3rd seal of revelation

(Deists believe in a Supreme Being, but they deny the Bible is inspired and their view of God is contrary to the Bible.)

These events include a great earthquake, the darkening of the sun, the falling of the stars, and Jesus’ appearing, in this order. The idea, then, in the passage before us, would seem to be:a pair of balances—the symbol of scarcity of provisions, the bread being doled out by weight.I heard the third beast say, come and see; this living creature was that which was like a man, who was on the south side of the throne, as the standard of Reuben, which had the figure of a man, was on the south side of the camp of Israel; this was not the Apostle Paul, as Grotius thinks, to whom was made a prophecy of a famine in the days of Claudius Caesar; nor Tertullian, who made an apology for the Christians in the times of this seal, as Brightman conjectures; but the ministers of the Gospel, whose voice was neither the voice of the lion nor of the ox, but of a man, which was still lower, but yet they retained their humanity, reasoning prudence, and wisdom; and these are represented as calling upon John to come and see, and take notice of the following hieroglyphic: and I beheld, and lo a black horse; an emblem either of the afflicted state of the church, still answering to the Smyrnaean one, being black with persecutions, schisms, errors, and heresies, which were many; or particularly of the heresies and heretics of those times, who might be compared to a horse for their pride and ambition, speaking great swelling words of vanity, and to a black one, for their hidden things of dishonesty, and works of darkness, for the darkness in themselves, and which they spread over others; or rather of a famine, not in a spiritual sense, of hearing of the word, but in a literal sense; see and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand; by whom is meant not some noted heretic, or heretics, who had balances of deceit in their hands to prove their tenets by, such as spurious writings, &c. or who made pretensions to the Scriptures, the balance of the sanctuary, to weigh doctrines in; nor Christ, whose name heretics shrouded themselves under, and professed, and who overruled and made use of their heresies for the good of his people, that they might be made manifest.

They also lost God’s righteousness which they wore (as garments of light). The balance was commonly the symbol of equity and justice; but it was also, sometimes, the symbol of exaction and oppression, as in (d) The proclamation: And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say. This annual process in the earthly temple points forward to a day when Jesus will transfer the saint’s guilt to Lucifer’s head.

The story began on a Sunday morning in 1816, when the Holy Spirit changed the heart of William Miller. It was truth before it was believed.

This proclamation of "a measure of wheat for a penny" was heard either as addressed to the horseman, as a rule of action for him, or as addressed by the horseman as he went forth. So Virgil speaks of fear as black: "atrumque timorem" (Aen. The churches were isolated and had no electronic communication, so ministers in some areas could accept Miller’s views without causing a problem for the Baptist denomination in general. That night, New England experienced the most remarkable meteoric shower people had ever witnessed. I may not know it. The word rendered "penny," δηναρίον dēnarion - Latin, denarius - was of the same value as the Greek δραχμή drachmē, and was equivalent to about fourteen cents or seven-pence (circa mid-19th century). 619). The animals even came in from the field around noon because of the darkness. The Holy Spirit found a willing man in William Miller in 1816 and the Spirit empowered Miller for 15 years to proclaim a Bible truth whose time had come. Jesus needs to “cleanse” the temple in Heaven of the record of sin because Heaven’s temple operates as “a holding tank” for sin.

People moved away from the farmlands into the cities, where they would suffer from the famine.Historian Arther Ferrill agrees with other Roman historians such as A.H.M. At the height of Miller’s ministry, historians calculate the Millerites (as his followers were often called) numbered between fifty and one hundred thousand people.

At Solomon's death in 975 B.C. I didn’t have the knowledge of the scales and the prices. Truth goes beyond the church, it is antecedent to it.” (When a Man Dies, Carlyle B. Haynes (1882-1958); p.5)Finally, Jesus broke the third seal in 1844. I have no doubt that Jesus will resurrect him with the righteous at the Second Coming.

Please consider the following statement to appreciate how this works: God does not forgive sin, but He has a method whereby sinners can be freed from sin’s guilt and sinners can receive Christ’s righteousness. If the former is the meaning, it would be an appropriate address to one who was going forth to collect tribute - with reference to the exact manner in which this tribute was to be collected, implying some sort of severity of exaction; or to one who should distribute wheat and barley out of the public granaries at an advanced price, indicating scarcity. So, God designed a skit, a set of processes that people could view and study, which would allow finite beings to understand His ways.
