His Secret
Chapter 4
The Red Horse and the Sword
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 thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. - Revelation 6:3, 4
The red horse is a representation of the Serpents of the 6th trumpet. The color red is signifying blood, for there is blood that is shed. The key clue in this passage is the sword. In Ezekiel’s hair, the Multitude is scattered in the wind and the Lord draws a sword out after them, this sword is the sword wielded by the Serpents. The sword of course is another metaphor. It is representative of the death of the Multitude.
The Serpents take peace from the earth, proclaiming the entire time that there is peace. They are bringing peace to the earth according to them, but are in fact bringing mayhem. This is a reversal of the time of Christ when everyone was expecting Him to come and conquer. Christ did conquer; He conquered death at the cross, but it was not in the way that they expected and therefore the large majority missed it.
The Serpents bring war all the while proclaiming peace. And when they bring this war to the church, they never realize that they are the major players in the end time events. The large majority of the church; 2/3 to be exact are again going to miss it. Even Jesus tells us of what to expect. Don’t expect peace, expect division and death; the division of the church into thirds and death to the 1/3 of the church, the Multitude.
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: - Luke 12:51
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. - Matthew 10:34
Jesus tells us that there will be division and the sword. What happens when the Serpents and the Scorpions come to power? Babylon is divided. Ezekiel’s hair is divided. The Scorpions even divide within their own households, betraying family and relatives. And what happens to those that are betrayed into captivity? They die by the sword that is drawn out after them. What happens to a house or kingdom that is divided against itself? Jesus proclaimed that a kingdom and house that is divided against itself is brought to desolation and falls.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. - Luke 11:17
Revelation tells us that Babylon is fallen, is fallen. Why? Babylon is divided into thirds. The 2/3, the Scorpions and Serpents are united against the other 1/3, the Multitude. The Serpents are fallen and the Scorpions are fallen. The verse states that Babylon is fallen and then reiterates “is fallen.” These 2 groups, the Scorpions and the Serpents are both fallen as stated in that verse, and the house/kingdom falls when it is divided against itself and is brought to desolation. [1]
Let’s take a look at the concept of the peace that is preached to the end times church.
Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place. [14] Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
- Jeremiah 14:13, 14
The first clue is the word “Ah” which signifies the 5th trumpet. [2] The prophets lie when they say that the Multitude will not see the sword or famine, and there will be peace. In other words, there will not be peace, and they will see the sword and famine, for the Serpents take peace from the earth as the rider on the red horse. The Multitude will not die by famine, but they will be consumed by famine; which is the taking away of their possessions. No man may buy nor sell without the mark and the Multitude will not receive the mark. They will therefore suffer hunger by everything being stripped from them and then their eventual death.
All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him. - Obadiah 1:7
The “men of thy confederacy” is speaking about the Scorpions and the Serpents that the Multitude has gone to church with. The Scorpions and the Serpents have formed a confederacy between them. They were at peace with them, but they have deceived them by promising them peace when there is no peace. The confederacy of the Scorpions and Serpents is spoken about in Isaiah 28:15. The word confederacy means; a covenant, a league. [3] It is the same word used for covenant in Isaiah 28:15.
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: - Isaiah 28:15
Here are the two riders of the fourth horse, death and hell. This will be discussed further when we look at the fourth horsemen of the fourth seal. This verse is speaking about the Multitude who have hidden themselves from the truth by believing the lies.
The “men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee” are the Serpents and the Scorpions. The word prevailed means; overcome, have power. [4] The Scorpions have power. The Serpents have power. They overcome the Multitude. But in the end, the Multitude will overcome as the Overcomers of the seven churches.
And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment? [2] Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; [3] Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron. [4] Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings. [5] Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
[6] Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them. - Micah 3:1-6
The heads of Jacob and the princes of the houses of Israel are the prophets of the Lord that remove the skin and the flesh from the bones off of the Lord’s people. They eat the flesh and chop them into pieces. That’s a grotesque picture. But this is exactly what they do metaphorically. They cut them down and devour the Multitude, all the while crying “Peace” falsely as stated in verse 5. While they are crying “Peace,” they are preparing war against the Lord’s people, the Multitude. Notice that the sun goes down over the prophets and the day is dark over them, the sun is darkened while it is yet day.
She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD. - Jeremiah 15:9
This verse is speaking about “she” (The church) that has “borne” (Birthed) “seven” (The seven churches) languishes. (It is divided against itself and falls) She has given “up the ghost” (Died) and the sun goes down during the day. The day is dark over them as stated in Micah 3:1-5. The residue (Multitude) is delivered to the sword before their enemies. (Serpents and Scorpions)
The word bite used in verse 5 of Micah 3, “that bite with their teeth” has an interesting definition. It means; to strike with a sting (as a serpent). [5] In this one definition, there are both of the attributes of the Scorpions; to strike with a sting, and the Serpents; (as a serpent). Stephen, in Acts 7:54, was gnashed on with the teeth of those that murdered him. History repeats itself.
