Oh here is my favorite one that just began to make sense to me.
When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"
That last part sounds very peak oily to me. Scales were used like they are today to measure out food. We all know food costs are going to go through the roof while the mega rich have there oil and wine. Oil and wine are luxurys most people will not be able to afford and we will be working all day just to put food on the table.
The mark off the beast also used to seemed almost like a joke to me. I always thought that would be tough to do. But PO could bring the whole economic system down and you better bet that the PTB would build a new one. Why not put an implant in no more identity theft and it would be the new money since the old would be worthless.
"Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened."
