Thank the Lord tonight for the good song service. Thank the Lord for His blessings upon us. It's been a while since we've heard that group singing. It sure was good to hear that. Thank God for that special singing. If you would, I'd like you to go ahead and turn your Bibles to Revelation chapter 6. Revelation in chapter 6. Tonight we are standing back as we watch the Lamb of God begin to open the seals of the book. Now, in tonight's study, we're, by the grace of God, we're gonna look at the first four seals. These coincide, they kind of run together with each other, so I would ask that you pray for us as we open these, this Word of God up, and as we, again, as I've been trying to get us to really take our mind and go there. I want you to, like we did last week around Revelation chapter five when we saw that great host of people and angels gathered around the throne of God, when the book was held up and the question rang forth who was worthy to take the book and open the seals thereof, John began to weep because no man was able to do that. There was nobody able to take a hold of the title deed to the earth and to all creation. But right in the middle of everything, and again, I begin to say that and I begin to just, I feel chills run all over me, right in the midst of everything that was going on. up stood the Lamb. And He said, I'll take that book. And tonight as we look at this scripture and these first eight verses of scripture here in Revelation chapter 6, the Bible says, And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard as it were the noise of thunder. I mean, again, I want your mind to go there. I want you to hear with your ears that thunder as Jesus Christ began to unroll that scroll. And upon the breaking of the first seal, the Bible says this, and I heard as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, come and see. Think about it. And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow. And a crown was given him. Remember that too, that's a very important phrase. The crown was given to him. And he went forth conquering and to conquer. The second seal now. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, come and see. And there went out another horse that was red. And power was given to him that sent thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. And there was given unto him a great sword. Verse five opens the third seal. This third seal is the seal of famine. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And behold, and lo, a black horse, and him that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 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 or the wine. The fourth seal, being the seal of death, it is now this. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice come forth from the beast, saying, Come and see. And I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And his name that sat on him was Death, and hell followed him. and power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth to kill with the sword and with hunger and with death and with the beast of the earth. Now, as we look at these four horsemen, this has often been noted as the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Sad to say there's There's people in the world today that lay claim to that title. These, I think if I'm not mistaken, some wrestlers or something like that have laid claim to the title, The Four Beasts or The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Friend, I want you to know here tonight that this is a title that has been given and it is a destruction that's coming upon the earth. What we are about to embark upon in this land of which we now know as the earth is something that is far beyond our imagination. And the only thing that we can see right now that tells us anything about it is what's found in the Word of God. God's Word opens up with this promise that all His Word is truth and it shall come to pass. But as John, as he began in this vision to see this great spectacle, can you just imagine his eyes? Can you imagine his deep sense of sympathy even for the world in which it was to come? The world in which we now live, folks, is being primed for this very event to take place. The four horsemen of the apocalypse is even now being readied on the world stage. Things are being set up. There are things that are happening in this world today that coincide with the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Things that are being set up and staged for the opening of the seals that we are mentioning tonight. This world is being primed. It's just like that old well over there that's a pumping away. It had to be primed to get started. And once it got started, listen, I want you to know something, that old well kicks on every now and then. That old pump begins to pump forth that which is lying in the ground. But folks, I want you to know something. When this event begins to unfold in this world, there will be no stopping it. As a matter of fact, there is no stopping it even now from happening. It is coming to pass whether we realize it or not. What we see here is a vision. But this vision will come to pass, folks. This vision as we see it tonight is beginning to open up before us, and I want us as Christians to know and to see what lies