Birth Pangs of the End Times: The Black Horse of Revelation - Episode 5 Podcast


Listen Later

This episode dives deep into the meaning of the Black Horse of Revelation 6:5–6—a symbol of end-time famine and spiritual judgment. The team explores how this isn't just about food shortages and inflation, but also about a famine of hearing the word of God (Amos 8).

Scripture, history, and modern trends are brought together to warn of both physical calamities and a spiritual collapse coming within the church—the great falling away of 2 Thessalonians 2:3.
