The Fiery Red Horse of Revelation

Rev 6:4  And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 

  The red horse and its rider is obviously come for war and blood. The Holy Bible has prophesied that the ten confederate nations surrounding Israel would burn the great whore mystery Babylon with fire. While the red horse signifies blood and war, Esau or Edom, the rider of the red horse who  hates Jacob is described as red in the Holy Scriptures.

Red Horse

Luk 21:9  But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. 

Luk 21:10  Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 

Mat 24:8  All these are the beginning of sorrows. 

  The great sword given to the rider on the red horse will kill and destroy.

The beginning of the hatred between God’s chosen people and Esau.

Gen 25:23  And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. 

Lord Jahavah said that Esau would be the servant of Jacob.

Gen 25:25  And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. 

Gen 25:30  And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.

'ĕdôm    'ĕdôm   ed-ome', ed-ome'

From H122; red (see Gen_25:25); Edom, the elder twin-brother of Jacob; hence the region (Idumaea) occuped by him: - Edom, Edomites, Idumea.

Gen 27:38  And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. 

Esau shall live by the sword.

Gen 27:40  And by thy sword shall thou live, and shall serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shall have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. 

The ten kings shall have dominion in the time of great tribulation with the antichrist beast.

Gen 27:41  And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. 

Gen 27:42  And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee. 

The prophecy of Amos specifically speaks of a perpetual everlasting hatred and anger of Edom toward Israel by chasing him with a sword.

Amo 1:11  Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever: 

Num 20:18  And Edom said unto him, Thou shall not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword. 

Rev 13:10  He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 

Jesus said:

Mat 26:52  Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. 

Here is the punishment of Edom who shall die by the sword:

Eze 32:29  There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit. 

Eze 25:12  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them; 

Eze 25:13  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword. 

Mount Seir is an area of Edom where the wicked Horites were displaced and intermixed with by the people of Esau.

Gen 36:8  Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. 

Gen 36:9  And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir: 

Gen 36:21  And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom. 

Eze 35:3  And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate. 

Eze 35:4  I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD. 

Eze 35:5  Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end: 

Eze 35:6  Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee. 

Eze 35:7  Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth. 

Eze 35:8  And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword. 

Eze 35:10  Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there: 

Eze 35:11  Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee. 

Eze 35:12  And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume. 

Eze 35:13  Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them. 

Eze 35:15  As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 

In the last days Edom and his fellow nine cohorts shall take the land of Israel temporarily.

Eze 36:2  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession: 

Eze 36:3  Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people: 

Eze 36:5  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Edom, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey. 

The Lord God uses Edom to punish the evil doers of his own people with a sword.

 

Lev 26:25  And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 

Amo 9:10  All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

Edom shall no longer be the servant of Israel and have dominion as one of the ten kingdoms written about in the books of Revelation and Daniel who receive power as kings to rule with the beast during the time of great tribulation.

 

Lam 5:8  Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand. 

Rev 12:3  And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

Rev 13:1  And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Rev 17:3  So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Rev 17:7  And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

Rev 17:12  And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 

Rev 17:13  These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 

These ten horns hate apostate Christians and Jews just the same as Christ and true Christians.

These ten kings and kingdoms hate Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

Rev 17:14  These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. 

Rev 13:7  And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 

In the very last days of the antichrist beast all nations will be under his power and shall hate Jesus Christ and his people.

Mat 24:9  Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.

The great sword of the red horse appears to be the fire of nuclear weaponry.

Rev 17:16  And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 

The ten kings and kingdoms also hate Mystery Babylon who is spiritually apostate Jerusalem, the mother of all the apostate churches who are her offspring.

Isa 4:3  And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: 

Isa 4:4  When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. 

Dan_7:7  After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

Edom and his nine neighbors make up the ten horns which surround Israel and wherever they have migrated to shall make an alliance and agree to eradicate Israel and all God’s people.

Psa 83:2  For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 

Psa 83:3  They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 

It is very likely that the interpretation could be consulted against them secretly. There are numerous scriptures that speak of the righteous being persecuted and killed secretly.

The story of Haman and his ten sons in the book of Esther represent a foreshadow of the time of great tribulation for the Most High God’s people as Purim is cast by their enemies to destroy them from off the planet.

Est 3:8  And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them. 

A bounty shall be put on the heads of all Christians and Jews.

Est 3:9  If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries. 

Est 3:10  And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