ahead, not for our safety, but for the hardship that lies out for the unredeemed that will be left here. You see in chapter 5, it shows that we were already gathered around the throne of God in heaven. When chapter six begins, you're talking about the day of tribulation as it begins to unfold, and that's what the vision is opening up for us here. We see immediately upon the opening up of this seal, you see everything that's being groomed in the world tonight. The world economy, that system is being groomed and set up for the first seal that's going to be opened up here. Friend, I want you to know something tonight. This is a serious matter. And it takes a serious mind to understand it. And I want us to grasp a hold of this because we have lost loved ones around us. that are gonna face these awful times if they're never to be saved. If they're never saved by the grace of God, if they never come to a point of repentance in their lives, if they never come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, they will face this awful time known as the tribulation. So I pray tonight that you're praying. I ask God tonight to deal with your heart as a saved individual. Realize what we've been saved from and be so ever thankful for it. As I said, you think things are getting bad now. As we look at all the things that are happening in this world, as I spoke to this morning, there's some funny reason why all of a sudden they're wanting you to be careful with your change and your money, your tender. I'll tell you why, because they're saying it's all of a sudden disappearing. I don't know where it's going. You want me to tell you where? It's being played out, folks. It's being played out, and there's coming a time when, as this world system begins to carry on, you're gonna see an end to what we know as hard money, cash money, Change, so to speak. Today in the society in which we live, we have been groomed. I'd say nearly 95% of us are already using some form of card in order to make purchases with, whether it's a debit card most of us use. Friend, I want you to know something. There's coming a time in this life when no man is gonna be able to, I don't care how much money you have hid back somewhere in a mason jar buried in the ground, you're not gonna be able to use it. You're not gonna be able to spend it. You're not gonna be able to use it in any form, fashion, because listen, it's just like the old Confederate money now. I mean, it's no good. You know, I used to know where a whole trunk of that stuff was, a whole trunk of Confederate money. And the person that held this trunk, I mean, it was one of those big shipping trunks, you know, like they used to carry on the wagons. We've got one of them at our home, and I knew of a person that had that, and there was all kinds of that Confederate money in there, all kinds of it. But it was no good. All of that money was no good. I don't care how much of it was saying it was there. There could have been $100,000 in that trunk, but it was no good any longer. That's the same way that the money system in which we now know is going to take place. It's going to be no good. There's coming a time when, and it's being trialed now in Europe, and it's going to be phased in all over the world. You know, it's already been mentioned that if people don't have this vaccination for the COVID-19, they're not gonna be allowed to buy and purchase in stores. That's one thing that's being told even now. And the only way that they can find out if you have that vaccination is that they're gonna put a chip in your hand. You're gonna have a thing under your skin that's gonna let the people know as you come through the store, as you scan through to come into the store, it's gonna let them know whether you have the vaccination or not. If you don't have the vaccination, you don't get in the store. Folks, I'm telling you, these things are coming upon this land. And again, I'm not saying that to be a doom and gloom preacher. I was talking to the men in the prayer room, and to me, this is one of the most exciting times in a Christian's life, to be able to live in such a time as now. I go back and I think about Esther. I think about the words that was told to Esther, that maybe just perhaps, you're here for just such a time as this. Christian, you're here for just such a time as this to make a difference in this world tonight. With your attitude, with your demeanor, with your faith, that, my friend, is important to get a hold of. So as we open up this study tonight, I want us in our minds, I want us there as we are beginning to watch the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, as He took the scroll out of the hands of the ancient of days, and He begins to break the seals. One by one, He's gonna unroll that scroll. It's called a book in the scripture, but it's actually a scroll. And as those seals break, you're able to read what's laying in the scroll. So tonight, let our minds go there. Let us now be contemplating upon the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Heavenly Father, dear God, as we humbly come before your throne tonight, we do thank you for the blessed privilege of once again gathering in this house of worship with thy people. Father, as we anticipate the time of going home, we know