REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Three -The Second Woe -Armies of Cavalry= Conclusion

 So what does this cavalry symbolize? Just as the anointed John class started the trumpetlike proclamation  of Jehovah's judgment of divine vengeance against Christendom, with authority to 'sting and hurt,' so we would expect the same living group to be  used the 'killing,' that is, in making known that Christendom and its clergy are completely dead spiritually, cast off by Jehovah and ready for "the fiery furnace" of everlasting destruction.  Indeed, all of Babylon the Great must perish.  (Revelation 9:5, 10; 18:2, 8; Matthew 13:41-43) Preliminary to her destruction, however the John class uses the sword of the spirit, that is God's word," in exposing Christendom's deathlike condition. the four angels and the riders of the horses give directions to this figurative killing of "a third of the men," (Ephesians 6:17; Revelation 9:15, 18) This indicates proper organization and theocratic direction  under the oversight of the Lord Jesus Christ as the awesome band of Kingdom proclaimers charges forth to the battle.
