  • Apocalypse 6 – the Face of Justice

    If I sharpen My flashing sword,
    And My hand takes hold on justice,
    I will render vengeance on My adversaries,
    And I will repay those who hate Me.

    Deuteronomy 32:41 NASB


    What is already begun

    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.

    Revelation 6:4 KJV

    A second horseman who wields a great sword is sent out to take peace from the earth. Men will kill one another and his horse is blood red.

    • The first living creature was like a lion;
    • the second living creature was like an ox;
    • the third living creature had a face like a man..
    • A creature like a lion sends out a rider with a bow
    • a second living creature like an ox gives a powerful sword to his rider.

    Now another living creature not a man, for like the others it has six wings and is full of eyes — a living creature with the face of a man — a terrible face like one never seen by any man created in God’s image — the third living creature hands the one who sat on a black horse a pair of scales.

    He will weigh what is to be given to men of the earth. 

    The Terrible Face of Justice

    A lion has roared! Who will not fear?
    The Lord God has spoken! Who can do anything but prophesy? – Amos 3:8 NASB

    We are NOT IMMUNE to the #pandemic of sin!
    Martin Luther King "I have a dream" speech

    In March of A.D. 2020, I interrupted introduction to the Gospel of John with prophesy of Amos (linked above).

    “But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream.” – quoting Amos 6:24

    Now, just eleven months later, I maintain the appropriateness of these parallels to US.

    Pictures of JUSTICE & JUDGMENT!

    What YOU think about Justice or about God or even about Jesus may turn out to be just POLITICS.

    The JUSTICE of the LORD GOD will weigh the events of these last days differently than the blind Judgment of mankind.

    Contemplation of Justice and Authority of Law

    Even the US Supreme Court entrance displays the imagery of contemplation of justice.

    A book of laws supports
    her left arm and a figure of blindfolded Justice is
    in her right hand.

    Once the victorious and worthy Lamb of God takes the Throne and opens the BOOK of the LAW, a heavenly HIGH COURT now shows imagery to the Apostle John. One with scales in hand will equally weigh what remains for the PEOPLE after the ravages of war. It is a dreadful sight!

    The Third Seal

    Scarcity on Earth

    Revelation 6:

    5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.”

    Remember, the awesome creature with the face of a man?

    So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.

    Revelation 6:5b NKJV

    Now remember that the four living creatures surround the Throne day and night worshiping the Lamb.

    6 And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying,

    “A measure of wheat for a denarius, and three measures of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine.”

    Famine & Scarcity

    The available food is being measured on the scales equally for ALL, because there is hardly enough for ANY.

    The denarius was a penny — and yet it was one man’s wages for one day!

    The poor will be starving for lack of the “necessities” while those in powerful control will be enjoying “luxuries.”

    John Brown :: Revelation 6:3-6 – source: BlueLetter Bible
    Additional Commentary of John Brown – Excerpts on the Third Seal

    1. This time the horseman carries no weapons. This time it’s a pair of scales!

    a) At the onset of war there is always the promise of a “better world” and a better economy but famine always follows war!!!

    (1) It has been the case in China, North Korea, East Germany, Cuba, and Vietnam.

    (2) The scales as well as the black horse speaks of a time great death upon the earth!

    (a) Lamentations 5:10 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine. (KJV)

    (b) Beating the plowshares into swords doesn’t leave much time for farming!

    (c) There are already, in many countries, long lines for simple things like bread and butter and milk.

    (d) Men, women and children are starving to death all over the world and it has become “common” and accepted!

    What Next?

    As if this were not fearful enough, we know that only three of the four living creatures have called John to come and see the apocalypse of this certain future.

    Even if much is symbolic rather than literal, the remaining four seals of the book yet to be revealed bring all creatures in God’s image to contemplate the very justice of Almighty God.

  • Apocalypse 5 – the Beginning of The End

    Apocalypse 5 – the Beginning of The End

    AWE of things unseen uncovered, creatures of Heaven hardly imagined and devastations of earth unimaginable! This is what the Lord Jesus Christ reveals [ἀποκάλυψις – apokalypsis] to the Apostle John.

    Excepts from Revelation 4: 

    The Throne Room of Heaven

    .. The first voice that I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here …

    .. and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.

    .. Around the throne were twenty-four thrones..

    And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices:

    Revelation 4:5a KJV

    6 and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; and in the center and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.

    ! ! ! ! Living Creatures

    The first living creature was like a lion.. each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within..

    “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come.”

    Revelation 4:8b NASB

    And when the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever,

    the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and they will worship Him who lives forever and ever..

    scroll with seven seals

    5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?”

    .. 6 And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slaughtered..

    8 When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb..

    “Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were slaughtered, and You purchased people for God with Your blood from every tribe, language, people, and nation.

