Four Winds, Four Horns, and the Four Horses of Revelation

Jesus Christ was the only one in heaven that was worthy to take the book or word of God and break the seals. It is the Lord Jesus that reveals the mysteries of the word of God.

(Rev 5:5) And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to OPEN THE BOOK, and to LOOSE THE SEVEN SEALS thereof.

When the seals are broken the four beast, or cherubim's are the ones that say come and see. They reveal who the four horses or four winds are. The four horns or horses are the ones that walk to and fro throughout the whole earth. These powers are represented by the four horns of the altar. They are spirits ordained of God. We know that Satan, which is the spirit of the Old Man is one of these powers.

(Zech 1:8) I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a RED HORSE , and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there RED HORSES, SPECKLED, AND WHITE. (Zech 1:9) Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I WILL SHEW THEE WHAT THESE BE. (Zech 1:10) And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to WALK TO AND FRO THROUGH THE EARTH.

(Job 1:7 KJV) And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

I believe that the four horses in the Book of Revelation have the same rider represented as the Lord. I believe that the Lord God is a mighty warrior (Bow) the Lord God carries a (Mighty Sword) (is the Word of God) and I believe that he is a just God that gives righteous judgment (Fair Balances). God alone has power to give or to take life. (Death) can only be given by the hand of the Lord. The Lord has all power over all powers. The horses represent spirits or powers that God alone controls. God created all powers. It is a fact that the rider of a horse has power over that horse and directs that horse. We know as a fact the Lord has all power over the powers that work within the earthly realm and heavenly.

The Book of Revelation is the revelation of Jesus Christ and reveals that Jesus Christ along with us is reigning with power and might.

(Rom 13:1 KJV) Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

(Col 1:16 KJV) For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

(1 Pet 3:22 KJV) Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

First we see that God controls the four winds that will scatter Israel throughout the world. I could offer many verses stating God would scatter Israel but will only use a few to prove my point.

(Zec 2:5 KJV) For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. (Zec 2:6 KJV) Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD. (Zec 2:7 KJV) Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

Notice the mention of the four winds of heaven.

(Lev 26:33 KJV) And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.

Notice in the above verse that the Lord himself will draw a sword and that he slays them and makes their land desolate and their cities waste. The rider of the red horse has a sword. The sword is the word of God.

(Ezek 5:5 KJV) Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her. (Ezek 5:6 KJV) And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them. (Ezek 5:7 KJV) Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you; (Ezek 5:8 KJV) Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations. (Ezek 5:9 KJV) And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations. (Ezek 5:10 KJV) Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds. (Ezek 5:11 KJV) Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity. (Ezek 5:12 KJV) A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. (Ezek 5:13 KJV) Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.

(Deu 4:27 KJV) And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.

The Four Winds in the Book of Zechariah scatter Judah or Israel. The four horses or powers in Revelation are the same spirits.

(Zec 1:18 KJV) Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. (Zec 1:19 KJV) And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.

(Zec 2:6 KJV) Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.

We notice also in the Book of Zechariah that there are Four Carpenters, which will rebuild Israel or Jerusalem. These Four Carpenters are the Four Beast of Revelation or Cherubim's.

(Zec 1:20 KJV) And the LORD showed me four carpenters. (Zec 1:21 KJV) Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.

God gave power unto the gentiles against Israel until the days of the gentiles be fulfilled. These powers of the gentiles and of Satan were ordained of God.

First Seal

(Rev 6:1 KJV) And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. (Rev 6:2) And I saw, and behold a WHITE HORSE: and he that sat on him had a BOW; and a CROWN was given unto him: and he went forth CONQUERING, AND TO CONQUER.

God almighty does use the bow.

(Lam 3:12 KJV) He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. (Lam 3:13 KJV) He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.

One of the four beast or cherubim's says come and see. The first horse or the first of the four winds is revealed.

This, of course, is symbolic of Jesus and his power and it has a spiritual meaning. I know how most are preaching verse (Rev 6:2). They believe this horse and rider represents ANTICHRIST.

The power, spirit of God, or Holy Ghost is represented in coming as the sound of a mighty rushing wind. Ezekiel prophesied unto the wind and it brought breath unto Israel on the day of Pentecost. This is when God called Israel out of all nations under the sun. Here again we see the spirits of the four winds at work.

