This is an advanced study which refers extensively to our earlier study, Revelation and the End Times. If you do not understand this study, please read first the study on Nazarene Israel, and then read Revelation and the End Times.
In Revelation and the End Times I show that the four horses of Zechariah and Revelation represent four spiritual forces at work in the world. These correspond to four patriarchs in Scripture, Joseph, Esau, Judah, and Ishmael. The order in which these horses appear is important, as is the fact that the order changes between Zechariah and Revelation, but we will have to talk about those changes in another place. In this study our goal is to talk about the struggle that takes place between these four horses, specifically with regard to two teams that they form, and what it means in the context of the end times.
Yeshua returns on a white horse in Revelation 19:11.
Hitgalut (Revelation) 19:11
11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
For this reason, the White Horse represents Yeshua and His people (i.e., those loyal to Him). It refers to the house of Joseph, and also the house of Ephraim (or the Ephraimite people), as Ephraim was Joseph’s son. In a greater sense it also refers to those Christians who love Yeshua, and who seek to obey His word (at whatever level), but to whom the mystery of the Two Houses has not yet been revealed. The Evangelical Christians belong to this class, and in general they support the Zionist state of Israel, and the Orthodox Jews (which we will see represents the Black Horse).
The Red Horse represents Esau, whose color was red.
B’reisheet (Genesis) 25:25
25 And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau.
If the spirit in Ephraim is that of the white horse, the spirit in Esau is that of the great dragon, Satan (whose color is also red). However, because Satan is a deceiver, he presents himself as representing the white horse. This is why the popes dress in white (instead of red). Yet while the papacy serves Satan there are still a few within the Catholic Church who love Yeshua, except they are very confused.
Hitgalut (Revelation) 3:4
4 “You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy.”
The Red Horse hates the White Horse Ephraimites. It seems either to subvert or destroy the White Horse any way that it can.
The Black Horse represents our brothers in Orthodox Judah. The Orthodox Jews are the same as the Pharisees of Yeshua’s day (having changed their name in the Middle Ages). Orthodox Jews even wear black. They represent the patriarch Judah.
The Black Horse is black because it uses underhanded and secretive means to gain global power and control, in an effort to establish a new world order for their (anti) messiah. They see this as their duty in serving Elohim, and this ancient plan may date back to the days of King Solomon (who some see as a type of the anti-Messiah).
To establish their new world order, the Black Horse has taken control of the world’s money supply. This gives them the power necessary to own or control the media, and also to exert control over the Illuminati, and through them the Masonic Lodge. Through these secretive organizations they are able either to control or influence the world’s democratic governments, including the courts and the schools.
The Black Horse hates the White Horse as much as it did back in Yeshua’s day, and part of the new world order plan is the plan to enslave or exterminate Joseph, just as Judah sold Joseph into slavery down in Egypt.
B’reisheet (Genesis) 37:26-28
26 So Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is there if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
27 Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother and our flesh.” And his brothers listened.
28 Then Midianite traders passed by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.
Most Orthodox Jews mean well, and are unaware of the darker agenda of the Black Horse, just as most Catholics are unaware of the darker agendas of Rome. However, there is a sect within Judaism called the Sabbatean Frankists, and they believe that the way to hasten the arrival of their (anti) messiah is to do as much evil as they can. While Yeshua rejected Satan, the Sabbatean Frankists have given themselves over to Satan, and thus they have gained authority over the kingdoms of earth.
Luqa (Luke) 4:5-7
5 Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”
The Black Horse hates Yeshua and His people as much as it did back in the first century—but even though the Black Horse controls the world’s money supply, it still needs Ephraim’s military might in order to establish his new world order, as Ephraim is Yahweh’s battle-ax, and His weapons of war.
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 51:20-23
20 “You are My battle-ax and weapons of war: For with you I will break the nation in pieces; With you I will destroy kingdoms;
21 With you I will break in pieces the horse and its rider; With you I will break in pieces the chariot and its rider;
22 With you also I will break in pieces man and woman; With you I will break in pieces old and young; With you I will break in pieces the young man and the maiden;
23 With you also I will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; With you I will break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen; And with you I will break in pieces governors and rulers.”
