Episode 08/07/25; Steve Taylor’s Last Days News – The Red Horse Revealed: Esau, Edom, and the Coming Sword

In this videocast, Pastor Steve Taylor and co-host Colleen trace the “fiery red” rider of Revelation 6:3–4 through Scripture, history, and present trends. Building on Genesis 25–27, Jeremiah 30, Ezekiel 35, Obadiah, Zechariah 1 & 6, and Matthew 24, they explore how Esau/Edom’s ancient enmity against Jacob/Israel may echo in the second seal’s worldwide loss of peace—where men “slay” (sphazō) one another and a “great sword” (machaira) spreads ritual violence.

Key topics discussed in this episode include:

• Decoding the Text: What “pyros” (fiery red), “sphazō” (ritual slaughter), and “machaira” (short sacrificial blade) reveal about the red horse and its mission.
• The Esau/Edom Pattern: From the birthright to “Jacob’s trouble,” with foreshadows in Doeg, Haman, and Herod—and prophetic judgments in Obadiah and Amos.
• Ethnos vs. Ethnos: How Jesus’ warning of a nation (ethnos) rising against nation aligns with civil/ethnic conflict and jihad-style violence in the last days.
• Seals, Feasts, and Timing: A working hypothesis that the first seal may have opened recently, a covenant was “strengthened,” and the second seal’s effects could crest on a feast-day cadence.
• Readiness, Not Fear: Repentance, prayer, discernment, and unity under God as the only antidotes to deception, division, and lawlessness.

Join Dr. Steve Taylor as he follows the breadcrumbs from Genesis to Revelation, urging believers to wake up, cling to Christ, and prepare their hearts—because the horses aren’t merely saddled; the red one may already be riding.
