The Four Angels Loose the Four Winds

By: David M. Curtis

 

 

A major key to understanding the book of Revelation is found in Isaiah 28:10

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: Isaiah 28:10

What this simply means, is that we must compare scripture with scripture

When we follow this principal then we acknowledge another important rule.

THE BIBLE IS ITS OWN EXPOSITOR

That means that   THE BIBLE EXPLAINS ITSELF

By comparing scripture with scripture we have learned that


FOUR BEASTS of Revelation 4-6 =

FOUR ANGELS 

&

FOUR HORSEMEN of Revelation 6 =

FOUR WINDS

The Four Beasts of Revelation 4-6 are

THE FOUR ANGELS

These are the only two passages in the Bible giving reference to SIX WINGED creatures.  The two descriptions of SIX WINGED creatures match perfectly. They even sing the same song! The four beasts of Revelation 4-6 are definitely FOUR ANGELS called Seraphim.

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. (Revelation 4:8)

Above it stood the SERAPHIM'S: each one had six wings with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. (Isaiah 6:2-3)


The FOUR HORSEMEN are

the FOUR WINDS 

There are only two passages in the Bible giving direct reference to the FOUR HORSEMEN; Revelation 6 & Zechariah 6. These two descriptions of the FOUR HORSEMEN definitely are a match. Zechariah wanted to know what these FOUR HORSEMEN represented.  As we read Revelation 6 we find our selves asking the same question, “What are these?” The angel only gave one answer, “These are the FOUR WINDS” (Margin). The King James actually says Four Spirits, and that word for “spirits” translates as both spirits and winds.

 

         Zechariah 6:2-5 (margin)

             (2) In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;

            (3)  And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled and bay horses.

           (4)  Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?

             And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four winds of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

What is Truth?
"Truth is not what I believe.  Truth is not what I know.  Truth is fact.  I may not believe it.  I may not know it.  That does not change it.  It is there nevertheless, waiting to be discovered and believed.  Truth does not depend on the unsettled and changing opinions of men.  It was truth before it was believed.  It will remain truth whether it is believed or not."  Carlyle B. Haynes

The Plagues are POURED...

The Trumpets SOUND....

The Four Horsemen (four winds) of the Seven Seals are “LOOSED.”

Revelation 5:2,5

(2)  And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

 (5)  And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

        Four Beasts (FOUR ANGELS) are connected to LOOSING the Four Horsemen (FOUR WINDS)

              At the commencement of each seal being LOOSED one by one the FOUR ANGELS which are here called the “four beasts” make the announcement, “Come and See.”

            Revelation 6:1-8

          (1)  And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

          (2)  And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

          (3)  And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

          (4)  And 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.

         (5)  And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

         (6)  And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

(7)  And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

 (8)  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.

We have now IDENTIFIED THE FOUR ANGELS and WHAT THE FOUR WINDS which they LOOSE are! Next we must discover what will happen when THE FOUR HORSEMEN ARE LOOSED to trample the earth under their hooves.

The Four Angels Loose the Four Winds during the Sixth Trumpet

Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. Revelation 9:14

 Revelation 5:2,5 quoted earlier are the only other verses in Revelation using this term “loose.” Notice how the 7 Last Plaques are POURED OUT, the Trumpets SOUND. The Seals alone bear the unique stamp of being “LOOSED” exactly like as the FOUR WINDS are described as being “LOOSED” in Revelation 7:1-3.

Revelation 7:2 mentions the Four ANGELS; only one other passage of scripture directly refers to FOUR ANGELS, which is Revelation 9:14, 15. Both sets of FOUR ANGELS are connecting to this action of LOOSING.  No other passage of scripture in Revelation matches these descriptions.  The two sets of FOUR ANGELS are clearly referring to one another.  The Sixth trumpet is the time which the SEALS or WINDS are LOOSED.

Another description of the FOUR ANGELS 

And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle (Revelation 4:7)   

As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle (Ezekiel 1:10)   

These Four Angels are described in both Ezekiel 1 and 10.  These 10 chapters are describing the time of the FOUR WINDS.  During this time if God’s people are silent the blood of those who are lost will be on their hands (Ezekiel 3:18-22).  It is during this time that God’s Faithful servants that refuse to be silent and give THE LOUD CRY will receive the SEAL OF GOD in their foreheads ( Ezekiel 9). 

“The day of God's vengeance is just upon us. The seal of God will be placed upon the foreheads of those only who sigh and cry for the abominations done in the land.” 5T p. 512.

During this time 1/3 of Mankind will die from Sword, Famine and Pestilence caused by this Army of Horsemen or WINDS.

Ezekiel 5:11-12

(11)  Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.

(12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

 

The Four Horsemen or FOUR WINDS consist of Sword Famine and Pestilence. A third of mankind die during the sixth trumpet when the  Four Angels are Loosed, and the Horses are seen in vision.