according to thy Word that it cannot be much longer. So Father, I pray that you'll bless us tonight. Help us, dear God, to be thankful. Help us to rejoice in our great salvation in the escape of wrath. Father, I pray that you'll bless us tonight. Open our minds. May our eyes, our spiritual eyes see what John saw in his vision. Lord, we'll praise you, and we ask, dear God, you forgive us our sin in Christ's name, and amen. In Revelation chapter six, in verse one and two, the Bible says, 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. He cried out aloud, and he said, come and see. And John said, And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and him that sat on him had a bow. Now, I want you to really get a hold of this. I want you to see this white horse as it comes out now. And I want you to realize that the horseman on that horse had a bow. This is a bow, a bow and arrow. But he had the bow. Continue to have your eyes focused upon that scene. And he says again in verse 2, And I saw him behold a white horse, and him that sat on it had a bow, and a crown was given unto him, and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. Now, as we open up this first seal, and we understand again that the saints of God are in heaven, we have just been raptured out of the scene, we have gone through the beam of seed of Christ, we have come into the second day of worship, into the very ancient of days as He held the scroll in His hand, and He yelled forth, the angel yelled forth, is there anyone worthy to open the book thereof? Then the Lamb stands up in the middle. He says, I'll take the book. I'll take the scroll. And He took the scroll. And now He begins to open it up. Now you've entered into the tribulation period. You come into this point in time in life when the world outside here is going to be in total chaos. When all the saints of God, when all the redeemed of the earth are raptured out of this scene, there's going to be total chaos worldwide over. You're going to see planes falling out of the skies. You're going to see buses and vehicles begin to take their demise because they no longer have a driver. The rapture has been called out and now the tribulation begins. And all this great scene before us, there is such chaos in the world. There is everything going on. Listen, he who now restraineth has let go and he is gone with us. That Holy Spirit, He's the restraining, He is that restriction that even now that Satan must abide by or else. But listen, I want you to know when God's people are taken off the scene and the tribulation begins, you're gonna see a time of utter chaos. There's gonna be times of upheaval in all the world. Not just in America, but all over this globe. You're gonna see upheaval everywhere. So what you're gonna see, you're gonna see men fighting for power. You're gonna see men struggling to making ends to all the chaos and they're gonna be making promises worldwide over that they're the ones that's gonna be able to come and bring stability once again. They're gonna explain away the rapture. They're gonna explain away why all of a sudden billions of people the world over have disappeared all at one time. I believe that men are being groomed for that even now with all these stories on History Channel of alien abduction and all that thing. They're gonna try to explain all this away. But here, as we see this, you're going to see one man take the rule who's going to be able to offer peace and he's going to be able to bring that peace for a time. That's where you see the bow with no arrows. There's where you see the bow with no arrows. He doesn't have to use any power at this time. He's using His finesse, His ability to speak. He's using all these oratorial voices to be able to speak to the world over, to calm the nerves of everybody, to get everybody settled back down. You know, in the world in which we live today, I tell you what, there's some leaders that they're causing chaos all right. I mean, there's leaders all over the world that are causing chaos. Our leader's causing chaos. Listen, I pray for our president every day. And I'll stand with him as long as he still keeps with the Word of God and keeps doing the things that's good for Christians. And I believe that he's here for just such a time as this. This world is being groomed and being set up, folks, whether you realize it or not. And I don't necessarily believe that he's the one that's going to bring peace to the world. You can see the leftists and everything that's going on in the left side. Listen, he's too divisive for this world. He's not the man of peace that, you know, because everybody's saying, well, I believe Trump's the Antichrist. No, I don't believe that. The one that comes forth is gonna bring peace to the whole world, folks. He's gonna offer peace to the Israelite. He's gonna offer peace to the Jewish nation, and he's gonna win them over. by allowing them to go ahead and start up with their sacrificial offerings again. You know that? Do you know that right now upon this earth there's a strain of the red heifer going around that is being groomed for just such a thing as this for the offerings, for the sin offerings, and they're having grain offerings offered now? Listen, I want you to know something. This world is