More Revelation

 

Dear beloved: Pics above: Wall construction at LW Primary School;  Living Water Church Anniversary celebration

Revelation 6:5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature call out, "Come!"  I looked, and there was a black horse! Its rider held a pair of scales in his hand, v6 and I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarious (day's wage), and three quarts of barley for a denarious, but do not damage the oil or the wine!"

Beloved, the scenarios described in the Book of Revelation can be frightening, befuddling, and at the same time fascinating.  So what are we to make of them all, and how do line up with the current events of the day?  Many people try to overlay and insert the daily news headlines, especially in how it relates to Israel, to predict or imagine where we are in the end time calendar. Have the events of Revelation already occured?  Are we half way through, and if so what chapter, or has none of it taken place?  The first time or two I read through the Book of Revelation, I thought we must surely be living in the Great Tribulation, there are so many wars and so much chaos on the earth. Then to help me understand the Lords' timing, He gave me a vivid prophetic vision of the above Scripture. I was watching the very black horse of famine come out of his stall, with the rider up and holding the set of scales in his hand. The rider proceeded to repeat word for word, "a quart of wheat for a denarious, and three quarts of barley for a denarious", which is basically a description of future rampant inflation. At today's prices, assuming $100 for a day's wage, it would figure out to be roughly $100 for a loaf of bread. Praise God we are not there yet! This vision was given to me almost twenty years ago, and I believe the Lord was showing me to get busy bringing in the lost who have not heard the good news of the Gospel. He wanted me to see we are not in the Great Tribulation!  Gather the Outcasts mission is to bring in the lost, to baptize them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and to teach and disciple them in all that He has commanded.  Pray about your part in coming along side us in fulfilling the Great Commission.  God bless you as you pray!
