Behold a Pale Horse

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was
Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the
fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with
death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Revelation 6:8

What are the possibilities that Death, the pale horse rider of Revelation 6,
has been loose upon the earth during the 20th Century? Before you totally
reject this idea, take a moment to consider the following facts.

The bloodiest century
The 20th Century was the bloodiest century in the entire history of the
human race. Before the 20th Century, a war had never claimed 1 million
lives. Then came World War I with its 8 million deaths. Twenty short years
later, World War II resulted in 52 million fatalities. These two wars alone
qualify the 20th Century to be labeled the "century of death." But there is
much, much more.
The Economist magazine, September 11, 1999, reports that the governments of
the Soviet Union, China, Germany and Japan combined have killed, during this
century, 170 million in political purges. When we add to that the 8 million
killed in World War I and the 52 million in World War II, the level of
inflicted deaths becomes absolutely staggering!
As distasteful as it is, we are obligated to also mention the unprecedented
slaughter of life in the 20th Century by way of abortion. Between 1975 and
the year 2000, approximately 1.14 billion babies have been killed by
abortion.
Add to this total of death -- victims of earthquakes, famine, AIDS, cancer
and many other death-dealing diseases. The total claimed by the pale horse
rider becomes mind-boggling. With just those causes that we have been able
to list here, we can calculate a total of at least one-billion three-hundred
eighty million inflicted deaths during the last one hundred years!
When we realize that the total population of the earth to begin the 20th
Century was 1.6 billion, 1.38 billion violent deaths during the 20th Century
become all the more astounding!
Is this idea scriptural?
If the fourth seal and its pale horse rider has been loose during the 20th
Century, then it is obvious that the first, second, and third seals must
have been loosed before this. Could this be true?
The identity of the white horse rider, the red horse and the black horse is
explained in A Message for the President, chapter 3, and in Understanding
the Endtime, Lesson 4. Let's take a moment to briefly review the identity of
these three horses and their riders.

The red horse rider is Communism. Red is the official color of Communism or
Socialism. That's the reason that socialist countries are known as Red
China, Red Russia, et cetera. When God wanted to prophesy about Communism,
he used the symbol of the red horse.
But what about the black horse? Most people are not aware of it, but black
is the official color of Capitalism and Democracy.

The balances in the hand
of the black horse rider symbolize unjust trade, the central message of
Capitalism.
Once we understand the identities of the white horse, the red horse and the
black horse, it is easy to see that they have been loosed on earth for quite
some time. The Communist Manifesto was written in 1848. We also know that
Capitalism has been a force for at least 100 years now.
Since it can be shown that the first three seals were all loosed prior to
1900, then it makes perfect sense that the 4th seal, Death, would be
unleashed upon the earth during the 20th Century. The 1.38 billion deaths
that have occurred during mankind's bloodiest century ever certainly support
this belief!
Experiencing prophecy without realizing it
Throughout the history of God's dealing with man, most human beings have
been unaware of the prophetic times in which they lived. At the first coming
of Jesus, many incredible prophecies were fulfilled to the letter. Yet most
people missed His First Coming.
The same thing is occurring right now. We are experiencing far more
prophetic fulfillment than occurred at the first coming of Jesus. Yet most
people again are blissfully unaware of the prophetic times in which we
presently live.

We are still in the pale horse era
Even though the bloodiest century of mankind is now over, that does not mean
that the era of the pale horse rider, Death, is over. We know that
Revelation 9:13-16 prophesies a war that will kill "one-third part of men."
If this literally means what it says, two billion human beings will be wiped
out in this coming war. It would appear that this catastrophe will also be
included under the era of the pale horse rider -- Death. If we add this two
billion that are prophesied to die to the 1.38 billion deaths we have
already documented, this would bring the toll of death over the last one
hundred years to an incredible 3.38 billion human beings. Can anyone doubt
that Death has been riding through the earth during the 20th Century?!
After the pale horse rider -- then what?
The pale horse rider was loosed upon the earth when the fourth seal was
unleashed. A description of events under the fifth seal is given in
Revelation 6:9-11,
"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of
them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they
held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and
true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the
earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said
unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their
fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were,
should be fulfilled."
It is obvious that the events of the fifth seal occur during the time of the
Great Tribulation, since the fifth seal speaks of the martyrdom of the
saints. Notice that those souls under the altar are told to wait just a
little season until the persecution of their fellowservants and their
brethren was fulfilled.
From all of these things, we understand that we are approaching the end of
the fourth seal era and nearing the beginning of the time of the Great
Tribulation. Negotiations on the final status of Jerusalem and the return of
areas of Judea to Arab control indicate that conditions are presently
shaping up to fulfill the prophecies concerning the Great Tribulation
period.
