THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE

(God’s Judgment Unleashed in the Tribulation Period)
Revelation 6:1–8 (KJV)

INTRODUCTION
The Four Horsemen do NOT belong to the Church Age.
They are future judgments released after the Rapture, during Daniel’s 70th Week, known as the Tribulation Period.

These riders reveal how Satan deceives, how man destroys, and how God judges a Christ-rejecting world.
Revelation 6:1 – “I heard… Come and see.”

①DECEPTION — The White Horse
Revelation 6:2
“And behold a white horse… and a crown was given unto him.”
This is NOT Christ (cf. Revelation 19)

Subpoints (Alliterated):
Counterfeit Christ – Looks righteous but is false
2 Corinthians 11:14
Cunning Conquest – Conquers by diplomacy, not war

Daniel 8:25
Crowned Consent – Authority GIVEN by men
John 5:43
Calculated Control – Prepares world for Antichrist
2 Thessalonians 2:3–4
Dispensational Truth: The Antichrist rises after the Church is removed.

②DESTRUCTION — The Red Horse
Revelation 6:4
“Power was given… to take peace from the earth.”

Subpoints:
Peace Removed – Global instability
1 Thessalonians 5:3
People Rioting – Civil war & violence
Matthew 24:6–7
Power Released – Satanic aggression
Revelation 12:12
Prolific Bloodshed – Mass death worldwide
Luke 21:26
When deception fails, destruction follows.

③DESTITUTION — The Black Horse
Revelation 6:5–6
“A measure of wheat for a penny…”

Subpoints:
Scarcity of Food – Famine everywhere
Ezekiel 4:16
Soaring Prices – Inflation & poverty
James 5:4
Selective Survival – Rich protected, poor perish
Revelation 13:16–17
Systemic Control – Economic enslavement
Proverbs 22:7
Man cannot survive without Christ’s provision.

④DEVASTATION — The Pale Horse
Revelation 6:8
“And his name that sat on him was Death.”

Subpoints:
Death Personified – Direct judgment
Romans 5:12
Disease Spread – Pestilence & plagues
Luke 21:11
Destruction Multiplied – ¼ of earth dies
Revelation 9:18
Damnation Confirmed – Hell follows
Hebrews 10:31
This is the worst period the world has ever known.

CALL TO ACTION

Now is the day of salvation
Believe the Gospel
Trust Christ before judgment comes

2 Corinthians 6:2 – “Now is the accepted time…”

CONCLUSION

The Four Horsemen ride after grace closes.
They do not warn—they judge.
The Church will not face these seals, but the lost world will.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 – “Jesus… delivered us from the wrath to come.”

FINAL THOUGHTS

Deception prepares the way
Destruction removes peace
Destitution empties the world
Devastation ends human pride

Grace saves today — Judgment rides tomorrow.