being groomed, and the man of peace that comes forth, the Antichrist, he's gonna conquer this world without ever firing a shot. What was said about America? America was gonna be conquered without even firing a shot. Now that's what Russia said a long time ago. You know what? You look at what's happening in this nation today, folks. You talk about communism taking over, you're talking about the grill of warfare that is beginning to envelop and implode upon our nation. We are seeing the very onset of these transactions taking place. Now we're seeing everything take place right before our eyes. Why can we not wake up and understand what is going on? I want you to know this. I don't mean to burst anybody's bubble. But listen, this government does not have you in your best interest. They'll tell you everything in the world to try to get you to do whatever it takes. But listen, I want you to know they're not thinking of you. They're thinking of power. They're thinking of that is what they're thinking of. Now, when the Antichrist comes on the scene, he's gonna be a man of eloquence. He's gonna be smooth talker. He's gonna be that one that's gonna be able to win your heart in an instant. He's gonna be that one who's gonna do everything that you need. Why would he carry a weapon? Why does he need an arrow? He's got the power. He's got the weapon, you see. But he didn't need the ammunition. The Bible says that this rider on the white horse is coming in, and he's coming in and he's going to bring peace to the whole world. For the first three and a half years, The Antichrist is gonna make everything, he's gonna smooth everything over, folks. People, listen to me. The lost around us, the lost that are hearing our word today, they're gonna believe a lie and be damned. They're gonna believe the voice of the Antichrist, and they're gonna, listen. People, I mean, We look at the situation of life right now, and I'll be honest with you, I didn't know how bad it was until, well, we're used to providing our vegetables, beef, chicken, eggs, I had a little thing happen with a cow. I've only got one cow. You know, I've only got one to give me meat. Well, she lost a calf. I'm out of meat now. I went to go buy some meat. That was a trip in and of itself. Listen, not only was the price so exorbitant, I wasn't about to pay for that, but listen, Think about this now. Wherever you go, you can't hardly find nothing like it no more. I don't know what was going on, but I'll tell you this, people are getting set. This world is being set for the government to start taking over and taking care of you. I'll put that in quotations. Don't worry, we're here for you. I've heard that. I've heard that mentioned. And listen, as we look at this and we understand that when He is, and again, you've got to know, the Bible says that this man was given a crown. The word for crown here in the Greek is stephanos, and it is a victory garland is what it is. It's not a diadem like Jesus Christ wears. Jesus Christ wears a royal crown. There's the difference, my friend, in the diadem and the stephanos. That is, there's two completely different crowns, but that crown was given to Him. Christ earned His. Amen? Christ earned His crown. And that's the reason why His is a diadem. Now, as we move to this second seal, I want you to look at this for just a moment now. In 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 it talks about the fact that there's going to be a time when this man of sin is revealed. On the onset, nobody suspects that this is the devil's agent. Nobody expects that this surely can't be the devil's agent, this can't be the Antichrist. He's doing too much good for us and we are comfortable with what he's doing. We'll let him have it. You see what's going on in the world today? This nation itself is letting the government take her freedoms away. We are not letting them take them away, but we're giving them away. That's the main problem. I would say, I dare say that if the government would come in and began to try to take it from us, we would fight. But we're giving it away. We are giving away our freedoms. Our religious freedoms are being given away. We're giving it away. Now, this second horse that comes in is a horse, is a red horse. And again, one of the elders speak up. One of those old men of God says, come and see. And here comes the red horse. Here comes the rider thereon, the rider of the red horse, and here is the, you know what this represents? This represents war. You know what's gonna happen when people begin to buck against Antichrist? There's gonna be worldwide, there's gonna be wars, and rumors of wars beyond measure. Listen, there's gonna be a great killing field take place. Listen, I want you to know today, that during the tribulation period when the 144,000 are saved, listen, those of the Jewish nation, when those people are brought forth, every last one of them's gonna die. Every one of them's gonna be martyred. Every one of them's gonna give up their life for the cause of Jesus Christ. You know what they're gonna be doing while they're here? They're gonna be witnessing to the glory of Jesus Christ Friend, I want you to know this. Today's the day of your salvation. Today's the day of grace for you that are here, even in this house of worship