The Four Horsemen Ride

 

Almost everyone has heard of "The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse" from Movies Television or even Literature, but their description is often exaggerated and very misleading in it's real portrayal. The horsemen's ride can be found in the Bible book of  Revelation, and please remember that these horsemen are only illustrative of the very real events mentioned below:

Revelation chapter 6 verses 1 to 7:-  6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder: “Come!”  2 And I saw, and look! a white horse, and the one seated on it had a bow; and a crown was given him, and he went out conquering and to complete his conquest.  3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say: “Come!”  4 Another came out, a fiery-colored horse, and it was granted to the one seated on it to take peace away from the earth so that they should slaughter one another, and he was given a great sword.
5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say: “Come!” And I saw, and look! a black horse, and the one seated on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 I heard what sounded like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say: “A quart of wheat for a de·narʹi·us and three quarts of barley for a de·narʹi·us; and do not harm the olive oil and the wine.”  7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say: “Come!”  8 And I saw, and look! a pale horse, and the one seated on it had the name Death. And the Grave was closely following him. And authority was given them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with a long sword and with food shortage and with deadly plague and by the wild beasts of the earth

 

                                          But what is the real story the real purpose of the ride of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse what does it all represent?

                                 The Four Horsemen Revealed

                                                                           WHITE HORSE

The rider pictures Jesus Christ. He began ruling in 1914 and will soon complete his conquest, ending all suffering.

Soon, during Armageddon, Jesus will remove Satan’s influence and will destroy the Devil’s human supporters.  Jesus will not only terminate the ride of the other three horsemen but even reverse the effects of their destructive ride. How so? Consider what the Bible promises.

Revelation chapter 20 verses 1 to 3:-    1 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2 He seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for 1,000 years. 3 And he hurled him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not mislead the nations anymore until the 1,000 years were ended. After this he must be released for a little while.

                                                               FIERY-COLOURED HORSE

This rider represents warfare. World wars and smaller conflicts have taken countless lives since 1914.  Instead of war, peace will reign. Jehovah. 

Psalm chapter 46 verse 9:-   He is bringing an end to wars throughout the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear,   He burns the military wagons with fire. 
As for peace-loving people, after these events,  the rider of the fiery coloured horse will no longer exist!

Psalm chapter 37 verse 11:-   they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. 

                                                                         BLACK HORSE

The rider denotes famine. Food shortages have ended or ruined the lives of tens of millions.

Instead of famine, there will be plenty of food.  as a result there will be no more hunger! Hence, no more black rider!

Psalm chapter 72 verse 16:-  There will be an abundance of grain on the earth; on the top of the mountains it will overflow.   

                                                                          PALE HORSE

The rider brings premature death due to disease and other factors. The Grave following behind gathers up the victims.  

Revelation chapter 21 verse 4:-   And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.  

After the Pale Rider finishes his ride, there will be no more death, so the grave will no longer exist!

 

The ride of these 4 horsemen has been galloping onward since 1914 when world war one started, the Bible shows that at that time war also broke out in heaven and the Devil and his followers (wicked disobedient angels) were thrown out of heaven and confined to the vicinity of the Earth, this is why there is so much suffering in the Earth today because of Satan's influence:   

Revelation Chapter 12 verse 7 to 9:-  7 And war broke out in heaven: Miʹcha·el and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.

Soon Jesus who is known in heaven as Michael will ride on his fathers behalf to complete his conquest and remove Satan and his Demons and all disobedient humans, so that peace can prevail on our earthly home!  When Jesus lived on earth, he provided a heart warming preview of future conditions under his rulership. He promoted peace, miraculously fed thousands, cured the sick, and even raised the dead to life again:   And then as the apostle John implores at the end of the book of Revelation:   

Revelation chapter 22 verse 20:-   "The one that bears witness of these things  says, ‘Yes; I am coming quickly.’”   "Amen! Come, Lord Jesus.”
