I want to share with you a recent dream I had about four horses. I was standing outside a corral, and there were three horses of different colors in the corral. They were huge. They were standing at the starting gate, pawing at the ground and snorting with smoke coming from their nostrils.
A man in a large, black Druid robe corralled the three horses. They were difficult to control. The horses were excited because they knew it was time for them to be released. The man in the black robe looked angrily at me. Then I saw a fourth horse outside the corral.
It was a red horse, riding in the world, like lightning through the earth. It left rubble and destruction wherever it roamed. The man in the black robe said to the three horses in the corral, “It’s almost time for one of your last rides. This time you’ll run wild together with no restraint.” Then the man said, “I must turn these followers of Him against one another.” He could not say the name of the Lord, just “Him.” So, I spoke up and said, “Jesus!” As soon as I said “Jesus,” I woke up.
Since there were four horses in the dream, I want to share with you about “Four Horses, Four Anointings, and Four Creatures.”
Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, ‘Come and see.’ And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, ‘Come and see.’ Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, ‘Come and see.’ So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, ‘A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.’
When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, ‘Come and see.’ So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth (Revelation 6:1-8).
There were four horses and four living creatures mentioned in this passage. In Revelation 1:19, John was instructed, “Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.” This speaks of the past, present, and future. Revelation is an unveiling of the Lord Jesus Christ consisting of things that will unfold in the entirety of the church age.
Since the apostles preached after the day of Pentecost, a progression of these horses has been released. The Lord showed me a new layer of fulfillment of this began in 2020. The world will never again be like it was prior to 2020.
In Revelation 6, the four living creatures that surrounded God’s throne revealed the four horses. The four living creatures were the lion, ox, man, and eagle (see Revelation 4:6-8). Each time one of these living creatures broke a seal in Revelation 6, one of the four horses rode—the white, red, black, or pale horse. (Pale in the original Greek means “green,” so the last horse is a greenish color.) Each color depicts the horses’ objectives when released on the earth.
Though there were four horses, the same rider was on all four. Many people think the rider of the white horse in Revelation 6 is the same white horse rider in Revelation 19. However, Revelation 19:16 says, “And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” That rider is Jesus, and what is written about Him doesn’t look anything like the Revelation 6 horse rider. Why is this significant? The rider in Revelation 6 is the antichrist spirit that has been against Christ since the first century. John even said the spirit of the antichrist “is now already in the world” (see 1 John 4:2-4). This antichrist spirit, which has long been attempting to gain control over God’s world, rides these four horses as they accomplish their objectives.
However, the four beasts also introduced the four anointings that were to be released to the church in the last days and throughout the church age to war against the antichrist spirit. These are the apostolic anointing, laboring anointing, reformer anointing, and prophetic anointing. Next week, I will share more about these.