    Revelation 5:9b NASB

    .. 11 Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders..

    “Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing.”

    Revelation 5:12 NASB – the loud praise of thousands of angels

    .. 14 And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.

    Come and see!

    Last time in Apocalypse 4 – Tribulation begins – The End Revealed, after the LAMB opened the first seal we heard the loud voice of the first creature near to the Throne say, “Come.”

    Then we saw a rider with a bow on a white horse.

    He went out conquering and in order to conquer.


    He shall strike down the wicked from afar

    With inescapable arrows from the string of his bow

    The Face of the Lion whose wrath did slay them

    His enemies will never know

    Roger @talk of Jesus {dot}.com

    The Second Seal:

    War on Earth

    • Have you fully fallen in fear and awe before the One on the Throne as the Lamb opened the scroll?
    • Did the ἀποκάλυψις
      • ‘disclosure of truth concerning things before unknown’
      • convict your sinful soul as if you were dead before Him?
    • Could you face any of the four living creatures ever-vigilant in holiness surrounding the Throne of the One Creator and eternal LORD?

    Before we observe the opening of the second seal, returning to The Throne Room of Heaven, let’s look once more upon this scene with the second living creature.

    Revelation 4-5 excerpt:

    .. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne..

    .. and in the center and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind..

    .. the second living creature was like an ox..

    .. Each of the four living creatures had six wings; they were covered with eyes around and inside..

    I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders..

    saying with a loud voice:

    “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
    To receive power…

    .. Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!”

    Revelation 6:

    3 When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!”

    Notice that the second living creature, which the KJV translates, ‘beast also speaks with authority; for these four are nearest worshipers of the Lord God!

    The four living beasts serve the Throne of the LORD — they are His messengers, all similar in power and fearful appearance, and yet different as personalities of man are both alike yet individual. The four horsemen also sent (by the living messengers of the Throne) also differ in appearance as do their horses and the judgments for which each is sent out to all the earth.

    4 Another horse, fiery red, went out.

    And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another;

    and there was given to him a great sword.

    From the unsealed judgment read from the scroll, two have gone out

    – one with a bow to conquer from afar and now

    • a rider who will spill the blood of war by the hand of a mighty rider of the horse red as fire!

    Apocalypse 4 – Tribulation begins – The End Revealed

    For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.

    Gospel of Mark 13:19 NKJV

    HOLY, HOLY, HOLY..

    Looking for the coming of the Kingdom of all Righteousness?

    1:15 אֲהָהּ לַיּוֹם כִּי קָרוֹב יוֹם יְהוָה וּכְשֹׁד מִשַׁדַּי יָבֽוֹא׃

    Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD is at hand, And it will come as destruction from Shaddai.

    Joel 1:15 Masoretic text, Hebrew Names Version

    Like the Prophets before, Jesus also warned that it will come;

    but do not hope for it as a solution to your own woes.

    Almighty God is so HOLY and separated from the earth, even above the heavens as we observe — that mankind can hardly visualize John’s revelation through Jesus Christ, the risen Lamb of God and also the Lion of Judah!

    Jesus, Son of Man and Son of the Father had warned disciples of those who would make false claims after His Sacrifice for sins on the Cross. Yet John, the Apostles and many more disciples had witnessed the truth of His resurrection and obeyed the Lord’s instructions to faithfulness until He will come again.

    Mark 13:

    22 “For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect..

    32 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.

    Apocalypse + The Risen Jesus Reveals The End

    We have introduced the mystery of Revelation and the Apocalypse the Lord reveals through John. Today John takes us UP into the scene of Heaven before the Throne of GOD!

    “Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy

    is the Lord God, Shaddai,

    who was and who is and who is to come!”

    Revelation 4:8 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

    Revelation 5:

    And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice,

    scroll with seven seals
    “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?”

    But no one in heaven, on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it…

    apokalypsis of Good News

    ..behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals.”

    .. And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.

    To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”

    Revelation 5:13b NASB

    scene ii – at the Throne

    Man, born of dust in the image of Almighty God

    and given the spirit of life from Him,

    cannot comprehend that from which creation is separated.


    And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.

    Revelation 6:

    The First Seal + Rider on a White Horse

    Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals;

    and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder,

    “Come and see.”

    And I looked, and behold, a white horse.

    He who sat on it had a bow;

    and a crown was given to him,

    and he went out conquering and to conquer.


    conquering and to conquer…

    So you believe in a gentle Jesus do you?

    Jesus was a good teacher who would never harm anyone, would He?

    Yet that was the Lamb before His Sacrifice — the Lamb crucified on a Cross. The Son of Man now IS a conquering Lion who has defeated death!

    apokalypsis of Good News

    This is just the first seal ..

    revealing the Good News.

    Six more seals will begin to reveal THE END.
