Note; Can a Juror determine truth without hearing ALL of the evidence? It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that one hear ALL of the evidence, beginning with Part #1 of these posts!
In previous TESTIMONY, the DEFENSE proposed that the Books of DANIEL and REVELATION are comprised of 2 types of Chapters/Prophecies.
OVERVIEW Chapters, which cover an extended period of time and several events.
DETAIL Chapters, which focus on a particular event or period of time to provide greater information of that event or period of time.
It is the position of the DEFENSE that REVELATION 6 is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of an "Overview" Chapter.
REVELATION 6 TESTIFIES of a period of time that starts immediately after Christ's crucifixion and runs until THE DAY of Christ's 2nd coming.
There have been many ACCEPTED THEORIES concerning what is referred to as "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse".
As the JURY will soon hear, those theories were simply based upon a LACK of INFORMATION.
With the information that GOD had allowed to be UNDERSTOOD at THAT PERIOD OF TIME, they APPEARED to make sense.
As important as it is to recognize the "Overview" and "Detail" Prophecies contained within REVELATION;
It is JUST AS IMPORTANT to COMPREHEND the SOLE PURPOSE for THE EXISTANCE of the Book of REVELATION.
The DEFENSE would submit for JURY consideration that the Book of REVELATION is the "REVEALING" of JESUS CHRIST.
EVERYTHING contained within the Book of REVELATION is to reveal the AUTHORITY and POWER of THE "LAMB"(Jesus Christ).
It ALSO EXPOSES the "LAMB-LIKE" Fallen Angel Lucifer, who would seek to make himself EQUAL WITH JESUS CHRIST.
The DEFENSE would also submit for JURY consideration that there ARE;
ONLY TWO Main Characters / "Choices"
IDENTIFIED in the Book of REVELATION;
IF THIS IS TRUTH, then who would the riders of the 4 horses in REVELATION 6 be:
JESUS CHRIST?
SATAN?
Before the JURY hears the TESTIMONY of the 4 horsemen in REVELATION 6, it is necessary for the JURY to consider the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 5:12 &13.
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
The JURY SHOULD NOTE, that according to Scripture, JESUS CHRIST was to receive POWER.
The JURY should also note that the 4 horsemen have also received POWER.
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.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, do you ever believe that SATAN will be given a crown and sit upon a WHITE HORSE?
The DEFENSE would submit for JURY consideration that IT IS JESUS CHRIST that has been given the POWER of the FIRST HORSEMAN, when He conquered DEATH for HIMSELF AND THIS JURY.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
As supporting EVIDENCE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SECOND HORSEMAN, the DEFENSE would offer the TESTIMONY of Jesus Christ HIMSELF for JURY consideration.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, does the SECOND HORSEMAN describe a period of time;
Or does this vision represent another POWER and AUTHORITY of Jesus Christ?
Is not JESUS CHRIST the SECOND HORSEMAN?
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 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.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, the DEFENSE would submit for JURY consideration that the THIRD POWER Christ received was over FAMINE.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, does the THIRD HORSEMAN describe a period of time;
Or does this vision represent another POWER and AUTHORITY of Jesus Christ?
And AS DIFFICULT as THE TESTIMONY may have been to hear up to this point;
RIGHT NOW
THIS MOMENT
The TESTIMONY OF EZEKIEL;
Which is ACTUALLY THE TESTIMONY of GOD HIMSELF;
REQUIRES you ask yourself a VERY SERIOUS question;
Do I really want to be a goat?
Ezekiel 14
12 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I
-stretch out mine hand upon it,
-and will break the staff of the bread thereof,
-and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver [but] their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
15 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
16 [Though] these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD,
they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters;
they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
17 Or [if] I bring a sword upon that land, and say,
Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
18 Though these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD,
they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
19 Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter;
they shall [but] deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
Is it JESUS CHRIST or SATAN that is the THIRD HORSEMAN with "Power" over FAMINE?
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, who does Scripture say has the POWER OVER DEATH and HELL?
18 I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, does not Scripture say that JESUS CHRIST has the POWER OVER DEATH and HELL?
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, the DEFENSE would ask;
Who do you believe controls the FOUR HORSES in REVELATION 6?
The DEFENSE would also point out to the JURY that the FIRST FOUR SEALS are the ONLY SEALS that are ANNOUNCED by the FOUR BEASTS.
Although this is not a lesson we will be exploring in these posts, if the JURY was to use their "Prophetic Vocabulary" concerning these 4 BEASTS, would these BEASTS represent 4 HOLY "SPIRITUAL" KINGDOMS or AREA'S of "SPIRITUAL" AUTHORITY?
It is the position of the DEFENSE that the FIFTH SEAL is opened in the time of the SEVENTH HEAD(Catholic European Union);
It is the hope of the DEFENSE, that the JURY can recognize that the SIXTH SEAL will be opened when JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF appears to mankind IN the clouds.
Which brings the Jury to the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 7, and our INTRODUCTION TO THE 144,000.
The DEFENSE would submit to the JURY that, the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 7 would appear to be a "DETAIL" Prophecy.
In the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 7:1, the JURY is shown FOUR ANGELS that ARE PREPARED to cause HARM UPON THE EARTH.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Great "DETAIL" is ALSO provided regarding TWO GROUPS of humans which will inherit the Kingdom of God.
-IS SEALED In "THEIR FOREHEADS".
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: [and there were] sealed an hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad [were] sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses [were] sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar [were] sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand.
-FOLLOWS AFTER the 144,000, and will suffer "Great Tribulation".
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robe, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and [about] the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
The DEFENSE would point out that Scripture provides the INTERPRETATION of the SECOND GROUP.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
In PART # 30, the Jury will again hear the TESTIMONY of Scripture that WILL IDENTIFY THE 144,000 that are SEALED in their foreheads.
(see "Prophetic Vocabulary")
Note; Can a Juror determine truth without hearing ALL of the evidence? It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that one hear ALL of the evidence, beginning with Part #1 of these posts!

