As background, please consider what we read in Revelation prior to Chapter 6. In Chapter 4 we see Yahweh, the Creator and sustainer sitting on His throne in heaven. He is worthy of all honor and glory as the host of heaven demonstrates.
Then, in Chapter 5 we see the Father holding a scroll with seven seals in His right hand. There is a call put forth for someone who is worthy to open the scroll. At first, it appears that no one is worthy, and John begins to weep over this conclusion. But the Lamb that was slain, the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the risen Lord Jesus Christ steps forward to receive the scroll.
Christ is worthy to receive the scroll because He has purchased the creation with His blood (Rev. 5:9). Then all the heavenly host sing a new song of praise to the risen Christ.
I want to remind readers that this scroll Jesus receives from the Father, is likely related in some sense to the scroll that the prophet Daniel was instructed to “seal up until the end of time” (Daniel 12:4). If that is true, then it is worth our time to understand what was revealed to Daniel in the book that bears his name.
In the two verses we consider now, a picture of famine is brought to the forefront. I contend that this famine coming upon the earth is to a large degree manufactured by wicked people. You need look no further than the over one hundred strange fires and explosions at food, grain, and poultry processing plants in 2022 for proof.
In years past, prophecy experts, those whose ministry focused almost exclusively on discussing and analyzing the most important prophetic passages in the Bible, discussed the black horse and its rider in terms of the naturally flowing consequences from the Red Horse which we have learned symbolizes much more than war.
In our study of the Red Horse, we discovered the phrase “that men would slay one another” in verse 4, meant a widespread barbarism; a form of ritual sacrifice of bloodletting across the earth. The word for slay in the Hebrew means butchering and sacrifice upon an altar. We see this today in the destruction of unborn humans in the womb. We see it clearly in the massive number of sudden deaths, now in the tens of thousands, without explanation. Blood clots have become a deadly problem for thousands of others. A medical profession that was not being controlled, censured, and threatened would be sounding an alarm to stop the progressive advance of the toxic kill shots.
We see this slaughter in every major city in America. People murdering other people, shooting other people to settle a score, home invasions, indiscriminate violence on our streets, rage on our roads, with no rational explanation for this escalation except, the Bible warns that this will happen in the days before Christ’s return. The typical response from elected representatives is to outlaw guns. I once again repeat what I’ve said thousands of times already. Guns don’t kill people. People kill people, and if not by gun, then by some other method.
The problem of violence in America is a heart problem. If American politicians wanted to begin to end the violence in America, they would stop pushing gun control and start teaching Christian virtue, morals, and ethics once again in our schools and universities. That must be followed by eliminating all laws, statutes, rules, and ordinances that are repugnant to the Constitution. Within a few years our society would be drastically changed.
My point in all of this is to say that verses 5-6, the Black Horse and the famine it brings, is happening across the earth today. It is the deliberate destruction of the ability of most nations to feed their citizenry and in some cases, such as in America, to export food for the benefit of other countries.
One example among many is what the Dutch government has chosen to do to its farmers. A recent report in the Durden Dispatch provides the following information.
Dutch farmers protesting for months over the government’s radical ‘green’ plan to slash nitrogen emissions by 50% - 95% could soon face forced buyouts of their land.[1]
The Netherlands has an official office within their government dedicated to a green agenda. Their nitrogen minister, Christianne van der Wal recently stated: “For agricultural entrepreneurs, there will be a stopping scheme that will be as attractive as possible.” In other words, the government of The Netherlands is buying out farmers to let their land lay idle.
The Dutch government plans to purchase 3,000 ”peak polluter” farms via a €24.3 billion ($25.6 billion) fund…The country is attempting to reduce nitrogen pollution and will make farm purchases if not enough landowners accept buyouts. She added: “There is no better offer coming.”
Some might be wondering “Why The Netherlands?” Isn’t it a small nation without any significant footprint? Here’s perhaps the most important statement in the entire article:
The Netherlands is trying to reduce emissions and follow through with a green agenda, but it could jeopardize the nation’s food supply and put the world’s supply at risk. Recent data shows the country, which is the size of Maryland, is the world’s second-largest exporter of agricultural products by value behind the US.[2]
Would reminding the climate change alarmists and the green agenda advocates that are bent on our destruction, that the air we breathe is made up of 78% nitrogen, help them down off the edge of their imagined global suicide? Probably not, because the green agenda is a religion of Gaia (Mother Earth) worship.
Again, the agenda of the globalists is clear – destroy the global supply chain and usher in an unprecedented worldwide famine. Think I’m sensationalizing and hyping something that simply isn’t happening? Consider this from the one global organization that seems to be the central operations center for everything under the umbrella of the New World Order – the United Nations.
