      I was a DJ in the late 80s early 90s, & used to play this song, but never really listened to the lyrics oddly, until a guy I was DJ-ing with at the time told me how sad it was.. Yeah it reminds me of my youth aswell 👍

    Who are the cavaliers in the Sixth Trumpet?
    We know 666 the sixth seal the sixth trumpet the sixth vial are here. Revelation 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Sanctions are everywhere.
    And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
    Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
    And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
    (The four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. This should be three rivers here. Nile, Tigris and Euphrates. They don’t mess around. )
    And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
    (Egypt was famous for chariots and cavalry. Don’t forget what’s Egypt! 11:8. Unfit to be called Jerusalem. Perverts bullying is Egypt. No peace of mind. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇮🇱 The Sixth in Revelation 17.)
    And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
    (Lions rips and tears. What’s fire? James 3:6. Tongue is fire. Language is fire. )
    By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
    (Who is death? Hebrews 2:14. The devil the Traducer is death. Also named Satan the accuser in 12:9. The rider of the GREEN horse in the 4th seal at 6:8. Jezebel’s sky-fallen religion. 2:20.)
    For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
    (What’s tails? Isaiah 9:15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. Jezebel’s crowd. Jehu vs Jezebel. Trump vs Hillary. Jezebel is Zidonian serpent seed. 1 Kings 16:31. Tares. Revelation 2:9 & 3:9. John 8:44. Matthew 13:29, 39. Tares sneaked inside the camp since Joshua 9 and took over the scribe in 1 Chronicles 2:55. Later on teaching the law in Matthew 23. Yes their honorable Jeremiah deals with them before. Remember 35? )
    And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
    (Deader than a doorknob. All they care about is this life. John 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. Clueless about what’s next. They don’t care. What’s this devils? This word is from δαίω (to distribute fortunes); a dæmon or supernatural spirit (of a bad nature). Just give me my fortune! I need the funding for my project. )
    Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
    (Guess what is their sorceries?
    Our word pharmacy comes from this word “sorceries”. Bio weapons program. (φαρμακεία pharmakeia)
    -thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
    (Revelation 18:-23.)
    "The merchants of the earth" are "the great men of the earth". Our magistrates. Bought and paid for by the sorceries. Drug pushers. Legal or illegal drugs pushers.
    Unit 731 of Empire of Japan in WW2 was took over by the department of defense. US is producing biological weapons and using it in Korea and Vietnam war ever since. Remember Agent Orange? Sorcerer is death penalty. Revelation 21:8. You guys are goners. Going to Pluto.
    Revelation 18 current events.
    Pompeo’s address to West Point is the reason why he will be erased as never existed before.
    By the way, sorceries is death penalty. Proof? Revelation 21:8. Bye bye. You will be erased as never existed before. The second death is the death of the soul. )
    We all know what happened to the cavalry of Egypt. Exodus 14.
    I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt,-
    Zechariah 10:10-.

    INVASION _(Alternation)_
    _The prophet. Sorrow._
    Jer 8:14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us *water of gall* to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
    (Water of gall is poppy water. Poisoned water. )
    Jer 8:15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold *trouble* !
    (Trouble here is a feminine word.)
    Jer 8:16 The snorting of his horses was heard *from Dan:* the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
    (The Assyrians entered the land from the north. BHO is a type of king of Assyrian. Revelation 9. Ottoman scorpions. Green worms cavalry. Don't forget who is the rider of the green horse in the 4th seal. Revelation 6:8. Hebrews 2:14. The death. The devil the traducer. Also called the old serpent in Revelation 12:9. That multi-headed one world political beast in 13 worship. The dragon. )
    _Yahoveh. Threatening._
    Jer 8:17 For, behold, I will send *serpents, cockatrices,* among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
    (Traducers and accusers. Revelation 12:10. )
    _The prophet. Sorrow._
    Jer 8:18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
    _Yahoveh. Threatening._
    Jer 8:19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
    (The menstruation of the nations. Rejected life of the nations. )
    _The prophet. Sorrow. (Division.)_
    _The prophet's sorrow._
    _The reasons for it._
    _The prophet's sorrow._
    Jer 8:20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
    (Mark 13:28. Revelation 20:6. The death is still a threat to them. )
    Jer 8:21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
    Jer 8:22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
    Jer 9:1 Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
    Jer 9:2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them!
    _The reasons for the prophet's sorrow. (Alternation.)_
    _Incrimination. Deceit._
    for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
    Jer 9:3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
    Jer 9:4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.
    Jer 9:5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
    Jer 9:6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
    _Threatening. Trial._
    Jer 9:7 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, *Behold, I will melt them, and try them;* for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
    (See what you are made of. Ezekiel 22:18.)
    _Incrimination. Deceit._
    Jer 9:8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
    _Threatening. Vengeance._
    Jer 9:9 Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: *shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?*
    (5:7~9&20~31. The grudge between God and the Satan. The serpent seeds and the woman’s seeds. Genesis 3:15. )
