(Another thing that a number of sites and messages say, is what they call the "two hundred million man army".

They then try to determine various ways that an army, or combined armies of different nations, can total 200 million.

However, the scriptures say:)

Revelation 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

(It says that the two hundred million is the number of the army of the horsemen, not simply a two hundred million man army.

The key difference is that the scriptures call that entire army horsemen, meaning that they are riding on what the scriptures call horses.

It doesn't say that they are riding on motor operated machines that are like horses, but that they are called horses.)

Revelation 9:17a And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone:

(Then it goes on to describe the horses, using comparisons:)

Revelation 9:17b  and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

  18 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.

  19 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.

(These are clearly not usual horses, as they are fire breathing, with heads as lions, and tails like unto serpents.

There is estimated to only be about 57 to 60 million total, usual horses, in the world, quite a bit short of 200 million.

But these horses are not usual, and could be a special creation, or something brought about the wrong way, like the giants before the flood.)

(Also, it doesn't mention the horsemen killing people, only these unusual horses causing people to be killed.)

(So, why can't these 200 million horses be horses, albiet not the usual kind of horses?)
