And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 5 is found in chapter 6 of Revelation. The third seal shows a black horse and a balance scale. A voice announces extraordinarily high prices for wheat and barley while limiting the damage to the oil and wine. The image corresponds to a situation of scarcity and rising prices for basic foods. The balance makes the economic crisis visible. The passage also shows that judgment does not necessarily affect all goods and groups in the same way, since the specific restrictions form part of the symbolism of the scene.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
Compare Revelation 6:5 in different Bible versions and see how its wording varies between translations. These differences can help you better understand the meaning and context of the passage.
