Reading Revelation 6:8-11 (RR15)

Death.  The final "horseman of the apocalypse."  Kings, war, famine, and now...  death.  And Hades close behind.  The judgments of God on a sinful humankind.  Why will God bring death?  For His faithful followers have themselves been killed.  War has been waged against God's people.  So God brings war against those who destroy His people.  The witnesses who were loyal to the bitter end cry out to God for justice.  When will God act?  When will God make things right?  The persecuted church cries out.
