Revelation 6:4
_ _ red — the color of blood. The color of the horse in each case answers to the mission of the rider. Compare Matthew 10:24-36, “Think not I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword.” The white horse of Christ’s bloodless victories is soon followed, through man’s perversion of the Gospel, by the red horse of bloodshed; but this is overruled to the clearing away of the obstacles to Christ’s coming kingdom. The patient ox is the emblem of the second living creature who, at the opening of this seal, saith, “Come.” The saints amidst judgments on the earth in patience “endure to the end.”
_ _ that they should kill — The Greek is indicative future, “that they may, as they also shall, kill one another.” |
Revelation 6:4
There went forth another horse that was red — A colour suitable to bloodshed. And to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth — Vespasian, in the year 75, had dedicated a temple to Peace; but after a time we hear little more of peace. All is full of war and bloodshed, chiefly in the western world, where the main business of men seemed to be, to kill one another.
To this horseman there was given a great sword; and he had much to do with it; for as soon as Trajan ascended the throne, peace was taken from the earth. Decebalus, king of Dacia, which lies westward from Patmos, put the Romans to no small trouble. The war lasted five years, and consumed abundance of men on both sides; yet was only a prelude to much other bloodshed, which followed for a long season. All this was signified by the great sword, which strikes those who are near, as the bow does those who are at a distance. |

I have given him the land of Egypt [for] his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.
Daniel 2:37-38 Thou, O king, [art] a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. ...
