Rev 6:5-6 And when He had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, Come and see. And I looked, and lo, a black horse. And he sitting on it had a balance in his hand. (6) And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say, A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius. And do not hurt the oil and the wine.

This rider represents hunger and famine. The horse he rides is black, a color that describes a famine-racked body.

A scale would be used to measure and carefully dole out food. The denarius was a Roman silver coin equal in value to the daily wage of a working man. There will only be enough food for every day and this will be seen in the financial health of our Global Economy which is due to fail soon.

Trading in the U.S. fell, which was later mirrored by markets in the Far East.

Banking stocks were again the major casualties as the FTSE 100 Index slipped down again to below the 5,000 barrier, tumbling to 4,935 points.
The volatile FTSE opened at 5,083 and after fluctuating, sank to 4,935 points. Read More
