Holy Bible, Revelations, Chapter # 6, Verses: 7 & 8, Interpretation

Verse # 7: When the Lamb broke the fourth seal. I heard the voice of the fourth living Creature
Saying Come.
Verse # 8: I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death;
and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a Fourth of
The earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with Pestilence and by the Wild
Beasts of the earth.

Interpretation:
The ashen horse (Pale Horse) is referring to a nation that becomes an Empire. And its name was
Death and Hell was following with him. The salient factor in this verse of Revelation that reveals
exactly whom this Empire is referring to is the reference to authority being given to a fourth part
of the earth; and this is exactly the area of the earth that the British Empire controlled at the
height of its power. The British Empire controlled of the earth the equivalent to 13,000,000
square miles.
Wherever the British went they brought hell with them to the people whom they colonized. The
British are the originators of the African slave trade for commercial profit and the agony that this
brought to multitudes of people. They are also the people whom first initiated the international
narcotics trade. The British East Indies Trade Company transported opium from British Colonial
India to all of Southeast Asia and China. And this is how they financed the exports of : Chinese
silk , spices, tea, and porcelains with the addiction of opium for the Chinese people. In the mid
1800s , Britain in alliance with : U.S.A. , Netherlands, France , Russia, and Japan fought the
Opium War to force the Chinese sovereign authorities to accept importation of opium and as a
result of this war the Treaty of Nan King was imposed on the Chinese . And this was how the
British obtained the colony of Hong Kong which they held and controlled until 1997.

Opium Wars
Opium Wars (1839-1843) and (1856-1860), two wars fought between Great Britain
and China in which Western powers gained significant commercial privileges and
territory. The Opium Wars began when Chinese government tried to stop the illegal
importation of opium by British merchants.
The First Opium War started in 1839 when the Chinese government confiscated
opium warehouses in Guangzhou (Canton). Britain responded by sending an
expedition of warships to the city in February 1840. The British won a quick
1

victory and the conflict was ended by the Treaty of Nanking (Nanjing) on August
29, 1842. By this Treaty, and a supplementary one signed on October 08, 1843,
China was forced to pay a large indemnity, open five ports to British trade and
residence, and cede Hong Kong to Great Britain. The Treaty also gave British
citizens in China the right to be tried in British courts. Other Western powers
demanded, and were granted, similar privileges.
In October 1856, Guangzhou police boarded the British ship Arrow and charged its
crew with smuggling. Eager to gain more trading rights, the British used the
incident to launch another offensive, precipitating the Second Opium War. British
forces, aided by the French, won another quick military victory in 1857. When the
Chinese government refused to ratify the Treaty of Tientsin, which had been signed
in 1858, hostilities resumed. In 1860, after British and French troops had occupied
Beijing and burned the Summer Palace, the Chinese agreed to ratify the treaty. The
treaty opened additional trading ports, allowed foreign emissaries to reside in
Beijing, admitted Christian missionaries into China, and opened travel to the
Chinese interior. Later negotiations legalized the importation of opium.

You can reflect on what the English done to other peoples right in the British Isles for example to
the Scottish and Irish people. The British numerical superiority of out numbering the Scots 10:1
enabled them to impose their authority upon the Scottish nation. In Ireland they exploited and
terrorized the people The great famine of the 1840s was not just caused by the failure of the
potato crop the real source of the famine was British expropriation of the : wheat, livestock, and
other crops. The English only left the Irish with the potato to eat and when the crop was struck
with pestilence and their other crops and livestock were stolen by the British for exports to
England this caused the Irish to starve. And their abuse of the Irish continues right to this day
particularly in Belfast and Ulster.
Look at the devastation the British have caused to every part of the world they invaded and
colonized them and deployed genocide on the North American continent in reducing the
Native Aboriginal population. The British were the people whom first utilized biological
warfare by distributing blankets to indigenous populations that were infested with smallpox virus
to kill the North American Indians. Anglo-Saxons whether they are Americans, English,
Australians, Canadians, or South Africans have perpetrated egregious evil upon the native
populations within their territories that were invaded and colonized. Look at the Canadian
governments attempt to destroy the Aboriginal People and culture by forcefully taking their
children and placing them in residential schools.
Look at the exploitation of the Indian sub-continent by the British for their economic benefit at
the hardship of the Indian People. They forced the Indian people to produce cotton crops for

England to supply the English textile mills which manufactured clothing and cotton materials
which the Indian people were forced to purchase all their finished textiles from English
manufactures. They were not allowed to produce any finished products for themselves. This was
the commercial trade practices of the British Empire which made England so prosperous in the
industrialization period during the 1800s and continuing up until the colonies were able to
achieve independence.
Look at the British exploitation of the Middle East for their petroleum products. The British
carved up the petroleum producing nations between themselves and the Americans. And lets not
forget that when we refer to Americans their controlling plutocracy (Government of the rich or
their lackeys) we are dealing with Anglo-Saxons in other words cut from the same bolt of cloth
so to speak as the English. The situation in Iraq today very much reminds one of the period
following the First World War.
The British exploited the region with formation of Iraq and they separated the territory which
composes modern Kuwait from Iraq which was an integral part of Iraq. The British attacked the
Arab peoples with aerial bombing when these people didnt have any modern weapons
whatsoever. It reminds me of the present day war against Iraq when America attacked them with
Cruise Missiles which they have no defense against.

