Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer

When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come.” And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.

When He broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not damage the oil and the wine.”

When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.

Isn’t it famine, death, war, and plague? (Not in that order)

It could do without the white horse medallions. That makes it a little too busy. Otherwise, the art is fantastic.

What are the other 3 seals?

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

The fifth seal is the people slain "for the word of god", sixth is a big fuck of earthquake that makes the stars fall down from heaven(1/?)

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

The seventh is complete silence and then seven Angeles get each their magical trompet that makes alot of apocalyptic stuff to happen. (2/2)

The people like to forget about the other 3 because they can't romanticise it, especially the 5th one.

My favorite RIFTS Palladium book, Africa depicts the 4 horsemen so well. It has made me interested in them since I was young.

Who the fuck is Conquest? It's motherfucking Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death.

Yah. Like using Hornitos instead of Jose.

Pestilence is made up. My wife didn't believe me, so she checked out the oldest Greek translation she could find. Conquest is an OG Horseman

8 years ago | Likes 17 Dislikes 1

Functionally they are interchangeable due to fun things in the original text in which both conquest and pestilence are acceptable.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

Interestingly, 'conquest' is the only horseman not given the power to kill. He could be a non-threatening portion of the prophecy.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

I think "Conquest" had outstayed its welcome once Christianity left the side of the oppressed to gain power. "Pestilence" is more...neutral.

They tag in and out. They do that from time to time.

Pestilence isn't even his final form! When you roll it up in a blanket, it becomes conquest.

Conquest was the original.

Conquest has a sweet theme song by the white stripes though.

Traditionally speaking, it’s Conquest.

Eh, Manifest destiny kinda covered the big four. Conquest would be more of an after effect.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 11

The four horsemen are biblical in origin; if not for the modern re-imagining, it's Conquest, Famine, Death and War. Not pestilence.

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Interesting. Wouldn't conquest and war be the same thing?

8 years ago | Likes 43 Dislikes 0

Remember who the passage was written for. The Jews of the time were a conquered people to them a battle and being conquered were different

8 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

War is to battle while conquest is to take...?

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

That seems like a difference of cause vs. effect rather than different entities. Not that you're WRONG, just my initial reaction.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Conquest is about subjugation and arresting control, war is just the state of conflict and death. Power vs. Ideologies, the Crown vs. ISIL.

That is a very good point. Thank you for bothering to give interesting, informative, and unbiased information imgur! +1

I thought Pestilence has given up after penicilin? Isn't there this new guy Pollution?

8 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 3

He covers both jobs.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Except Pestilence retired due to the advent of penicillin. Pollution took over the position.

Pollution IS a form of pestilence. Pestilence isn't only black death. Anything that is considered epidemic/endemic. Literal OR metaphorical