(Ezek 37:9 KJV) Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

God gave us the Holy Ghost and the power of the bow of God that shoots the arrows of God into the heart of the enemy.

(Luke 10:19 KJV) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

We are mighty warriors that ride white horses or the Holy Ghost and have all power over the enemy. We sit in heavenly places and rule through the power of the Holy Ghost now. We are a warrior like Jonathan.

(2 Sam 1:22 KJV) From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.

(Rev 19:14 KJV) And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

We know that the Lord came to conquer sin or death. We also know that he also conquers death and hell. God also uses a bow to shoot his arrows into his enemies.

(Hab 3:9 KJV) Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. (Hab 3:11 KJV) The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.

God's bow or the strength of his word was made into sin and made a disgrace by Israel. God divided and made a breach by the rivers that went forth.

(Num 24:8 KJV) God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

To conquer means to prevail, overcome, and to subdue. We know that the Lord overcame, subdued, and prevails over all of the ways of evil. God has given us power over every way of Satan. God's word is pure, truth, full of white light, and gives us life. This power or white horse is going forth to and fro in the earth also.

A bow represents strength. God is the strongest power that is at work out of all the powers. There is no doubt that the rider of the white horse is God almighty. He is being betrayed as a mighty warrior the lion of the tribe of Juda and not as a lamb. His saints are riding upon their white horses with him through the power of the Holy Ghost. We are conquerors and more. We have strength through the bow or word of God, which shoots the arrows of God.

(Rom 8:37 KJV) Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

(Exo 15:3 KJV) The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name

Second Seal

(Rev 6:3 KJV) And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. (Rev 6:4 KJV) 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.

The Red Horse represents another spirit or power going forth in the earth. Remember the rider of a horse has control of it. The Lord controls all spirits.

Did Jesus come to bring peace to this earth? Jesus only brings peace to the ones that are not of this world. There will only be death unto the ones that do not accept the Word of God.

(Mat 10:34 KJV) Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

The Word of God can bring life or destroy. The Word of God has caused many to be killed for the true faith. Many have used the Word to literally kill (Jim Jones) etc. Many have killed one another with the word of God. Only antichrist that knows the word has any possibility of causing death by deceiving a believer. Remember what the word of God states that it is.

(Heb 4:12 KJV) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

James stated to the ones that were carnal many things were still taking place in them. The word of God will either kill the old man and raise you to a life in Jesus Christ, or it will harden the old man until his soul becomes reprobate and totally dead from sin. It will bring forth the resurrection of life or it being wrested in them will bring forth the resurrection of damnation.

(James 4:1 KJV) From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? (James 4:2 KJV) Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. (James 4:3 KJV) Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

(Mat 24:9 KJV) Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

(Luke 12:51 KJV) Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: (Luke 12:52 KJV) For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. (Luke 12:53 KJV) The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

(Rev 13:10 KJV) He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

If you kill with the word of God by wresting it and misusing it then God will slay you by it. The law or the word of God unfulfilled in us is death. The law fulfilled in us through Christ Jesus is life. The law is the power of sin.

(1 Cor 15:56 KJV) The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

(Rev 6:5 KJV) And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. (Rev 6:6 KJV) And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

The spirit or power of the black horse representing judgment goes into the earth. The balances are the most important subject that should be looked at concerning the rider of this horse. God always told Israel to have a just ephah, which measures grain, and fair balances. Balances always deal with justice and fairness. Balances are not associated with famine in the word of God but with justice.

(Lev 19:36 KJV) Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.

(Job 6:2 KJV) Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!

(Ezek 45:10 KJV) Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.

God is a just and a fair judge. God gave fair judgment unto Belshazzar.

(Dan 5:27 KJV) TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

Since these balances were just and fair the oil and the wine, which were the good things of God were not hurt. I would like to see the scripture that the traditional teachers are using to show that balances represent famine. Due to righteous judgment God did send famine unto Israel but God controlled this spirit.

