Revelation 6:1: “And I saw when the Lamb 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 when the Lamb opened one of the seals,”
John sees Jesus Christ unleashes the first seal.
“and I heard,”
John hears something.
“as it were the noise of thunder,”
There’s a noise coming out of nowhere.
“one of the four beasts saying,”
Here’s something interesting, one of the four cherubims said. In verses 1 to 8, they are talking about the four horsemen here. Remember, there are four cherubs up in heaven, and they’re going to match the four horsemen of Revelation. Look at the second, third, and fourth horsemen, each of these beats introduced these riders. What does this mean? Satan always wants to imitate God. God has His four riders. The Bible says God rides on the wings of a cherub in the book of Psalms. So God has His own riders, and Satan wants his own riders of apocalypse.
“Come and see.”
Whoever this first cherub is, says, Look at this one coming out.
Revelation 6:2: “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 I saw, and behold a white horse:”
Here comes this white horse. This looks positive, ‘is this Jesus Christ?’
“and he that sat on him had a bow;”
The bow looks like a cross, ‘this must be Jesus Christ.’
“and a crown was given unto him:”
‘That’s got to be Jesus Christ.’ He’s got a crown on him.
“and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”
He’s conquering all the enemies around the world, ‘this is Jesus Christ.’
In verse 1, it says all of a sudden there’s a noise, and in verse 2, he suddenly shows up. That could mean that this was coming out of nowhere like a UFO. Suddenly, this rider comes out, and he’s dressed in white. Then, he’s got these two fingers and he’s got a crown on his head. He comes out and says, “I’m finally here, the one you’ve been waiting for and let’s take the kingdom now. We’ve fought it through together and now let’s conquer these hate groups and terrorists out there. You’ve been having trouble with Russia, China, other rogue nations, and the Muslim nations. Good job to the United Nations and all the ecumenical world council of churches, good job keeping it together. Now, let’s do a complete conquest right here.” And they say, “Hallelujah, worthy is the lamb that was slain. This is Jesus Christ, it’s got to be Jesus Christ.”
Let’s look at Revelation 19 and see Jesus Christ on His horse. Notice that this is way after the first horseman that comes out.
Revelation 19:11: “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.”
“called Faithful and True” This is Jesus Christ. “and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.” There’s conquering and to conquer.
Revelation 19:12: “His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.”
He’s not bringing peace. “on his head were many crowns;” Revelation 6 only has one crown.
Revelation 19:13: “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”
“And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:” Imagine this being came out of nowhere, with eyes all red with fire, garments dipped in blood. Do you know what the world is going to say? “Oh, that can’t be Jesus. This is the Antichrist we were warned about. This is not the blond-haired, blue-eyed Jesus that loves me as a homosexual for who I am. This can’t be Jesus Christ here. This is a crazy hate group.”
Revelation 19:15: “And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.”
The world’s going to go, “This can’t be Jesus Christ. He’s got to come down peaceably like Revelation 6:2 where he’s got a bow. The bow is a weapon, but it’s going to be done peaceably.”
Who’s the being that comes in and conquers the world through peace? What did Jesus Christ say? “I come down not to bring peace but war.”
Revelation 6 is not talking about Jesus Christ, it’s a hellish majesty. This is the pope right here, coming down conquering and to conquer.
A lot of people don’t think that it’s going to be the pope. The reason why is because the pope is more of a religious figure rather than a secular, political, powerful figure. But we believe more in what Dr. Ruckman taught concerning the pope as the Antichrist in his Revelation commentaries and his apocalypse book. Also, for over a thousand years, when people talked about the Antichrist, they’re referring to the pope. The Great Awakening revival preachers called the pope the Antichrist.
The Catholic popes have always changed since the early centuries. That’s why they don’t think that today’s pope could be the Antichrist because they’re only looking at their today’s point of view of the pope. But in the early centuries, the pope was not like today’s.
In the early days, the pope was the ruler of the whole world. As time passes by, this went underground where they received their power and they’re playing a minor role. As we hit the tribulation, they change roles again where he becomes an awesome figure. Even today, we are seeing new things with the pope today. There is a Jesuit who became a pope today. That’s unheard of. In conspiracy theories, the one at the top of the pyramid is the Jesuit leader or the Jesuit general, also known as the ‘black pope.’
Some people don’t understand how a Jesuit general can be combined with a white pope. (It’s also interesting to note that they called him the “WHITE” pope). The Antichrist can do that. He can combine both roles and take over the whole world. In the blood oath of the Jesuits, they mentioned that the goal is to make sure the world is under the conquest and the rulership of the white people. That’s their job.
What about the idea of the cross? If we draw a bow and take aim, we have to pull it back. The arrow and the string of the bow form the cross there. God mentions this spiritual creature that comes down with a bow, and if you’re going to shoot, what happens when you let go of that arrow? That particular hand gesture means ‘peace be unto you’ by the pope. But the Bible says the Antichrist comes in and conquers the people through peace.
Some people might say how he can house the pope, by being both a Syrian and a Jew? How will the Antichrist control the whole diversity of worlds unless he meets up all the diversity of roles? Isn’t Jesus Christ fulfilling three diverse roles as a prophet, priest, and king? Satan’s trying to imitate everything right there.