 

Revelation 9:17-18

(17)  And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

(18)  By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

 

¼ of mankind dies during fourth Horsemen alone!

Revelation 6: 8

(8)  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.

During Vietnam 58,000 Americans died. During the coming war, if 4% of the earths population were to die, it would equal ¼ of a billion people. This figure leaves 4% of the earth’s population to die by famine. Another ¼ of a Billion people! What causes this famine? Several things, first is the sounding of the fourth trumpet darkens the sun moon and stars 1/3 of the day. The normal harvest will fail do to lack of sunlight. Second, the chaos and confusion from the little time of trouble and the time of the FOUR WINDS will render the present system of life paralyzed. The trucks will not be able to make their deliveries to the larger cities. The electricity that makes running water possible from the tap will not work.  There will be no food in the stores, and no running water in the cities.

     O that God's people had a sense of the impending destruction of thousands of cities, now almost given to idolatry.--Ev 29 (1903). 

 

     The time is near when large cities will be swept away, and all should be warned of these coming judgments.--Ev 29 (1910).

Through Famine, War and Pestilence 1/3 of mankind will die as predicted in the Bible. We should heed the warning and flee the larger cities now! We should learn from Lot's mistake (Genesis 18).

The Sequence of Events found in Revelation 6

  1. First seal - False Christ
  2. Second Seal - War
  3. Third Seal - Famine
  4. Fourth Seal - Pestilence
  5. Fifth Seal - Martyrs
  6. Sixth Seal - Event with Sun Moon and Stars

The same Sequence of Events is found in    Matthew 24

  1. First seal - False Christ – v.  5
  2. Second Seal – War – v. 6,7
  3. Third Seal – Famine – v. 7
  4. Fourth Seal – Pestilence – v. 7
  5. Fifth Seal – Martyrs – v. 9,10
  6. Sixth Seal - Event with Sun Moon and Stars – v. 29

MATTHEW 24 HAS A TWO FOLD MEANING

 

“Christ presented before them an outline of the prominent events to take place before the close of time. His words were not then fully understood; but their meaning was to be unfolded as his people should need the instruction therein given. The prophecy which he uttered was two fold in its meaning: while foreshadowing the destruction of Jerusalem, it prefigured also the terrors of the last great day.”  - The Great Controversy p. 25, 26

 

Please notice the author of The Great Controversy states that Matthew 24 has two meanings… not three.  She says nothing about Matthew 24 applying to the Dark Ages.

Application # 1 "The destruction of Jerusalem"

Application # 2 "The Last Great Day"

Although other prophecies are clearly referring to the 1260 years during the Dark Ages, this period of time CANNOT be the final fulfillment of Matthew 24 prophecies as some Bible students have previously thought.

Compare the following verses carefully…

 

Matthew 24:21  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

 Was the tribulation during the dark ages greater than that during the 7 last plagues?  Of course not!

Daniel 12:1    “… and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: …”

Daniel 12 refers to when probation closes and the 7 last plagues are poured out.

Daniel 12:1

(1)    And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

The seven last plagues will be the GREAT TIME OF TROUBLE, greater than any previously experienced. Matthew 24:15 refers to the writings of the Prophet Daniel, and then in verse 21 Jesus makes reference again to Daniels writings using the very same language found in Daniel 12.

Matthew 24:20-22

(20)  But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

(21)  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

(22)  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

This is clearly a reference to the same time of trouble. They both claim to be the greatest time of trouble the world will ever experience. Daniel 12 is referring to the time of the 7 Last Plagues; Matthew 24 is also referring to the time of the end, NOT the time of the dark ages, or 1260 prophetic years of Daniel 7 and Revelation 12 & 13.  

 

Please compare Matthew 24:21 to Daniel 12:1 over and over again until this point sinks into your mind.

My deepest respect is offered as I say the following. The dark day of the 18th century did not cause the actual fulfillment of either Matthew 24 or Revelation 6. The falling of the stars in 1833 as amazing as that was did not either? The Lisbon earth quake has been surpassed by the earthquake that caused the tsunami in India in 2004. That earthquake actually shifted the earth off its normal North and South Pole access.  The Lisbon earth quake did not do that!

Again please compare Matthew 24:21 to Daniel 12:1 over and over again until this point sinks into your mind. The event of the sun moon and stars from over 150 years ago was a wake up call, but it was not the actual fulfillment of Matthew 24:29 or the sixth seal. Some Prophecy students teach that we are living in the time of the middle of the sixth seal. We need to realize that these events have NOT happened yet, and that we need to wake up and sound the warning to the world of the coming judgments.

 Matthew 24:29

29  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

It is ONLY after this “Great Time of Trouble” begins that the event of the sun, moon and stars Predicted by Christ occurs. Dear heart, the events of the 18th and 19th century serve as merely a shadow of what is going to happen. We have not seen anything yet!