tonight. You're hearing about the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ and his salvation. You're hearing the truth of the future events that are about to unfold upon us. For those who hear that, there'll be no tomorrow. There'll be no second chances. when you have heard the way of truth and you refuse it. The Bible says you're gonna believe a lie and be damned and that means that you're gonna believe that that one out there that says he's Jesus is Jesus and you're going after him regardless of what situation you're in. Listen, I don't care. You know in the world today we have many antichrists. We have many today that are coming forth and saying this is the way to heaven, that's the way to heaven. You know what, there's only one way to heaven. And that's through Jesus Christ, him crucified today. Today's the day of salvation. You're not promised tomorrow. But here as the red horse comes in, this is the rider that brings forth war. He begins to bring forth, and he begins to bring forth destruction. There's gonna be worldwide chaos and destruction once again when Antichrist begins to go back on his promises. When Antichrist, as he has offered Israel there in Jerusalem, that offering of the grain offering and the red heifer shedding of blood and the offerings that are being made there, he's going to stop it all right in the middle of it. Right in the midst of the tribulation period, right in the middle of all that's going on, he's going to stop his gratuitous attitude. And he's gonna begin to come down hard upon that little nation again. That's when we see the abominations begin to take place in the temple. When that pig is slaughtered there, we're gonna see all kinds of chaos begin to break forth because of that. That's when The Bible speaks about the fact that there's going to be wars and rumors of wars. These are things that are about to take place. Here the Bible says this again. In verse 4, 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. Now, as you look and you start running this great sword down, This great sword is not necessarily what you would think of as a sword. It is actually a short dagger. If you look and you cross-reference all this in the Greek, that's what it is. It's a short dagger. You know what short daggers were meant for? Assassinations. There's gonna be those kind of things take place in the world yet to come. There's gonna be world leaders. You know what happened when Saddam Hussein, when he felt threatened by people, you know what happened? He didn't care who it was. Son, he took them out. This little fellow that's over in North Korea right now, you know what he does to people that he finds as threatening to him? He assassinates them. He kills them. even if it was his own uncle. These things happen. But folks, they're gonna happen on a worldwide timetable. There's gonna be much of it going on. Again, we see here that this second seal speaks about the fact that there's gonna be a great deal of this going on in that time. There's going to be blood, and there's going to be war. The Bible spoke to the fact that all power, not all power, but power was given to him that sat on the horse. Remember, there's nothing that happens without the sovereign's authority. Nothing happens. The antichrist is going to wage war on all the inhabitants of the earth, and the great sword again is actually a short, dagger-like knife. Makara is what it is actually termed in the Greek. It is a makara. Now, Antichrist's false peace will abruptly come to an end. The great sword speaks to the worldwide campaign of revolt and massacre. Just as he was the all-important factor in acquiring peace, he has now become the all-important factor of war and destruction. We see it in Daniel chapter 8 and verse 24. We see it in Matthew chapter 24. We see it in Daniel 11, 12. And those stations there, and those portions of Scripture there, it talks about the fact, the reason why all this begins to take place is His recalling the peace accord with Israel. So these are things that are taking place, folks. Now, as we look at the third famine, the third seal, we're looking at famine. The Bible says in verse 5, And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld Noah's black horse, and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard the voice in the midst of the four beasts, 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. Now, as famine begins to come on, we're talking about economic disaster worldwide. That's the reason why I said tonight that all the money systems of the world are just about to change to one world currency. This is being backed right now by the European Union. The European Union right now is backing this thing of the one world currency. Everybody's gonna have the same denaro or whatever they wanna call it. You know what the interpretation of the scripture is? That one penny was a man's wages for a day. that man's one penny is gonna buy him just enough food for himself, not even his family. Not even gonna be able to supply food, good food for his family. As a matter of fact, if you get into the study of what this is, a man is only gonna be able to provide for his family Food stock that is meant for livestock. We're talking about famine now, again, remember that. Across this whole