Revelation 6
(v.2) At first glance we think that this is Jesus coming on the white horse, but if we look at what he does, and the company that he keeps, the identity is much clearer. Remember, the word, Antichrist, doesn't just mean "against Christ" it also means "like Christ." In other words, the Antichrist will use characteristics of Christ, and fool many who don't really know Christ.
The reference to a bow should also remind us of Nimrod, who was the first world ruler who competed with Christ for men's souls. Gen 10:8
(v.4) This is the beginning of the Great Tribulation spoken of by Christ Himself in Matt 24:6
(v.6) In the last days, it will take more than a days wages to buy one loaf of bread! The food supply will be hard to get, and many people will perish from hunger and violence over getting food for their families.
(v.8) Disease and pestilence will abound...aren't we so grateful that we won't endure this since we will have been raptured before this happens?
(v.11) We see again another sign that the Church will be in heaven when this happens, for they are clothed in white. Do a word search in a good Bible concordance for white robes or white clothing, and you will see this means the saints...the Church.
(v.16) We don't usually see a lamb as having wrath...unless it's the Lamb of God...Jesus!
Revelation 7
(v.4) God is going to seal 12,000 Jews who believe in Christ from each tribe...that's 144,000! They will preach the Gospel like no one has ever done before, and gather the last believers before God closes the door on salvation!
(v.9) This is the Church...from all over the world, speaking different languages, and from different times in history!
