If your sound is on, you are listening to “Death Will Never Knock on Heaven’s Door,”

Rev. 6:8 “ And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”

The “pale” horse Rev. 6:8 is actually a “green” horse. I suppose the reason translators have favored translating the Greek word, “chloros,” which means green, as pale instead of green is because they did not believe that Jesus could mean for us to think of a horse whose color is not found in nature. But I believe that a green horse is exactly what He intended for us to think about. Chlorine was so named in English because chlorine gas is green. The Greek word, Chloros, is used in three other places in the New Testament and in all of those other three places it is translated as green. Green is the color of grass, and grass is the symbol of people who are withering from being isolated from the Spirit of God. The green horse represents all of the people who have heard the Gospel and have rejected it. They are described by Isaiah and Peter as grass that withers from the heat of the Spirit of God when he blows upon them. Death is the rider of this green horse, and Death has been given control over these who through the fear of death are all of their lifetimes now subject to bondage.

These are the only two options that God gives mankind. Choose Jesus or Choose Death. Jesus and his church are spreading the gospel message over the earth, but Death rides the green horse of those people who are rejecting this message. Hell is said to be following after Death and the horse he is riding. Those who reject the gospel message are going to be subject to bondage all of their lifetimes from the fear of Death who is riding them, and who now has control of their reins. As mentioned previously, American began her journey into the dark caverns of the fear of death when two generations of Americans refused to stand up and be counted in the struggle for freedom because they were afraid of dying. Now they are becoming so afraid that they have to hide themselves in all manners of diversions to escape facing the harsh realities of life, the foremost of which is that it is appointed unto men once to die and after this the judgment. The “people is grass,” and those who choose Death are withering from the fear of their Choices.

One of the ways we are told that these fearful people are going to die is by the sword of war. Wars are prescribed until Jesus comes back to earth again in person. Men who hold political, economic, or religious power over the people are not going to relinquish those powers freely. Often times war is required to set men free. The rider of the red horse of Democracy has been given the authority to take peace from the earth using the great sword that has been placed in his hands. The purpose of such warfare is to spread the Christian Mos Maiorum of freedom over the earth and set mankind free. The reason warfare is necessary is because the forces of Satan despise freedom, for they know that when the Light is free to shine, the darkness will always retreat.

So the symbols of the four horsemen in the Apocalypse represent the commission of Almighty God ordaining the spread of a culture over the earth that is based on the religious power of faith in Jesus Christ, and the political power of Democracy, and the economic power of Regulated Capitalism. Wars are predetermined in this process, and as long as we are hearing of wars and the rumors of wars we are to understand that the end of our time to spread the gospel has not arrived.