world, there's gonna be a shortage of food. You're getting primed for it right now, folks, whether you realize it or not. This world is being primed for it right now. We're not, we're gonna be gone. But this world is being primed for it. You know all the shortages that are going on in this world today over this COVID-19? Listen, you can't even buy toilet paper. I don't know if you can now or not. You can. But you couldn't. You couldn't. There was a time you had to buy sandpaper. That was about what it was good for. But as you think about it, everybody was making a run for the stores and they were cleaning the stores out of everything. I remember I took my wife to Walmart one day and I sat in the truck and I was watching. as people were coming out with two and three buggy loads. I mean, heaping over. And this one woman kept dropping stuff off the side of her buggy. She kept pouring stuff out. They're scared to death. They're not gonna be able to feed. Listen, I want you to know something. We in the country have it a little bit different than the people in the city. They don't raise their food. They are not able to raise their food. They don't raise the beef every year, brother. They don't raise a hog. They depend on the stores and the government. Guess what's gonna happen when all of a sudden these thousands and thousands and thousands of people in the city run out of food? You know where they're coming? They're coming to places just like Laurel, just like Crane Creek where all the food's at. I hope nobody comes by my home. I've got three gardens this year. I don't know what happened. I put a little greenhouse out and I just kept producing. I kept putting it in the ground. I'm praying for a good harvest. But I had a neighbor to tell her boys one day, she goes, you know what? She goes, if people know that we've got this food, they're gonna come and they're gonna rob us. That's nothing funny. It's liable to happen. It will happen if somebody's going to take care of their family, right? It's going to happen. That's what I'm saying. This is going to come to pass. Listen, that black horse is going to come riding in here one day. Praise God, we're not going to be here, but He's coming in. And He's bringing chaos with Him. He's bringing famine behind him. There's going to be a lack of food for whatever reason. Listen, we understand how the weather systems work. Listen, we're at the mercy of God's hand. It ain't the weatherman like he'd actually claim to. That young boy, he needs to be taught something. He needs to be told, listen, you don't provide us sunshine and rain. That's in the hands of God, not Mother Nature. Amen? Listen to me. These volcanoes that happen, you know what they do? They block out the sunlight in certain areas. You know what happens when the sunlight is blocked out? There is nothing growing. We live in an area that's one of the biggest volcano regions in the world. You go out to where we call the beauty of the west, Wyoming. You go out to these Yellowstone areas, You know what all those hot geysers are coming up for? Because there's a great volcano, one of the greatest volcanoes in the world's gathered around there. And honey, if that thing ever erupts, let me tell you something, this whole world's gonna be covered in darkness. Famine's coming. Famine's coming. Now, I've got to move along. I'm gonna come to a close right here because I gotta get through this fourth seal. In verse 7, the Bible says, And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast saying, Come and see. And I looked, and behold, a pale horse, and his name that sat on him was Death. And hell followed him. Now that word hell there is not the literal hell. This is Hades. The grave followed. The undertakers are following behind this horse. The undertakers are going behind this horse. You know why? Because there's so much death all over the world. This horse here, the pale horse, is the horse that denotes death. And death is coming all to one-fourth of the world. One quarter of the world is going to see death. One-fourth of the world, folks. You know how it starts? Look around at what's going on in the world today. Wars, number one, wars are going to be going forth, right? Wars and rumors of wars, that's mentioned in the Bible. There's going to be so much killing going on. Listen, when the Holy Spirit is pulled off the scene, listen, I want you to know something. This world is going to be unrestrained. There's no restraint anymore. You're going to see so much chaos. You're going to see so much degradation. You're going to see the blackness and the total depravity of man completely unfold and come forth and show itself. Right now, the total depravity of man is restrained. because of God's Holy Spirit in this place, in our hearts. But when He's gone, listen folks, pray for your children. Pray for your loved ones that are left behind because they're gonna see only the beginning of an eternity of sorrows. But here as the pale horse comes in, the Bible says that death follows him. Death. What's going on in the world today? You know that in this world today, we have people that are so smart, they've developed these biochemical weapons. You know what COVID-19 is? Do you know how that started? Do you know that started by humans in a lab? Do you know