The Second Rider of the Apocalypse
If you're not familiar with the four horsemen of the apocalypse described in the Book of Revelation, read my earlier post entitled The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse for background information. The first rider in my opinion heralds the arrival of Covid-19 and the vaccine. This article focuses on the second rider and what the future may portend.
The Opening of the Second Seal
3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Out came another horse, fiery red. Its rider was allowed to take peace from the earth so that people would kill each other. He was given a large sword. Revelation 6:3-4
The color of the second horse is "red" or in the Greek "pyrros." Not much can be inferred other than the color is described as "fiery red" or bright red. Given the context of this passage about people killing each other, fiery or bright red could refer to the color of blood. Blood that results from a wound that is dark red in color, is usually not as serious as that's the color of blood emanating from a punctured or severed vein. However, blood that bleeds bright red is much more serious; possibly life-threatening as that is the color of blood escaping from an artery. Again, not much can be inferred here as nothing in this passage allows us to draw any firm conclusion.
In verse 4, the rider is allowed to take "peace from the earth" resulting from making people "kill each other." What strikes me as peculiar about this verse is that the rider is also given a "large sword," however the rider does not wield that large sword to kill people with it. Instead, it states that the people kill each other. In other words, whatever the large sword symbolizes, it's not utilized to kill people directly but rather it causes the masses to kill one another.
Isn't that the definition of civil war?
Definition of civil war
: a war between opposing groups of citizens of the same country// a country on the brink of (a) civil war—often used in the capitalized names of specific wars // the Spanish Civil War // (American/U.S.) Civil War monuments
NOTE: The American Civil War, fought 1861–1865 between the United States and 11 southern states that had seceded from it, is also commonly known as the U.S. Civil War, or especially in the U.S. as the War Between the States or simply the Civil War.
Given this definition, could the opening of the Second Seal by the rider on the fiery red horse carrying a large sword, signify a coming civil war either regionally or globally, as people fight and kill one another? More puzzling is what would be the reason for people to kill one another?
Is it Time for the Second Rider's Appearance?
The Ides of March – the best time to go to war.
The phrase, Beware the Ides of March is most commonly associated with the date of the Roman Emperor, Julius Caesar's assassination in 44 BC. Ides comes from an old Latin verb iduare, which meant to divide. It was the Roman term for the day that came in the middle of the month. Every month has an Ides. March has 31 days, so the Ides of March is on March 15. Also of interest here is that a civil war always divides a country resulting in division among its populace. Historically, especially in recent decades, the month of March has been a time of military conflict in the world. The war in Ukraine is a current example. However, I suspect the Ukrainian-Russian conflict is but a lynchpin that ignites civil war in the rest of the world, including the United States, as described in the opening of the Second Seal.
Constitutional Nobody
The Purim Holiday
Biblically, the month of March is significant because the Jewish people celebrate Purim which occurs this year on 3/17 – just two days after the Ides of March. This holiday commemorates the defeat of Haman's plot to massacre the Jews as recorded in the Biblical book of Esther. Haman was a government official in the court of the King of Persia (now modern-day Iran) who schemed to kill all the Jews living in that land, thus seeking to create genocide and civil war in the Persian kingdom. The book of Esther describes the details of his failed plot which ironically results in Haman's own execution by hanging. The enemies of the Jews who also plotted to kill the Jews by siding with Haman's order also met their deaths as the Persian King ordered that they be sought out and executed. Thus the Jews with the help of the King took vengeance upon their enemies in Persia, in effect resulting in a civil war.
Given these observations, I can only speculate that the opening of the second seal may represent the eruption of civil war somewhere in the world resulting in a division. Only time will tell whether this occurs and whether it begins in March 2022.
An Economic Sword
A sword represents a weapon of war but it doesn't have to exclusively denote a sharped-edged tool wielded by warring combatants. A sword can symbolize a tool meant to exert influence over others, as in economic persuasion. The globalist shill, Henry Kissinger wrote these words fifty years ago which laid out the plan of the NWO-types. That plan is now unfolding before our very eyes.
Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world”~ Henry Kissinger (1973)
THE THINKING CONSERVATIVE
Yesterday's future has become today's reality.
The pieces of the puzzle are coming together. The Covid-19 plandemic is on its last legs (though vaccinating will likely never cease). The globalists are busy implementing the next step in deceiving the world through a regional war between Russia and Ukraine which will result in shortages, inflation, and the collapse of the dollar. This is how the second rider is allowed "to take peace from the earth." In order to usher in their new world order, the old world order in which we live has to be destroyed, leaving nothing but pain and suffering in its wake.
