The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse are Getting Ready to Ride Again!!

In Revelation Chapter 6, the Triune God presents all of Christian history in advance under the symbols of 4 furious hellish horsemen galloping forth to do battle with the Son of God.

This great prophecy can be likened to Daniel Chapter 2 where JEHOVAH showed King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon all of history in advance under the symbol of an image composed of 4 metals.

And I saw when the Lamb (JESUS) opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
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 (Denarius), and three measures of barley for a PENNY (Denarius); 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.
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. (Revelation 6:1-8 ).

CALVARY on the Mount of Olives overlooking Jerusalem was the location of the most momentous event in the history of the universe.

After galloping furiously for 1400 years, one would think that the 4 warhorses would be totally exhausted and ready to drop dead.... It seems that the ecumenical movement of the past 50 years has given the horses a devotional recess . . . and enough energy for a final suicidal mad charge of the dark brigade.

Saint Martin Luther was the first to PROVE from Scripture and history that the Pope and Islam is indeed Antichrist:

Antichrist is the pope and the Turk together; a beast full of life must have a body and soul; the spirit or soul of antichrist is the pope, his flesh or body the Turk. The latter wastes and assails and persecutes God's church corporally; the former spiritually and corporally too, with hanging, burning, murdering, &c. But, as in the apostle's time, the church had the victory over the Jews and Romans, so now will she keep the field firm and solid against the hypocrisy and idolatry of the pope, and the tyranny and devastations of the Turk and her other enemies. (Table Talk of Saint Martin Luther, p. 193).

Economic jihad—replacing the DOLLAR with the Islamic DINAR!!

In this marvelous prophecy about the 4 horsemen, the word PENNY that is used to refer to MONEY is the word DENARIUS. The DENARIUS was a pagan Roman coin—and current money—when this prophecy was written:

Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a PENNY (DENARIUS).
And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. (Matthew 22:15-21).

This is the definitive teaching on the relations of a Christian to the government....Unlike Mohammad, Jesus did not tell his disciples to go out and create their own state, coin their own money, and conquer the world by the sword.

The denarius died out with the collapse of Old Rome. It was replaced by the BEZANT and coined at Constantinople.

The bezant or solidis was the longest lasting currency in the history of the world and held its value for almost 800 years. The Arabs tried to undermine it and replace it with their currency.

The Muslims also had a SILVER coin called the DIRHAM derived from the Greek word drachma.

The defeat of the Crusaders by Saladin, and their ejection from Jerusalem in 1187, made Saladin a celebrated Muslim hero and greatly increased the prestige of Islam in Western Europe. Saladin acted more humanely when he recaptured Jerusalem than the brutal Crusaders acted in the capture of that city in 1099:

Perhaps it was merely a matter of saving face. Europe could not ignore the fact of defeat, and some "Christians" thought it well deserved. Muslims naturally believed that the Franks had been humiliated by the will of God for their wickedness and corruption and the view is echoed in Europe. From the south of France, friars reported that as they preached their open-air sermons bystanders ostentatiously gave alms to beggars on the fringes of the congregation with the words: 'Take this in the name of Muhammad for he is more powerful than Christ'. (Hindley, Saladin: Hero of Islam, pp 14-15).

The dollar was divorced from gold in 1971

From 1792 to 1873, the U.S. had free coinage of silver and gold. That meant that anybody could walk into the U.S. Mint, and the government would coin their silver or gold into lawful money at the rate of 371.25 grains of pure silver for each dollar, and 24.75 grains of pure gold to each gold dollar.This system was called bimetallism, and the ratio of silver to gold (15 to 1) always seemed to stay the same over the centuries.

Congress shall have the power . . . To COIN Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures. (U.S. Constitution).

A dollar is 371 and one quarter grains of fine silver!!

In the Coinage Act of 1792, the basic unit of currency was the dollar, and the dollar was defined as 3711/4 grains of fine silver. That much silver was to constitute a dollar. Each dollar was a unit. All other money was to be counted from this unit of a silver dollar. Hence dimes, quarters and half dollars were fractional parts of the dollar.

Dollars or Units—each to be of the value of a Spanish milled dollar as the same is now current, and to contain three hundred and seventy-one grains and four sixteenths parts of a grain of pure, or four hundred and sixteen grains of standard silver. (Coinage Act of 1792).

Silver was assassinated on February 12, 1873, when Congress ended the free coinage of silver. From that time onward, the U.S. was on a MONOMETALLIC or gold standard.

On August 15, 1971, President Nixon demonetized the dollar completely by divorcing it from convertibility into gold.

Of course, the Arabs raised no outcry that they were getting worthless "dollars" for all their oil.

The transfer of gold out of Fort Knox to Saudi Arabia was facilitated by the Federal Reserve Bank in New York City.

And he (Antichrist) shall have power over the treasures of GOLD and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. (Daniel 11:43).

The Secretary of the Treasury MUST know that the Constitution says that Congress has the power to COIN money . . . not to PRINT it....However, they all ignore it as they must SUBMIT to their bosses in Rome and Mecca.

The last world currency will be the Islamic DINAR. This coin has the LEGEND: THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH AND MOHAMMAD IS HIS PROPHET. People worldwide are fed up with the paper U.S. "dollar" and other worthless paper currencies so the Muslims will offer them HONEST MONEY as AN ALTERNATIVE.

All paper currencies eventually become worthless because they are false printing press "money." The U.S. "dollar," the Euro, and other paper currencies will go the way of the German paper Mark during the 1920's.

Mother Russia is the only independent country left in the entire world that has substantial gold reserves and that is why she is the final target of NATO and Islamic jihad.

The Vatican and Islam DENY Christ

The Bible unequivocally states that Antichrist must come first before the end of the world:

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first (apostasy), and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. (II Thess 2:3).

