Each seal opens a new chapter in the book sealed with seven seals. The contents of the book under the second seal are revealed in symbol form in the seventh and eigth verses of Revelation Chapter 6.
Revelation Chapter 6 Verse 7
Links to other articles in the seriesThis article is one in a series of studies on the Seven Seals - you are currently on the topic that is in bold:
The Lamb opens the fourth SealJesus, the Lamb of God, opens the fourth seal just as he opened the first three seals.
The fourth beastThe last six-winged beast, which looks like an eagle, says "Come and see." Like the Gospel of John (the fourth book protecting the testimony of Jesus Christ, and giving witness to the book of Acts), the eagle declares that a prophet will arise to anounce the coming of the Lord and expose the Devil. Under the anointing of the eagle the Church is carried by the wind of the Holy Spirit above persecutions and false doctrines, and back to the faith of the Apostolic fathers.
Revelation Chapter 6 Verse 8
The pale horseA horse is a power, and pale is a mixture of the three previous colours. Pale is a mixture of religious, demonic, and political power.
(Sermon: The Fourth Seal) The rider named DeathThis rider is the same Antichrist spirit that rode the white horse, and the same false prophet that rode the red and black horses. This rider is the mature Nicolaritan spirit in the form of a man, but could not be identified without the vision of a prophet.
Power over the fourth part of the earthCurrently, 33% of the world's population claims to be Christian (http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html), while 17% of the worlds population claim to be Catholic (http://cara.georgetown.edu/bulletin/index.htm). One interpretation would be to expect this 17% to increase to 25%, or to expect an alliance between Roman Catholic and certain Protestand or Orthodox churches to increase this to 25% by association. Just as the white horse rode conquering and to conquer, the pale horse is given conquering power over a fourth part of the earth through his doctrine.
The sword, hunger, death, and hellThe sword is the power of the red horse, hunger is the power of the black horse, and death is the power of the pale horse. Hell follows natural death, and reveals the end of the Antichrist's rule on the earth. Hell also signifies spiritual death.
The sword by which Satan will be killed is the Sword of the Word of God.
When will the Pale Horse Ride?
William Branham prophecied that the fourth horse rider is on his last ride now, but has not yet been given power over the earth, the sword, bread, or death. Some of his comments indicate exactly when he will rise with this power:
William Branham also pointed out that when Jesus comes, he will ride a white horse, and his name will be "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS" (Revelation 19:16) Out of his mouth will go a sharp sword, which is the Word of God, and he will call the fowls of the air to a great feast of the flesh of man (Revelation 19:15, 17). This prophecy reveals that the last Pope and the Christian denominations will be eaten by wild animals just like Ahab and Jezebel were eaten by animals as prophecied by Elijah.
