CHAPTER 4.2
The Fourth Seal (Part 2: Hades) – The Antichrist’s Shadow
Revelation 6:7-8 (NASB): "When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come!” I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and the one who sat on it had the name Death, and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, and famine, and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.”
The Pale Horse Unleashed
Fourth seal cracks—bam!—out lurches a pale horse, chloros, green like rot. Two riders, one beast: Death, eyeless, scythe slashing flesh; Hades, jaws wide, gulping souls. Satan’s forked shadow—twin bastards tearing a fourth of the earth to shreds.
End-times clowns peddle their crap—one Antichrist, one big war? Bullshit. Kid’s bedtime story. Revelation 6:8 spits it: two riders—Death hacks with sword, famine, plague; Hades snags souls, pit’s boss (Rev 20:14—Hades coughed up its dead). Ain’t some future ghost—pulse kicked off at Eden’s snap. Cain smashed Abel—Death’s first hit. Real kicker? Hades tagged along—branded Cain’s crew with rebellion, twisting ‘em into corruption’s blades. Rome’s fires (64 CE) didn’t just toast flesh—Hades got a throne, spawned a machine that chows truth and crowns lies.
Sword guts nations. Famine starves the broke. Plague chokes the air. Beasts rip—not just fangs, but tongues. Lies, slander, fake-ass tales shred names. Asia’s words cut souls deep; Middle East swings steel. No solo act—a fuckin’ system. Satan’s twin riders slam hard—flesh drops, spirits sink. August 9, 2013, ripped the mask off—elect flinched, church cracked, chaos roared. Seal don’t sleep—it hunts.
Reflection: Hooves pounded since Cain—still banking on “later”?
Takeaway: SEAL 4 growls—Death and Hades ride; chaos rules, no rest.
Church as Babylon
Revelation 2-3’s letters—to “angels,” not flesh (Rev 2:1)—clue one: ain’t John’s gig; coded for a future crew. Seven candlesticks, not one lone lamp (Rev 1:12 vs. Ex 25:31)—clue two: seven churches mash into one flock, split by beef. Names slam together—Balaam, Jezebel, Antipas, synagogues, churches—Old and New bleed into Zion’s endgame call, not some shit John knew. Seven Spirits, one voice—Lamb with seven horns, seven eyes (Rev 5:6)—Christ’s power and sight, forged tight. Like Pharaoh’s dreams begging a Daniel, these riddles stash keys for a sharp-eye.
“Balaam” sold out (Num 22:7)—church booted the ass that saved it; “Jezebel” slit prophets’ throats, gripped power (1 Kings 21:25)—pulpits choke the real ones. “Food to idols” (Rev 2:14, 20)—not steak, but poison; Paul shrugged it (1 Cor 8:4), here it’s Trinity’s kink. History’s a bitch—Constantine’s deal (313 CE)—crosses ain’t crowns; Theodosius’ law (380 CE)—blood drowned faith; Schism (1054 CE), Reformation (1517 CE)—Babylon locked in, full tilt.
Revelation 18:4 yells: “Get the hell out!”—no “maybe.” Stuck, sucking devil’s teat (John 8:44)—Pharisees 2.0—the church rots, a silk-draped stiff. City Harvest winks—mega-rot in Asia’s Bride. Ain’t just death—truth’s stranglin’.
Reflection: Church shines—where’s Calvary’s bite?
Takeaway: SEAL 4 bares—church spawns Babylon; betrayal reigns.
The Elect’s Defiance
August 9, 2013, the elect—seal-bearers—saw the fourth seal crack, a call blazing: stand, bleed, shout it from rooftops (Matt 10:27). Most froze. Smirking—“Hell’s a myth”—they dodged fire, clutched Eve’s fruit—rebellion’s juice sweeter than truth (Gen 3:6). “God needs us,” they crowed, hoarding seals like loot, heaven begging at their feet. Revelation 10:4 hisses: “Seal up the seven thunders’ words”—truths locked, waiting. Matthew 25:5 groans: “Bridegroom tarried, they slept”—time warped by their slack. Matthew 24:24 warned it: “False christs and prophets deceive even the elect, if possible”—pride dug their pit, smug hands sinking most. By 2023, I—last witness—saw it: two resurrections loom (Rev 20:6, 12-13), two wounds—pride’s gash, deception’s stab—under one master, Satan’s claw.
