The Four Horsemen are not Prophecy

[Scott Free]

Hello, I just want to address the use of the Four Horsemen that “Go throughout the earth!”(Zechariah 6:1-8) and the Seven Seals (Revelation 6) in relevance to end time prophecy.

    The seals do not seem to be opened in any specific order. The first seal is simply stated as "one of the seals". The first seal can also be seen as describing false christ in general as the next three horsemen can just as well be seen as spiritually appraised descriptions of the human condition across time as they were already present in (Zechariah 6:1-8). The fifth seal can refer to the Great Commission and the creation of the Church. The sixth seal seems to be echoed again in the fourth trumpet and/or the seventh bowl. This is too vague and subjective to demonstrate the power of the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ in laying out a comprehensive timeline of End Time events. The seals seem to be outside of a time reference, giving a broad view of an era and does not fall into the tight linear progression of specific events found in the Trumpets or Bowls.

Interesting thought. Does this coincide with Jesus Mark 9:[43] And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched.

Obviously there is always a spiritual truth to what is recorded in scripture (approved by who). 

Good question to consider.

 It is from a place of foolishness we seek out wisdom. We have been given a spirit of sound mindedness, not to be inflated with pride over partial and incomplete knowledge
