GOD is Love, Jesus Christ is the manifestation of the FATHER in the flesh, thus Jesus Christ is Love manifested. This must be the premise we view the final book of the Bible: The Revelation of \u201cLOVE\u201d. This fourth horse has been preached to be the scariest horse in Scripture:<\/p>\n
Revelation 6:7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, \u201cCome.\u201d <\/p>\n
8 So I looked, and behold, a pale (GREEN) horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.<\/p>\n
This Scripture taken out of context is what horror movies are all about\u2026 fear of death. The movie industry generates billions of dollars by scaring people with scenes where the people are killed and maimed by an out-of-control villain. The carnal man lives in fear daily. In reality, Jesus conquered death and has paid the price for us to have eternal life. Paul expressed this to Timothy in the following passage:<\/p>\n
2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.<\/p>\n
8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, <\/p>\n
9 who has saved us and called us<\/em> with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, <\/p>\n 10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who<\/em> has abolished death<\/u> and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,<\/p>\n Moreover, in the Book of Revelation, Jesus Himself says:<\/p>\n Revelation 1:18 \u201cI am<\/em> He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.\u201d<\/p>\n Does this sound like Love is going to go around and wipe out close to two billion people in one fell swoop? Of course not! The pale horse description was translated thus because the interpreters were attempting to focus on death rather than Love. The horse is described as \u201cgreen\u201d in the Greek. The word \u201cpale\u201d was used here only since it was in the same sentence as death. Green typically represents life, growing, or living. It was first used in Mark 6:39:<\/p>\n \u201cThen He commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.\u201d<\/p>\n This is the horse of Life who is called to come into our land to evoke death thus life comes by death of the carnal man. The Sword of the Word brings the finality of death to the old man in us. The carnal man would have us externalize any reference to death to protect itself from certain removal. It is all about misdirection.<\/p>\n Romans 8:1 There is<\/em> therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. <\/p>\n 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death<\/p>\n If I am made free from the law of sin and death, then this horse isn\u2019t to be feared as countless sermons have suggested. Those who evoke fear want to maintain control, whether it be a bully, a government, a preacher, or your carnal man. The source is always the same, the \u201canti-Christ\u201d; anyone or thing that replaces \u201cChrist\u201d in you the hope of Glory. Life swallows up death just as light swallows up darkness. Darkness is the absence of light, light is not the absence of darkness. Think about it! When corruption puts on incorruption, the former is swallowed up and death is swallowed up in victory. It is overcome by Love. Paul writes of this revelation in 1 Corinthians after in chapter 13, he describes the 16 facets of the infinite facets of Love. As a foundation of Love is established, he proceeds at the end of this letter to write about the victory over death and the last enemy to be destroyed is<\/em> death.:<\/p>\n 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. <\/p>\n 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed\u2014 <\/p>\n 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. <\/p>\n 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must<\/em> put on immortality. <\/p>\n 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: \u201cDeath is swallowed up in victory.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u200b55 \u200b\u200b\u201cO<\/em> Death, where<\/em> is<\/em> your sting?<\/em><\/p>\n \u200b\u200bO Hades, where<\/em> is<\/em> your victory?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u200b56 The sting of death is<\/em> sin, and the strength of sin is<\/em> the law. <\/p>\n 57 But thanks be<\/em> to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.<\/p>\n We MUST view this fourth green horse from Love\u2019s perspective of putting on the incorruptible life and understand exactly what must die. We must read this passage in relation to all the rest of the Scriptures speaking of life everlasting. Consider Philippians 3:21 for it is Jesus Christ: \u201cwho will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.\u201d What is there to be afraid of? Embrace the mission of the green horse and yell out \u201cCome!\u201d<\/p>\n Each of the seven seals must be broken to release us fully from our current state to the fullness of our callings as Sons. We must embrace the mysteries of each seal as they apply to us individually. Death must occur in us and it is done by life swallowing it up. Don\u2019t run from the purging fiery sword, run to it. The rider of this green horse is none other than Jesus Christ who took away death. The death spoken of in this passage is taken away by Life in Jesus Christ. This is the fourth and final horse concluding the process of the other three horses. \u201cA fourth of the earth\u201d is the last portion to be dealt with\u2026 death in finality. Jesus eliminated death by him dying on the cross. This is contrary to man\u2019s reasoning: kill or eliminate death by \u201cdeath\u201d. The four horses were called to do four things to us internally:<\/p>\n 1) Conquer the lawless inhabitants of your land by illumination and revelation;<\/p>\n 2) Bring for the consuming fire to purge and purify, removing the \u201cpeace\u201d of the old man;<\/p>\n 3) Bring forth the black darkness associated with the old man having been compared to the light and revelation of Jesus Christ as we experientially pass through the three feasts of maturity;<\/p>\n 4) Kill the evil desires in your members with the Sword of the Spirit, starve the desires of the flesh unto death, kill \u201cdeath\u201d with death, and finally use the beast nature of men to complete the trials and tests to assure victory over the old man. The bestial nature of men will rise up as opposition to assure your full maturity and perfection have arrived by verification.<\/p>\n The first four seals begin the unveiling of Christ in us. The old man must die in order that we might live and the Rider of each horse is OUR LORD. All four horses must \u201cgallop\u201d through our land and accomplish their purpose in order that we be found acceptable to be NAMED as sons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" GOD is Love, Jesus Christ is the manifestation of the FATHER in the flesh, thus Jesus Christ is Love manifested.
