“And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he 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 and the wine.
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” – Revelation 6: 5-8 (KJV)
“And power was given unto them….” Yes, but God is still in control. Satan and his minions cannot do a single thing more than what the Lord allows to be done in order to accomplish His plan.
“I have told you these things, so that you may have peace in me. In this world you are going to have trouble. But be courageous! I have overcome the world.” – John 16:33 (EHV)
“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
i believe the beasts of the earth are germs(COVID-19) since i have not seen any mass puppy and kitten attacks…this means for me that one of the horseman MAY have been released as foretold…this would also mean that the beast/anti-christ is not far behind…which would also mean the return of the Lord is closer than we think…
