POINTS:

• The Four Horsemen: the major players in the suffering, pain, and death of humankind.

• The White Horse: the Antichrist.

• Outside the church, this will look like many ways to salvation, religious pluralism, and self-care spirituality combined with crusading political activism.

• Inside the church, this will look like bad and politically driven teaching that Americanizes Jesus as well a commercialized Jesus that waters down the gospel.

• The Red Horse: the horse of war that appeals to the rage hidden underneath the surface that we haven’t dealt with.

• The Black Horse: is a famine of the soul, meant to take from the world what people need and leave for them the luxuries that they do not need.

• The people of God are called to contentment, elevating the fruit of the Spirit over the luxuries of this world.

• The Pale Horse: bringing physical and spiritual diseases leading to death.

• Everywhere the world tells us to look for hope, is hiding in the face of these horses, wanting the mountains to fall on them.

• Christians are the only ones who can stand and sing in the face of these riders because they are sealed by the Spirit of God.
