The Scroll of Revelation 6

Now that we are undoubtedly in the biblical “end times,” God is giving further revelation concerning the meaning, purpose and importance of the scroll seen in Revelation 6, and it is central to nearly all of the following chapters. So it’s now time for serious review in context and for meaningful consideration of how it applies to the Church.

The Revelation 6 scroll is the mortgage scroll of the world and mankind, created when Adam and Eve sinned, and confirmed whenever anyone else sins, and we all have. Read Ruth 4 for parallels understanding of “the right of redemption” of that which is mortgaged, or in a certain sense, pawned. It’s important to understand as a mortgage is a legal document that has absolute requirements.

In Rev 6, there is writing within, writing on the outside, and 7 seals. The writing on the outside of a mortgage scroll conveys exactly what must be done and by whom to redeem what is inside whether it is about property or persons, ie, slaves.

In Ruth 3, we find that the outside of the mortgage scroll detailed valuable property that was mortgaged by Naomi’s husband and a familial “right of redemption.” In Naomi’s case, she did not have the money to redeem the property. Then the first person to have the “right of redemption,” basically a shirt-tail cousin, could not pay the price- he represents THE LAW. Consequently, the right of redemption was passed along to the next valid person, Boaz, who not only paid the established price to pay off the mortgage, but he did it out of love for Ruth, just as Jesus did for us in his death at Calvary.

We know that ONLY Jesus fulfilled the law by his sinless obedience and death, thus he fulfilled the law, however, here we are, stuck in a wicked world run by Satan and his Christ hating minions. Neither our life’s best intentions and efforts nor the blood of bulls and goats can pay the price written upon the Rev 6 mortgage scroll that Jesus takes into his hands. Because John saw that NOBODY was found worthy in heaven, earth or Hell, genocidal wept inconsolably. But John was told that Jesus IS worthy, and we know that a sinless blood sacrifice of a human being was the written price of redemption…and that is written on the outside of the Rev 6 scroll. Remember, until we are in Heaven, we are only saved PROVISIONALLY, and have to “work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Thus at the moment after the BRIDE/MANCHILD in Rev 12:10 is raptured, they say, “NOW is come salvation (for those who have been raptured), and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he whonaccuses them before our God day and night.” Also, the gift of the Holy Spirit, the indwelling of God himself within us which is evidenced by speaking in other tongues is the ERNEST (like a promissory note) of our inheritance. So again, for what and who is upon the earth, salvation is provisional and the things of this world must be “endured until the end” of one’s life. So the scroll applies to that which is not already redeemed after death, ie, eternal life in heaven, but it applies to what has been mortgaged in this life, and in this world.

What is written inside is the specific legal description of what is mortgaged. In the case of Naomi, it was valuable property. In Rev 6, it is mankind, an uncursed planet, our mortal bodies, longevity and “the world.” The opening of the scroll is significant and it is non-negotiable. It is followed to the letter, and as John noted in tears, there is no exceptions or alternatives to the written requirements.

God has never mortgaged planet earth- it’s his, as is the universe. But “the world” and all of it’s kingdoms were mortgaged (pawned) for the pleasures of sin, and later legitimately offered to Jesus by Satan because mankind’s SIN legally made Satan the “god of this world” to whom everything was mortgaged. Hence it was Satan’s to offer- except Jesus wasn’t buying the half-truth nor the discounted fire-sale price, because he knew there is far more to be redeemed than just “the world.” Right now there are 8 billion souls on earth and probably at least that many learning to be 100% accountable and 100% repentant in hell…where the blood of Jesus is still available for cleansing. Yes, really. God is patient and long suffering, not willing that ANY should perish, but his desire is that all men everywhere come to repentance, obedience, and sin-cleansed fellowship with him. Satan is fighting all of this in God’s courtroom in heaven as “the accuser of the brethren- making the legal argument that the exact conditions for opening the seals and redeeming nankind cannot be met because WE ARE ALL STILL SINNING EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Jesus, our advocate (defense attorney) with the Father (THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE), will soon be judged worthy to redeem all that is inside the scroll, including those who are truly and completely repentant and believing in him by faith. That “God’s grace is sufficient for us,” until we truly repent. Consequently, five seals later when the righteous are caught up, the Judge has made his decision: If found worthy, we are saved and raptured into heaven. No more court arguments and the devil is cast out of court and heaven, down to the earth to try “those who are sometimes disobedient at the time of the great tribulation. Thus “Woe to the inhabitants of the earth,” millions of whom are Christians who find themselves vomited out of Jesus’ mouth and into THE REFINING FIRE OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION WHERE THEY CAN BUY GOLD (Godliness), Clothes of REAL righteousness to replace their self-righteous fig leaves, and eye salve to heal and open their blind, deceived eyes.

