Thanks for your thought Remo, and I understand your frustration. Hardly any are willing to discuss the difficult passages and when they do the means they use are typically faulty.

Here's how I've been shone. He promised to teach us through His word per John 6:45 so that's where we should place our trust and not that of anyone else's opinion and that includes mine.
Searching out terms found in the Rev used elsewhere in Scripture is the only objective way to define the figurative language used in Scripture. Otherwise we are tossing guesses and that's subjective in itself. God said He used figurative language.

Hosea 12:10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and *used similitudes*, by the ministry of the prophets.

Siniltudes are figurative comparisons.

Matt 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and *without a parable spake he not unto them:*

Parables are figurative comparisons.

1 cor 2 :13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; *comparing spiritual things with spiritual*.

We are to compare spiritual with Spiritual per Paul, which I understand to be comparing Scripture with Scripture which leads to Scripture interpreting

The patience is opposite of self righteous works of the law hence "no rest".

Isaiah 28:13-14 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little...

The rest from the works of the law, the refreshing, is simply to love God(Deut. 6:5) which is the outworking of faith. The just shall live by faith.

Cont.

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Another mention.

Rom 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

Paul asked in Galatians...This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Isa 48:17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; *I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit*, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea.

Now compare verse 18 from Isaiah with the verse 12 believers of ch 14 of Rev.

Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The patience is opposite of self righteous works of the la

Hi Remo,
Here's some thoughts on the mark.

1 Tim 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Interpreted in the spiritual language of God: ‘The love of works of self righteousness is the root of all evil.’

In 2 Cor 4:4 the light of the glorious gospel of Christ is said to be the image of God. So the image of the beast would necessarily be just the opposite.

In Romans 1:23 we see the same comparison. " changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man."

Here are two cross references of the same.

Psalm 106:19They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
20Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

Jer. 2:11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.

Their self righteous works of the law was their treasure.

Isa 57:12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.

Do not profit. Profit is a term used in currency but what is the currency in God's economy?

Righteousness(Faith).

LUKE 16:3 No servant can serve two maste

Hey Reno, I appreciate the honest feedback. I admit that was a poor example on my part so lets look at what is obvious concerning the black horse.

The rider of the black horse is said to have a pair of balances in his hand. What does that mean? Balances are a means to measure. But what are they measuring? Righteousness.

In Micah 6 we see there are unjust balances spoken of which are used by the wicked which at the end of the chapter are defined for us and also the means by which they used to justify.

Micah 6:16 "For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels".

This isn't the end of the trail but does that make sense?

The bow is also seen in Lam. Chapter 2.

I do not believe the rfid or anything like it is the mark.
I will share more later on this.

Thanks again for your thoughts.

Remo, you asked "rev 6 is singular they follow the bow where is jesus describing as having a bow it would help me."

I think these may be a help.
And the context they are in too.

Psalm 7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

You also asked
"How do you interpret the blackhorse or point me to a link to who the black horseman is that Jesus too?"

See Isaiah 41:25-27 I have raised up one from the north.....I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings. Who was raised up from the north? What does north point to?
He who rode on the black horse whom would bring good tidings to the northern kingdom aka Gentiles.

Rom 10:15
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

Acts 9:15
he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

Hey yo,

"Should the Rev 6 white rider be the very same as the Zec 6, then it is a spirit.
Plain and simple interpretation."

Plain indeed and
Thanks for the comments and Good observation.
You might find this portion of text interesting of what Paul spoke of regarding it as well.

2 Cor 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of *the spirit*: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
7 But if the ministration of death.....

Read on and we see what was the ministration of death as described in 2 Corinthians. Wasn't there a rider named death?

Rev 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death...

My last point was cut off. Here it is.

I can't see a reason why we would not consult these other portions of Scripture to define the terms or identity of the riders where they are mentioned as opposed to making attempts at subjectively assigning them to things not mentioned.

Thanks for your thoughts QC as you pose some points I think that are worth working through.
It may take some time for me to share some more thoughts on this over the next few days but I will, Lord willing, make an attempt to address them. Here's one of them.

"And Rev 6 rider is not listed to have a specific outcome."

Seems to me the purpose is the same. Righteous judgment as described here.

Amos 5:24But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

Rev 6:2 And 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.*

Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and *in righteousness he doth judge and make war*.

