Page 8: Revelation Week 4 - The Sealed and Unsealed

The Four HorsemenI looked up and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains-- mountains of bronze. The first chariot had red horses, the second chariot black horses, the third chariot white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled gray horses.

Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"

The angel answered me, "These are the four winds of heaven going out, after presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth.

Page 9: Revelation Week 4 - The Sealed and Unsealed

The Four Horsemen“The chariot with the black horses goes toward the north country, the white ones [follow it and go with] the dappled ones toward the south country."

When the steeds came out, they were impatient to get off and patrol the earth. And he said, "Go, patrol the earth." So they patrolled the earth.

Then he cried out to me, "Lo, those who go toward the north country have set my spirit at rest in the north country."

2 Corinthians 4:5-12Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.

Yes, we live under constant danger of death because we serve Jesus, so that the life of Jesus will be evident in our dying bodies. So we live in the face of death, but this has resulted in eternal life for you."

-- 2 Corinthians 4:5-12 (NLT)
