Introduction A Repeat Message on The Year of the Horse (1978, 1990, 2002, 2014) (1)The Significance of the Horse Year (a) The Horse in History. The Mongols Alexander the Great The Great Wall of China

(a) The Horse in History  The Astrologer says: People born in the Year of the Horse are…  Popular, cheerful, skillful with money, perceptive, wise, talented, good with their hands;  Sometimes talk too much, have a weakness for members of the opposite sex;  Impatient and hot-blooded about everything except their daily work.  Like entertainment and large crowds.  Very independent and rarely listen to advice.  Most compatible with Tigers, Dogs, and Sheep. (b) The Horse in Horoscopes and Astrology, etc.

(1) The Significance of the Horse. (2) The Symbols of the Horse – (a) The Horse in Astrology, And Horoscope, etc.  Ranked 7 th among the 12 animals in Chinese astrology, the horse is viewed as a symbol of bravery and strength.  Traits such as intelligence, endurance, speed and perseverance are associated with the horse. The Scriptures Against Spiritism, Astrology!  Deut. 18:9-14 – Spiritism, an Abomination  Deut. 18:15-19 – The Sage Anticipated.  Deut. 18:20-22 – The Standard Administered.

 (2) The Symbols of the Horse – (a) The Horse in Astrology: (b) The Horse in Biblical Imagery: The Horse is a… i. Symbol of Speed.Isa. 30:16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift. ii. Strength and Safety.Psa. 33:17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

(3) The Scripture and the Horse. 1st. of 154 occ. Gen 49:17; Last occ. Rev. 19:21 Occurrences of Horses in KJV text: Horse - 43 occ. in 41 verses; 1st. and last in OT - Gen. 49:17; Zech. 14:15; in NT in Rev. 6:2; 19:21 Horses – 111 occ. in 105 verses; 1st and last in OT - Gen. 47:17; Zech. 14:20; in NT in Jas. 3:3; Rev. 19:18 Origin: The Jews may have obtained horses from Egypt (Deut. 17:16), Canaanites before them had horses (Josh 17:16)

In Deut. 17:16 it is enjoined that the king “shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses.” Uses: almost exclusively war- horses, or the property of kings and not of the common people. Horses given by Egyptians to Joseph for bread (grain, Gen 47:17).

A. BE NOT LIKE THE HORSE though A HORSE IS SPEEDY Psa. 32:9; Jer. 8:6 1. Used of a People Quick to do their Own Thing. Jer. 8:6b cf. 7:23:24 (-28) every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth to battle. They refused to… a. Obey God's Word. 7: 23, 24a b. Walk in God's Ways. 7: 23b, 24b c. Follow God so that they might be Well. 7: 23c, 24c  Well (yatab): Fr. root, to make well, lit. (sound, beautiful) or fig. (happy, successful, right)  In this Year of the Horse, God wants to wish us Well - A Happy and Prosperous (Successful) Chinese New Year 23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, (a) Obey my voice,…and (b) walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, (c) that it may be well unto you. But they (a) hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but (b) walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and (c) went backward, and not forward.

2. Used of a People not Quickened to the Signs of the Times. Jer. 8:16 "The Horses are Coming" The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.

Revelation 6:2-8 The Horses are Coming… 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. 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. b. The Red Horse of “bloody” Power is Coming.6:3, 4 i. Power to take away Peace. ii. Power to kill People.

The Horses are Coming…  And I saw…  lo a black horse;  and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand: a denarius…  For a measure of wheat;  For 3 measures of barley  and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