The white horse seen in Rev 19 is mentioned in Zechariah and all these events do come to pass in the same timeline. We see in chapter 1 of Zechariah the appearing of the four horsemen coinciding with the ending of the 70 year Babylonian captivity (Zech 1:12) as well as the identifying of the horses with colors consistent with that of Rev 6 which describes a day of the Lord in which Amos 5 describes for us.

I can't see a reason why we would not consul

Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

This is the same white horse and rider as found in Zechariah 6:6 and Revelation 6:2. There are interpretations which names the white horseman of Rev 6 as the antichrist. If the bible is anything, it is consistent cover to cover for God is an Author without equal and any interpretation that doesn’t comprehend that consistency should immediately come into suspicion.
I suspect these false interpretations are constructs of the pre-tribulation rapture dispensationalists who hold the Revelation as chronological beginning to end. That would be understandable, but wrongly necessitate the white horse of Rev 6 be different from the white horse of Rev 19. This is what happens when man tries to determine the timelines rather than allowing scripture to do it.

It looks to me as though it has already begun.

Sadly, I believe your right Norm. The constituents have gathered within the 6 block area touting rhetoric filled with the socialistic ideals which democrats and one independent believe.

I understand your point and it's a good one but the thing is Mike, the true narrative is not perceived by those who need to learn the lesson that this is not the way to go about doing things.
Nothing like this could even exist in most of the US simply because the people that live in the area where this may try to be emulated would not put up with it.
I'm not sure but perhaps the business owners in this area are collectively just fine with the attention?

Since the comment is spoken to be Biblical restitution, here is one that that the article did not make mention of.

Ezek 18.... The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son..

Good observation Mike.

Start with presumptive lingo, add some fluff to distract, then wrap it up with the proverbial trap for anyone who would dare disagree with their point to be placed immediately in the shame box.

What if it were 24 people were killed in Chcago and another 85 were wounded by knives/crowbar/broom handles/ or sticks. Wouldn't we need legislation to regulate the sale and possession of these weapons?
Obviously the solution is we are to keep weapons out of the hands of these otherwise decent loving individuals. Only then would they settle their differences peacefully right?

Socialism is the platform of the democrats and have been trying their darnest to combine it with our established 200+ year old republic despite the latest epic failure of another group that had that same platform combination on our planet.

We knew them as the USSR.

Two out of the 4 initials is what your party is selling Jim. And if you buy those two intitials, the other two come free right along with it.

Thank you for your kindness as well and welcome to the forum. I really like your quote.

“the more you learn the more you realize all there is to learn and what you don't know.”

That is one of the more humbling statements that can only be said by one who is open to learning. It’s a rare trait these days. May God bless you as you serve Him.

Sorry for the confusion. So what you are saying is that he reprinted the KJV. I was trying to beat the heat of the day with outside work.
No problem,
Yes I did check out your link and I agree. There is a lot of information to sift through. Although its not directly stated regarding the version being a KJV it was inferred here in a small passage from the link you gave.

"The first English Bible printed in this country, as well as the first Bible to be recommended to the people by the Congress of the United States, was relatively small in dimensions. It measured but five and five-eighths inches by three and one-eighth inches. Printed in brevier type on American-made paper, it contained 726 leaves (1,452 pages). It is considered to be an excellent piece of printing with remarkably few divided words and with pages unmarred by "rivers" of blank space.
The edition consisted of ten thousand copies in which, *****as was the custom in small King James version Bibles*****, the books of the Apocrypha were omitted. The graceful title page carried the coat of arms of Pennsylvania and the New Testament showed Robert Aitken's initials, R.A., in script letters below the Order of Books on the back of the title page."

Of these things I was unaware. I found this http://logosresourcepages.org/Versions/1st.htm
I am still unclear as to who translated the Aitkin's Bible for that is more important then who printed it. It was not a KJV. Do you know who translated it?
It would appear this establishes what our founding fathers were not. Psalm 14:1
However that is as far as it can go, since there is much more at stake in making other determinations based upon the veracity of the word of God as a whole.
He was simply a printer and not a translator. The printing he did was indeed that of the KJV translation.

Here are a few links for you to take a look at.

Regarding our founding fathers of our country, I have found there is ample evidence that most were believers upon reading from their own quotes we have available to us today.
