The Black Horse: Deception, War, and Devastation in the Apocalypse

2. Welcome To Pastor Garry Clark’s PowerPoint presentation fromthe October 21st sermon: THE BLACK HORSE Information on ordering a DVD copy of this sermonwill be available at the end of this presentation

4. The word “Apocalypse”and the word “Revelation”mean thesame thing

5. to “Unveil” and “Reveal” things to come

6. The First Horseman of the apocalypse is the white horse, andI believe represents deception – specifically in the person and spirit of the Anti-Christ

7. Revelation 6:2And 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.

8. Through his charisma and ability, he will gain world recognition

9. Chaotic world conditions will call for sucha leader, and he will be propelled to the top

10. Under his leadership, he will bring what seems like real peace to the middle east

11. The second Horseman of the apocalypse is the red horse, which I believe represents dissension & war

12. Revelation 6:3-43 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.

13. Somewhere around the middle of the tribulation period, the “what seems like peace on the middle east” will be broken

14. And an open and unbelievable hostility will break out as never seen before

15. There should be no doubt among thinking people, about the possibility of an all out, catastrophic war as prophesiedin the Bible

16. It can and will happen, but when?

17. We don’t know, but Jesus said it this way… Matthew 24:3-83 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

18. We don’t know, but Jesus said it this way… Matthew 24:3-84 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

19. We don’t know, but Jesus said it this way… Matthew 24:3-86 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

20. We don’t know, but Jesus said it this way… Matthew 24:3-87 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

22. The third Horseman of the apocalypse is the black horse which I believe represents devastationand famine

24. Revelation 6:5-65 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

25. Revelation 6:5-66 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

26. As a result of the horrible bloodshed that takes place due to all the war, devastation naturally follows

27. This war will not only kill millions of men, women and children…

28. …but it will also destroy valuable farmlands and demolish manufacturing and merchandising businesses

29. These armies will kill people and devastate the economy

30. This is only natural…

31. A war torn society always faces shortages of water, food and other basic life necessities

32. Famine to us in the United States looks like mass starvation in remote, thirdworld countries

33. In thinking of famine, wesee small children with emaciated bodies, bloated bellies with skeletal bones protruding and flies buzzing around sullen, staring faces

34. In thinking of famine, wesee small children with emaciated bodies, bloated bellies with skeletal bones protruding and flies buzzing around sullen, staring faces

35. In thinking of famine, wesee small children with emaciated bodies, bloated bellies with skeletal bones protruding and flies buzzing around sullen, staring faces

36. It’s hard to look at very long!

37. What’s horribly sad, is that in many of these countries, there are often the powerful and elite group of rulers who hoard the nation’s wealth and resources, while sitting fat and happy as the masses perish!

39. FAMINEwe don’t know much about it

40. FAMINE FACTS There are 6.5 billion people in the world today

41. FAMINE FACTS Over 800 million are malnourished

42. FAMINE FACTS 16,500 children under the age of five, die every single day because of malnourishment!

43. FAMINE FACTS That is 688 children every hour!

44. FAMINE FACTS The numberone reason for hunger and malnourishmentis poverty

45. FAMINE FACTS More than one billion peoplelive on LESS THAN$i a day

46. FAMINE FACTS 60% ofthe world’s population lives on 5% of the world’s income

47. FAMINE FACTS The other 40%of the world’s population live on the remaining 95%

48. FAMINE FACTS That’s about4 billion people living on 5% and 2.5 billion living on 95%

49. There is already aFAMINE

50. Revelation 6:5-65 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
