     And I looked and behold, a white horse.  He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
     When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come and see."
     Another horse, fiery red, went out.  And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
     When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see."  So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
     And I heard a voice in the midst of the four creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine."
     When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of of the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see."
     So I looked, and behold, a pale horse.  And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him.  And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with hunger, with death, and by beasts of the earth.
     When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.
              Revelation 6:2-9

     I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.
             Revelation 6:12

     Here is know and what I think, also.  Revelation will not happen before the return of Jesus.  It will happen, but during the 1000-year reign.  I always wondered about this while researching the Second Coming, and also wondering - does the Bible end with the return of Jesus? 
     I won't go into detail, because I don't want to and nobody is reading anyway; so this is basically a journal for me, and I know.  This definitely does have everything to do with what I know about the Second Coming.  But there are some obvious clues in this passage - the Bible doesn't lie. 
     Think about it - 1000 years is a long time.  Will the righteous reproduce during this time?  Will all this offspring be righteous, too?  I would hope so, but I think we all know better. 
     I could go on and on, but you would probably think it is all hearsay anyway.  It is important because people think they have time; oh, Jesus won't come back yet, prophecy has to be fulfilled.  Well, it does, but not the prophecy that people think (the timeframe).  All the prophecy in the Bible will be fulfilled; I am not disputing that, but when?  Tell God you love Him.

The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

     Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
