— Fire Pon Rome
As you read about the Black Horseman, let the music guide you deeper into the judgment it reveals.
When the third seal is opened, the rider emerges—not with violence, but with economic imbalance. The Black Horseman carries scales and imposes prices that make survival impossible for many.
This is a prophecy of injustice, not just hunger.
Revelation 6:5–6 – The Black Horse Appears
"When He opened the third seal… behold, a black horse! Its rider had a pair of scales… ‘A quart of wheat for a denarius, three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not harm the oil and the wine!’"
— Revelation 6:5–6 (ESV)
🔍 Breaking Down the Symbols
The Color Black
- Black in Scripture signals mourning, scarcity, despair.
- Unlike the Red Horseman, this expresses slow suffering.
The Scales ⚖
- Pair of scales measures grain—symbol of rationing.
- Echoes Leviticus/Ezekiel: famine as measured survival.
- Reflects economic control: survival as a luxury.
The Prices 💰
- A denarius equals a day’s wage.
- A quart of wheat feeds one person for a day—costs a full wage.
- Survival demands full labour—no savings or margin.
This isn’t just famine—it’s economic oppression.
Oil and Wine Clause
“Do not harm the oil and the wine.”
Two views:
-
Protection of Luxury Goods
- Oil & wine deemed non‐essentials.
- Suggests wealthy remain untouched.
-
Mercy Amid Judgment
- Suffering is not total—some resources preserved.
- A window for repentance.
🔄 Interpretations of the Black Horseman
1. Literal Famine
- End‑time food shortages (Matthew 24:7).
2. Economic Collapse & Injustice
- Systems that exploit the poor.
- Modern parallels: inflation, suppressed wages, hoarding.
3. Prophetic Exposure of Corrupt Systems
- This rider reveals injustice.
- Exposes profiteering during scarcity.
"Dem sell out truth fi silver chain / Trade di people fi profit gain…"
— Fire Pon Rome
This mirrors today: profit prioritized over people, justice buried under policy changes—especially since July 1, 2025.
Why This Rider Still Matters
Judgment doesn’t always come with fire—it comes with receipts and price tags.
A day’s wage that won’t buy bread signals judgment is underway.
What You Can Do — Prophetic Creativity in the Age of Collapse
