Okay, what we want to uh see in uh Revelation chapter six with the Antichrist, and remember that I said that the first four seals that are uh opened uh and released are releasing the leadership stages or phases of the Antichrist. And even more than that, though, is that remember is these are spirits that are working uh through uh this human person, whoever the Antichrist is. These will be spirits that are working through that, through him, and through uh the false prophet and through all that uh the Antichrist and Satan sets up. And so here what we have is we have these spirits that are being released by these first four seals that were around, again, uh what uh Jesus took the scroll out of the hand of the Father in chapter five. As they are released, you know, we see that the Antichrist is released and his controlling nature, a spirit of control, is working there, and he is taking control over the world. Then we see that it becomes a violent spirit, a bitter spirit, and it is a spirit of destruction. And so it is taking peace. In fact, that very scripture in Revelation chapter 6 tells us that it is taking peace. That is its goal, because it is a spirit of destruction, so that it is raising one person against another. Then what we see is we see a spirit of bondage or poverty. Now, uh poverty is bondage, and he is put and he is taking away their food supply. So now they are in bondage. He is controlling them through their food supply and uh and through the economy. And basically, he's bringing a crash to the economy, and this is a spirit that's being released. Now, the the reason that I one of the reasons why this is so important to understand these are spirits behind this is because um we will have a tendency to just think, well, this is man who has gone awry, man who has done the wrong things, whatever, uh, you know, has made mistakes or whatever. That's not what's going on here. What's going on here is a plan from Satan to destroy the world, to destroy God's creation, to come against God. That is the setting up of the Antichrist and the kingdom of darkness, and that. And that is the whole setup here in the tribulation period. But uh God is using this to bring about his judgment and bring about the time of Jacob's trouble. And uh one other reason is to bring about a remnant that he promised Abraham and that he promised uh prophets of old that would be given. A remnant of the Jews would be saved. And this is why it's called a time of Jacob's trouble, because that is the focus for God. He is bringing judgment upon the world and wrath upon the world for the sins and things that are going on, for the to to eventually bring to end the uh law of sin and death, to bring to end to the kingdom of darkness and that. But um uh we see that these spirits are the ones that are controlling the Antichrist and uh his uh leadership. So we have the controlling spirit of the Antichrist coming on with the white horse, then we have the red horse, which is now a destroying spirit and a violent spirit that's taking peace from the earth. Then we have a black horse that comes riding that is controlling the economy and bringing it uh uh control and a bondage to the people, uh uh, you know, and that is controlling their food supply and everything else. So it is a controlling uh bondage type of spirit. And then what we see the last, the pale horse, which in the Greek is green, that green horse is uh death. And so now he brings death. Remember again, Jesus told us that this is the goals of the kingdom of darkness in John 10 10. The thief cometh not before to steal, kill, and destroy. And so we hear, we see those phases of the Antichrist um leadership. And in those phases, we see those spirits that are bringing that destruction, that stealing, and that killing that is the goal of the kingdom of darkness.
