The thing i like about the 4 horseman is that they kind of make a loop such as: conquest leads to war which leads to famine which then leads to death or war leads to famine which leads to pestilence which, also, leads to death. Thus a wierd, most likely unintended, loop.

I remember Supernatural's interpretation of the horseman. Famine was a sickly looking man, bound to a wheelchair, and had body guards that represented locusts. Wherever he roamed, people became infatuated with anything and everything. Food, sex, drugs. etc. I would see how basically widespread addiction would also lead to an economic collapse as represented by the original white rider, Conquest. Further, War was imagined as like a racketeer personality that manipulated the hysteria and hallucinations of people that drove even good men to violence. It's more interesting to imagine the Horseman as living Omens, causing the apocalypse slowly but surely with their respective control over the minds and bodies of people and the physical land then directly bound to faith in my opinion.

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett included the four horsemen.

Fallout Shelter's version of the four horsemen was quite interesting. The quest was from what I can tell the longest in the game as it had 3 chapters. The horseman were simply created by one individual to represent different factions in the wasteland in hopes that they would inevitably wipe themselves out. Pestilence; an average Radscorpion, followed by those wishing to be iratiated as to be deemed worthy. War; A Raider chief with an ego suited in some power armor and fitted with a minigun, followed by raiders. Famine; A iratiated ghoul followed by other ghouls who wished to consume. Death; a molerat followed by a cult from another vault simply because of a typo in their manual making Death capitalized. (Ironic seeing as Death was the only one named.) What I found interesting about it was simply that each Horseman represented a different faction, but were treated as if each were a different religion. Towards the end of the quest line each faction followed by their horseman meet at the location of Death and seem to finish themselves off as was according to plan only with the help of the player. I doubt many people have played through the game and know what I'm talking about but I felt the need to mention it here as it was quite interesting and honestly made the game really fun for me as well as being one of the most entertaining representations I've seen of The Four Horsemen.

[@truthseeker6532]

​@@ZACHANDJACKSZACHSMAFIA (Please Read all and Thank You. For this is a VERY IMPORTANT READ). 1. When Babylon fell, its church did not. It relocated and changed its name. This church is Satan's creation as was Babylon and means of undoing Truth with lies throughout the eras of mankind. 2. One of the names it changed its name to was, The Holy Roman Catholic Church (Final name now is The Vatican). This was the means in which Satan undid Gods 10-month calendar into 12-month and created 2 false months of Jan. and Feb. This makes hard knowing Gods Holy Days in which Satan replaced with The Holidays. 3. This is also when what Satan started 50 years after Jesus left the Earth a counterfeit Christianity bearing the same name (the true version of Gods which is only in the Bible and practiced by Fathers 1 single church on Earth) that Satan creation of Rome used Emperor Constatine to enforce this counterfeit Christianity upon the Earth which also replaced Gods true Sabbath of Friday sunset until Saturday sunset with Sunday (worship day to Satan) and changed the week from Gods 6 days of work and 1 day off to 5 days work 2 days off with the start of the week of Gods being Sunday into the last day of the week instead. 4. Satan is allowed to create various versions of the Bible. 5. King James Version is for the past and is to be left there as God told mankind, God will update the Bible as time passes when mankind is ready. 6. New King James Version is for the era now to follow and no other version. 7. God told mankind just before Revelations begins (end of the world) the last and final version of the Bible will be released. It as it has been (proper true versions of the Bible), will be used by Gods 1 true Church and taught. 8. All of these changes that God allows Satan to commit, is part of a filtering process upon all of mankind. The 3 Resurrections aka 3 filters are what they are meant for. 9. First rez aka First Fruits are the first to be saved out of about 50 billion to 70 billion since Adam. 10. Second rez is the General Rez in which all truths will be revealed to about 50 Billion to 70 Billion who will be in this rez which is almost everyone since Adam. 11. All in the second rez, will live a lifetime of 100 years with sin in them (test and trialed by but, no more Satan and his demons they are imprisoned for eternity) and will be forced to obey Fathers way of life. 12. When that time is done (The Second Rez) those who pass this White Throne Judgement Period will not die again but will become spirit beings and join into the God Family with Father, Jesus and those of the First Resurrection. 13. Those who do not pass will be the ones who commit "THE UNPARDONABLE SIN" which in the Second Rez is the only time mankind can do so. For one has to know the truth of everything in order to commit it. 14. To commit The Unpardonable Sin, is to refuse Father's Spiritual Blood into you which is called "THE HOLY SPIRIT" which Satan taught into mankind is a being instead that erases our Father in Heaven from everything. For it is Fathers blood that created everything and will turn us into his Sons and Daughters through/by and Brothers and Sisters to Lord Jesus the Christ. 15. Those that commit that unpardonable sin will die a second death. For their first life lived was their first death as almost all of us will go through but, these found to be wicked complete will die twice. Once under Satan's rule (For wages of sin is Death) and once under Gods. 16. They will also go through being resurrected twice. Once into The Second Rez and again into the Third Rez aka 3rd filter upon mankind. 17. Last words will be said to them by Father, Jesus and they will be ended permanently. 18. Earth will be re-done The New Jerusalem will be brought to Earth in which Earth will become the home of The God family. 19. New Jerusalem will have 12 Pearl Gates and to each, is one of the 12 Bloodlines of the House of Israel. 20 To each Gate, 1 of the 12 apostles will rule over with King David ruling over all of them. 21. The ones living in this Great city will be Father, Jesus and those of the First Resurrection ONLY!!!! 22. Those who were in the Second Resurrection aka The Genral Resurrection, will live on the outside of the city aka on the Earth. 23. Earths sky Heaven 1, Outer Space Heaven 2 and Heaven 3 is where Father and Jesus are seated now was created as a temporary home for Father and Jesus. 24. Earth was always going to Fathers and Jesus permanent home to come. 25. Fathers plan of all of this, was before anything was ever created. 26. We read of the unfolding process of it in the Bible. However, everything Father has done is not in the Bible. The creation of Jesus Fathers Manager/worker, then the creation of their temp home, then the angles etc....

