Revelation 6

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

A flag of white, red, black, and green

In Revelation 6, when the scroll bound with seven seals is opened, an event connected with judgment would take place on the earth. The first four seals are linked to four horses and their riders. The colours of the four horses are white, red, black, and green. Not only do the coloured horses manifest themselves throughout the seven church ages, but each of the colours are displayed on the anti-Israel flag of Palestine that was adopted by the Palestinian Liberation Organization in 1964, and consists of a triangle, three stripes, and four colours linked to four Arab dynasties.

The last of the four horses is called in Greek, “huppos khloros” (Revelation 6:8). The word “khloros” is commonly translated here as “pale.” But “khloros” means something other than pale. Every other time it appears in the New Testament, it is translated otherwise. It is used to describe the colour of grass, such as in Revelation 8:7, where all the green (“khloros”) grass was burnt up.

The Palestinian flag, that was created to nullify the nation of Israel and that is waved around the world in rage against the nation of Israel, happens to bear the four colours of the four horses connected with judgment and destruction in Revelation 6. Not only does the Palestinian flag bear these four colours, but the nations of the world that fly these four colours on their flags (Libya, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Western Sahara, Afghanistan) are almost exclusively the same that have opposed Israel and that have actively waged war against it, or are prophesied to do so at the end of the age.
