"Chloros (pale green) horse video"
I was very interested in the video that seems to show a pale green horse and rider in the crowd of protesters in Egypt.
I read fivedoves regularly, although I also listen to a post trib ministry www.endtime.com and Pastor Irving Baxter.
I
wanted to share what his ministry has been saying about the pale green
horse of Revelations. I believe that Baxter has been teaching
this for at least the last two years.
Most Bible
translations use the phrase "pale horse" in the well known scriptures
pertaining to the four horses of the Apocalypse. A few years ago
Baxter discovered that the Greek word interpreted as "pale" is actually
"chloros", and it is translated "green" in all the other places in
scripture. Perhaps the translators hesitated at writing a green
or pale green horse since such a creature does not exist in nature.
Baxter
thinks it should have been translated as "green" and says this color is
symbolic of Islam. For example, green was Muhammad's
favorite color, it is in most flags of the Muslim countries, and we see
it worn by Hamas.
He teaches that the four horses are symbolic of: Black=capitalism, Red=communism, white=Catholicism, and green=Islam
Now
the question, "Could the video be a sign for those who are watching for
the Lord's return?" I don't agree with everyone who sees the
Virgin Mary in a grilled cheese sandwich, but this video is definitely
different. Nothing is impossible with God, including
speaking to us through photographs and videos.
Several
years ago I had an aunt whom I often talked to about spiritual subjects
and the Christian faith that she had followed as a child. I
thought it was interesting that in a few photographs of me, there were
some "signs" that she noticed and even shocked her. In one, I was
in front of a Christmas tree and an "angel" actually looked like it was
on my shoulder. In another outdoor photo, the sunlight from
the roof actually reflected down on my shoulder like a beam of
light. She gasped when she saw that one! I don't say this
to promote myself, but I believe God was showing her that I was the one
who was speaking the words of Life and Light. bc
