1    ๐, I [John] watch [Yahshua] the Lamb open one of the [book's] seals. [BOOM!] A noise like thunder [blasts] my ears. [The lion-like] one of the 4 creatures calls, โCome and see!โ
2     I see. [You, ๐,] see: A white horse. The rider who sits on [the white horse carries] a bow. [YAH] gives a crown to the rider. The rider rides forth. [He] conquers [worlds]. [He] rides on to conquer again. Yahshua? | Yahshua Opens Seal #2: War Ravages Earth | 3 [Yahshua] the Lamb opens the [book's] second seal. Then, ๐, I hear the [calf-like] creature say, โCome and see.โ lit. โ2nd creature.โ4     Another horse [runs] out: a red [stallion]. [YAH] gives its rider power to take peace from the earth. So humans kill each other, ๐. [YAH] gives this red horse's rider a great sword. | Yahshua Opens Seal #3: Judgment Descends | 5     The Lamb opens the [book's] 3rd seal. I hear the [man-like] creature say, โCome and see!โ So I look. See, ๐: A black horse. Its rider carries a pair of balances in his hand. lit. โ3rd creatureโ.6  I hear a voice in the midst of the 4 creatures say, โ1 measure of wheat for a day's wages; 3 measures of barley for a day's pay. [Give every human what he deserves!] And never damage the oil and the wine!โ Day's wages (pay) = denarius. Oil & wine = the holy spirit inside of true believers. | Yahshua Opens Seal #4: Death Devours Mankind | 7 The Lamb opens the [book's] 4th seal, ๐. I hear the voice of the 4th [eagle-like] creature say, โCome and see.โ
8     I look. See, ๐! A [sickly pale] greenish horse. โThe Deathโ is the name of the rider who sits upon the green horse. โThe Unseenโ [Grave] follows with โthe Death.โ [YAH] gives power to [โthe Deathโ and โthe Unseenโ] over 1/4th of the earth, to kill [people] with sword, famine, plague, and land-beasts. Death's horse is not grey, it's pale, sickly green:
5515 chloros khlo-ros' from #5514; greenish, i.e. verdant, dun-colored:--green, pale. Death is green because from death springs life. The raw material of existence recycles into green new life.
Chloros is the base of our word โchlorophyllโ: bright green, grass-green. The same word is used in conjunction with grass in Mark 6:39 and Rev 8:7, and it's the color of spring, rejuvenation, re-birth.
Again, โhellโ is usually used here, but โHadesโ means โthe unseenโ (as does Hades' Hebrew equivalent: Sheol.) | Yahshua Opens Seal #5: Martyrs Die & Rest | 9     The Lamb opens the [book's] 5th seal, ๐. Under the altar I see the souls of [martyrs whom persecutors] murdered for [heralding] the word of [YHVH] the Eloah, and for telling [what they'd seen and heard]. Bearing their testimony.10     [The martyrs] cry with a loud voice, ๐, praying, โHow long, [YHVH] Adonai, holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on the [murderous] earth-dwellers?โ11     [Angels] give white robes to each of the martyrs. Then [Yahshua] says to [the martyrs,] โRest for a little while, until [persecutors] murder all of your fellow-servants. [YAH] has destined [many of] your brothers to be killed as you were. YAH planned for you churchgoers to be crucified. But you got a job, a mortgage, and the mark of the beast instead. | Yahshua Opens Seal #6: Earth & Space Quake | 12    I look, ๐: [Yahshua] the Lamb opens the [book's] 6th seal. See, ๐! A great earthquake [rocks the world]. The [golden] sun turns black like sack-cloth made of [goat's] hair. The [white] moon turns blood red!
13  The stars of heaven fall to the earth ๐, just like a fig tree drops its green figs when a mighty wind shakes it. 14     The sky rolls back like a scroll, ๐. Every mountain and island shakes out of its place. 15    The kings of the earth, and the grand men, and the rich men, and the chief generals, and the mighty [fighters], and every bound [slave], and every free man, hide themselves in [earth's] caves. [They cower in spider-holes], enshrouded in mountain rocks, ๐.16     All [the world's] people call to the mountains and rocks, โFall on us! Hide us from the face of [YHVH] who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of [Yahshua] the Lamb! 17  For the great Day of [YAH's and Yahshua's] fury arrives. Who can stand, ๐?โ  | | | | | |
