Thank you Sister Elizabeth for sharing. Your message from the Lord, it confirms what I see. I have had an overwhelming sadness and it hindered my prayer, but yet I cannot shake it. It's on my mind all the time. We need to prepare if we haven't already. I moved six years ago and I moved back to where I came from a year and a half later. Then I had a horrible attack for a few months and I had some really bad things happen with my health and I knew what was happening but the Lord had to remind me why a message He gave me many years ago was time to do as He wanted. I had a problem feeling I wasn't worthy enough for what He wanted. I finally got myself together and I had to move again. So now I'm in a place where I really don't want to be but I have a clear picture and things are falling into place. I have to remember this isn't about me it's about His purpose and we all have a part to play and He is with us and He's already told us not to fear for He is with us. May God have all the glory!

Very interesting.

Most do not ever list "slavery" with the Black horse.

The word "scales" or "balances" - those items held in the riders hand is: "zygos" ζυγός - Strongs G2218 and is the exact same word Jesus uses in Matthew 11:29.

"Take my yoke G2218 (zygos) upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."

This word also ties us to the law - that which Paul speaks of in Galatians 5:1.

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke G2218 (zygos) of bondage."

I have yet to find anyone that has ever spoken of this but it is very interesting - I think.

And as we step back and look at all 4, one can see the process - peace, war, famine, slavery (military draft - pay to get food perhaps?), death....

YIKES. It isn't easy to study.

The gospel needs to be mentioned here because it is the hope - LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind (Matthew 22:36-40. Repent for sins - because you love him and are sorry. Get a new door from him (John 10), love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:36-40), and tell the next person the same is available to them because Jesus grace and mercy is so great - it is why he died for us - LOVE. 1 John 4!
