Dark Horsemen, Raining Tear Drops, and Brilliant Light
Lance Sneath
I sat in a coffee shop in Hawaii having my morning quiet time and meditating on the Scripture from Leviticus 6:13, "The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out." I suddenly had the following vision.
I saw dark horses carrying dark horsemen riding across the sky. There were thousands upon thousands, like a swarm of locusts. They were faceless riders, and they were riding hard with occasional glances over their shoulders as though checking to see if they were being pursued. As I looked at this horrendous horde of what was surely meant for evil, my heart began to sink with fear and sorrow. These were a scourge of evil assembled and now being loosed, pursuing destruction like a sweeping plague or forest fire. I saw them divide and enter many cities, as if to divide and conquer. I watched them ride right into every sort of building in the most unusual ways, like slipping through cracked open doors or windows left open. The buildings were representative of all human institutions. I saw them enter businesses, homes, factories, schools, airports, bus stations, rail stations, government buildings, hospitals, and yes, even churches.
In every building of man that these dark horseman entered they left an unmistakable mark. They left huge dark smears of dark filthy residue around the doorways and windows. The buildings and even the communities they had entered looked as though a huge fire-breathing dragon had walked through and scorched the buildings and the community. The world I sat and looked at appeared as a scorched earth, barren of life.
I sat with profound sorrow and a sickness as I looked at the state of our world as the scenes of "scorched earth" kept changing in front of me. I began to weep as I looked at the dead and piles of bodies world-wide. I began to sense in my spirit that the Lord was showing me the evil now at work in our world and what the plans of the enemy are. I sensed I was seeing the beginning of the time of sorrows and the great hour of trial that was coming upon the world. As I sat in great despair, I asked the Lord to show me something to give His people faith and hope in this coming time.
Some time passed. Then, I saw what appeared to be a few drops of rain, but they were huge drops. As I looked up into one of these drops, I suddenly found myself inside one of these drops and I was rapidly traveling up and into heaven from where these drops were falling. I then saw the Lord Jesus standing there with a vial in His hands. There were people of all nations gathered there - multitudes of them, and angels as well. They were watching the Lord Jesus with great interest as He stood pouring the contents of this vial through what appeared to be an opening in a floor of glass. Angels stood by with more vials in their hands, and they were standing with people from different nations. I then realized that these vials contained the tears of the people of God who had suffered for the testimony of Jesus from around the world.
When the Lord poured out these vials, the tears multiplied exponentially as they fell from heaven on certain key places. I saw certain places in the world where it appeared to rain these tears by the "buckets full." In Africa, great rain appeared to fall from Nigeria and eastward through Sudan and to Ethiopia, and then south to the tip of South Africa. In Asia, I saw great rainfalls of these tears in scattered locations of India, in several large sectors of China, the entire Korean peninsula, various places of Eastern Europe, and then parts of Central and South America.
In each of these places where it rained from heaven with tear drops by the buckets full, I saw that the scorched earth effect had been reversed. I saw the black smears on many of the buildings I had seen earlier to have been cleansed. I then saw something spectacular, almost indescribable. I saw brilliant jets of light joining heaven and earth for each of those locations that had experienced the buckets full of raining tear drops. Over each location where the brilliantly bright lights joined with heaven, beautiful and vivid rainbows emerged and covered these cities. I sat weeping now, filled with joy and marveling at the faithfulness and glory of God. There in what have been some of the darkest places of the planet, were glorious rainbows covering the communities as though advertising the faithfulness and the glory of our majestic Lord Jesus. It appeared that all around the planet in these different locations there were now places of hope where people could come out of the darkness and find rays of heaven's light and heaven's hope.
The scene suddenly switched to the sky again as I watched these evil dark horsemen riding like swarms of locusts across the sky. This time I saw something very different. They spent much more time looking over their shoulders, and rode with a sense of the utmost urgency. I then saw brilliant lights fill the sky from behind these dark riders. They were fast moving lights, and as the distance closed between the dark horseman and the lights, I could see these were the angelic armies of the Lord and His chariots of fire. When they hit the flanks and rear elements of the army of dark horsemen, it looked as though a great tidal wave of white water had been released and just explosively swept through the dark army. The army of light literally swallowed up the army of dark horseman - the dark horsemen, fearsome as they had appeared, were simply vanquished by the army of the Lord and vanished from sight! Light swallowed up darkness! Life swallowed up death! Glory and hallelujah! Praise Him for His power and might! Praise Him for His love that endures forever! Amen.
Interpretation: I asked the Lord what he wants us to see and hear from Him in this vision. Here's what He said:
I asked my disciples when I walked with them before I ascended to sit with the Father this question, "When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?" This generation will be pressed by the kingdom of darkness to answer this question. The time is coming when those who truly follow me will rise and shine with My glory as brilliantly as the stars. The kingdom of darkness is making great penetrations and has established strongholds throughout the kingdom of men. The god of this age and his evil forces have corrupted this world and this age. Even many of those who profess to follow me are walking in darkness. The evil one is leaving his mark on them and their institutions. Greater darkness than this is coming still. You will not stand against this darkness on your own strength. Games and gimmicks, and playing church will not work. This darkness will swallow any light that does not originate from My Spirit in heaven. Worldly lights will be snuffed out.
Now it is time for My people to lift your faces to heaven and give your allegiance to the King of Kings and the Kingdom of Heaven. Save yourselves from this corrupt generation. Plead for mercy and intercede on behalf of your churches, communities, and nations. Stand firm in the faith and in My strength and armor alone. There is no other way. I have said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father but by Me." Now, each of you must firmly believe this and trust Me. I am the only way - trust nothing else with your life!
I will absolutely demolish the evil one and his dark kingdom! You must know that I remember and treasure the tears and prayers of the afflicted saints, who have suffered for Me and My name. I am coming to deliver them and bring great harvests in the places of the world they have labored and suffered! I have saved every tear and every word of prayer from these dear souls - they are so precious to me! You are so precious to Me!
I am the light of the world. Whoever believes in me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. I want all My people to trust this and know I am the light that will be with them in the midst of the great darkness. I am with you and I will never leave you or forsake you. Place your hand in My hand, and walk with Me. I am the Fountain of Life, and in My light you will have light, no matter how great the darkness is around you. Always remember how dearly I love you. The evil one will always want you to question My love for you. Never doubt My love. When I said from the cross, "It is finished," I made a declaration that My love for you was truly perfect, complete, and lacking nothing. My love for you shall never fail. Trust Me.

1 Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me. 2 Take up shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid. 3 Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to my soul, "I am your salvation." 4 May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay. 5 May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the Lord driving them away; 6 may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord pursuing them. 7 Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me, 8 may ruin overtake them by surprise? may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin. 9 Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in his salvation.

He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND Lord OF Lords.
Praise Him Always!
