Revelation 6:1-8
I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come! Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.
When the Lamb opened the third seal.... there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. a voice among the four living creatures, saying, Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
The breaking of the seals sets in train a series of disasters. Many see the seven seals, the seven trumpets, and the rest as parallel descriptions of the same reality - not a sequence in time order. On the heels of conquest come slaughter, famine, and disease - the classic judgments of God so often predicted by the prophets.
Why?
First seal white horse: peace to the antichrist.
Second seal: read horse: blood and war.
Third seal: black horse: expensive, famine and poverty.
Fourth seal: grey horse: sick or dead person, kill 1/4 of the people in the world, about 2billion people.
The four horses' vision is like the vision in Zechariah chapter 6 verse 1-8. The rider should be the antichrist. Red: war and blood, black means hungry, poverty. grey means death.
