The Meaning of the Book of Revelation: the Four Horsemen
原作者： Jonathan S. Rose, Curtis Childs
Transparency is needed to sort things out. Before big change happens, God first reveals what’s really going on.
In the Book of Revelation - the last book of the Word - the apostle John describes a series of apocalyptic visions that he experienced during his exile on the Isle of Patmos, in the Aegean Sea.
In one of these visions, he saw four horsemen, the first riding a white horse, the second a red horse, the third a black, and the fourth - named Death - riding a pale horse. These "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" - oft-pictured - are described in Revelation 6:1-8.
What do these horses, and their riders, represent? What do they have to do with us, today? Watch as Curtis Childs and Jonathan Rose explore the hidden Bible meaning of the Four Horsemen in the Book of Revelation, in this video from the Swedenborg and Life Series, from the Swedenborg Foundation.

Matthew第13章:24-30
24
He set another parable before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
25
but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.
26
But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
27
The servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?'
28
"He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?'
29
"But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
30
Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
