In the Revelation chapter five there is a sealed scroll which is the title deed to the earth. There is a search for one worthy to open the seals. Of course, the only One worthy is the Lord Jesus. The next chapter describes the opening of the Seven Seals. The first four seals produce what has become known as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

These horsemen are riding a white horse, a red horse, a black horse and a pale horse. I have often wondered what color is a pale horse. Recently, there was comment floating around the Internet about the pale horse – and it was true!

The writer, whose name I do not know, noted that the Greek word translated as “pale” is chloros (Strong’s G5515) which means green. I suppose the translators could not conceive of a green horse, so they amended the meaning to pale. But the most original document we have, the Textus Receptus says green.

So, the four horses are white, red, black and green. The Internet writer then pointed out an interesting fact. Almost every national flag of Arab countries is composed of four colors; white, red, black and green.

We know that there will be Believers who will reign with the Lord Jesus for one-thousand years because they were beheaded for their witness of Jesus (Revelation 20:4). (Beheading is the legal method of capital punishment in several Arab/Muslim nations.)

“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” – Revelation 22:20
