SEAL 3… (Revelation 6:5-6) “When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not waste the olive oil and the wine!”
The rider on the Black Horse clearly represents a complete global economic crash and severe famine. A quart of wheat or three quarts of barley would be barely enough to feed one man for a day, let alone a family. It is also interesting to note that, in the ancient world, olive oil and wine were used to treat wounded soldiers.
In this country, during the “Great Depression”, jobs were extremely scarce. Men were forced to stand in huge lines at docks, factories, various companies, and even small local businesses in the desperate hope of being selected for the few “Day Jobs” that were available. These frantic men were more than willing to work long hard hours to earn enough money to buy a meager amount of food to try to feed their family for one more day.
Today, Americans are still blessed with unemployment checks, welfare checks, and food stamps. However, America, along with almost every European country is completely bankrupt. These generous life support benefits will soon dry up. The next global economic crash will be vastly more severe than the Great Depression. Despite what we may want to believe, the coming economic disaster that began in 2008… is unstoppable!
