Dear brothers of the community:

We, @elPastor and my wife @mamidalia, who are servants of Jesus Christ, send greetings to all of you, who belong to the special people of God in the blockchain and are united to Jesus Christ.

Greetings also for the leaders and apostles of Steemchurch.

May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, love you and give you peace.

Introduction:

In the last days after the great rapture of the Lord's church, the earth will undergo a trial period equivalent to the duration of the last empire of men on earth where we all know that the central figure of that period will be the Antichrist. . According to the week of the years of the prophet Daniel, it will be a period of 7 years (Dan 9: 26-27), in which the Antichrist or better known as the beast will have a deceptive power given by God to finish deceiving those who are lost, because they did not receive the love of the truth to be saved (2 Thessalonians 2: 8-12).

Certainly, it will be a time of anguish as expressed by the prophet Daniel in chapter 12: 1. In this sense, the present message will focus on the development of the seven seals that in chapter 5 of Revelation the Lamb of God is the only one worthy to take the book and open its seals. In chapter 6 we will find the content of the stamps. Each seal represents a judgment of God on the earth in punishment of the evil of the men who will be under the deceitful power of the Antichrist. Anyone who does not worship the beast and does not allow himself to be marked by the beast and persevere to the end will reach salvation, even if he loses his life because of the persecution that Antichrist will unleash against all those who seek God and adore him (Revelation) 20: 4).

I invite you to enjoy this message by emphasizing the first four seals and to expand your study through all the biblical quotations that we will be sharing. Blessings for all.

First seal: The winner: Control of international political power

"1 I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice of thunder: Come and see, 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering, and to conquer. "
Revelation 6: 1-2

White is a symbol of purity and peace. Some scholars say that the one who rides this white horse is Christ. Now let's see who is riding the white horse of Revelation 19: 11-15

"11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and he that mounts it is called Faithful and True, and with justice judges and fights: 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and many crowns were on his head; and he had a name written that no one knew but himself.13 He was clothed in a garment dyed in blood, and his name is: THE WORD OF GOD, 14 And the heavenly armies, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed him in white horses, 15 out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, to strike the nations with it, and he will rule them with a rod of iron, and he treads the winepress of the wrath and wrath of almighty God. "

Realize, beloved brother, that the one who rides the white horse of Revelation 19 is the VERB OF GOD and does not bring a bow, but a sharp sword to hurt all the nations for their evil and rebellions, do not forget that we are talking about the judgments of God. Who is the Word of God? Jesus Christ made flesh (Jn 1:14). When he comes, he will come to fight to the end of the forces of evil and at the end of the Great Tribulation is when he will reign from Jerusalem on all the peoples of the earth who have survived the judgments of God; and his reign will be for a thousand years.

So, who is riding the white horse in this first seal?

If we review the week of Daniel's years (9: 26-27), we will find that it is midweek, that is, after 3 and a half years; when the Antichrist will be given the absolute power to persecute and kill and destroy and produce wars between nations and violently persecute Christians (Daniel 7:21 and Revelation 13: 7).

The question is, what will the antichrist do in the first three years and means?

As we read in the introduction to this message. He will have a deceptive power, he will pose as a man of peace (false Christ), he will bring reconciliation between the nations that can be at war, he will make an alliance with many nations to establish a feigned peace, he will make the conflict between Israel and Palestine be achieved for a Peace and Security Treaty; It will create the single currency in which all nations can relate in a simple way, establish a program of economic growth for all nations (Daniel 24-25 and Revelation 13: 3). How will this be? Remember that within your powers you will perform many miracles, wonders and wonders. The word says that the whole earth will be admired of the beast.

All this will happen in the first three and a half years of his reign. Then he will cause the continuous sacrifice to cease in Israel until he sits in the temple of the Jews, pretending to be God and asking everyone to worship him as a God (2 Thessalonians 2: 4).

Dear reader, when we review the second seal, we will find that the peace that the white horse rider of the first seal brings is removed by the horse rider of the second seal.

So, this coincides with what Daniel expressed. At first the Antichrist offers a simulated peace, when he takes off his mask in the middle of the week, this peace is cut off and what comes on the earth is persecution, death and destruction.

This terrible dictator will have in his hands the lives or destiny of millions of people, All his satanic power is directed against God, whom he will blaspheme; and against the saints, whom he will persecute.

I invite you to observe and read now, what comes in the second seal.

Second seal: Conflict on Earth

"3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature, saying: Come and see, 4 And another horse came out, red, and he who was riding it was given power to take peace from the earth, and to kill each other. one another, and a great sword was given to him. "
Revelation 6: 3-4

The rider on the red horse is the symbol of civil war and violent conflict in peoples and nations.

Realize, dear reader; that what Daniel says is fulfilled, that in the middle of the week, he will make himself known; the peace feigned by its deceitful powers will come to an end, then it will make war against all the saints, that is, there will be no peace but persecution, wars, hatred, since it will cause them to kill each other; Remember what the Lord said: that because evil has multiplied, the love of many will grow cold, this will make them give themselves to each other to be thrown into prison.
When the feigned peace is removed, you can imagine how many wars will occur in that short period of three and a half years. This will be a terrible period of much bloodshed.

Third seal: Scarcity on earth

"5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying," Come and see. "And I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand. half of the four living creatures, which said: Two pounds of wheat for a denarius, six pounds of barley for a denarius, but do not harm the oil or the wine. "
Revelation 6: 5-6.

The black horse is a symbol of the global economic crisis for that period of three and a half years of great tribulation. The problem will not be so much hunger, but terrible inflation and scarcity. Remember that all this is produced by wars and the rest of the trials that will occur in this short period. In ancient times with denarius that was the wages of a worker could be purchased eight times the amount of barley under normal conditions, now with the strong crisis that will be unleashed in those days, it will be impossible to easily buy food. It is for that reason that the Antichrist will deceive many so that they let themselves be sealed and can buy food.

This will be frightening and terrible. It is time to turn to Christ wholeheartedly and give more importance to the sacred matters of God and not let ourselves be distracted by what does not edify the people of God.

Fourth seal: Mortality on earth

"7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living being, saying, Come and see, 8 and behold, a yellow horse, and he that sat on it was called Death, and Hades followed after him; given power over a quarter of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and with the beasts of the earth. "
Revelation 6: 7-8.

Yellow: Color that represents illness and death. The Hades tomb symbol.

Dear reader, you can imagine the great mortality that there will be in that short period of great tribulation, the terrible outbreak of diseases and numerous deaths due to the great scarcity and hunger in the earth and the devastating wars. The fourth part of human beings will die with sword, with hunger, with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Everything you can imagine will happen here, it will be.

He who has an ear, hear what the spirit says to the church.

The seven apocalyptic seals generalize the judgments of God on earth in the period of the great tribulation. The first four seals focus on the deceptive peace, wars, famines and deaths that will occur during the Antichrist's rule.
The call to the church in the present time is not to ignore all these events that will happen after the rapture of the church.
Watch and pray, because we do not know the day or the hour.
Blessings for all. Amen.
