I am in the beginning stages of learning to post charts to the forum. In an effort to streamline these charts, I have restarted this presentation. Please excuse any inconveniences.

[SIZE=18pt]The Seven Seals / Chart 2/ The First Seal / The Anti-Christ [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]With the opening of the first seal we are introduced to a rider on a white horse.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]Revelation 6: 1[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt] I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

This rider appears to represent the Anti-Christ. Like Christ, which rides a white horse with a sword coming from His mouth, the second rider is also on a white horse but is in possession of a bow.[/SIZE]

Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine![/SIZE]

[BLACK SHEEP]

[SIZE=10.5pt]Do you think the first rider represents the AC?[/SIZE]

Absolutely not! The AC is said to rule for 3 1/2 years. Most people say that the tribulation last for 7 years. IF that's so, then the first seal can't be the anti-Christ since there's no record of tribulation having started before Revelation 6:2!

Some people think the four horsemen or seals 1-4 encapsulate the entire book of Revelation or the seven years tribulation. I disagree with that. I now believe, but that may change, that Revelation is chronological.

The seals are an unveiling of people and events that lead us to the open scroll. Seal 3 and 4 may indicate the beginning of tribulation....I'm not completely sure but I THINK THEY DO.

The Seals are not exactly chronological like the Trumpets are.

The way to know that is because the first seal mentioned in Rev.6 is not actually called... the 1st Seal, and the white horse rider, whether one believes is our Lord Jesus or the coming Antichrist, doesn't occur at the start of those events anyway. The pointer to the Antichrist's coming in those Seals is on the 6th Seal with the following verse...


Rev 6:13
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
(KJV)


The symbol of the "untimely figs" is a VERY IMPORTANT metaphor teaching our Lord Jesus gave in His Word.

Untimely figs in horticulture is about the winter fig, a fig that grows in winter and falls off in the Spring. The ripe fig grows later and is harvested later. That "untimely figs" metaphor is given in relation between the true and the fake.

And since it is given in association with that "stars of heaven fell unto the earth", then who... is that really about??? (See Rev.12:7-9).
