APO005
The Throne at the Center of the Vision
Exegetical study of Revelation 4, the vision of the heavenly throne that marks the turning point of the book. After the messages to the seven churches, John is carried up into heaven and beholds a throne surrounded by twenty-four elders and four living creatures. Every symbolic detail, lights, colors, sounds, expresses the sovereignty, holiness and divine authority that structure and govern history. This foundational vision sheds light on all the prophetic events to come.

APO012
The Fourth Seal, the Fourth Horseman
The article APO012 studies the fourth seal of Revelation (Rev 6.7-8) and the appearance of the pale horse ridden by Death. As the culmination of the three previous horsemen, this rider is given power to kill a quarter of humanity by war, famine, plagues and wild beasts. The article stresses the divine sovereignty that frames this terrible judgment, and places this event within the prophetic unfolding of the end times.
Revelation 6.7-8 (King James Version) :And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.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.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