A remnant holds—they can’t be fooled. “If possible” (Matt 24:24)—it ain’t. Few gripped the seals when others ditched ‘em, hunted by the beast’s snarl, unbowed. August 2013 wasn’t a trip—it was a sift. Proud toppled, clutching fables—hell’s no threat, God’s a pushover; seal-bearers stood, bloodied by truth’s load. Revelation 7:3 brands ‘em—foreheads sealed, not for show, but grit. Time ticks—borrowed days run thin.
Reflection: Elect faltered—pride buries, defiance bleeds; where you at?
Takeaway: SEAL 4 cuts—2013 sifted; remnant stands, time twists.
Many Faces of the Antichrist
One Antichrist? Too tidy. Too weak. John spat it: “Many antichrists” (1 John 2:18)—Satan don’t wear one face. Revelation’s beast bares two fangs—political, religious. Daniel’s endgame—chapters 7-12—unfurls it: beasts stalk (Dan 7), horns sprout (Dan 8), kings scheme (Dan 11), deliverance dawns (Dan 12)—not just a crowned Messiah, but a war grinding flesh and soul. Daniel 11:21 growls: “A vile one seizes by intrigue”—Middle East’s predator, political, gorging on war, power, famine. Daniel 8:9 snarls: “A little horn grew great”—Asia’s creep, religious, poisoning the Bride, twisting heirs into lie-slaves.
Revelation 13:1-2 ain’t a lone freak—it’s a machine: “Beast with ten horns, seven heads, dragon-fed.” Rome crashed—its ghost slithered into Europe’s church-state rot, slicing with steel and dogma. Last days? Two riders, one force—Satan splits the kill. Middle East chews flesh; Asia chokes truth. Political hacks bodies; religious damns souls. Twin antichrists, one throne—Satan’s shadow since 2013’s crack.
Reflection: Two fangs bite—spotted ‘em yet?
Takeaway: SEAL 4 bares—one beast, two heads; flesh bleeds, spirits chain.
The Beasts in Daniel and Revelation
History’s antichrists—shadows on a wheel—cycle like vultures, but Daniel’s four ain’t just echoes; they’re Revelation’s beast, fused and snarling. Revelation 13:1-2 spits it: one beast, four marks—ten horns, leopard, bear, lion—mirroring Daniel 7:3-8’s quartet: lion, bear, leopard, ten-horned terror. This ain’t vague poetry; Revelation’s a blade, slicing open Messiah’s return, New Jerusalem, two resurrections—specific as Paul’s church letters, not some hazy riddle.
Daniel 7 shifts hard—third heaven’s throne blazes, Ancient of Days judges, books crack open (v. 9-10). Four beasts, four kings—the fourth grips ten rulers, an eleventh spewing pompous trash (v. 8, 25), toppling three (v. 24). Court burns; beast dies, three linger, stripped but breathing (v. 12, 26). Antichrist spirit festers in the elect—four faces, one shadow, clawing in 2013. History spins, but this ain’t repetition; it’s the seal’s fuse, lit and hissing.
Reflection: Pegged beasts to old tyrants? They’re one—stalking the seals’ edge.
Takeaway: SEAL 4 fuses—four beasts, one claw; dominion’s end creeps close.
Messiah in Scripture: A Man Who Shall Be Cut Off
Daniel 9 guts the “Messiah” myth—not a man, an oil, smeared on flesh for God’s dirty work. Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers—each a drip of the same sauce. “Messiah the Prince” (Dan 9:25) stands odd—rare, anointed, but no crown. Like Jesus, he’s “cut off” (v. 26)—bled out, not victorious in Daniel’s 9. Scholars dodge it—Christ don’t return to lose, they say; he storms back roaring (Rev 19:11-16). Bullshit lens. “End with a flood” (v. 26)—no water chased Christ’s cross. It’s Noah’s echo (Matt 24:37-41)—second coming’s “deluge”, not the first. This ain’t Jesus; it’s another anointed, hacked down. Who?
Literalists choke on it—expecting a king, not a corpse. Scripture’s deeper—metaphor, not a playbook. Flood’s coming; this Messiah’s blood stains the seals first.
Reflection: Bought the conqueror’s tale? Messiah bleeds before he breaks.
Takeaway: SEAL 4 bends—Messiah’s cut, cycles turn; truth’s no straight line.
Resolving Scriptural Contradictions
No earthly throne for Christ—Bible don’t peddle that lie. Misreads spawn lie: rapture splits, flat-earth clowns, 6,000-year cages. Revelation’s beasts, dragons, cosmic flare—metaphors, not newsreels. John the Baptist heralded Christ’s first swing (Matt 3:1-3); his twin rides before the second—Rev 19:11-16’s white horse ain’t Jesus—it’s John’s ghost, a new donkey—transformed into horse, charging ahead of the rapture’s snap. Jesus rides it, unseen—focus is the steed. Yet, the oil flows from its master.