They represent the four Cardinal Points of the Sun throughout the year, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. In the winter the Sun dies. In the Spring the Sun conquers death with the Sword also symbol for erected Phallic which also symbolizes impregnating earth. In the Summer He reigns but it is short lived through war in the heavens and after loosing He Falls. White and Red work together with one after the other. White represents purity, holiness and also Virginity. Spring is everything to do with initiation or life amd resurrection from the winter’s death also the celebration of the Sun having Passed over that period of time. Red is shedding of blood both from the lost of virginity but also for heat and warmth. It’s important to note that in the spring Jupiter and Venus rule (the benevolent gentleman and the virgen).

I’ve always felt the Horsemen and the breaking of the seven seals represented the demise of mankind at its own hands. That The desire for earthly conquest would consume the world in a great war. The war then causes a famine that kills a fourth of the world. The story other three seals as they are broken talk about the fifth seal, where the souls of those who died “for the word of god” (or in my interpretation, the war) would call out to the faithful to be avenged. The sixth seal talks about a lot of changes like the sun going black but what stood out to me is the unfaithful (name the rich who’d have caused the war and blight) hiding in every corner they could find and even begging for death to escape punishment. The final seal talks about Heaven’s wrath and the wrath of the Lamb being wrought unto everyone but the faithful A lot of mentions call back to those in political power being a part of the problem that causes the apocalypse as shown in Revelation. I’ve always seen it to mean the corruption of those in power to bring the physical and even moral downfall of society as we know it

None of this is accurate. The first Horseman is the newly made King Michael (Jesus). That's why he wears a crown, and is all in pure white . And with Jesus being made King in heaven, his first means of action is reprimanding Satan the dragon, and banishing him from the heavens, and hurling him down to earth. Because of this, Satan is now influencing the Earth, and the whole earth is in his power, therefore with that comes the things such as War the next Horseman, as well as famine, pestilence, and death. And these would be taking place globally, signaling the last days which culminates into the great tribulation and Armageddon. Ergo, The Four Horsemen lead into Armageddon.