Thus Jesus has the right of redemption, and he has had it for 2,000 years. However, God has been waiting for the harvest to be ready, and now we are on the “home stretch,” but it is going to be very difficult from now until we arrive in heaven, either dead, martyred or raptured. Right now it is time for those seals to be opened. Those seals will cause the church to be exposed, judged, corrected and refined to purity and holiness IN THOSE WHO ARE WILLING. “Peter, do you AGAPE me UNTO DEATH or are we just FILO buddies?”

The first 5 seals affect everyone world wide. However, “judgment begins at the house of God.” Therefore, as those who would be saints and a unified, holy kingdom and priests unto our God, we must focus upon each of those 5 seals that are stacks of sin IN THE PHILADELPHIA MANCHILD BRIDE CHURCH, and REPENT of the horrific sins BY ENDURING THEIR EARTHLY CONSEQUENCES AS GOOD SOLDIERS OF THE CROSS. This will be a cleansing like no other…”fuller’s soap” (lye) and what will feel like a wire brush. While some sins are “not unto death,” all sins demand repentance or judgment, and the sins that mortgaged mankind demand the shedding of the innocent blood of God’s only begotten son. If we don’t completely and faithfully embrace that 24/7 in all we fail in, we will be joining the 8+ billion in Hell learning a very painful lesson in 100% accountability.

In other words, the Rev 6 scroll cannot be opened unless someone who is sinless does it, and in opening each seal, that person will be proving that they paid off the mortgage price of each of those seals that mortgaged mankind via sin AND they are 100% committed to holding those being redeemed 100% accountable. Thus we need to clearly understand our need to absolutely repent of all sin. Our “fate” is SEALED without the rightful heir paying the price of the lawful mortgage redemption. That’s cause for tough love over sin…tougher than mankind has ever been held accountable for. Thank God Jesus paid that price. Let us live every moment accordingly.

In Ruth, the first person with the right of redemption represents the old covenant, ie, the LAW. It couldn’t redeem us. It took sinless Jesus’ crucifiction, bearing our sins to qualify as the legal redeemer to redeem the property listed in the Rev 6th scroll- which we see in Revelation 20, 21 and 22.

Note that this scroll is “all or nothing,” and there will be no millennium reign of Jesus and the saints until the price of all 7 seals is judged as paid in full in the blood of Jesus. So we must hang on for the cleansing ride because the consequences for the sins in this world have filled the storehouse of accountability before God to overflowing. The bride of Christ will be without spot, wrinkle or any such thing, and she is one of the things written in the scroll- and by far the most valuable TO HIM.

The seals:

1) The white horse and rider with a bow:

World government (the present 7th head of the beast and it’s short lived replacement, the 8th head) that by nature is antichrist, but not “THE ANTICHRIST” of 2 Thess 2. The rider is a spirit pushing a spiritual condition, not a man. It demands independence from and rejection of Jesus as savior in ALL things. Now, it’s time to be blunt: Satan is the God of this world and that attitude is rampant in the church. If you disagree, you haven’t spent anywhere near enough time before God’s throne to be convicted of your sins of denial and delusion. “You shall have no other God’s before me,” but we do. Nothing is hidden from God and he’s not taking shortcuts or winking at sin, and yet we are defiant rather than repentant. Complete confession, accountability, brokenness, humility and actual repentance, ie, turning from sin and “sin no more” is required for this, and for each additional seal to be fully broken. We must truly be genuinely “born again” in EVERYTHING or we have no hope of ever escaping from the deception of living in the grasp of this first seal. Love of this world is enmity with God, period.

2) Red war horse, ridden by a spirit of deception, arrogance, wars and rumors of wars. When we love power exercised through endless wars of the flesh, threats of violence and “regime change,” etc, instead of worshipping the prince of peace, we are worshipping this wicked, genocidal rider. The word of God warns, “When they shall say peace and safety, sudden destruction will come upon them,” so we can’t “win” true peace and safety by taking this deadly route to God. He despises it because it is filled with lies and the promotion of the shedding of innocent blood without consequence. That’s how this world is run by the so-called “military-industrial complex,” along with bankers, investors, security corporations and their political sycophants who are also enriched by being in bed with them. Ever notice how the war-mongering tyrants and “leaders” never run out of enemies for you to hate and for you to pay for killing? Are they leading? No. They are grandstanding with not one shred of honesty or moral fiber. That’s their plan and their M.O. The church is in for a rude awakening over their “conservative Christian” and barbaric “patriotic” values because those values are not the values of Jesus Christ. That war horse and it’s rider are in the church today. Most church goers think they are rapture ready just because they are saved, yet their garments are soaked in innocent blood for advocating killing in contrived wars, and they cheer for genocide and the extra-judicial slaughter of “their enemies” whom Jesus died for. Isn’t being part of his returning army upon horses to rule and reign with a rod of iron with and like Christ enough?