Yet even though the Orthodox Jews hate Yeshua and His people, there is still a relationship between them, as Judah and Joseph are both Yahweh’s people. We will look at this relationship in a moment, after we discuss the Green Horse.
The Green Horse represents Ishmael (Islam). Ishmael’s color is green, just as green is Islam’s primary color.
Interestingly, most Islamic flags contain not only green, but all four of the tribulation colors, white, red, black, and green (symbolizing all four horses).
Ishmael’s mother Hagar despised Sarai (Sarah) when she saw she had conceived by Avram, whereas Sarai had not.
B’reisheet (Genesis) 16:3-4
3 Then Sarai, Avram’s wife, took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Avram to be his wife, after Avram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan.
4 So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress became despised in her eyes.
Because Hagar despised Sarai, she also despised Sarai’s son, Yitzhak (Isaac). And because Ishmael is Hagar’s son, he also despised Yitzhak, and scoffed at him on the day he was weaned. This scoffing indicates a basic lack of respect.
B’reisheet (Genesis) 21:8-10
8 So the child grew and was weaned. And Avraham made a great feast on the same day that Yitzhak was weaned.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, scoffing.
10 Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Yitzhak.”
In the context of kingship and inheritance, for Ishmael to scoff at Yitzhak indicates a mortal threat, because if Ishmael disrespected Yitzhak, and killed Yitzhak, then the kingship and inheritance would go to him. That is why Ishmael seeks to kill the descendants of Yitzhak (Judah and Ephraim) today.
Team Red-Green: The Old Roman Order
Yitzhak had two sons, Esau and Yaakov (Jacob). Like Ishmael, Esau also hates Yitzhak’s other son Yaakov (including his descendants, Judah and Ephraim). This is because Yaakov (legitimately) bought Esau’s birthright (i.e., the kingship), and also tricked his father Yitzhak into giving him Esau’s blessing.
B’reisheet (Genesis) 27:41-42
41 So Esau hated Yaakov because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Yaakov.”
42 And the words of Esau her older son were told to Rivkah. So she sent and called Yaakov her younger son, and said to him, “Surely your brother Esau comforts himself concerning you by intending to kill you.”
If Esau killed Yaakov, then the birthright and the blessing would revert back to him. Further, he married two of Ishmael’s daughters, Mahalath and Basemath, and so he is allied with Ishmael by blood.
B’reisheet (Genesis) 28:9
9 So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Avraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had.
B’reisheet (Genesis) 36:1-3
1 Now this is the genealogy of Esau, who is Edom.
2 Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite; Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
3 and Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
Because Esau and Ishmael both want to kill Yaakov and his descendants, they form what I call Team Red-Green (or the Esau-Ishmael axis). This explains the Catholic Church’s favoritism toward Islam.
What Esau does not realize, however, is that Ishmael hates all of the sons of Yitzhak, including him, because it is only by wiping out all of the other descendants of Avraham that Ishmael stands to regain the birthright and the blessing.
Team Black-White, aka the New World Order
Just as Esau teams up with his older uncle Ishmael in an effort to kill the sons of Yaakov, the Ephraimites (i.e., the Evangelical Christians) also team up with their older uncle Judah (i.e., the Orthodox Jews in the land of Israel) in an effort to defend against the predations of Ishmael (and also Esau). However, this will prove to be a tragic mistake, because what the Evangelical Christians do not realize is that Judah is not a legitimate peace partner for them any more than Ishmael is a legitimate peace partner for Judah. Just as Ishmael seeks to kill Esau in addition to the sons of Yaakov, Black Horse Judah also hates White Horse Ephraim, and plans to destroy him after he has used him to the greatest possible extent. Yet Yahweh preserves Ephraim, even in his ignorance, because of Yahweh’s protection. We see this in many places, but the most obvious are in Zechariah 6 and also Genesis 35.
