This morning, five horses of the UK’s Household Cavalry, spooked by building materials dropped loudly down a rubbish chute nearby, threw their riders off their saddles, and then bolted through the busy streets of London, running into cars and buses. Two of the five, one white and covered in blood and the other black galloped more than five miles on their own, going past Buckingham Palace and even reaching east London before they were calmed down and also recovered (ref. 1). Three soldiers who were riding the horses and one civilian on bicycle were sent to hospital. Bystanders described the situation as surreal. Some remarked that it looked apocalyptic, evocative of the four horsemen (ref. 2). Actually, that is probably the point of it all.
The white horse covered in red blood speaks to Jesus Christ in Revelation 19, wearing a vesture dipped in blood.
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Revelation 19:11-13
Or else, the white horse with red blood alludes to the first and second horsemen of the apocalypse in Revelation 6. The first, which is white in colour, is Russia; and the second, which is red in colour, is China.
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.
Revelation 6:1-2
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.
Revelation 6:3-4
The black horse running nearby is meant to be either Satan, the adversary of God, or else the third horseman of the apocalypse, which is the USA or Mystery Babylon, the place of the mark of the beast.
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. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Revelation 6:5-6
For those wondering, the fourth horsemen, the pale one, is the Assyrian, the Antichrist himself. The fourth part of the earth that the Assyrian will control is the world of Islam in these last days.
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: 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.
Revelation 6:7-8
So, the first two horsemen are on the side of God, and the last two are on the side of Satan. These four coincide with the four animals in Job 39: the eagle, the horse, the ostrich and the unicorn. This is the essence of World War 3!
There are three things to be said about this news.
First, what startled the horses and got them to bolt was rubbish thrown down at a construction site. This is possibly an allusion to “the waster” (ref. Isaiah 54:15), ie. me. So, this is something that I am to notice and talk about.
Second, today 25 April 2024, is ANZAC day, here in Australia. So, today is a day that connects Australia and the UK – a day that commemorates Gallipoli WW1 and ideally Beersheba 1917, the world’s last successful cavalry charge, a battle fundamental to the liberation of Jerusalem from the Ottomans.
Third, and this is the kicker, it so happens that I just finished watching a brand new British-made TV series titled Red Eye (2024).
This thriller and mystery provocatively involves the USA, China, and the UK. In other words, the CIA, MSS, MI6, MI5, London Police, and even ordinary individuals.
If you want to enjoy the twists and turns, stop reading further, go and watch it and then come back.
I must detail the plot, twists and all, if I am to say anything.
In Red Eye (2024), the protagonist is an English Detective Constable, Hana Li, who is of Chinese origin. The name “Hannah” is Hebrew, and it means “grace” or “favour”. Hana is given the task by the British government of escorting one Dr Matthew Nolan, a British national, on a red eye (US slang for a flight with no sleep) back to Beijing to face questions over a car crash and the death of a Chinese national, who is a Ministry of State Security agent. Four other British nationals who were with Dr Nolan at his speaking conference have been requested to also return to China to testify against him. The UK agrees to send the five back to China, because a deal between the UK and China to build a nuclear power plant is being brokered. During the flight, one by one, the four who were with Dr Nolan in China are all murdered by an assassin lurking in the plane. On board also is an armed air marshal from China. Though Hana and the air marshal work together at first to try to solve the murders, it turns out that the air marshal is ex-PLA and a contract mercenary working with the assassin. So, now there seems to be a UK versus China thing going on onboard an international flight to China with a China-based captain and crew. Surreptitiously, MI5 becomes involved and also a would-be journalist, Hana’s sister. Back in England, the office of a front for a certain MI6 operation is mysteriously raided. Subsequently, an MI6 officer is shot in his house by an unknown sniper. It is then revealed that the MSS agent that was killed in China secretly passed on some sort of sensitive information to one of the five British nationals under an MI6 programme codenamed “Blindside”. The person who received the secret does not know that he has been made a courier for MI6. This is the nature and purpose of Blindside. Though the head of MI5 suspects that it is MI6 that has crossed the line and is now trying to clean up and hide their mess no matter the cost to British lives, it turns out that the assassins work for the CIA, or at least for one particular section of the CIA. It is the CIA that has been trying to intercept the message from China to the UK. It is the CIA that killed the MSS agent in China. And it is the CIA that is murdering the British nationals on the plane in such a way so as to frame China in the eyes of the British government. The idea is to spoil any possible friendship and cooperation between the UK and China. One more thing: the message from China to the UK is that code has been discovered that could hijack the system of the British nuclear power plant and cause it to meltdown, and this code came from the Americans, specifically the CIA.
Reviewers of Red Eye (2024) describe the plot as “preposterous” and “ludicrous” (ref. 3). It seems, they cannot believe that the UK would extradite or give up innocent civilians like this. Except there is the case of Julian Assange! They cannot believe the USA is able and willing to hijack the computer system of utility to destroy that utility. Except the CIA can actually do this sort of thing, “Vault 7”! Indeed, it is Wikileaks’ publication of the leak of Vault 7 that prompted the process of extraditing Assange. In war, for those who don’t know, utilities are very much fair game, as the Nordstream pipeline shows. Never mind the Geneva Conventions and all that.
This world can no longer tell good from evil. What is more, many refuse to solve the mystery of Babylon, which is fundamental to salvation in these last days.
For COVID-19 alone, America deserves to be punished (ref. Revelation 18:21, Mark 9:42, Isaiah 47:10). Then there is the ongoing cost of living crisis, spread internationally by America’s Modern Monetary Theory and the likes of Visa, Mastercard and American Express, every one of them American companies (ref. Revelation 18:7). Not to mention the cultural agendas of LGBTQ, same sex marriage, and woke-ism (ref. Revelation 17:4-5). Do not forget either the spread of Islam after WW2, even the creation of ISIS itself in 2014 (ref. Revelation 17:3, Nahum 3:4-5).
This world has been blinded by the Devil.
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
2 Corinthians 4:2-4
Now is a time of darkness. Yet there is some light, namely me.
… I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
Isaiah 49:6
For a while now, I have explained the truth about Russia and China in these last days – that they are the prophesied kings of the east, destined by God, the LORD of hosts, to oppose the Antichrist in the coming final three and half years.
Those who do not know what is going on cannot possibly save anyone. Can the blind ever lead the blind?
But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Matthew 15:13-15
The question for the UK and Australia is this: Which of the two horses will you follow in these last days? The black one? Or the white one, covered in blood? Because one is evil, and the other is good.
At this time of vengeance and redemption, know that red is the colour of victory and glory!
Jesus Christ himself will be clothed in a vesture dipped in blood (ref. Revelation 19:11-16, Isaiah 63:1-4).
Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
Isaiah 63:1-4
It is the will of God that in these last days, kings are to listen to me!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name [光, “light”]… Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise [listen to me], princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.
Isaiah 49:1-7
