Four horsemen of Revelation 6 was relased before the fifth seal, but in the fifth seal, "those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne... then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been."
It's interested how God didn't need to release another horse for the fifth, sixth, and seventh seal. But if we look forward to Revelation 19, He finally released a white horse with Faithful and True sitting on it, "clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called The Word of God." But He didn't go on his horse alone for "the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses." It is when everything will be completed with the "Final Generation".
I just found it funny that the fifth, sixth, and seventh seal didn't release any horses, but God relased a white horse to lead armies of horses from the heaven. But in Zechariah 1:8, "I saw in the night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse! He was standing among the myrtle trees in the glen, and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses." So Zechariah asked what they are? So the man standing in Zechariah's vision said, "These are they whom the Lord has sent to patrol the earth." And then they told the angel of the Lord, "We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth remains at rest."
Why did they need to go to a specific area to maintain order and security as they pass along the road/area? It sounds like they are preparing the way for something. What are they preparing for?
At Gallaudet, I once walked through field house to see some security guards patrolling the area. So I had to go through another way out of field house after a basketball practice or so. The security had to patrol the area to prepare the safety for the congressmen to enter the building in order to dress up for their annual Congressional Flag Football game in around second week of November, after the Gallaudet's football season just ended.
The ministry of those horsemen is to prepare the safety, then the Lord said, "I am exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion... with the nations that are at ease... therefore, thus says the Lord, I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy; my house shall be built in it, declares the Lord of hots, and the measuring line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem."
Now everything is safe and measured, the Lord says, "Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without wall,... And I will be to her a wall of fire all around,... and I will be the glory in her midst."
God gave us all the seasons of life, there are four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter or white, red, black, and sorrel/pale if you like! After all of those seasons in our lives, the Lord measures our inner self and then wrapped us in His glory, transformed! God, Himself, wants to dwell among us!
We all may help each other through those seasons by being a prayer warrior who will pray-through just like how those horsemen patrolled the earth by their ride-through. Praying-through doesn't mean we shall pray in our carnality, but in our spirit so that God's will may be completed in us.
One of 2nd Thief rider rode through 21 states for 5111 miles for 11 days praying over our nation from Virginia to California and back! If the Holy Spirit ever compelled you to do something like that, then GO!