Zechariah 6:1-8
1 Then I turned and raised my eyes and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
2 With the first chariot were red horses, with the second chariot black horses,
3 with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot dappled horses — strong steeds.
4 Then I answered and said to the messenger [angel] who talked with me, “What are these, my master?”
5 And the messenger answered and said to me, “These are four spirits of heaven, who go out from their station before the Adon of all the earth.
6 The one with the black horses [Judah] is going to the north country, the white [Ephraim] are going after them, and the dappled [later Green] are going toward the south country [i.e., the Sinai].”
7 Then the strong steeds went out, eager to go, that they might walk to and fro throughout the earth. And He said, “Go, walk to and fro throughout the earth.” So they walked to and fro throughout the earth.
8 And He called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “See, those who go toward the north country have given rest to My Spirit in the north country.”
The “north country” represents what would later become Christian Europe (and especially the Protestant areas). There is much more we could say about this, but it will have to wait for another time.
Another passage which shows us that there would be a relationship between Judah and Ephraim is Genesis 35:10-12.
B’reisheet (Genesis) 35:10-12
10 And Elohim said to him, “Your name is Yaakov; your name shall not be called Yaakov anymore, but Israel shall be your name.” So He called his name Israel.
11 Also Elohim said to him: “I am Elohim Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation [Judah] and a company of [Ephraimite Christian] nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body.
12 The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land.”
In Scripture, order is important. Judah is mentioned first in both passages, telling us that Judah would lead. This agrees with the fact that Judah was to be the kingship tribe (at least before Armageddon).
Judah needs Ephraim to help establish his new world order, because Ephraim is Yahweh’s battle-ax and weapons of war.
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 51:20-24
20 “You are My battle-ax and weapons of war: For with you I will break the nation in pieces; With you I will destroy kingdoms;
21 With you I will break in pieces the horse and its rider; With you I will break in pieces the chariot and its rider;
22 With you also I will break in pieces man and woman; With you I will break in pieces old and young; With you I will break in pieces the young man and the maiden;
23 With you also I will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; With you I will break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen; And with you I will break in pieces governors and rulers.
24 “And I will repay Babylon And all the inhabitants of Chaldea For all the evil they have done In Tzion in your sight,” says Yahweh.
The only problem here is that in the greater overall context of the passage, Ephraim’s present homeland is in the United States of America, which we also identify as the land of Babylon. And in fact, Jeremiah 50-51 (in which this passage is located) speaks of the destruction of the prophetic land of Babylon. This means that while Ephraim will be used for Yahweh’s purposes in setting up a global millennial reign, they will also end up being severely punished for not doing it Yahweh’s way.
Babylon and Her Fall at Trumpet 7
As I show in Revelation and the End Times, all four horses presently belong to the Babylonian world system. Judah is in the head of gold, which is why they control the world’s money supply, and either control or strongly influence its governments. Esau is the Greco-Roman torso, and democracy flourished in both Greece and Rome. Roman Christianity forms the legs of the statue, and Islam is the clay mixed in with the feet of the statue.
Here are the same relationships, depicted differently.
In this diagram, Black Horse Judah is in the head of the statue. They will rule over a democratic New World Order, which may be enforced by Christian Ephraimites and their military. However, Black Horse Judah and also Red Horse Esau seek to bring Green Horse Ishmael into the White Horse Ephraimite countries through what is today called, “mass migration.” The purpose of this is to collapse the Christian world. This leads to confusion and violence, and it requires a totalitarian police state to keep the peace (that is no peace). This is the world that the Evangelical Christians are helping to build through their support of Black Horse Zionist Judah and his desire to establish a New World Order (without Yeshua). It will fall at trumpet 7, along with Esau in Rome (and the entire Babylonian-Roman system), who secretly controls Babylon at a much deeper level.
Hitgalut (Revelation) 14:8
8 And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city [Rome], because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”
