Rev 6:1-8 contains the accounts of the seals also found in Zechariah 6:1-8
Revelation 6
The Seals
1I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!"
2I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
3When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!"
4Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other.
To him was given a large sword.
5When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.
6Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"
7When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"
8I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him.
They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Note the red horse was given a sword and the next, the black, was given a pair of scales.
Zechariah 6
Four Chariots
1 I looked up again—and there before me were four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze!
2 The first chariot had red horses, the second black,
3 the third white, and the fourth dappled—all of them powerful.
4 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, "What are these, my lord?"
5 The angel answered me, "These are the four spirits of heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole world.
6 The one with the black horses is going toward the north country, the one with the white horses toward the west, and the one with the dappled horses toward the south."
7 When the powerful horses went out, they were straining to go throughout the earth. And he said, "Go throughout the earth!" So they went throughout the earth.
8 Then he called to me, "Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit rest in the land of the north."
The angel clarified that these are spirits going out into the world
The Red Horse – The Spirit of Communisim
- given power to take peace from the earth
- and to make men slay each other.
- To him was given a large sword.
Communisim’s color is red – Everywhere communisim goes there is a revolution that takes peace, not only does communists kill their enemies but inevitably kill each other – an estimated 60 million people died during the cultural revolution – the great sword is symboloic of military might as found with Communist countries like the Soviet Union and China.
The Black Horse – The Spirit of Capitalsim
- Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.
- “A quart of wheat for a day’s wages, and three quarts of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
The opposite spirit of Communisim would be Capatalsim, it isn’t about war and power by the sword, the scales are symbolic of trade. Its as if the spirit was speaking a symbolic stock report warning to not hurt the economy.
The White Horse – The Spirit of Catholicism
- Its rider held a bow
- he was given a crown
- rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest
The pope, the symbol of the roman cathloic church dresses in white, the pope mobile and hellicopter is white (likewise what color horse would he chose certainly not black or brown) furthermore note it states he was given a bow it doesn’t say arrows his ammonition is of a different kind
pope gregory the first to take a crown in 960AD
Communism, Democracy, and Catholic Power (1951) Paul Blanshard – contended that almost every conflict in modern history was rooted in these three powers
keys of this blood by malichi martin – stating the same thing.. three powers that rule the world – three geo political structures with the power to rule the world. (going toward a global government ruled by one of the three powers)
The Pale Horse – The Spirit of Death
- Its rider was named Death
- Hades was following close behind
Represents Poverty Disease Famine
The Direction of the Horses Zechariah 6:6
KJV 6 The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.
The Black Horse (Spirit of Capitolism) went to the Northern Countries… the capitolistic countries are in the northern hemisphere and the White horse followed him (catholisim has followed capitalisim esp in europe has been the dominant religion in europe)… the Grisled / Pale horse went south where are the poverty stricken nations – the spirit of poverty disease and famine is seen in South America, Africa – there are countries in africa where teh life expectancy of 40 yrs of age, some nations where half the population have aids.
KJV 8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
note that where the spirit of capitalsim is thick there isn’t strong revival… people are too busy keeping up with the Jones working two jobs no time to pray no time to go to church etc etc.. the nations that are in great revival are the ones that aren’t being ruled as strongly by the spirit of capitalism – the bible paints the picture that the spirit of capitalisim is just as bad as they all pull one away from God.

in 1989 when the Berlin wall came down everyone cried out soclialism is dead – free enterprise won, however now 13 of the 15 members of teh european common market have now voted in socialistic governments… america is quickly going towards socialisim. Note in Rev 2 we were described the combined beast of the one world government we see it again in Rev 17 with one more detail – that it is a red beast. the color / spirit of the one world government.
