148.VIKING BOER – ISLAM WATCH – Umar on the Black Horse of Revelation

*****************************
WHITE, RED, BLACK, PALE GREEN
Umar was the second caliph and followed Abu Bakr. Umar ruled from 634 to 644. Revelation tells us the third rider is on a black horse with a pair of scales. The scales calculate Umar’s taxes.
Revelation 6:5-6 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.
Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds {quart} of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds (3 quarts} of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”)
Among the many things Umar did was impose a new tax system. (Daniel 11:40 He will make them rulers over many people and will distribute the land at a price.)