“Flood” hits (Matt 24:37-39)—wheat splits from tares, righteous snatched (Matt 24:40-41), leftovers gape at their fuck-up. Peace flickers post-rapture—brief, brittle—then cycles spin anew. History loops, but God’s no rerun; each age carves fresh, ‘til the last resurrection (Rev 20:12-13). Literalists built a house of cards—rapture’s no jet-pack escape, it’s a sifting fire. Scripture’s a mirror—a map—but without the compass, miss that, you’re blind.
Reflection: Clinging to a king’s crown? Flood’s metaphor—John’s horse kicks first.
Takeaway: SEAL 4 cracks—rapture sifts, cycles grind; truth’s veiled ‘til it burns.
Endurance Over Deception
This ain’t fists—it’s grit. Satan doesn’t fight the church head-on—he’s enthroned there (Rev. 2:13—“Satan’s throne”), pulling strings. August 9, 2013, was stand-or-bow—seals cracked, elect wavered. Revelation 10:4 recoils, “Seal up the thunders’ words”—truths locked ‘til thunder rolls; Matthew 25:5 sighs, “Bridegroom tarried”—delay’s ours, not His. Isaiah 11:6 hums, “Wolf beds lamb”—peace looms, forged hard (Micah 4:3—“swords to plowshares”). But Matthew 10:34 slashes, “I came not to bring peace, but a sword”—truth tests and sifts, not cuddly at first (Rev. 19:15—“sword from His mouth”). Nineveh turned (Jonah 3:10)—spared; Jerusalem scorned (Matt. 23:37)—burned. One repented, one resisted—fate followed choice.
Revelation 13:16-17 warns—the mark ain’t a chip or tattoo; it’s allegiance to lies, blinding minds. Satan rules from pulpits—Pharisees nailed Christ in God’s name (John 19:7); Inquisition torched dissenters, calling it faith. Today’s gospel binds—salvation’s a deal, not a breaking free (John 8:32—“truth will set you free”). The beast’s system doesn’t need barcodes—take its mind, you’re marked, trading truth for silk-wrapped rot. Matthew 10:42 nudges, “A cup to the least”—mercy cracks the lie. “Stand and heal, or dodge and burn in life’s wheel”—endurance beats deception. In the Middle East, blood spills; in Asia, words cut deep—two Antichrists, one test. Burn away the fake—truth ain’t comfy; it’s fire, refining or consuming, no middle ground.
Reflection: Peace or sword—standing through the lie?
Takeaway: SEAL 4 forks: Endure truth, bow to rot—deception tests now.
The Two Antichrists: One in the Church, One in Israel
Daniel 11 snarls it—a Northern Kingdom, Persia’s claw, defiles the sanctuary, axes daily sacrifices. Daniel 8 doubles down—Greece mirrors the rot. No clash; these are twin antichrists. One burrows in the church—wars on true sons and daughters, spiritual heirs bleeding out. The other hunts Israel—crushes its real lineage while fakes sprout smug. Daniel wrestled it, mind reeling (Dan 12:8), ‘til the angel snapped: “Seal it ‘til the end” (v. 9). August 9, 2013, the seal split—two riders, Death and Hades, forked Satan’s kill. Church chokes on lies; Israel drowns in blood.
1. Ram and Male Goat: In Asia
Daniel 8 bares fangs—a ram, two horns, one high—two souls in Christ’s body, grit holding fast. A male goat storms in—horn like a spike—smashes the ram flat (Dan 8:6-7). Matt 25:31-46 cuts it open: ram’s sheep serve raw—feed the starved, clothe the bare, mercy for the least—elachiston. Goat struts hollow—faith a sham, stomping the weak with pride. Sanctuary’s the Bride—Christ’s flesh—sacrifices are worship, pure fire. “Casting truth to the ground” (Dan 8:12)—goat’s mark, wisdom shredded. Media and Persia? Shadows—crack Babylon’s spine, that Revelation rot (Rev 17-19).
