John writes in 98 00:02:51,804 --> 00:02:53,206 Revelation, the first 99 00:02:53,273 --> 00:02:54,841 chapter, verse 10... 100 00:03:01,014 --> 00:03:02,015 John is not speaking 101 00:03:02,081 --> 00:03:03,583 of a day of the week. 102 00:03:03,650 --> 00:03:04,951 He is speaking of the 103 00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:05,985 prophetic period of time 104 00:03:06,052 --> 00:03:07,387 described in the

00:03:12,892 --> 00:03:14,460 If he were, he would have 109 00:03:14,527 --> 00:03:16,563 referred to Sunday as "the 110 00:03:16,629 --> 00:03:18,097 first day" of the week as 111 00:03:18,164 --> 00:03:20,400 he did in the Gospel of John. 112 00:03:20,466 --> 00:03:21,868 Jesus Himself said He was 113 00:03:21,935 --> 00:03:23,269 Lord of the Sabbath, 114 00:03:23,336 --> 00:03:25,838 as it tells us in Mark 2:28. 115 00:03:25,905 --> 00:03:26,806 The expression 116 00:03:26,873 --> 00:03:27,740 "Lord's Day" 117 00:03:27,807 --> 00:03:29,008 here in Revelation 118 00:03:29,075 --> 00:03:30,643 refers to the theme of the 119 00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:32,345 whole book, the prophetic 120 00:03:32,412 --> 00:03:33,813 Day of the Lord, 121 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,981 culminating in the return 122 00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:37,216 of Jesus Christ. 123 00:03:37,283 --> 00:03:38,885 In Revelation chapter 5, 124 00:03:38,952 --> 00:03:40,353 we read about a scroll 125 00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:42,722 sealed with seven seals. 126 00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:44,290 Jesus, the Revelator, 127 00:03:44,357 --> 00:03:46,059 opens the seals to the book. 128 00:03:46,125 --> 00:03:47,493 We read the description of 129 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,795 these seals in Revelation 130 00:03:48,861 --> 00:03:50,663 the sixth chapter. 131 00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:52,231 The first four seals are 132 00:03:52,298 --> 00:03:54,033 known as the Four Horsemen 133 00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:55,401 of the Apocalypse. 134 00:03:55,468 --> 00:03:56,736 The first horse, 135 00:03:56,803 --> 00:03:58,571 the white horse and its rider 136 00:03:58,638 --> 00:04:00,440 represented false religions, 137 00:04:00,506 --> 00:04:01,774 false Christs. 138 00:04:01,841 --> 00:04:03,309 Jesus Himself points out 139 00:04:03,376 --> 00:04:04,377 the sequence of these 140 00:04:04,444 --> 00:04:06,512 events in the Olivet prophecy 141 00:04:06,579 --> 00:04:08,381 in Matthew 24. 142 00:04:08,448 --> 00:04:09,215 We've explained this 143 00:04:09,282 --> 00:04:09,983 convergence in 144 00:04:10,049 --> 00:04:11,784 previous programs. 145 00:04:11,851 --> 00:04:13,353 The second seal reveals a 146 00:04:13,419 --> 00:04:14,621 horseman riding a red 147 00:04:14,687 --> 00:04:16,222 horse with the power to 148 00:04:16,289 --> 00:04:18,791 take peace from the earth. 149 00:04:18,858 --> 00:04:20,226 The third seal presents a 150 00:04:20,293 --> 00:04:21,794 rider on a black horse 151 00:04:21,861 --> 00:04:23,296 representing the scarcity 152 00:04:23,363 --> 00:04:25,932 of food and resulting famine. 153 00:04:25,999 --> 00:04:27,734 The fourth seal shows a 154 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,202 rider on a pale horse 155 00:04:29,268 --> 00:04:30,870 named "Death" "and power 156 00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:32,305 was given to them 157 00:04:32,372 --> 00:04:33,640 [the four horsemen] over" 158 00:04:33,706 --> 00:04:35,208 one fourth of the earth to 159 00:04:35,274 --> 00:04:37,510 kill major populations. 160 00:04:37,577 --> 00:04:39,012 Jesus also spoke of the 161 00:04:39,078 --> 00:04:40,380 pestilence that normally 162 00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:42,882 follows on the heels of famine. 163 00:04:42,949 --> 00:04:44,017 Critics say there has 164 00:04:44,083 --> 00:04:45,551 always been war, famine, 165 00:04:45,618 --> 00:04:46,986 and pestilence. 166 00:04:47,053 --> 00:04:48,287 Our world has experienced 167 00:04:48,354 --> 00:04:49,922 epidemics and pandemics 168 00:04:49,989 --> 00:04:51,457 over the centuries. 169 00:04:51,524 --> 00:04:53,559 Now, mankind faces the 170 00:04:53,626 --> 00:04:54,861 challenge of trying to 171 00:04:54,927 --> 00:04:56,229 contain a virus more 172 00:04:56,295 --> 00:04:57,563 deadly than the SARS virus 173 00:04:57,630 --> 00:04:58,865 that spread around the 174 00:04:58,931 --> 00:05:01,234 world in 2003. 175 00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:03,136 COVID-19, also known as 176 00:05:03,202 --> 00:05:04,837 the coronavirus, 177 00:05:04,904 --> 00:05:06,639 has caused panic, sickness, 178 00:05:06,706 --> 00:05:07,840 and death. 179 00:05:07,907 --> 00:05:09,442 But a time is coming when 180 00:05:09,509 --> 00:05:11,277 this will seem like the 181 00:05:11,344 --> 00:05:12,779 least of our problems. 182 00:05:12,845 --> 00:05:14,447 You and I will see the 183 00:05:14,514 --> 00:05:15,615 four horsemen of the 184 00:05:15,682 --> 00:05:17,316 apocalypse intensify their 185 00:05:17,383 --> 00:05:19,218 ride with increasing 186 00:05:19,285 --> 00:05:22,055 global impact as time goes on. 187 00:05:22,121 --> 00:05:23,489 These four horsemen are 188 00:05:23,556 --> 00:05:24,557 revealed in Revelation 189 00:05:24,624 --> 00:05:26,459 chapter six as Christ 190 00:05:26,526 --> 00:05:29,095 opens the first four seals. 191 00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:30,530 Now, what happens when the 192 00:05:30,596 --> 00:05:32,498 fifth seal is opened? 193 00:05:32,565 --> 00:05:35,301 Turn to Revelation 6:9. 194 00:05:35,368 --> 00:05:36,669 Christ opens the fifth 195 00:05:36,736 --> 00:05:38,771 seal in Revelation 6:9... 196 00:05:48,581 --> 00:05:49,415 Here is described 197 00:05:49,482 --> 00:05:51,050 the martyrdom of the saints, 198 00:05:51,117 --> 00:05:52,251 true Christians. 199 00:05:52,318 --> 00:05:53,519 In the first century, 200 00:05:53,586 --> 00:05:55,388 the Emperor Nero violently 201 00:05:55,455 --> 00:05:56,723 persecuted Christians and 202 00:05:56,789 --> 00:05:58,424 put them to death. 203 00:05:58,491 --> 00:06:00,093 This fifth seal also 204 00:06:00,159 --> 00:06:01,828 predicts a major end-time 205 00:06:01,894 --> 00:06:03,696 persecution of saints. 206 00:06:03,763 --> 00:06:06,099 Then Jesus opens the sixth seal, 207 00:06:06,165 --> 00:06:07,700 revealing the heavenly signs 208 00:06:07,767 --> 00:06:08,801 that will shock people 209 00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:10,303 all over the earth. 210 00:06:10,369 --> 00:06:12,205 Revelation 6:12... 211 00:06:38,898 --> 00:06:39,732 Not only will 212 00:06:39,799 --> 00:06:41,067 asteroids and meteors 213 00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:42,502 frighten people, 214 00:06:42,568 --> 00:06:43,703 but massive earthquakes will 215 00:06:43,770 --> 00:06:45,605 also shake the earth. 216 00:06:45,671 --> 00:06:47,006 As the Apostle John 217 00:06:47,073 --> 00:06:48,474 saw in vision, 218 00:06:48,541 --> 00:06:49,175 "every

