Hang on now, we are heading into the somewhat scary portions of Revelation. We must remind ourselves that this book is written in response to Jesus crying out to His Bride, The Church! He speaks out of love and concern. He speaks clearly and simply, just as He did when He walked and talked on this earth. Tonight’s message is found in Rev 6 as He begins peeling back the 7 seals (and they aren’t circus animals bouncing balls off their noses). These seals are what kept the Godly Plan of Salvation from being revealed until the proper time; His total and complete picture of bringing The Light into the darkness that the dEVIL and his angel spirits has been cast into as they were cast out of heaven. You see, we often forget what was here before the earth and mankind was created. Gen 1:1-2 say a lot with very few words. satan and his army were cast out of heaven into DARKNESS and chaos. In many ways, they were in a hell; the absence of GOD. But our Redemptive Lord, couldn’t leave it alone, so HE spoke LIGHT into that darkness even before the sun, moon, and stars; just like HE reached into our lives before we recognized our need. HE is letting His church in on the reality of evil and the limited power of the dEVIL on this earth in his territory. It should help us understand that this darkness affects us all. This isn’t heaven on earth. We are the presence of Heaven, On the earth, In the dEVIL’s territory. These horses reveal The Lord God coming into a war. Our victory isn’t an earthly utopia. It IS His peace in the midst of darkness and chaos.