THE PENNY I BELIEVE REPRESENTS THE LABOR INVOLVED THAT WE MUST DO. (Mat 20:2 KJV) And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. WE MUST STRIVE TO ENTER INTO HIS REST. (Luke 13:24 KJV) STRIVE TO ENTER IN AT THE STRAIT GATE: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

I have agreed to work in God's vineyard or garden. All are judged by their works and fair judgment is given when we are weighed in the balances.

Ephah - Hebrew374. 'eyphah, ay-faw'; or (short.) 'ephah, ay-faw'; of Eg. der.; an ephah or measure for grain; HENCE A MEASURE in gen.:-ephah, (divers) measure (-s). There are no definitions in the Greek for ephah or balances.

Balances in the Hebrew means: H3976. mo'zen, mo-zane'; from H239; (only in the DUAL) a PAIR of scales: -- balances. H239. 'azan, aw-zan'; a prim. root [rather indent. with H238 through the idea of scales as if TWO EARS]; to WEIGH, i.e. (fig.) ponder:--give good heed. Simply do you HAVE EARS TO HEAR? Are you WEIGHING THE WORD?

The ephah in Zechariah means the same thing as the ephah, or balances carried by the black horse. This ephah was lifted up by the two women in Zechariah.

(Zech 5:6) And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth. (Zech 5:7) And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a WOMAN that sitteth in the midst of the EPHAH. (Zech 5:8) And he said, This is WICKEDNESS. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the WEIGHT of LEAD upon the MOUTH thereof. (Zech 5:9) Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out TWO WOMEN, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the EPHAH BETWEEN the earth and the heaven. (Zech 5:10) Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these BEAR the EPHAH? (Zech 5:11) And he said unto me, To BUILD IT an HOUSE in the LAND of SHINAR: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

Israel divided and became two evil women. God weighed both of them in the balances and both were found lacking. They wrested the word of God and became Mystery Babylon.

(Rev 6:7) And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. (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.

It is God that kills with the sword, the famine, the pestilence, and the beast of the earth. God alone can take a life and remove the breath or spirit from man.

God also kills by the beast of the earth he used she bears and lions. God used the gentiles or men that are beast. Nebuchadnezzar was used when he was no more than a beast to destroy Israel. This applies in the natural and in the spiritual.

(2 Ki 2:23 KJV) And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. (2 Ki 2:24 KJV) And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

(1 Ki 13:24 KJV) And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.

The time of the gentiles is a time of destruction upon God's people not a time for the gentiles to be saved. It is a time of raging men that are beast.

(Luke 21:24 KJV) And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

The name of the Lord was death unto these children and it was death unto the ones that used it in vain in the Old Testament.

(Exo 20:7 KJV) Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

God does kill. We will examine some of the language used by Jeremiah in the book of Lamentations. He brings death unto the old man and unto the ones that refuse to accept his ways.

(Lam 2:20 KJV) Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord? (Lam 2:21 KJV) The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied. (Lam 2:22 KJV) Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD'S anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.

(Job 14:14 KJV) If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.

(Heb 9:27 KJV) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Our days are numbered by God and only he can allow death.

(Job 14:5 KJV) Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

When David numbered Israel and sinned God gave him a choice of, which of these spirits or horses that were going to and fro in the earth would come to punish him.

(2 Sam 24:13 KJV) So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me. (2 Sam 24:14 KJV) And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.

God pronounced judgment against what David had done he was weighed in the balances and found guilty. The spirit of death would now fall upon Israel. God controlled this spirit of death and hell. Seventy thousand men died from Dan even to Beersheba.

The four horses or winds are the powers of God that work. All of these powers were created by the Lord and for him. The Lord God alone rules these powers and controls them. God is the rider or authority over all powers that work in the earth. It is he that even sends lying spirits that deceive.

(1 Ki 22:23 KJV) Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.

God has set up judgment against anyone that despises his way and his commandments and they shall be slain and die.

(Lev 26:15 KJV) And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: (Lev 26:16 KJV) I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. (Lev 26:17 KJV) And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

The four winds or horns are the powers that God uses to correct his people and to destroy the wicked. These are the powers that are ordained of God. God rides the winds of these powers.

(Job 28:23 KJV) God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. (Job 28:24 KJV) For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven. (Job 28:25 KJV) To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ unto the saints. The seals of Revelation are broken by the lamb of God our Lord.