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son. Whosoever denies the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledges the Son hath the Father also. (I St. John 1:18-22).

The Bible says that Antichrist DENIES Christ.... DENY has 2 meanings in the Holy Scriptures:

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even DENYING the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. (II St. Peter 2:1).

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and DENYING the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. (St. Jude 1:4).

These false teachers did not DENY the existence of the Father and the Son but covertly introduced false doctrines to the Christian Congregation.

One of the main false doctrines of Old Rome is the Filioque that teaches that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son . . . thereby making the Holy Spirit a HYBRID!!

Another damnable heresy is Petrine Primacy which nobody heard of until centuries after the Apostolic era.

The Koran DENIES the existence of the Father and the Son

Here are just 6 quotes from the Koran that DENIES the existence of the Father . . . and the Son of God:

People of the Book (Christians), do not transgress the bounds of your religion. Speak nothing but the truth about God. The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, was no more than God's apostle and His Word which He cast to Mary: a spirit from Him. So believe in God and His apostles and do not say: 'Three.' Forbear, and it shall be better for you. God is but one God. God forbid that He should have a son! His is all that the heavens and the earth contain. God is the all-sufficient protector. The Messiah does not disdain to be a servant of God, nor do the angels who are nearest to Him. Those who through arrogance disdain His service shall all be brought before Him. (Sura 4:171).

They say: 'God has begotten a son.' God forbid! Self-sufficient is He. His is all that the heavens and the earth contain. Surely for this you have no sanction. Would you say of God what you know not?
Say: 'Those that invent falsehoods about God shall not prosper. They take their ease in this life, but to Us they shall then return, and We will make them taste a grievous torment for their unbelief.' (Sura 10:70).

Pray neither with too loud a voice nor in silence, but, between these extremes, seek a middle course. Say: 'Praise be to God who has never begotten a son; who has no partner in His Kingdom; who needs none to defend Him from humiliation.' Proclaim His greatness. (Sura 17:111).

Those who say: 'The Lord of Mercy has begotten a son,' preach a monstrous falsehood, at which the very heavens might crack, the earth break asunder, and the mountains crumble to dust. That they should ascribe a son to the Merciful, when it does not become the Lord of Mercy to beget one! (Sura 19:85).

Unbelievers are those that say: 'God is the Messiah, the son of Mary.' For the Messiah himself said: 'Children of Israel, serve God, my Lord and your Lord.' He that worships other gods besides God, God will deny him Paradise, and the Fire shall be his home. None shall help the evil-doers.
Unbelievers are those that say: 'God is one of three.' There is but one God. If they do not desist from so saying, those of them that disbelieve shall be sternly punished. (Sura 5:71).

Such was Jesus, the son of Mary. That is the whole truth, which they still doubt. God forbid that He Himself should beget a son! When He decrees a thing He need only say: 'Be,' and it is. (Sura 19:30).

The Koran teaches JIHAD or war to the death against unbelievers!!

Here are just 4 quotes from the "Holy" Koran that justifies killing those who do not convert to Islam:

Fight against such of those to whom the Scriptures were given as believe neither in God nor the Last Day, who do not forbid what God and His apostle have forbidden, and do not embrace the true Faith, until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued. (Sura 9:29).

When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield strike off their heads and, when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly. Then grant them their freedom or take ransom from them, until War shall lay down her burdens. (Sura 47:1).

They would have you disbelieve as they themselves have disbelieved, so that you may be all alike. Do not befriend them until they have fled their homes for the cause of God. If they desert you, seize them and put them to death wherever you find them. (Sura 4:87).

Slay them wherever you find them. Drive them out of the places from which they drove you. Idolatry is more grievous than bloodshed. But do not fight them within the precincts of the Holy Mosque unless they attack you there; if they attack you put them to the sword. Thus shall the unbelievers be rewarded: but if they desist, God is forgiving and merciful. (Sura 2:191).

Here is a quote from the late Kalim Siddiqui—founder of the Muslim Parliament of Great Britain. Siddiqui, an ideologue and prolific writer on Islamic Jihad, was looking forward to a confrontation between Islam and the rest of the world:

Just how and when this global confrontation will come about is a matter for speculation. It is important for us to realize that history is moving inexorably towards such a confrontation and that the Ummah must prepare for it, relish the prospect, and develop zest and appetite for it. In a sense this confrontation is in fact a continuous feature of all history. The history of Islam, after the khulafa al-rashidoon, is the history of progressive deviation of Muslim political power from the norms established by the Prophet, upon whom be peace, and by the Qur'an. Nevertheless, the same deviant Muslim political power was largely responsible for many heavy blows inflicted on kufr in many parts of the world and for the spread of Islam from the shores of the Atlantic to the depths of the Pacific. It also reached the farthest corners of Africa. However, being essentially and progressively deviant, Muslim political power was bound to run out of steam, to weaken and eventually to yield to the forces of kufr. (Siddiqui, In Pursuit of the Power of Islam, p. 217).

10 similarities between the Vatican and Islam

The Triune God of the universe does not COMPEL anybody to PRAY 5 times a day toward Mecca . . . or anyplace else:

But thou, WHEN thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. (Matthew 6:6).

The Triune God of the universe is not vengeful and destructive like Allah:

And the LORD passed by before him (Moses) , and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth. (Exodus 34:6).

He is not willing that any should be trodden under the steeds of the 4 horsemen:

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (II St. Peter 3:9).

Unlike Allah, the Triune God does not PREDESTINE any to perdition. He gives each person a FREE WILL and invites them to CHOOSE the FEAR OF THE LORD which is the beginning of wisdom. (Proverbs 1:7).

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:17).