As important as it is to recognize the "Overview" and "Detail" Prophecies contained within REVELATION;
It is JUST AS IMPORTANT to COMPREHEND the SOLE PURPOSE for THE EXISTANCE of the Book of REVELATION.
REVELATION 1
1 The Revelation(REVEALING) of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him(Jesus Christ), to shew unto his(Jesus Christ's) servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he(Jesus Christ) sent and signified [it] by his(Jesus Christ's) angel unto his(Jesus Christ's) servant John:The DEFENSE would submit for JURY consideration that the Book of REVELATION is the "REVEALING" of JESUS CHRIST.
EVERYTHING contained within the Book of REVELATION is to reveal the AUTHORITY and POWER of THE "LAMB"(Jesus Christ).
It ALSO EXPOSES the "LAMB-LIKE" Fallen Angel Lucifer, who would seek to make himself EQUAL WITH JESUS CHRIST.
The DEFENSE would also submit for JURY consideration that there ARE;
ONLY TWO Main Characters / "Choices"
IDENTIFIED in the Book of REVELATION;
- JESUS CHRIST a.k.a. "LAMB" of God
- SATAN a.k.a. Dragon / "Little Horn" / "LAMB - LIKE"
IF THIS IS TRUTH, then who would the riders of the 4 horses in REVELATION 6 be:
JESUS CHRIST?
SATAN?
Before the JURY hears the TESTIMONY of the 4 horsemen in REVELATION 6, it is necessary for the JURY to consider the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 5:12 &13.
REVELATION 5
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
The JURY SHOULD NOTE, that according to Scripture, JESUS CHRIST was to receive POWER.
The JURY should also note that the 4 horsemen have also received POWER.
REVELATION 6
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.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.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, do you ever believe that SATAN will be given a crown and sit upon a WHITE HORSE?
The DEFENSE would submit for JURY consideration that IT IS JESUS CHRIST that has been given the POWER of the FIRST HORSEMAN, when He conquered DEATH for HIMSELF AND THIS JURY.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
As supporting EVIDENCE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SECOND HORSEMAN, the DEFENSE would offer the TESTIMONY of Jesus Christ HIMSELF for JURY consideration.
MATTHEW 10
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, does the SECOND HORSEMAN describe a period of time;
Or does this vision represent another POWER and AUTHORITY of Jesus Christ?
Is not JESUS CHRIST the SECOND HORSEMAN?
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 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.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, the DEFENSE would submit for JURY consideration that the THIRD POWER Christ received was over FAMINE.

17 Or [if] I bring a sword upon that land, and say,
Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
18 Though these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD,
they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
19 Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:

Is it JESUS CHRIST or SATAN that is the THIRD HORSEMAN with "Power" over FAMINE?
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, who does Scripture say has the POWER OVER DEATH and HELL?
REVELATION 1
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:18 I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, does not Scripture say that JESUS CHRIST has the POWER OVER DEATH and HELL?

Although this is not a lesson we will be exploring in these posts, if the JURY was to use their "Prophetic Vocabulary" concerning these 4 BEASTS, would these BEASTS represent 4 HOLY "SPIRITUAL" KINGDOMS or AREA'S of "SPIRITUAL" AUTHORITY?
REVELATION 4
6 And before the throne [there was] a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, [were] four beasts full of eyes before and behind.It is the position of the DEFENSE that the FIFTH SEAL is opened in the time of the SEVENTH HEAD(Catholic European Union);
- WHEN "PONTIFEX MAXIMUS CHRISTIANITY" executes it's first human as a "HERETIC".
It is the hope of the DEFENSE, that the JURY can recognize that the SIXTH SEAL will be opened when JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF appears to mankind IN the clouds.
Which brings the Jury to the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 7, and our INTRODUCTION TO THE 144,000.
The DEFENSE would submit to the JURY that, the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 7 would appear to be a "DETAIL" Prophecy.
In the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 7:1, the JURY is shown FOUR ANGELS that ARE PREPARED to cause HARM UPON THE EARTH.
REVELATION 7
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Great "DETAIL" is ALSO provided regarding TWO GROUPS of humans which will inherit the Kingdom of God.
- ONE GROUP
-IS SEALED In "THEIR FOREHEADS".
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: [and there were] sealed an hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad [were] sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses [were] sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar [were] sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand.
- The SECOND GROUP
-FOLLOWS AFTER the 144,000, and will suffer "Great Tribulation".
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robe, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and [about] the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
The DEFENSE would point out that Scripture provides the INTERPRETATION of the SECOND GROUP.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
In PART # 30, the Jury will again hear the TESTIMONY of Scripture that WILL IDENTIFY THE 144,000 that are SEALED in their foreheads.
