The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?

We should name them. Harry Barry Garry and Lucky hahahaha. Death is the coolest

These are God judgment onto "Christendom". As you know, God wrath will be onto the believers as well as unbelievers because they are also part of the evil community-the Byzantine Empire (also known as the beast) that judgment had been made. And God will cause the few to suffer together with the rest that were given to the beast but for the few the reward will be paradise against the rest the lake of fire. The rider on the white horse is a Muslim, an approved God people, the same rider as described in Rev.19, where it described to the very detailed about prophet Muhammad. But,the red was the Persian who had been tormenting the kingdom constantly about the same era causing havoc and famine(loss of farmed land and rationing of food). If you like, the Persian are described in Rev 9. When the Persian-an unapproved God people, took Egypt from them, the food supply to the Byzantine was further cut-off and there was widespread famine throughout the kingdom which is the third rider in black. It was also during these period that there was great plague devastation all kingdom including Byzantine, Persian and Muslim Syria killing most of the world population, which is the last rider.

If you think about it's already happening in its own way just not as figures but as natural cause's like Pestilence fatal epidemic disease...AIDS! War violent battle, famine A drastic shortage of food its happening across the world and of course DEATH its happening drastically. Just open your eyes the 4 horsemen doesn't have to be a figure of life but just earths natural way of destroying us before we destroy it.

since pestilence is synonymous with infection, and i associate infection with zombies n stuff, then i think hed be prety crazy. war would be the one who comes first, eventually leading on to the others. and death will be the one taking its toll on those left over from the other horsemen. so yaa

Filthy Death the Grinning Clown....

I don't believe Pestilence was a horse of the apocalypse. I think the first horseman was Apollo, the Muslim god, through a short chain of associations. al ilah was the god of the Kabbah in Mohammads's day, the title then known as Allah. Allah was Hubal the moon god, the semetic version of Baal, a fertility god usually symbolized by the sun but in Arabia symbolized by the moon. Baal himself was the Semetic version of the Greek god Apollo, also identified in Revelations as Apolyon, the king of the bottomless pit. He is known as a user of the bow, as Revelations also describes the first horseman as carrying.

The four horsemen are metaphorical for the ways in which we humans will destroy our selves. There is nothing cool about retarded self destruction....

I highly doubt anyone really believes god is going to literally send angelic horsemen to slaughter humans....

Piss-bottle Jones says

since they all end in death eventually, why isn't there just one totally bad *** death horseman?

The White Horse and Its Illustrious Rider

3 John, and with him the zealous John class and companions of today, is privileged to see a fast-moving drama! John says: “And I saw, and, look! a white horse; and the one seated upon it had a bow; and a crown was given him, and he went forth conquering and to complete his conquest.” (Revelation 6:2) Yes, in answer to that thunderous “Come!” a white horse charges forth. In the Bible, the horse often symbolizes warfare. (Psalm 20:7; Proverbs 21:31; Isaiah 31:1) This horse, likely a beautiful stallion, gleams with a whiteness that indicates unblemished holiness. (Compare Revelation 1:14; 4:4; 7:9; 20:11.) How appropriate this is, for it portrays warfare that is clean and righteous in Jehovah’s holy eyes!—See also Revelation 19:11, 14.

4 Who is the Rider of this horse? He has a bow, an offensive weapon of war, but he is also given a crown. The only righteous ones seen wearing crowns during the Lord’s day are Jesus and the class represented by the 24 elders. (Daniel 7:13, 14, 27; Luke 1:31-33; Revelation 4:4, 10; 14:14) It is unlikely that a member of the group of 24 elders would be pictured as receiving a crown on his own merit. Hence, this lone horseman must be Jesus Christ and no other. John sees him in heaven at the historic moment in 1914 when Jehovah declares, “I, even I, have installed my king,” and tells him that this is for the purpose “that I may give nations as your inheritance.” (Psalm 2:6-8) Thus, in opening the first seal Jesus reveals how he himself, as the newly crowned King, sallies forth to war at God’s appointed time.

Fiery Horse

*** re chap. 16 pp. 93-94 pars. 16-17 Four Horsemen at the Gallop! ***

There had been many wars before 1914, the year when the Rider of the white horse received his crown. But now the rider of the red horse is given “a great sword.” What does this imply? With the eruption of World War I, human warfare becomes more sanguinary, more destructive than ever before. During the 1914-18 bloodbath, tanks, poison gas, airplanes, submarines, huge cannons, and automatic weapons were used either for the first time or on an unprecedented scale. In some 28 nations, whole populations, not just professional soldiers, were pressed into the war effort. Casualties were horrendous. More than nine million soldiers were slaughtered, and civilian casualties were astronomical. Even with the end of the war, there was no return to real peace on earth. More than 50 years after that war, German statesman Konrad Adenauer commented: “Security and quiet have disappeared from the lives of men since 1914.” It was, indeed, granted to the rider of the fiery-colored horse to take peace away from the earth!

17 Then, with his thirst for blood whetted, the rider of the red horse plunged into World War II. Instruments of slaughter became ever more fiendish, and casualties skyrocketed to four times those of World War I. In 1945 two atom bombs burst over Japan, each one annihilating—in a flash—tens of thousands of victims. During the second world war, the rider of the red horse reaped a huge harvest of some 55 million lives, and even then he was not satisfied. It is reliably reported that well over 20 million souls have fallen under the “great sword” since World War II.

Black Horse

*** re chap. 16 pp. 95-96 pars. 21-23 Four Horsemen at the Gallop! ***

What does John see, then, as the third summons to “Come!” is answered? “And I saw, and, look! a black horse; and the one seated upon it had a pair of scales in his hand.” (Revelation 6:5b) Stark famine! That is the dire message of this prophetic scene. It points forward to situations early in the Lord’s day when food must be rationed out by scales. Since 1914 famine has been a continuing worldwide problem. Modern warfare brings famine in its wake, for resources normally used in feeding the hungry are often diverted to supplying war weapons. Farm workers are conscripted, and battle-scarred fields and scorched-earth policies curtail food production. How true this was during the first world war, when millions suffered from hunger and died! Moreover, the rider of the black horse of hunger did not relent with the end of the war. During the 1930’s, five million perished in just one famine in the Ukraine. The second world war brought in its wake more food shortages and famines. As the black horse continued its gallop, The World Food Council reported in mid-1987 that 512 million humans were starving and that 40,000 children die of hunger-related causes every day.

22 John has more to tell us: “And I heard a voice as if in the midst of the four living creatures say: ‘A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the olive oil and the wine.’” (Revelation 6:6) All four cherubs are united in expressing a need to watch food supplies carefully—just as the people had to “eat bread by weight and in anxious care” prior to Je
