Prophecy and the War Horse will meet in a climatic ending at the end of time. Prophecy fulfilled and the War Horse will ride together in the final battle on earth

Prophecy and the bible is a subject of great interest. Now that the famed 2012 is here Prophecy of many sorts and sources find their way to the front. In Christian circles Prophecy is a hot topic and one that generates a crowd. You can usually pack out a church by dealing in areas of Prophecy that interest people. None the less, I find one of the most intriguing things in Prophecy is the use of the War Horse. Throughout scripture we find nations and peoples using horses in Battle.

Recently War Horse came to the big screen, being developed from a book by British author Michael Morpurgo. It was first published in 1982, and then developed for the stage by the same name of War Horse. The epic picture of the War Horse was directed by Steven Spielberg and the shots of the War Horse focused on the strength, beauty, and majesty of the breed in battle.

Prophecy and the Horse stand shoulder to shoulder in the end times. That is, from scripture we have a number of scriptures that reflect this. But we will get to this later. No doubt for man, the use of the horse, then the chariot in battle was paramount to success in war. Israel faced many enemies who had a reputation and fierceness in War, due to their chariots, horses, and cavalry of War Horses. One of the oldest sources describing the true majesty of the horse is found in Job.

Job 39:19- Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
Job 39:20- Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
Job 39:21- He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
Job 39:22- He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
Job 39:23- The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
Job 39:24- He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
Job 39:25- He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
