I found this brief commentary on YouTube that, if nothing else, was engaging:
“People say
it’s the Jews who are subverting the world but it’s not them; it’s these men
who belong to the ancient “mystery schools,” who meet in secret to decide the
fate of the world.
“These men belong
to all different races and all different nationalities and all different
religions, at least to the public point of view. But in secret, it’s a different
story.
“The fate of
billions rest in the hands of a small group of people and their strategy is
simple: keep us watching the circus so we never look behind the curtain.
“At the
highest level of all countries, they all belong to the same club and we the
people sit back and we watch this grand drama which is being played out for OUR
benefit, not theirs.
“Anyone who’s
ever read George Orwell’s “1984” knows that that’s what’s coming. Orwell
understood control doesn’t happen overnight.
“First, you
distract, and then you divide, and then you rewrite the rules so people don’t
even know they’re being controlled. Orwell’s book showed us the final destination;
a world where nothing is true . . .
“These elite
men are following the Book of Revelation just like a plan. They bring the “prophecies”
to pass to manipulate and control those who believe in those prophecies; to
neutralize them, so to speak:
“There
really is a God and what He said is going to come to pass really is coming to pass.”
“Look at the
pale horse from Revelation 6: [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.
“The Greek
word for “pale” is “chloros,” meaning greenish; the color of death. The black
horse is about famine, collapse. Inflated prices, scarcity.
“Revelation
13 describes a world where no one can buy or sell without a mark. Today,
central bank digital currencies are rolling out globally. The technology being
described is being built.
“Commanders
quote Revelation. Leaders invoke Scripture. They’re following a script.
“Why is it
that we can realize something this important and still forget it by tomorrow?
Maybe we don’t want to believe it; maybe we’re scared. I think it’s something
else. We’re numb. Life grinds us down. We’re distracted; the endless scroll.
“We turn on
the news hoping to understand, but instead we get distortion and confusion and
that numbness becomes a habit; a survival mechanism.
“But what if
that’s exactly what some are counting on? All the media in this country—radio,
television, print—is owned by five corporations.
“All
journalists know there are some things you don’t write about and you don’t talk
about, because you’ll lose your job and that’s where the control is . . .
“It’s the Roman
circus. What does the emperor do when the people become restless and they begin
asking questions; when the people don’t like the policies of the emperor?
“He creates
a circus; he fills a giant coliseum where he begins to throw the Christians to
the lions and he has great chariot races and football and basketball games.
“All to keep
the people preoccupied with things that don’t mean anything in the scheme of
the world. That’s why they pay a player of a football team or baseball team millions
of dollars.”

Here’s a Bible
study on the four horsemen of Revelation:
Revelation
6:4: [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.
"Red
represents blood and the second tactic is international unrest outside of the
nation of Israel. He's a man of war and he's going to fight . . . We saw in the
Book of Daniel, the north is involved and the south is involved, Egypt, and
then you have the ships of Chittim, the West gets involved and he's going to
repel that naval attack. The Navy's involved, the Air Force is involved.
"There's
a lot of fighting going on, but in the meantime there's this sense of security
because Israel, for the first time, they're going to enjoy something they
didn't really enjoy before. That is, a charismatic leader who actually provides
military protection for that apostate nation," explains Alex Kurz.
[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.
"The
third tactic is represented by a black horse and the famine in the land that
results in starvation isn't due to natural causes; it's the result of war.
You're going to see members of the 'little flock' starving; there's going to be
food rationing and so forth while the oppressor is enjoying the wine and the
oil.
"Obviously
the economic effect will benefit the unbeliever, but the result is the
persecution of God's little flock; remember the Lord Jesus Christ said,
'Blessed are they that persecute you.'
[7]
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast
say, Come and see.
"The
Lord Jesus Christ is the only one who's worthy; He pops those seals. Again,
it's the Lord Jesus Christ who commences these events through the
instrumentality of this man of sin, the rod and staff of God's indignation
against a hypocritical nation.
[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.
"When
somebody's pale that indicates lack of blood flow. We have in this fourth horse
a religious policy that the Antichrist is launching at the start of the 70th
Week. Paleness represents lack of blood and you understand animal sacrifices in
the history of Israel's religious life. You know how an animal was offered; the
blood was drawn.
"Remember
you have this individual who is riding and controlling these horses. One
individual representing four interesting aspects of his policy of evil. How
many representations of the Lord Jesus Christ do we have of His earthly
ministry? Four. We're talking about this great impostor and we're going to see
almost under every rock how this guy mimics the Lord Jesus Christ.
"The
Lord Jesus Christ is represented in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. There are
four specific aspects that correlate with who He is in His person: the king,
the man, the servant and God. Well, you have this imposter, the Antichrist, who
has four representations of his tactics and policy of evil.
"When
we look at these verses, Death and Hell (with capitals because they're both
personified) is a representation of the religious system. He's a religious man
and the apostate nation of Israel, they're going to love him.
"If
you're not a participant in this religious system you'll be persecuted with
sword, death, famine and beast. There are consequences in rejecting the
religious system.
"Remember
Daniel? He was a scientist who participated in that Babylonian kingdom UNTIL he
was ordered to bow down and worship the false god.
"What
makes this religious system so deceptive is it's nothing but a reheated version
of the law of Moses and the temple worship and the animal sacrifices that are
all biblical.
"You
know why the little flock better rightly divide the truth during the 70th Week?
You have those religious people saying it's back to Moses, back to Deuteronomy,
and they're doing everything that that Old Testament teaches. If they fail to
rightly divide the word of truth they're going to be victimized.
"If the little flock says, 'Oh wait a minute, Genesis through Malachi, it's all Scripture, right?' . . . And here you have this temple rebuilt in Jerusalem. If you don't rightly divide the word of truth it could lead to your eternal destruction. So right division is going to save a lot of lives during that tribulation period."
