The seals
One – 3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. (Genesis 1:3)
Light, but the sun, moon, and stars do not come until day four. God is light, and His appearance illuminates. The first seal is a rider on a white horse with a bow, or covenant, and is going out to conquer. I believe this is a representative of Jesus, possibly Moses.
Two – 6 Then God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” (Genesis 1:6)
The second seal is a red horse with a rider that takes peace from the earth and causes war, or division between the people, or waters.
Three – 9 Then God said, “Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. (Genesis 1:9)
The third seal is a rider on a black horse who brings famine on the wheat and barley but doesn’t harm the oil and wine. The liquids or waters are in one place, unharmed. The fruit of the dry ground is withering away as opposed to bringing forth abundant vegetation.
Four – 14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. (Genesis 1:14-15)
The fourth seal is a pale green horse with Death riding and Hades following. These are things that come for all mankind and all in their own time. Like stars showing the seasons and times, so does sickness, the pale green horse, shows death is coming.
Five – 20 Then God said, “Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.” (Genesis 1:20)
The fifth seal is martyrs crying out how long till their blood is avenged. When Jesus returns the blood will be up to the horses’ bridle. “Creatures in the ‘waters’”
Six – 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” (Genesis 1:26)
The sixth seal is back to the fall of man, but this time mankind has help. However, the result is still the same, panic while people search for something to cover them from the wrath of God.