Interesting how many differences there are between German and English versions. In the German version (at least in the one I've read and which was also used in our schools in my country back in my day) the only rider that is named is War. In addition to that, it doesn't say that "Hades" followed the fourth rider, but "hell". I've always connected that passage to the Apocrypha, cause there it says that among all the fallen angels, there's only a single one who's not exiled to hell. His name was Abaddon and he's held captive in a dungeon in heaven, with the key to hell chained arround his neck. When the lamb sends out the fourth rider, Abaddon follows him with the key dragging him down to "the pit", where he has to unlock the gates of hell, so all the lost souls and his fellow fallen angels would be present for God's final judgement. Also, I've always thought of the first rider as tyranny, as in "the first rider takes away mankind's freedom, the second one their peace, the third one their wealth and the last one their very lives", which are basically considered the pillars of prosperity. I think in the version I've read the first one didn't have a bow, but a scepter, which also seems to lay the focus more onto the "ruling" aspect of that rider rather than the bow, which was used by Hannibal to shoot an arrow into the city of Rome itself during his conquest in Italy. I'm not trying to start an argument here, I'm an agnostic atheist myself and grew up with the folklore of my country rather than with Christian traditions, but as a sucker for all kinds of religions and mythologies I love discussing that kind of stuff in order to understand it properly. Please forgive me for that, if anyone feels offended right here. (;

I don’t know what to think about your comment 😅 or many comments I am reading in this channel. Out of the Bible men have taken what they like and created many religions.. however all of the Bible points out to that one Verb whom became flesh and died in that cross for our sins.. all the Bible: from the beginning points out to this Verb. that been said in order to understand the Bible and stories one has to be Christian(yes including the Jews, for that Verb came to them first yet rejected him even tho all the Torah points out to this savior) to understand the Bible. Other than that the Bible is going to be seen as you see it(only intriguing stories etc) however that’s not how the Bible is intente to be understood; it’s suppose to be understood to be saved from our sins and what it’s to come to humanity and the Judgment of God.

The first horseman is the mysterious one. His depiction does look like how Christ is depicted elsewhere in the book of Revelations. However, I think that pestilence is really what it's meant to represent. An epidemic is certainly like a conquest. The symbolism is very apollinian too. John was speaking to a Greek audiance. The god Apollo was a bright god, god of the Sun (the crown) who's favorite weapon was a bow. The Greeks believed that he would sometimes shoot an arrow on the ground and thus send disease and pestilence on Earth. During the great pandemic, like the Antonine Plague of the 2nd century, or the Cyprian Plague of the third, pagans would offer sacrifices to Apollo to stop the disease. It also makes sense. War, diseases, famine, death, they all go along.

The change from “Conquest” to “Pestilence” was a Renaissance-era version of a Retcon. Stripped from its original context (ie a Nostradamus-style prediction of the future of the Roman Empire), having “Conquest” as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse didn’t make much sense. By then it was a well-established concept in the popular imagination (given the centrality of Christianity to medieval life) and a reference point that even common people knew. Plus it is obviously very poetic and effective as a visual and rhetorical metaphor, as evidenced by its popularity to this day. Thus poets, writers, etc did a sly retcon, replacing the confusing and anachronistic “Conquest” (which made sense in the original context but no longer did out of context) with the nicely fitting “Pestilence”. And notably, after the decimation of the Black Plague in the 14th-century everyone in society would have been more keenly aware than ever before of the particularity of disease as unique threat, separate from War and Famine.

Who wouldn't want to ride in on a peacock, as long as it was proportioned to the rider?

[@vivekburuj414]

@Cynical Frenchface I believe you r talking about Kartikeya. I had to google to know if he is our god of war or not. Nice Knowledge u have there. 😂

[@vivekburuj414]

@Cynical Frenchface But the thing is Kartikeya is mostly mentioned in his childhood stories, many don't know him as god of war. As he chose the peacock as his ride in his childhood, who wudnt. Every kid wants to ride a peacock when sees it

They are time, famine, pestilence and death according to metallica. Interesting, and makes more sense in my opinion because they differ more from each other.

Something to keep in mind regarding the third horseman, the coins used by the Empire had already been debased multiple times before St. John the Divine put pen to paper.

The first scene in supernatural with death in Chicago was amazing.

[@wannabecartoonist7389]

What about Chicago? Well I suppose it can stay. I like the pizza.

My favorite appearance of the horsemen is in supernatural and undead nightmare … shits so cool how u can actually ride the horses … I wish there was a game (open world RPG) where u actually meet all these biblical figures

[@2dmajor999]

First Horsemen is wearing a bow (Toxon in old greek), you can translate toxon also with "simplest piece of fabric", wearing a crown (Corona in latin), the crown is a Stephanos, the WHO has it in their logo. The ancient greek Gastraphetes almost looks like a syringe. I said 1 year ago the second Horsemen will maybe arrive on 22.02.2022.
