will sell for a days wages .
Twelve cups of barley will sell for a days wages .
But do not destroy the oil and the wine .
*
When the Lamb opened the fourth lock ,
I heard the fourth living being call ,
Come !
*
I saw a horse the colour of ashes .
The name of the man who rode it was Death .
And the one who controls the world of the dead followed him .
They were given power over a fourth part of the world .
They could kill people with a sword ,
or by making them go without food to eat ,
or by making them sick ,
or with wild animals .
*
When the Lamb opened the fifth lock ,
I saw the souls of people who had been killed .
They were under the holy table where incense is burned .
They had been killed because they believed Gods word and said they believed it .
*
They called in a loud voice ,
Lord ,
you are holy and true .
How long will you wait before you judge and punish the people on earth because they killed us ?
*
Then each one of them was given a white gown to wear .
They were told to wait a little longer for the other Christian brothers .
Those who worked with them for the Lord would be killed as they had been .
*
I saw the Lamb opening the sixth lock .
The earth shook very much .
The sun became very dark ,
like the black cloth people wear to show they are sad .
The full moon became red like blood .
*
The stars in the sky fell to the earth .
They fell like figs that are not ripe when the fig tree is shaken by a strong wind .
*
The sky was taken away like paper being rolled up .
Every big hill and island was shaken out of its place .
*
The kings of the world ,
the great men ,
the army captains ,
the rich people ,
the strong people ,
every slave ,
and every freeman hid themselves in holes and the rocks on the big hills .
*
They called to the hills and to the rocks and said ,
Fall on us !
Hide us so the One on the throne will not see us .
Hide us from the Lamb who is angry with us .
*
The great day has come ,
and he is very angry with us .
Who can stand before him ?
