This podcast explains the symbolic images used by John in his vision of the third seal of seven opened in Revelation 6:5-6. In these verses, he sees a black horse and rider, as well as other symbols that represent famines in the third thousand years of the earth’s temporal existence. This coincides in time with the period of the patriarchs, including Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel) and Joseph. There were also famines in the days of the judges in Israel and the three kings of Israel, including Saul, David and Solomon. This great time of famine occurred between approximately 2000 and 1000 BC.
