Today, we continued our study of the first vision of Zechariah, recorded in Zechariah 1:8-10. In this vision, the prophet Zechariah saw a red horse and rider stand among the myrtle trees in the "bottom".
1)
The Red Horse – Revelation 6:3-4
·
Meaning
of the color – Red (dragon [satan] is red)
· Isaiah 1:18 – white is for
righteousness, red is for sin.
· Exodus 26:14 – red is also a symbol
for the Blood of Yahshua, shed for the remission of sin.
·
What does the Horseman carry? Sword –
meaning?
· Genesis 27:40 – the sword is a symbol
for no peace - fighting
· Genesis 31:26 – the sword is a symbol
of domination (taking captive), brute force
· Exodus 5:21 – the sword is a symbol
of violence and military might.
· Zechariah 13:7 – the sword is a
symbol of bringing death.
· Matthew 10:34 – Yahshua did not come
to send peace but a “sword”… The sword
represents the opposite of peace. The sword is then a time of no-peace and
suffering.
·
What does the Horseman take from the
earth? Peace – meaning?
· Psalm 37:37 – the future of the
righteous is Eternal Peace… Those who receive the reward of Eternal Peace are those who receive the
Seal of Yahweh (“mark the perfect
man”).
· The red horse takes peace away… This applies both literally and
figuratively… meaning that not only is
its ride characterized by domination, military might, suffering, persecution,
etc… but also this horseman removes from
people the possibility of receiving the reward of Eternal Peace.
·
What is the only thing that forever
takes “peace” from someone? The only thing that – once received – permanently bars a human being
from receiving Eternal Peace – is the
Mark of the Beast.
· Revelation 14:1
– the saved, specifically the 144,000 (Last Day saved) have the Father’s Name
written in their foreheads.
· Daniel 7:25 – “taking
peace from the earth” also connects with the work of the Little Horn, who “wears
out” (persecutes) the saints of the Most High (Yahweh). The Little Horn changes
the Torah and the Feasts (times of worship). The saints will be persecuted and
even put to death by this power for 3.5 years.
· Revelation 14:9-11 – the Mark of the Beast is received in the forehead or hand of all who are
Eternally Lost. Those who receive the Mark of the Beast will taste hell and they
have no rest/no peace.
· Revelation 15:1-2 – The saved will have gotten the “victory” over the Mark of the Beast –
and the Beast… Victory is a battle word… It means that it isn’t easy to avoid
the Mark of the Beast – it’s a fight to not get the Mark.
· Revelation 7:2-4 – The Seal of Yahweh is in the forehead of the saved – specifically the
144,000 who are the living righteous in the Last Days (remember there is also a
multitude which no man can number, who are also saved).
· Revelation 22:4
– every saved person has the Father’s Name on their forehead.
· 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 – the Seal of Yahweh is associated with also receiving the Holy Spirit.
· Ephesians 1:13
– the Seal of Yahweh is permanent – and those receiving it are Eternally Saved,
receiving His Spirit.
1. John 17:17 –
Part of the Sealing Process is being “sanctified” (set apart for Holy use)… The sanctification process happens in Truth
(Thy Word is Truth).
2. Psalm 119:142 –
Law is Truth (Isaiah 8:20) - Torah
3. John 14:6 –
Yahshua is the Way the Truth and Life – it is impossible to be saved (come to
the Father) without accepting Yahshua as one’s personal Messiah.
Putting all this information together, who is the red horse and rider from Revelation 6 and Zechariah 1? The red horse is the spirit of Antichrist – moves upon the earth to put the Mark of the Beast on the population.
The red horse rides taking peace from the earth – representing receiving the Mark of the Beast. Those who receive the Mark of the Beast eternally lose the ability to receive the Seal of Yahweh. It’s a permanent mark.
What is the red horse/rider doing in
the first vision of Zechariah (Zechariah 1:8-10)? The red horse/rider is standing among
the myrtle trees (the myrtle trees are the 144,000 – those who receive the Seal
of Yahweh in the Last Days).
What is the red horse/rider doing in the seventh vision of Zechariah (Zechariah 6:1-8)? In the 7th vision of Zechariah the red horse is riding – but he’s not riding alone. All the others are also riding… We see then that the white horse (which offers Salvation) doesn’t stop riding when the red horse goes.
In our classes next week, we'll be focusing on recognizing and identifying the moment (the prophetic sign) when the red horse stands among the myrtle trees. This "standing" is a sign - a warning - which is to be given to the spiritual "watchmen" of the Last Days.
In our last magazine of 2019, Lighted Way Ministries did a feature article on this first vision of Zechariah... It may be a blessing to you to read this study in our online magazine, available at the following link:
