Egypt and the Green Horse of the Apocalypse


On Wednesday, February 2, 2011, a live TV broadcast captured a strange and haunting image during the protests in Cairo—a horseman riding what appeared to be a green horse moving through the crowds. Some viewers connected this mysterious figure to the "Green Horse" mentioned in the Book of Revelation. Whether the video depicts a supernatural event or a visual anomaly, its symbolism invites reflection—particularly concerning Egypt's future.

In Revelation 6:7–8, the fourth seal reveals a rider on a pale green horse, whose name is Death. The color symbolizes the sickly pallor of a corpse—an image of decay and mortality. Death, as Scripture teaches, entered the world through the disobedience of Adam:

“You must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it, you will surely die” (Genesis 2:17, NIV).

“Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12, NIV).

But the same passage in Revelation also points toward God’s redemptive plan. While Adam’s trespass brought death to all, God’s grace through Jesus Christ brings life to many:

“If the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!” (Romans 5:15, NIV).

Jesus humbled Himself, becoming obedient even to death on a cross (Philippians 2:8). He tasted death for everyone (Hebrews 2:9), and through His sacrifice, death was defeated:

“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive” (1 Corinthians 15:22, NKJV).

Whether the horseman in the Cairo video was real or not, the message behind the Green Horse remains significant. It serves as a powerful reminder that Christ died for all, including the people of Egypt. For a renewed future, the call is clear: believe in Christ and accept His death as the source of life.

This is our prayer and our hope—for Egypt, and for all.

Pastoral Statement on the East Brunswick Tragedy

Image
With heavy hearts, we mourn the tragic event that took place in East Brunswick on   Friday, February 28, 2025 , where a wife lost her life at the hands of her husband. As a church, we extend our deepest   sympathies and condolences   to her family, loved ones, and all those affected by this heartbreaking act of violence. In this time of sorrow, we turn to the   comfort of God’s Word   and the hope found in Christ. 1. God Feels Our Grief and Will Redeem Creation In moments of deep sorrow, we take refuge in the truth that God sees our pain, hears our cries, and is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Though the world is marred by sin and violence, God is at work to redeem creation from its corruption (Romans 8:21-23). We hold onto the promise that Christ will return and make all things new, bringing justice, healing, and an end to suffering (Revelation 21:4-5). 2. The Church Condemns Domestic Violence and All Acts of Harm The Church...

A Message to President-Elect Trump

Image
Dear President-Elect Trump, We thank God for His protection over you, especially during the recent assassination attempt, and for His guidance during these times. Congratulations on your election victory and the renewed trust the American people have placed in you. As you prepare to lead our great nation, I respectfully encourage you to stand firm on the principles of biblical truth, especially on issues such as the sanctity of life, the God-given nature of gender, and the sacredness of marriage. In a world that often drifts from these values, I hope that your administration will be a beacon for preserving the unchanging principles that God has established. Furthermore, I urge you to consider empowering parents in their right to educate their children according to their beliefs. Supporting families in choosing educational paths outside of government institutions—perhaps through financial support or tax benefits—would uphold parental authority and strengthen our nation’s commitment to f...

Heart of the Shephard: Introduction - Under Print

Image
Character and Life of the New Testament Priest Introduction Priesthood is a sacred and profound calling, requiring a life of dedication, personal holiness, and self-sacrifice. From the moment of ordination, the priest enters into a unique and transformative relationship with Christ, the Good Shepherd, who laid down His life for His sheep (John 10:11). This book, Heart of the Shepherd: Character and Life of the New Testament Priest , explores the depth of this calling, grounded in Scripture, the wisdom of the Church Fathers, and the Church’s liturgical tradition. At the center of the priest’s ministry is a reflection of God the Father’s love. As Christ revealed the Father’s love and care in His earthly ministry (John 14:9-10), so too the priest embodies and reflects this love in his ministry. The priest’s role is one of spiritual fatherhood, caring for the souls entrusted to him with the same compassion and dedication that Christ demonstrated. Through the sacraments, preaching, and past...
