What does Revelation Chapter 6 verse 4 mean for us in 2006?

Answer 1

It probably means the same to you as it did to people in 1918, 1939, 1941, 1942, 1955, 1965, 1990, 1812, 1776, 1763, 1865, 1860...the list goes on

Answer 2

I cannot give you my interpretation because I am a man and therefore I am imperfect.
These things (Revelations in the New Testament and all other writ which claims to be holy scripture, Christian or otherwise) can only be understood by the Power of the Holy Ghost.
Here are the following scriptures to make my point:
John 14:26 and John 16:13 the purpose of the Holy Ghost as teacher and testifier and a guide to all truth and of God the Father and His son, Jesus Christ.
Galatians 5:22-23 How you may know how the Holy Ghost speaks or confirms the truthfulness of something to you.
James 1:5 Why ask God to know something?

I hope this helps you understand that in order for us to understand if anything we see, read or hear is true or not and what it means we need to go to the source of all truth, being God and the Holy Ghost.
If you have further Questions write.

1st of all you just cant take part of a scripture and run with it. the bible is a book of events that has happened and that will soon to come to past: Revelation chapter 6 verse 1, And I saw when the lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the 4 beasts saying, Come and see.2. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 3 and when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, come and see.4 and there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat theron to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword................. this passage is speaking of the seals being open. more like the time of the rapture... dont try and use the bible to youre own needs take the whole text and seek knowledge instead of a make belive fairytale,

Answer 4

One might think that this seal has already been open, and maybe it has to an extent, but this will be far worse in the tribulation hour


4Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.

Answer 5

Revelation 6:4
"And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."

The red horse would denote carnage, discord and bloodshed. A time of slaughter.

The sword is an emblem of war, of slaughter, of authority
and is here used as signifying that that period would be characterized by carnage.It is not said by whom the sword was presented. It merely refers to, that the rider was presented with a sword as a symbol of what would occur.

Civil war and bloodshed: to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another.

Answer 6

This is refering to the comunistic Country such as China and China will have the power to conquer. In the end times which I feel we are now going through, China will attack and conquer as it already has its 1 million man army. the red stands for communisim and is the color of Chinas Flag

Answer 7

Well no one uses horses or swords except for North Korea so you put the pieces together.

Answer 8

Some manic schizophrenic's rantings ... that our fundamentalists might perpetuate a selffulfilling prophecy of doom upon us collectively by ... if they are allowed the means ...

Answer 9

Its the second seal and it has not come to pass yet.It means peace taken from earth

Answer 10

It means that when the great tribulation happens that one of the punishments will be, people killing one another, no peace.