The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle. - Obadiah 1:1
In this verse we have an identification pertaining to Edom. Edom is comprised of the Edomites, who are the descendents of Esau. The ambassador is representative of the Serpents. Some of the definitions for ambassador are; messenger, pain, pang, sorrow. [6] Pain, pang, and sorrow are some of the definitions for ambassador? Yes, it is by their hand that they cause pain, sorrow, and the birth pangs of the Multitude. They rise up against the Multitude in battle all the while crying “Peace.”
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. - 1Thessalonians 5:3
Who says “Peace and safety?” The false prophets that come in the name of the Lord stating that the words they speak are from the Lord. Who does “sudden destruction” come upon? It comes upon the Multitude. It comes to them from the Serpents and the Scorpions. The Serpents bring the sorrow, the pain, and the pangs of the birthing of the Multitude as the man-child. The Serpents come to the Scorpions (heathen) as an ambassador and form a confederacy that begins the process of the cutting down of the Multitude.
How do the Serpents preach peace, yet they take peace from the earth? The Serpents will go after the Multitude claiming what they are doing is preserving peace. They will have the Multitude arrested and tried claiming that their actions are promoting peace and safety. All the while they are killing the true Jews, the spiritual Jew, the Multitude.
The Serpents come to the heathen. The heathen is representative of the Scorpions. A couple of the definitions of heathen is; Gentile, a flight of locusts. [7] This is a perfect match for the Scorpions who are described in the 5th trumpet as locusts with a scorpion’s tail. The Serpents and Scorpion are also the Gentiles that tread down the Multitude that are located in Jerusalem. [8]
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. [24] And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
[25] And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. - Daniel 8:23-25
And finally the king of fierce countenance that has power given to him by Satan himself. “Through his policy (intelligence) he shall cause craft to prosper” The word craft means; in the sense of deceiving; fraud, craft, deceitful, false, feigned, guile, subtilly, treachery. [9] The next under-definition means; specifically, to shoot; figuratively, to delude or betray (as if causing to fall), beguile, deceive. [10]
One of the definitions is to shoot. The Scorpions pierce with their arrows shot at the Multitude. There is also deceit involved here and also the word betray. These are all words associated with the Scorpions. But this king is definitely of the Serpents. How can this be?
Look at the how this verse states that “he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand.”
The king of the Serpents uses the Scorpions to betray and spy out the Multitude. The Serpents give the Scorpions reward for what they do. The word craft is speaking about the Scorpions. He causes the Scorpions to prosper by the rewards they are given for turning in the Multitude and the Scorpions are in his hand. They do the serpent’s bidding.
Another one of the definitions is betray (as if causing to fall). A verse about the Multitude comes to mind with these words.
And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. [34] Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. [35] And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. - Daniel 11:33-35
Those that understand among the people that instruct many are speaking about the 144,000 that teach the Multitude. The Multitude falls by the sword; the sword wielded by the second horseman. They also fall by flame; the fire of the first trumpet, the burning up of the 1/3 of the trees. They fall by captivity for they are taken into captivity. They fall by spoil for the spoil is the burning up of the green grass in the first trumpet, which are the possessions of the Multitude given to the Scorpions for their reward so they may prosper.
“And that they should kill one another” is what the rider on the red horse enacts. He takes peace from the earth, or more accurately, from the church. The four winds of the four trumpets are given to hurt the earth and the sea and the trees. As studied earlier, the earth, trees, and sea are signifying people. The peace that is taken from the earth is speaking about the peace that is taken from the people of the church; more specifically, the Multitude.
And the Serpents do kill one another. Not each other of their specific group, nor do they kill the Scorpions. They kill the Multitude who used to sit next to them in church. They are people that they know. They do kill one another. One, the Serpents, kill the other, the Multitude.
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 thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. - Revelation 6:3, 4
The rider upon the red horse is representative of the Serpents. They are given power to kill the Multitude (Take peace from the earth) and they will kill their previous brethren with the sword that the Lord sends out after the Multitude. Metaphorically this signifies their death. He does take peace from the earth with the great sword in his hand given to him by the Lord to fulfill His word.

The “men of thy confederacy” is speaking about the Scorpions and the Serpents that the Multitude has gone to church with. The Scorpions and the Serpents have formed a confederacy between them. They were at peace with them, but they have deceived them by promising them peace when there is no peace. The confederacy of the Scorpions and Serpents is spoken about in Isaiah 28:15. The word confederacy means; a covenant, a league. [3] It is the same word used for covenant in Isaiah 28:15.

The Serpents have power. They overcome the Multitude. But in the end, the Multitude will overcome as the Overcomers of the seven churches.
