The Third and Fourth Seal of Revelation

The Third and Fourth Seal of Revelation

EDITOR'S NOTE: With oil prices now at an all time record high, and the housing market in it's worst slump in 16 years, and knowing that so many pieces are in place and that the Tribulation appears that it can begin at any time -- it's possible that we are currently in the Third Seal of Revelation.

Revelation 6:5-6 - When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”

Here we have a description of what is likely the world's financial markets, and it appears that God shakes it up, so to speak, when the Third Seal is opened.

In contrast to this, when the Fourth Seal is opened, a fourth of the earth's population is killed.

Revelation 6:7-8 - When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

Clearly something big has to occur between the Third and Fourth Seal. Considering that it still appears to be life as usual for civilization when the Third Seal is opened -- which is reflected in the description of the world's financial markets -- I believe that when the Fourth Seal is opened the Tribulation has begun -- and a fourth of the world's population will be killed early on.

On October 18, 2007, Bush warned of WWIII if Iran goes nuclear and here on SOS we've written extensively on the nuclear threat to America by Islamic terrorists, backed by allied nations.

In fact, I believe a nuclear attack on a handful of U.S. cities will likely happen sometime this year.

Tonight when you're sitting at the dinner table, and a report comes on evening news talking about oil prices and the housing slump, inflation, interest rates, rising unemployment, and the national debt which is in the trillions of dollars -- you might want to mention to your spouse that there's a great possibly that we're watching the Third Seal of Revelation unfold -- which means the Fourth Seal may be opened shortly.
