4 horsemen of the apocalypse

Four horsemen of the apocalypse

In Revelation 6:1-8, upon the Lamb's opening of the first seal, four horsemen appear: the first rode a white horse, and "had a bow; a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering and to conquer"; the second rode a red horse, and was given power "to take peace from the earth, so that people would slaughter one another; and he was given a great sword"; the third rode a black horse, and "held a pair of scales in his hand," signifying a great famine; and the fourth rode a pale horse: "Its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed with him." These four horsemen, we are told, "were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, famine, and pestilence, and by the wild animals of the
earth."
