Nope. They have not been released. a pandemic of this scale is nothing compared to what they will being.
~~Moral of the story. Not everyone who claims to be a biblical scholar really is.

The Plague will be something with the infectivity of chickenpox and the case fatality of rabies. Ebola on steroids comes to mind.
Oh goodie! Barkeep! Another 7up with a slice of lime!
I am not yet activated. I may only be judged as pestilence, but I can kill as death.
“war, famine and disease”
They are always riding. Africa is a fine current example.
A lot of things have to happen before the Horsemen ride. For one thing, the Two Witnesses will walk the earth. They arent going to be missed. Oh no.
The events of chapters 4&5 of Revelation take place in a heavenly courtroom. Courtrooms have to do with justice being meted out to the guilty.
The seven sealed scroll in the right hand of God is written within and without, denoting the very large caseload to be dealt with.
The four horsemen are the first four of the seals, they denote judgment...as also the last three.
It is my understanding that Matt. 24 is the key to interpreting the seven seals. The first four: the antichrist goes forth, with war, famine, and pestilence in his wake. Followed by the great tribulation, the sntichrist ruling an endtime one world government (seal five in Revelation), being closed out by the day of the Lord, the fullness of God’s wrathful judgment (seal six), then Armageddon and the second coming (seal seven).
If we follow Jesus in Matt. 24, then it is the antichrist we are to expect first, pandemic (pestilence in seal four) the last thing following in his wake. The antichrist being the most conspicuous feature of the endtime.
Unless you think Trump is the antichrist (for many reasons, I do not) then seal one hasn’t been opened yet. Which means this pandemic is but a harbinger of things to come.
