The Black Horseman With (7) A Set Of Economic Balances or Scales
Revelation 6:5 And when he (7) had opened the third (3) seal, I heard (7) the third beast say, Come and see. And (7) I beheld, and lo a black horse; (7) and he that sat on him had (7) a pair of balances in his hand. (77777)
(7) Commentary; balances are symbolic for economic transactions (7) and ‘prices’ for things such as wheat (7) barley grain, bread, olive oil, wine, (7) various food commodities. These are common throughout (7) the world and are considered by most (7) as the ‘staples of life or living.’ (777777) 6×7.

The world will have reached a point of ‘climate apartheid’ where only the wealthy can afford basic food resources in the face of fatal droughts, famine, locust swarms and heatwaves, while the rest of the world suffers. Only the extreme rich can afford expensive cooking oil, baked pastries and loaves of multi-grain breads, fancy wines and related luxurious food stuffs. Yet, the ‘average peasant’ has to work for an entire day’s wages just to be able to buy enough wheat to make a loaf of bread. Great and severe income inequality is rampant worldwide. The ‘few’ own a massive disproportion of the earth’s wealth and bounty. Billionaires vs billions of poor. The ‘Crown Prince’ owns 60,000 (6) tonnes of wheat in his store houses or graineries while the few grain silos in the Port of Lebanon were destroyed and its people are threatened with expensive grain shortages that require humanitarian assistance.