Revelation 13:11’s beast slinks out—lamb’s mask, dragon’s growl—goat’s twin. It splits the church—doctrinal knives, fake truth peddled high. Asia’s pulpits twist since 2013—wealth drowns worship, prophets gagged in silk. Babylon’s core—Pharisees reborn—nailed Jesus (John 19:7), now damn His own. False prophet rises—pride’s fuel, division’s blade. The pale horse rides—Death hacks, Hades gulps—truth’s defenders bleed under Asia’s hoof.
Reflection: Ram or goat—serving the least or slashing truth?
Takeaway: SEAL 4 claws—church splits; flesh and spirit bleed.

2. Northern and Southern Kingdoms: In Israel
Daniel 11 maps it—North and South, Persia and Greece, then Syria and Egypt—wars scar, world didn’t end. “While Antiochus IV's actions are seen as a historical fulfillment of the "abomination of desolation," the term "Antichrist" typically has a broader, more eschatological meaning, referring to a future figure who will oppose Christ and his kingdom. Explained earlier section.) Jesus tagged it cyclic: “Abomination of desolation…” (Matt 24:15)—prophecy loops, hits blind. Signs stack: fake messiahs lie, wars roar, nations claw, famines bite, quakes crack—birth pangs spike (Matt 24:6-8). Righteous hunted—betrayal stabs, hate festers, false prophets swarm, love dies (v. 9-12). Gospel pierces all (v. 14)—then sky splits: “Sun darkens…” (v. 29), Son of Man storms in, glory blazing (v. 31), rapture snatches the elect.
First, the “sign” (v. 30)—Rev 19:1-3’s white horse flares, rider veiled, harvest’s horn. Past antichrists—Nero, Rome—flopped the list. Now, 2025, since 2013’s crack—wars gut 2.1 million (Syria, Yemen, Ukraine), famines starve 828 million, quakes bury 59k (Turkey-Syria ’23). Pale horse reigns—sword, plague, beasts—North and South churn Israel’s dirt, fire stoking the end. Hooves thunder close.
Reflection: Blood’s toll—paying yet?
Takeaway: SEAL 4 bleeds—war ends it; righteous rise, wicked burn.

Wheat Against Tares: Wheat Rises at Harvest
Wars hit the wall—Middle East’s antichrist drops, no savior (Dan 11:45), age cracks. Dan 12:1-3 roars—“Trouble’s time”—Michael stands, Book opens, rapture takes the named, Daniel rises (v. 13). Cain’s ghost stains it—slew Abel for a better gift (Gen 4:4-8)—false hunts true. Jesus spat it: “Master’s called Beelzebub—house gets worse” (Matt 10:25)—persecution’s seal. Since 2013—wars pile 2.1 million dead, COVID reaps 20 million by ’25, famine starves 43k—tares choke, pride swells.
But it breaks—“Blessed who waits, hits 1,335 days” (Dan 12:12)—grit wins. Truth holds. Rapture cuts—righteous “shine like stars” (v. 3), leftovers taste ash, error bitter. God backs His—Job bled, Enoch paid (Ch. 6), all called bleed too. James 1:2-4 growls: “Joy in it”—fire forges, crown waits. Pale horse charges—Death and Hades reap—wheat stands, tares torch, harvest splits clean.
Reflection: Tares rising—enduring ‘til the sift?
Takeaway: SEAL 4 rips—wheat glows, tares fall; patience seals the cut.
Conclusion: Seals Cry Out
Seven seals split—seven roars. Death and Hades charge—Satan’s twin claws rip: Middle East fangs flesh; Asia’s Bride chokes in Babylon’s grip. The elect’s 2013 dodge bent time—remnant, like Joshua, stalled the sun (Josh 10:12-14)—borrowed days tick out, a sore thumb bleeding dry. “Synagogue of Satan” (Rev 2:9)—evil cloaked as church, Harlot swinging silk blades. Two antichrists stalk—political bleeds power, religious rots truth—pride fuels, defiance fights. “Sword before stillness” (Matt 10:34)—pale horse grinds, peace waits.
No fake sheep graze—truth’s fire burns or refines. Revelation 6:8’s riders don’t stop—sword, famine, plague, slander shred wide. Elect froze in ’13—slumber with pew-warmers; remnant stands, seals tight, shouting thunders’ secrets (Rev 10:4), bending time’s arc. Defiance delayed—not forever. Matthew 24:13 snarls: “Endure, saved”—stand or dust. Babylon flops (Rev 18:2); Zion climbs (Isa 2:2). Horse don’t wait—seals scream, lies can’t drown ‘em.
Reflection: Seals howl—deaf yet?
Takeaway: SEAL 4 rages—riders rule, truth cuts; stand or burn.