00:16:20,212 --> 00:16:21,680 of ancient Israel under 489 00:16:21,747 --> 00:16:23,182 the leadership of Joshua 490 00:16:23,248 --> 00:16:25,050 searched out the Promised Land? 491 00:16:25,117 --> 00:16:26,552 The spies came back after 492 00:16:26,618 --> 00:16:28,153 40 days to report on the 493 00:16:28,220 --> 00:16:30,122 resources of the land. 494 00:16:30,189 --> 00:16:31,890 But 10 of

00:16:36,829 --> 00:16:37,796 the giants and the 499 00:16:37,863 --> 00:16:39,431 inhabitants of the land. 500 00:16:39,498 --> 00:16:41,400 As a result of their unbelief, 501 00:16:41,467 --> 00:16:42,401 God condemned 502 00:16:42,468 --> 00:16:43,836 them to wander in the 503 00:16:43,902 --> 00:16:46,038 wilderness for forty years, 504 00:16:46,105 --> 00:16:47,773 a year for each of 505 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,074 the 40 days they had 506 00:16:49,141 --> 00:16:50,809 searched the land. 507 00:16:50,876 --> 00:16:52,811 Numbers 14:34... 508 00:17:07,059 --> 00:17:08,160 This principle of a day for a 509 00:17:08,227 --> 00:17:09,828 year is also used by God 510 00:17:09,895 --> 00:17:12,631 in Ezekiel 4:6. 511 00:17:12,698 --> 00:17:13,632 How long then, 512 00:17:13,699
