The Horsemen of Revelation The Third Horseman Rides (Continues) commandments, God promises in the next verses the necessities for plentiful food production: “rain in its season” so that “the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit,you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.” Continuing, He says: “I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid; I will rid the land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go through your land . . . For I will look on you favorably and make you fruitful, multiply you and confirm My covenant with you” (verses 3-9). By living righteously and avoiding false religion, Israel would be able to receive divine blessings of good weather, fertile soil and plentiful rainfall. Peace, material abundance, good health and the absence of disease would follow. In other words, the curses like those accompanying the horsemen of apocalyptic disaster would not go through their land as long as they sincerely obeyed God and worshipped Him in truth This promise will be applied to all nations after the return of Christ. In time,they also will receive these same promised benefits when they, too, learn to live the way God has revealed in His Word. But until then, we will continue to see cyclical occurrence of famine, from all sorts of causes, resulting in millions of people dying when they could have lived. Amen