Following from Encarta:

In the latter part of the 19th century Britain and Germany became rivals in the commercial
development of the Mesopotamian area. The British were first became interested in Iraq as
a direct overland route to India and in 1861 established a steamship company for the
navigation of the Tigris river to the port of Basra. Meanwhile, Germany was planning the
construction of a railway in the Middle East, to run From Berlin to Baghdad, and
overcoming British opposition obtained a concession to build a railway to the Persian Gulf.
Despite this defeat, the British government managed to consolidate its position in the Persian
Gulf area by concluding treaties of protection with local Arab chieftains. British financiers were
also successful in obtaining, in 1901, a concession to exploit the oilfields of Iran; in 1909 the
Anglo-Persian Oil Company (Later the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company) was formed to work it.
After Turkey entered World War One as an ally of the German Empire, British forces
invaded southern Mesopotamia in November 1914 and gradually pushed northwards against
heavy Turkish opposition. In March 1917 the British occupied Baghdad. Mesopotamia was
fully under British military control by October 1918.

Events leading up to First World War, Taken from Encarta Encyclopedia

Tension was already extremely high on June 28, 1914, when the heir to the Austrian throne,
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and his wife were assassinated by a Serb nationalist, Gavrilo
Princip, at Sarajevo, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the Sarajevo Incident. The Austrian
government, holding Serbia responsible, declared war and in August invaded the country, thus
precipitating World War I . The Serbs repelled the invaders until October 1915, when Bulgaria
also invaded. By December, the country had been occupied by the Central Powers; the Serbian
army and government fled to the Greek Island of Corfu in 1916.

The Hidden Ulterior Motivations to Initiate the First World War

The history that is taught in schools concerning for example the First World War is a
deception of the actual facts. Students are taught that the reason for the First World War
was the assassination of the Arch Duke Ferdinand in Serbia which was part of the AustroHungarian Empire at the time. This was the pretense presented to the public for the cause
of the First World War the alliances of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire that
they were opposed by Britain and France because of their alliance.
Now the reality of the First World War was that for a period of 25 years prior to
1914 and the beginning of the war both France and England collaborated jointly in an
effort to initiate a war with Germany. The reason they were attempting to cause a war with
Germany was because of Germanys progress in commercial international markets.
Germany until 1866 was not a unified nation it was composed of individual states such as
Prussia, Bavaria, Holstein, Bremen and other small principalities. In 1866, Count Otto Von
Bismarck instituted the North German Confederation and in 1870 he unified all the
individual states to form the nation of Germany. Once Germany, became a unified nation
their success in commercial trade really accelerated with industrialization facilitating their
increases in production of steel enabling the marketing of their products worldwide to the
detriment of British and French exports. Germany was surpassing both France and Britain
in exports of chemicals, electrical machinery, and their commercial marine shipping were
increasing steadily taking business from both France and England.
A very salient factor in Britain wanting to initiate a war with Germany was that plans were
under way to construct a railway from Berlin to Baghdad Iraq. The section from Istanbul
to Baghdad would enable the shipment of petroleum products by tanker railcar to
continental Europe with the junction of rail lines running from Istanbul / Constantinople to
other points in Europe such as Berlin. This potential railway which would facilitate the
transportation of oil to Europe without any need to transport by marine vessels which
represented a challenge to Britains economic international commerce domination because
Britannia ruled the waves as the song goes in that period of history. This is the real cause of
the First World War the jealousy of both France and England to the economic commercial
ascension to world markets by Germanys progress in international commerce.

Conclusion of the First World War

At the conclusion of the First World War, the Ottoman Empire of Turkey was divided up and
parceled out to the victors of the war France and England. England took Iraq and France took
Syria and separated the territory of modern day Lebanon from the nation of Syria. And England
also exercised hegemony over Iran they had exploited the Persians / Iranians to obtain sweetheart
deals for exploration of their nation for petroleum products. Iraq had the territory which
comprises the nation of Kuwait taken from them by the British. The separation of Lebanon and
Kuwait from their original nations of Syria and Iraq respectively thus separated them from
having access to ocean going transportation port facilities thus creating a economic wedge
between themselves and their original nations but providing economic power to both France and
Britain as there new colonial masters replacing the Ottoman Empire.
The British had promised the Arab nations that if they fought with them against the
Central Powers of Germany, Austria, and Turkey, that they would emancipate them from
the yoke of the Ottoman Empire at the conclusion of the First World War. So you see the
treachery of the English deception of their very own allies giving their lives to assist
England in her time of need and subsequently stabbing her friends in the back.
This is just a few examples of the history of the British Empire that demonstrates the Biblical
prophecy of its predictions as fore told in Revelation, Chapter # 6, Verses, 7 & 8. If you wanted
to do more historical research there is much more evil in various parts of the world that the
British have been responsible for during the course of their Empire. And make no mistake about
it their evil is still continuing right up to present day especially with their collaboration with the
United Snakes of America/ United States of America whatever is your preference.
When you refer to the section of the Revelation, Chapter # 6, Verses 7 & 8, realize the
symbolism of Wild Beasts of the Earth this is referring to powerful nations and empires just as
in the book of Daniel it uses descriptions of beasts to symbolize nations and empires as it
prophesize the coming of the Roman Empire and Greek Empire under Alexander the Great.
