Praise the LORD!

The interpretation of Revelation, which we (New Things Church of the LORD) are preaching, is NOT AT ALL from a man’s own idea or analysis. But it is the words of the Lord spoken three times on March 19, 1958 through the mouth of south Korean pastor Boanerge Lee (Roe Ja Lee in Korean). God commanded to write down those words and then we have preached this truth so far.

Chapter 6; The Beginning of Unsealing

 

When the Lord who took the sealed book in Chapter 5 started to open the seals, one of four living creatures gave a command sternly as with a voice of thunder. This means that the Work of the Lamb that opens the seals is done under the sovereignty of God. (1)

 

The seals represent the sovereignty, so it means that everything in the world moves under the hands of Christ, and the Rider of a white horse first appeared.

The purpose that Christ opens the seals is to save all world mankind and make the New Era. According to Revelation 19:11 and following verses, the white horse beats the last evil force of the beast and the false prophet and achieves the perfect victory, so the appearance of the white horse surely indicates the Gospel movement for the construction of the Kingdom.

This movement is the war against the devil. A bow is the same as written in Zechariah 9:13 that “I will bend Judah as My bow against Gentiles,” and in Jeremiah 50:28~29 that “The LORD summons all those who bend bow to repay what Babylon has done.” Therefore, the Rider of the white horse with a bow signifies the one who has the authority of Judgement. A crown given to Him indicates that He receives Kingship of the complete victory and conquers; and the two conquests stand for Christian Gospel movement arising twice.

The first conquest was during the Era of Favor that redeems lost people from the authority of sin, and the second conquest is to destroy the devil entirely from the earth. Therefore, the beginning of breaking the sealed book is the beginning of Judgement period. Until today, mid-20th century, it has been a time of moving from the law of death to the law of the Spirit of life by pouring Holy Spirit to all mankind, and they have been baptized the same way by the fire which came down on the upper room in Jerusalem. But the Second conquest indicates the last war to eliminate the red dragon. (2)

 

When the second seal was broken, another, a red horse went out. It was written “the rider was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men should slay one another; and a great sword was given to him”; this means that in Judgement period when the white horse shall conquer the second time, God allows a red regime, a tool of the red dragon, to occupy a large northern area.

Because Revelation was revealed to an Asian man, what it shows is Asia-centered. Today, the red force that was granted mainly over Asia brings unsolvable problems in far eastern Asia, so that world peace cannot be preserved as oil and water cannot be mixed.

At this time, internecine feuds that people in the tents of Shem kill each other are one of the signs of Judgement period (ref. Matthew 24:7~10, Isaiah 19:2~3 and Micah 7:5~6). The reason God works in this way is to follow His Counsel for Judgement. It is the entire contents of the Law of Prophecy regarding Judgement that those who receive the mark of the red beast will die, while others who reject it will live (ref. Revelation 14:9~11). Judgement will come after God first uses up the evil force to strike the corrupted world. (3~4)

 

When the third seal was broken, a black horse came out. Its rider had a pair of scales in his hand’; this indicates that when the red force covers Asia by the revolution, a southern force, capitalism hegemony, appears against the regime of the red ideology, as it is written in Zechariah 6:6. Unless the force of economic hegemony defends Asia, the red force would become out of control. The reason God works like this is because it is not Judgement period yet. He temporally uses the black horse until Judgement period arrives. (5)

 

There was a voice out of the four living creatures saying “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine”; this indicates economic chaos to come in far eastern Asia. A denarius signifies a reasonable daily wage as Matthew 20:2 says, so it demonstrates that a daily wage will be never enough to make a living.

It is the economic chaos that will come at the ends of the East as in Isaiah 41:17. But it is said “do not harm the oil and the wine”; the Last Work which God absolutely protects will take place from eastern Asia where Christianity preserves its essence and prepares both the oil and the lamp. Even though the red force invades from north and the economic chaos comes through capitalism hegemony, no one could harm the Work of truth like the true olive oil and the choicest wine which will emerge in the last days. (6)

 

When the fourth seal was broken, a pale horse came; this means the great temptation in the end of Christianity.

The four horses that God is showing are as follows: the white horse represents Christian Gospelism, the red horse and the black horse are political conflict, and the pale horse is extremely strong work of the devil that tries to deceive even the chosen ones if possible. Just as its color is hardly distinguishable, the devil’s temptation comes out in indiscernible treacherous way, and its name is Death. Hades following with it means that this is the work of the devil which leads into hell.

The authority given to them over a fourth of the earth means that it would become one of the four world powers and kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth. It works in various ways; first, it brings massacres. Second, it deprives freedom. Third, heightening the power of sin, it kills souls by materialistic thought. (7~8)

 

When the fifth seal was broken, all souls of martyrs cried out for Judgement; this means that near is Judgement to avenge martyrs’ victimized blood. A white robe given to them signifies that their souls are acknowledged as brides. They were asked to wait for a little while until the number of those who follows after them should be completed.

What they wait for is the Last Work to complete the number of those who must hold the plumb line of Judgement and fight against the power of the pale horse. The Lord said “be killed”; it indicates martyr-like life, and no one can testify the truth without the martyr-like life at the end. (9~11)

 

On the day of God’s vengeance for the victimized ones, a great earthquake takes place and the sun becomes black as sackcloth made of hair; it indicates the days of black darkness is coming. The moon becoming like blood means that the role of the saints who reflect the light as the moon does will not be seen any more from the earth, and the stars of the sky that fell to the earth means that the sincere leaders will forfeit their authority. The sky split apart like a scroll signifies that works of grace will be withdrawn from the earth and the days of wrath will come. Every mountain and island moved out of their places means that when all human hierarchy chaotically becomes meaningless, no matter who is seizing human regime or holding economic power, or strong or weak, they all will be panicked in the days of wrath.

At the place of humiliation and bitter regret, they shall not be able to stand on that day but will perish. (12~17)

 

The reason God shows Chapter 6 is to warn of the time when the days of wrath is imminent. Therefore, the days of wrath which is inevitable by the power of human is when the four horses conflict against each other.