3) Black horse of scarcity and hyperinflation. This spirit has an agenda of spreading a gospel of geed, debt, recklessness, irresponsible spending and outright looting that causes hyperinflation leading to severe lack, while enriching a few who want to own the human race and the planet, which they do in Rev 13. Who do you think is owed $4 quadrillion in world-wide debt? Who is going to repay it? The “group of ten” plus number 11, the proud antichrist of Dan 7 will be the “ten kings/ten horns” who own EVERYTHING during the tribulation, and they will use AI to establish the “mark of the beast” at that time. Remember the World Economic Forum’s slogan, “you will own nothing and you will be happy?” Said another way it is, “You are a slave and if you so much as refuse, you will be beheaded.” That’s coming during the 1,260 day GREAT Tribulation on the saints per Revelation 13. Will the church share with one another who are in great need or will they selfishly tell their brothers, sisters, friends and neighbors to go live on the street and starve or take the mark? “Though I give my body to be burned and have not AGAPE…even unto death…I am nothing but hot air and obnoxious, narcissistic noise.”

4) A putrid, rotten horse, carrying a spirit of death and Hell. Selfish, murderous, controlling, demon that loves death and will likely cause the deaths of ¼ of mankind: that’s 2 BILLION people. This thing reeks of socialism and the resulting needless death by various means. Government sponsored plagues, famines, sickness, wars, etc. It will be a manifestation of the love of death as long as it’s “our enemies” because “we are good but they are bad.” Give them your extra coat. Feed and house them like the good Samaritan.

5) No more horses. This is obviously and strictly about the pre-rapture, pre-tribulation consequences of loving one’s life to the point of idolatry and obnoxious narcissism that provokes the lost to kill Christians, and then going even futher by demanding God’s retribution against their killers instead of demanding his mercy and forgiveness for ones enemies. Nowhere in Revelation does it say that God answers that selfish prayer of self-righteous retaliation upon the living. These martyred saints have the wrong attitude, and as a result they have to wait for their brethren, the innumerable number of saints seen in Rev 7 who are killed in the 1,260 days of tribulation upon the saints who miss the rapture, who did NOT get ready as a bride adorned for her husband. What attitude are they supposed to have? “And they overcame by the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony and they loved not their lives even unto death.” Why demand retribution from God in this wicked world that isnt even worth living in? Dead saints still consumed with selfishness instead of salvation…that not one soul would be lost.

If found worthy, those saints who are right with God through these first 5 judgments upon major sin will be raptured per Revelation 12, even if they have to be raised from the dead first. Those who are not found worthy will find themselves brutally martyred in the 6th seal/revelation 13. They should already know that life doesn’t revolve around them, but like is shown in Rev 4 just before the opening of the seals, it revolves exclusively around Jesus.

6) This seal is the sins and the consequences for being the Church of Laodicea/luke warm saints who miss the Rev 12 rapture and are stuck between the rapture and God’s wrath in the 1,260 day GREAT TRIBULATION UPON THE SAINTS. They will all be killed per Rev 7, or they will become apostate, even committing blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and will enter the wrath of God/7th seal. This is a period of refinement and correction unto death through extreme hardship and zero hope in this world. The consequences of this seal are enormous, and like hell, the accountability is 100%. You cannot run, you cannot hide, and you cannot survive without the mark, and you will be hunted like a rabid animal and put to death when caught. Once proven to be “faithful unto death,” they will receive “a crown of life.” If worthy, they will be raised from the dead as one of the two witnesses (144,000 jews or countless gentiles) and caught up. That is the SECOND Rapture of saints.

7) Not described in chapter 6. It’s the 1,335 days of the wrath of God against those who flatly reject him and his lordship. The latter part of the 1,335 days (Daniel 12) includes the return of Jesus between day 1,290 and 1,335. God won’t reveal the day or the hour, but it’s obviously between those exact days. Armageddon will be raging, and the antichrist AI that controls the world through total surveillance and the mark, name or number of it’s name will declare that it is “god” in people’s hearts. No other temple is needed or wanted. The All who oppose Jesus Christ’s rightfully redeemed and established world order via opening all 7 seals will be killed by the brightness of his coming. The repentant who have been sealed through salvation, repentance and obedience who endure until the end to repopulate the earth.

This seal is the last judgment to remove all that which is opposed to Jesus ruling and reigning for 1,000 years with his saints who returned with him at his second coming. The seals are all broken at this point which establishes His absolute authority and that is what establishes HIS “right of return” to redeem that which he paid for with his own blood.
