Revelation 6:3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.
Here's the link to the commentary I use.
Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth: This rider didn’t need to bring war and destruction. All he needed to do was take peace from the earth. Once this peace — God’s gift to man — was taken, men quickly rush in with war and destruction.
Peace between men and among nations is a gift from God. It is not the natural state of relations between men.
And it was granted: This authority was granted to the horseman. This is, directly or indirectly, the judgment of God.
That people should kill one another: Our modern age is marked by war and conflict. Since World War II, there have been more than 150 wars of some kind in the world, and at any given time there may be some three dozen armed conflicts taking thousands of lives yearly. The nations of the world often spend more than $1 trillion on military expenditures a year.
Children are being shot in school. There are mass shootings all around. Just going to Walmart can be deadly. People are shooting in church! There are "Karens" everywhere! Dogs are more precious than children. That's just the tip of the iceberg when I consider the global loss of peace. There are children singing Disney songs in Bomb Shelters. There is war in Israel and Ukraine. The news is about murder, mass shootings, war, and courts.
I personally figure we are well past the ride of the Red Horse. People are killing each other in greater numbers and without motive.
They're shooting our children in schools.... and we wonder if the Red Horse has ridden?
Second Seal... Our Peace was stolen.... IMHO