(7) Setup For The Black Horse: The World (7) Is Teetering On The Edge Of Bankruptcy
By Mark Hitchcock September 22, 2023 The Epoch Times
The global debt clock is spinning, reaching a record-high of $307 trillion this week. What does this mean?
The amount of debt grew by around eight to ten trillion in just the first quarter of 2023 alone. It was recently reported that “The majority of low-income nations are on the cusp of a debt crisis, sparking fears of global contagion.”
The global debt virus has infected the international economic system, and the world is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, especially in many of these low-income nations. US debt just surpassed $33 trillion this week. Last month, Credit card debt, for the first time in American history, eclipsed $1 trillion.
The US national debt is projected to exceed 100% of gross domestic product in the next two years. In around six years, the national debt is said to exceed its all-time high of 106% of the gross domestic product, which occurred in 1946, the year immediately following World War II. We know why we had so much debt then, but now it’s simply a result of runaway spending that politicians are not able to curtail.
What’s happening now is the convergence of rising debt and rising interest rates, which is a deadly cocktail. 60% of American families live paycheck to paycheck. Think about that—any kind of financial crisis can take six out of ten families under.
Credit card debt in the US has been rising at one of the fastest rates in history as more Americans are leaning on their credit in the face of rising prices. We collectively own, as I mentioned earlier, over a trillion dollars. In January alone, credit card debt jumped more than 11%, and with interest rates rising, getting ahead of debt is getting harder and harder.
Last year, the average credit card user was carrying a balance of over $5,500, up 13% from the year before in 2021. Even among the 18% of Americans making over $100,000 A year, 37% don’t pay their credit card bill in full every month. The share of credit card users in the United States who carry a balance has increased to 46% from just 39% a year ago.
This is threatening our nation’s future. Financial ruin has catastrophic consequences.
The cover of Newsweek from several years ago grabbed my attention. The front of the magazine read, “How Great Powers Fall,” showing an upside-down US Capitol standing on its dome. The cover further displayed the quote, “Steep debt, slow growth, and high spending kill empires. And America could be next.”
The featured article, written by Niall Ferguson, stated, “An empire at risk—We won the Cold War and weathered 9/11, but now economic weaknesses is endangering our global power.”
Providing a history of how empires decline and die, Ferguson explained that the process “begins with a debt explosion and ends with an inexorable reduction in the resources available for the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force.” Debt becomes so high that you can’t spend the money you need to defend yourself. In the cases of Spain, France, and the Ottoman Empire, the explosion of debt brought their empires down.
According to the article, “Habsburg Spain defaulted on all or part of its debt 14 times between 1557 and 1696 and succumbed to inflation due to a surplus of New World silver.”
“Pre-revolutionary France was spending 62% of royal revenue on debt service by 1788,” the author described.
Ferguson noted that the Ottoman Empire went the same way: “interest payments and amortization rose from 15% of the budget in 1860 to 50% in 1875.”
The article concluded by saying, “Call it the fatal arithmetic or imperial decline without radical fiscal reform, it could apply to America next.”
We don’t think very often of the ruinous consequences of runaway spending and the inability to rein in the massive debt we are compiling as a nation. It threatens our national defense and makes people more willing to surrender freedom to the government. The more debt that individuals have, the more they will be willing to surrender their freedom to the government, if the government will help them get out of that debt.
There’s a quote by a best-selling author named Robert Kiyosaki, “When people are struggling financially, they’re more willing to have a government save them, unwittingly exchanging their personal freedom for financial salvation.”
It could be that we are looking at a global conspiracy. Do government elites want people to go further into debt because they will become more dependent on a government to save them? And, of course, for the government to do that, there’s going to be a string attached of giving up other freedoms.
In our world, which is teetering on bankruptcy with $307 trillion in global debt, think about what will result when the rapture happens. Think about the economic collapse in the United States and globally when all the salt and light in this world is extracted in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.
We know that during the tribulation period, the third horseman of the apocalypse is riding a black horse and carrying “a pair of balances in his hand” (Revelation 6:5)
Revelation 6:6 KJV – “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.”
A global economic Armageddon is coming. There will be an incredible polarization of wealth as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. What we are seeing today is the setup for the coming of the third horseman.
I read a book several years ago by David Jeremiah titled “The Coming Economic Armageddon“. In it, he quotes a passage of Scripture which says:
Luke 17:26-30 KJV – “And (7) as it was in the days of (7) Noe, so shall it be also in (7) the days of the Son of man. (6) They did eat, they drank, they (7) married wives, they were given in marriage, until the (7) day that Noah entered into the ark, and (7) the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also (7) as it was in the days of (7) Lot; they did eat, they drank, they (7) bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; (7) But the same day that Lot went (7) out of Sodom it rained fire and (7) brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even (7) thus shall it be in the day (7) when the Son of man is revealed.” 14 x7. 7 (7777777) + 7 (7777777) = 7+7 = 14
David Jeremiah went on to say,
(7) “The people who were living at the (7) time of the flood and the destruction (7) of Sodom and Gomorrah were simply living (7) their everyday lives. They ate, they drank, (7) they married, they were given in marriage, they (7) bought, they sold, they planted, they built. These (7) people went on with their love for (7) the good life as if nothing unusual (7) loomed on the horizon. They refused to (7) heed the warnings and kept on doing (7) what they’ve always done until judgment descended, (7) and their window of opportunity closed forever.”
(777777777777) 12×7. Twelve (12) is God’s Divine Number (7) denoting His Governance or Government on/of Earth. Seven (7) is God’s (7) Divine Number denoting His ‘Perfect Completion to (7) His Plan or Purpose of a Thing.
“Today, the (7) warning signs are clearer than ever before,” Jeremiah continued. “This (7) should grip all of us with a (7) sense of urgency about examining our lives (7) and making necessary changes in our priorities, [and] should spur (7) us to a greater concern about the (7) lives of those we know and love.” (777777) 6×7.
What we (7) see today, happening globally and in our (7) own country, with this debt explosion, is (7) certainly a setup for what’s coming in (7) the times predicted in Revelation chapter six (6). (7777)

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).
C. Call upon His name, Confess (7) with your heart and with your lips (7) that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.
. . . “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10).
. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (John 1:8-10).
. . . “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (John 2:2).

. . . “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).
. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).
. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).
. . . “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16).
. . . “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts: 4:12).
. . . “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:4-6).

. . . “But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12).
