End Times/Last Days/Revelation
Over the recent weeks pondering this Corona virus as has just about everyone else.
What does it mean? Is this of God? Is it just media hype? The numbers of cases worldwide as compared to the actual population are really not conducive to an actual pandemic and the numbers are far lower than the H1N1 a few years back for which while it might have been made known by the media, certainly was not of such great proportion as they are pushing with this Corona virus.
One thing is clear however. The hype of this “plague” has cleared out shelves in stores, is shutting down schools and most likely eventually businesses and has and is causing stock market panics and will eventually lead to financial meltdown of epic proportions and widespread panic.
This then, brings us to the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. How might they tie in if at all? Many scholars have put forth their interpretations and many have tried to fit them over timelines in history. How might this fit (if at all) with the current Corona virus event?
Might the four horsemen of Revelation chapter 6 hold some clues? Let’s examine the verses as compared to the events we are currently experiencing. Examining each word within the verse will make this a long work. For the sake of brevity, only the possible connected concepts from each word definition will be shown unless the entire definition has merit. Specific words are bolded and /or underlined.
CORONA. The Latin word for CROWN. VIRUS. The Latin word for POISON.
Rev 6:2 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.
Rev 6:2 AndG2532 I saw,G1492 andG2532 beholdG2400 a whiteG3022 horse:G2462 andG2532 he that satG2521 onG1909 himG846 hadG2192 a bow;G5115 andG2532 a crownG4735 was givenG1325 unto him:G846 andG2532 he went forthG1831 conquering,G3528 andG2532 toG2443 conquer.G3528
G3022 “white”
λευκός
leukos
lyoo-kos'
From λύκη lukē (“light”); white: - white.
Leukos. The Greek word from which we get “leukocytes”. White blood cells. These are the ones activated when we get infected with foreign antigens.
Horses are swift and riders can get somewhere a lot faster if they ride a horse. Could the implication of the four horsemen be that the horses they ride mean we see these things happen swiftly, very fast?

Subdue, overcome, victorious
In summary, if we have interpreted correctly, the idea that this virus was made and spread with the exact intent of spreading fear and panic which would bring about conditions setting up the opportunity of the anti-christ beast system to launch their global agenda.
How might this lead up to the second horse?
