Summary
In this twenty-ninth lecture, Fr. Athanasios interprets Revelation 6:3-6, with Matthew 24:6-14, Matthew 10:21, and Matthew 20:2, through the Second Seal and the red horse. He explains the verb meaning slaughter as indicating savage and intimate killing, especially civil war, and presents the red horse as persecution following the white horse of Gospel proclamation. Matthew 24:14 is read to mean that the Gospel will be preached to all nations as witness, not necessarily accepted, with examples from Bible translations and Russian missions in Japan. Following Andrew of Caesarea and Michael Akominatos, he treats the Four Horsemen as cyclical realities intensifying toward the end, and introduces the Third Seal's famine.
