Here is my offering on what the black horse of Revelation may be. [ Did you ever wonder why the new-agers and the "vogue" for the hip today is Black?]
THE BLACK HORSE.
In 1994 , while living in south Kansas City , and a part of KCF,[ Metro,] I had a vision. Part of it was "open", in that it was a reality; a participant was real, and alive. This being was Satan himself, as the Red Dragon. [his body upon the earth , especially in the affairs of men ; the progenitor of the religious spirit.]
It began in the living room of one of the many town houses that sprinkle the area. they are usually a living room at the door, and kitchen behind it, with a stairway that leads upward to two or three bedrooms.
There was a Christian gathering below; a fellowship happening. There were men and women relatively happy, eating finger-food, and intermingling. As I watched, I noticed the staircase leading upward to the bedrooms had a window at the turn , and there was a face looking in the window, that seemed vaguely familiar. It was the face of a man.
It drew me upwards, from curiosity, and intrigue. there was something about this face odd; different. I walked to the top turn of the stairs, and peered into the window, where I was face to face with the man.
As I watched, the face melted away, just like a wax museum face might when set near a fire. I saw the true identity of the man then. It was a living and menacing dragon, a reddish one. This being was alive, as big as a house, and the body was a perfect replica of the dragon you may see in an old St. George etching, except that it was alive. It had cunning eyes, a snout similar to a crocodile, a tail, and a reddish hue around it.
I knew that it was Satan himself, behind the window. Menacing would be the emotions I felt.
I then watched the living room below, and there appeared a black horse with a rider. It was the biggest horse I had ever seen; perhaps 15 feet tall, very, very broad and strong. upon the horse was a man; dressed in black, with a Mohawk haircut, [ sides shaved, and a strip in the middle from neck to forehead..]. His hair was jet black, and stood strait up perhaps a foot high. He was in the middle of the living room, among the fellowship of the Christians.
As I watched, he turned the horse towards the wall, and it dissipated before my eyes, and the entire world appeared before me. He then burst right into the cosmos, and rode away with great speed and power into it.
The vision ended.
Over the years, and coupled with other revelation, this is my latest idea on the Identity of this horse and rider.
The Black Horse, in it's purist form is New Age Ecumenicalism, the idea of extreme grace; that many roads lead to God, and of the one mind that Babylon expresses through religious activity.
There are very real and powerful deceiving spirits that are released through these "doctrines of devils", and they lay apart from the simple Pauline doctrines found in autonomous , grounded and the simple local church setting, with equal and plural, unprofessional shepherds.
It is indeed the one and same black horse that is ridden in Revelation, along with the other 3. It is marauding the entire Earth; it is the gospel that speaks of all religions touching God, and creates varied mechanisms that are work based to deceive men that they can attain God by performance.
It is coupled with real experience and power. It is as old as Babylon herself, where Satan first set up the global mind that would bring him worship; and ever so subtle.
After the Cross, Rome carried her torch in the name of Christ, and all of her practices; ALL OF THEM.. and her practitioners, imparted the unclean spirits of the Red Dragon. The monasteries, and the monks also, were but the seed bed to be possessed by the black horse, and they also rode upon her.
We are in the center geography of it's ride today, as we watch NEW AGE ECUMENICALISM [all roads lead to God..] emerge , even as a viable gospel message.
