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)
MimirBlue
It could do without the white horse medallions. That makes it a little too busy. Otherwise, the art is fantastic.
TheFrozenNorwegian
Agree, atleast the horses should be in the right color

I'm not a Christian but isn't it War, Death, Famine and Plague? (I know cause Supernatural)

It was originally conquest

I thought the four horsemen were early access, crafting, survival, and open world?

What are the other 3 seals?
TheFrozenNorwegian
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/?)
TheFrozenNorwegian
The seventh is complete silence and then seven Angeles get each their magical trompet that makes alot of apocalyptic stuff to happen. (2/2)
WithPride
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.

I want to say "there are dozens of us" but I don't think that's true anymore
etili
I still read through some of them. During play all that much by i loved the artwork and back stories
WhenYouMissoutOntheCoolUsernames
There are. At the book store I go too their books still get bought up. Also... do my kids count?

Who the fuck is Conquest? It's motherfucking Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death.
gyngersnapp
Yah. Like using Hornitos instead of Jose.
gloryofdawn
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
sassybannana
Functionally they are interchangeable due to fun things in the original text in which both conquest and pestilence are acceptable.
Psile
Interestingly, 'conquest' is the only horseman not given the power to kill. He could be a non-threatening portion of the prophecy.
TheShadowsLengthen
I think "Conquest" had outstayed its welcome once Christianity left the side of the oppressed to gain power. "Pestilence" is more...neutral.
OmegaMudkipz
They tag in and out. They do that from time to time.
RickySpanishhhhh
Pestilence isn't even his final form! When you roll it up in a blanket, it becomes conquest.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
Conquest was the original.
Althox00
Conquest has a sweet theme song by the white stripes though.

Traditionally speaking, it’s Conquest.
crimsonghost1
Eh, Manifest destiny kinda covered the big four. Conquest would be more of an after effect.
raptorheyzues
The four horsemen are biblical in origin; if not for the modern re-imagining, it's Conquest, Famine, Death and War. Not pestilence.
mustnttelllies
Interesting. Wouldn't conquest and war be the same thing?
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
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
Ohhhlookaunicorneatingasamurai
War is to battle while conquest is to take...?
mustnttelllies
That seems like a difference of cause vs. effect rather than different entities. Not that you're WRONG, just my initial reaction.
ataraxus
Conquest is about subjugation and arresting control, war is just the state of conflict and death. Power vs. Ideologies, the Crown vs. ISIL.
mustnttelllies
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?
HoneNathan
He covers both jobs.
CaptnVatka
Except Pestilence retired due to the advent of penicillin. Pollution took over the position.
ordeith
Mr. Soak would surely appreciate youre reference. :3

I always loved that...

But nobody notices Mr. White so how would we know this.

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

Me, as it turns out:

....I just realized this was a reference to Good Omens. I am ashamed.
