The Book of Revelation is primarily about REDEMPTION, RESTORATION, not about DESTRUCTION.
The first horse, white in color, will bring a false peace upon this earth, a man-made peace that cannot endure for long. The second horse, a fiery red one in color, will bring wars upon this earth.
So what is the significance of the DENARIUS in Revelation 6:6?
The scales in the hand of the one who rides the black horse are EVENLY BALANCED by the DENARIUS, which is a picture of Jesus payment for each people group, the Wheat and Barley, on each side of the Scales. The word translated “Scales” means “Yoke”, such as the yoke used on oxen to keep balance.
Now Revelation 6:6b makes sense: …And do not harm the oil and the wine. Protect those who are my anointed ones, those who have been blood washed under the NEW COVENANT.
We have been weighed in balances, Jesus paid for us with his death and we are protected by His Spirit and His Blood. The Black horse in Revelation is the Horse of the Harvest.
Joseph divinely positioned and prepared for such a time as this by God himself, he is inviting his family to move to Egypt, and there they would live in a land called Goshen, which means: ‘DRAWING NEAR’.
But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete. In other words, Jacob and his entire clan was exposed to incredible evil. That’s one of the reasons God wanted Jacob and his family to be separated from these people. When they went down to Goshen, the place was prepared by God for them. When we draw near to God, which means we are separated from the wickedness of this world. The Hebrew writer is telling us that Jesus’ blood allows us to enter into God’s presence at any time. There are blessings in Goshen, blessings we can only receive when we DRAW NEAR TO GOD. Separation from the ways of the world. Provision by God Himself. Protection from the judgment of God upon this world.
