First Seal: The Conqueror
“Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals;[j] and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, ?Come and see.? 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
White horse is not a good white horse. It’s lucifer
Tied to Mountain of Government/Power :: Lucifer (“shining one” “white one”)
This is describing him; prince of darkness
Shoots arrows of deception
Went out conquering and to conquer
Isaiah 14 v.12-16+ talks about fall of Lucifer :: “is this the man who shook kingdoms?”
New Testament Christianity – They didn’t believe any of this.
There has never been a time where satan was knocked off of these mountains.
The time is now.
The principalities were put on the mountains at the fall. Jesus got it back at the Cross. They are now usurpers.
God is telling us to step into the promised land and cross the Jordan. Jesus isnt paying another price. The usurpers have no right to be there.
Just like the Israelites were commanded in Exodus 3 to go defeat the 7 enemies. The “ites”.
Stein’s thought: Jesus’ death (defeated sin) & resurrection/empty tomb (conquered death and lets us walk back into the promised land/Eden); hence the second Adam. With Jesus rising from the dead, we get to leave Egypt like the Israelites and cross over into our promised land by putting our faith in Christ. A generation of Israelites died for not trusting God. Belief in God (faith) is the critical element to eternity in the promised land. This held true at the Jordan and does so now.
