"Eight is the number of new beginnings. Every time there is new light, a fresh moving of God, a mighty reformation, a great and glorious revival in the midst of the Lord’s people who dwell in Babylon — there is a separation, a coming out, and a new thing is birthed. We see it in the Waldenses, the Huguenots, and various other groups throughout church history. We see it in the Reformation when the Protestant churches came out of the Roman Catholic Church with the great truth that the just shall live by faith. The Anabaptists, the Quakers, the Methodists, the Plymouth Brethren, the Puritans, the Pentecostals, and many, many other groups came forth out of the historic Protestant church systems as they received new truth and sought to follow the Lord into new realms in the spirit. Each of these is represented by the “eighth” — a new beginning. And yet, as church history unerringly confirms, every new move of God has subsequently gone into apostasy!"
"It is a great and terrible mystery — the eighth is OF THE SEVEN. There is the key to the mystery! It does not mean that the eighth is “one of the seven.” Oh, no! The preposition “of” is from the Greek “ek” meaning “out of,” and must be understood, as so frequently in John’s writings, to denote origin and identity of nature; this eighth beast is not different in nature from the seven, but is the concentrated essence of them, and therefore destined to not maintain its cuddly innocence and childlike purity, but to go into apostasy — into perdition. It should be very evident to us all that this “eighth” beast, this new beginning, when a people are drawn out of a religious system into a new walk in the spirit, in most cases contains right within it the seed of the Babylonish system out from which they came. Thus they are the eighth — but the new thing is of the seven — same old business under a new regime — and the latter is of the same spirit as the former! Now tell me that isn’t a mystery! The new move has the same potentiality and proclivity for carnality and sectarianism built right in from the very beginning because both the nature of the harlot and the nature of the beast lurk within the heart of every man. So through the generations, rising up in many expressions, the harlot and her beast are within us! And that, my beloved, is the mystery! The various religious kingdoms of man have brought to the full (seven heads, seven mountains, ten horns) the workings of Mystery Babylon the Great!"
Much more in the link:
"The ten kings in the mystery are but the governing powers of your natural life, the ten inward kings of man’s flesh nature."
"The kings of man’s life are conquered by the Lamb!"
"Special attention must be paid to this word “overcome.” The Greek word is nikao, the word used in the peculiar statement of the elder in Revelation 5:5 wherein he says that the Lamb has “prevailed” to open the book with the seven seals. The word means to “prevail,” to “overcome,” or to “conquer.” It is the same word used when the Rider on the white horse goes forth “conquering and to conquer.” It is the same word used repeatedly in chapters two and three of the overcomer where at the termination of each of the messages to the seven churches the Spirit proclaims, “To him that overcometh…” “ To him that conquers!” “To him that prevails!” Ah, the Rider on the white horse is going forth overcoming and to overcome, prevailing and to prevail, conquering and to conquer! The term denotes grammatically AN UNENDING SERIES OF CONQUESTS, UNINTERRUPTED BY ANY DEFEATS, WHOSE VICTORIES SHOULD BE PERMANENT AND LAST FOREVER! That is the victory of the Lamb!"
That's nice, but the rider on the White horse is the antichrist. Jesus Christ has many crowns not just one. Nowhere in the scripture does it describe Jesus Christ needing a bow. The scriptures describe Nimrod as a mighty hunter, and Nimrod is a type of the antichrist. The next three seals that are opened bring famine, death and hell. These are not victories.
Which Bible is our boy using?

Andy, Preston Eby spends a good while on the Breaking of the seals, the above link is where he starts. The 4 horsemen are the first four seals I think........right?
All four horses and horsemen are Jesus Christ taking the land. It's a great and deep study, you'd expect the carnal mind and Babylon doctrine to make it backwards from Christ being victorious in our earth.
Go back in the study and see how Eby handles the horsemen...........I can do it for you, but probably not this weekend, we're going camping :)
