3And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.4And 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.
Second seal, second rider, the final chance for any kind of peace was over. The blood Red Horseman and rider was to bring on anarchy (most often, the term describes the absence of publicly recognized government or enforced political authority.) and warfare, and it will be very bloody and violent.
The peace was remove, hatred was everywhere. This horseman has a great sword which stands for warfare, all order was to be broken down. Fighting, hatred, chaos and killing was the activity of the day. Nation against nation, city against city, class wars, civil wars, brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor (Isaiah 19:2 and Zechariah 14:13). Men will fall in battle, parish in anguish, be destroyed by the had of their neighbor and slaughtered in the street and at home. It is a sad, horrific time for the world. A selfish, hateful, angry, hostile world with no rules, regulations or order. An extremely evil and bloody time where sin and strife abound.
I learned a new word connected with this vision, "internecine" strife. Internecine means: Latin internecinus, from internecare to destroy, kill, frominter- + necare to kill, from nec-, nex violent death — more at noxious, marked by slaughter : deadly; especially : mutually destructive.
This will be a horrible time for anyone to attempt to live through. Make sure your on the side lines, in heaven, with our Heavenly Father! Commit your life to Christ now, the blessings from Him that loves you will make your future days bright, full of hope and the promises of our wonderful Creator.
Blessings on all,
