Under the rider on the red horse (Rev. 6) there is civil war on both a global and community scale. It is not war between countries so much, but civil war in all nations and ethnicities.
Those who do not keep up with world affairs will not know that civil war is beginning not only in the United States but in many countries around the world, especially during the Covid pandemic. This conflict has two sides, the globalists and the nationalists. The former want a world government and totalitarian rule by one world leader and one world political and economic system. The nationalists oppose this, wanting to keep their nation's sovereignty, and local community self rule.
The world via the Antichrist will have a one world global government. But, so will the Lord Jesus Christ when he comes and sets up his kingdom. Then "the government (of the planet) will be upon his shoulder." (Isa. 9: 6) Then "the kingdoms (sovereignties) of this world" (Rev. 11: 15) will become "the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ." The government of "the beast," the "man of lawlessness," will be destroyed by Christ when he comes and he will "sweep away" the beast and his rule and inaugurate a new age of peace, joy, and safety, when every man will "sit under his own vine and fig tree and none will make them afraid." (Micah 4: 4; Zech. 3: 10)
"A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished." (Prov. 22: 3)
Believers who know their bibles and its prophecies, and see what state the world is now in, must need prepare for that day and "hide" themselves. First, they need to hide themselves in the cleft of the rock, that is, in Christ. Second, they need to seek out places to flee in the coming persecution.
Are the present global civil wars the beginning of the red horse rider's work? If so, it is going to get worse. When neighbor begins to kill neighbor in large numbers around the world, we may well say that the red horse and his judgments are here and soon will follow famine and more pestilence (pandemics) so that one fourth of the world's population will be killed.
There is a new virus discovered that has a mortality rate of up to 50%. Could it be a man made virus that kills one fourth of the population? could it be a medical chip or card thats required to enter any public space which becomes the mark of the beast? Stephen King wrote about a world wide virus, which was made into a movie called "The Stand". It has strong biblical overtones, altho it is not based on scripture, but is about the final battle between good and evil after civilization collapses after the virus wipes out most people. It is worth a watch, as the good who follow God must "stand" and fight the beast. I wonder who among us is willing to "stand" in the face of tremendous persecution. When so called Christians won't even do without a cup of coffee sold by enemies of God, it tells me the remnant is small indeed. The average Christian has no idea what their children are taught in school. How many "Christian" police officers and military personnel will follow an unconstitutional order just to keep their job? How many "Christians" vote for politicians who smile at a child murdered in its mother womb thru abortion? How many tares are among the wheat? God have mercy.
