The Federations being brought to Judgment.
As the Lord removes the seals on the scroll we see the four different confederacies that are vying for world domination. Each are under a `strong delusion,` because they would not receive the truth.
1. British Empire - Conquering.
`Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals,
and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder,
“Come and see,” And I looked and behold a white horse.
He who sat on it had a bow; and crown was given to him,
and he went out conquering and to conquer.`
(Rev. 6 :1 & 2)
The British Empire was the first Great power in recent times. It has a Monarch, symbolised by the `crown,` and went forth conquering and to conquer. Eventually it had control of over a quarter of the world. Even though it has now become a Commonwealth of nations it is still a pre-dominant power of the world.
The prophet Daniel also was given a vision of this super power. He saw it as a `beast,` a lion with eagles wings. Daniel was told that the beast was a kingdom in the time when judgments would come upon the world.
The symbol of the `Lion` matches Britain`s emblem, while the `Eagle` is for America, which eventually separated, (broke off) from the Lion Federation. Today these powers still work together. (Dan. 7: 4)
2. The Soviet Union - War.
`When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying,
”Come and see,” and another horse, fiery red, went out.
And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth,
and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.`
(Rev. 6: 3 & 4)
The next great Federation that came to power was the Soviet Union, after WW1. This confederacy has `a great sword,` `that people should kill one another.` It took in nation after nation behind the `iron curtain,` and killed over 40 million in its gulags, work camps.
Then towards the end of last century this great power broke up into Independent nations around Russia. However they are still under the Communist rule and have the same philosophy.
The Prophet Daniel was shown this great power as a ferocious bear devouring others. Then the prophet Ezekiel saw it as a great Federation of nations following the leader, Russia. (Dan. 7: 5, Ez. 38: 1 - 7)
They will try and annihilate Israel, God`s people, however God will step in and wipe out most of their armies. (Ex. 39: 1 - 6)
