How does the last part of Matthew 24:7 relate to the third horse in Revelation?
The last part of Matthew 24:7 predicts famines, pestilences, and earthquakes following wars. This corresponds to Revelation's third horse, the black horse under the third seal, whose rider holds a pair of balances, showing Matthew 24 and Revelation 6 are direct parallels.
Les teaches that Matthew 24 and Revelation 6 are direct parallels. He notes he had stopped in the middle of Matthew 24:7 with the red horse, then moves to the last part of verse 7, which says that after the wars there shall be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in diverse places. That ties to the third horse of Revelation. Turning to Revelation 6:5, John writes that when the third seal was opened, the third creature said, “Come and see,” and he beheld a black horse whose rider had a pair of balances in his hand. This fits the tribulation setting where events go beyond human understanding.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