that something like that is used for chemical warfare, biological warfare? Do you understand that that's what's gonna be happening? This was supposed to have been an accident. I still don't believe that. I believe somebody got mad at America and they began to just do this. Now, that's just my, I don't need my opinion in this, do I? I better quit that. But I'll say this, now listen to me. I'm going to come to a close. I know we've had a long night, but it didn't seem like it was all that long. Now here, as death comes in, again, listen to me. I've got some writings here that I copied down, but I want you to listen to this. As famine came forth, now death is here. This will be unleashed beyond measure. Famine has ravaged the land and to such a degree that death now follows, and so does the undertaker. The horse is the color of death. It's black or pale. Whenever war and famine relish, death always follows as a result, does it not? During World War II or during World War I, 20 million people died with the influenza epidemic that was going on then. People are referring to the COVID-19 against the worldwide pandemic 100 years ago. And I'll be honest with you folks, it ain't been close. It ain't been close to the 20 million people that have gave their lives Now, there were six million people during the same time that died of typhoid fever. You know what it all started from? War. It all started from death outside in the countryside. All the decaying bodies began to breed forth this awful death and everybody was getting sick and dying from it. Listen, right now there's drug-resistant germs and they are even now in our labs all over the world. Drug-resistant bacteria have already appeared which can fool all the antibiotics that it's been up against. We the human race have stockpiles of bacteria which can and is infecting people all over the world today, aka COVID-19. These pestilences is what they are known as upon the earth or even now at play. And it's only gonna get worse. You know, they were showing a lot of scenes in New York City of all the boxes they were gathering. And they had this big trench dug, and I don't know where that trench was, looked like it right in the middle of the city, but they had hundreds of boxes laying in that trench. Now, I don't know if there was anybody in them or not, but they were acting like they were burying people right there in that trench. Folks, I want you to know something. These four seals that we have just looked at, and we've just glimpsed at them, we just took a glance, and listen, you go to Daniel, you go to Zechariah, you go to Isaiah, you go to these Old Testament scriptures, which we will see when we go on deeper into the study, because the tribulation period goes all the way up to chapter 19 of the book of Revelation. You'll see from here to there, you'll see every bit of it found in the word of God. Found in God's Word. Now listen, the four horsemen of the apocalypse, they're nothing to mess with, are they? But it's a coming. And John, John saw this. John was bewildered because of the scene that he saw. The death, the carnage, and all of it begins with the Antichrist. May God open the eyes of America. May God open the eyes of Christians everywhere that we warn our children and grandchildren, that we warn all of our loved ones. Listen, flee from the wrath to come. Listen, I want you to know that there's more than the wrath of the devil too. Oh, he's gonna come out of time here, and about in the third and a half year of the tribulation, he's gonna, all chaos, I mean, everything is gonna go happen. But God's wrath also is gonna be starting to pour out. Upon a world that rejected his son, God's wrath is gonna be poured out. And that's the wrath that we've been saved from, praise God Almighty. We've been saved from the wrath to come. May God help us to see that. May God help our lost loved ones to understand, oh, today's the day of salvation, you're not promised tomorrow. Come to Jesus today. He died and bled and died on the cross of Calvary, was buried and on the third day rose again that you might escape this awful damnation that we're looking at even here tonight. May God help you to see that. Let's all stand, please. Our most gracious and divine Heavenly Father, dear God, as we humbly come before your throne, we thank you for the day that you give us. Thank you, dear God, for blessing us even this very hour. and bring into my thoughts that which need to be brought out. And Lord, I pray that I've brought honor and glory to your name tonight. For I stand in awe at your power and presence. And now, Father, I pray for the lost around us. Dear God, you might spare them from this awful time of tragedy upon the world. They may come to know their Savior tonight, Lord, I pray. Blessing the salvation of the souls around us. Help us, dear God, to realize what's going on in the world around us as well. How she's been primed just for such a time as this. Lord, I pray that you open our eyes and we may see clearly. Lord, watch over us, forgive us our sin in Christ's name, and amen. Have our song leader and our pianist to come. Look, 266. 266. In the nation, all prepare to meet the God. Let us all await the morning, for new life has Oh, how sad to face the judgment, unprepared to meet the God.
