Chapter 2

Harm from the second horseman consists that he takes away peace from the earth and sows war so that should kill each other. Color of a horse under this horseman is red, by other translations "fiery-red", is color of fire and specifies on Molech (was considered as "the god of war») to which honor Israelis pass through the fire of the sons and the daughters, Jer.32:35, 2Ki.23:10. Israelis for a long time, since times of Moses, did this abomination; Lev.18:21; 20:2. Cult of Molech has been so widespread, what even Solomon has constructed an high place for Molech, 1Ki.11:7. Already in new testament’s time, Stephen, facing to the council, too has reminded of this sin of Israelis: « Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven … Yea, you took up the tabernacle of Moloch », Acts.7:42,43. Out of this place of the Writings it is visible, that Moloch it is named among troops heavenly, that is angels. So, a name of second horseman is Moloch. By some signs, it is possible to name and the first horseman: the matter is that on his head he has a crown, Rev.6:2, and some took to say, that it is the Christ (as, in their opinion, the Christ can be the king only). But it is enough to glance in 9th chapter of the book of Revelation, 11th verse to be convinced, that the bottomless pit too has the king, the angel of the bottomless pit, which name is Abaddon (in a Jewish way" bottomless pit") - the lord of an underworld, and in a Greek way has his name Apollyon (ruiner). Certainly, his name corresponds to that work which he carries out: having passed himself off as the Christ, he thereby ruins souls (those that have believed to him).
