The Four Horsemen and Birth Pains

In Revelation, John the Apostle is given a vision by God. He sees a scroll

sealed shut. The scroll represents human history — and how this broken world will come

to an end. Only Jesus can open it. As the seals open, horses ride out.

The white horse represents conquest — human power trying to rule without

God. The red horse represents war — peace being taken from the earth.

The black horse represents famine — food becoming scarce and expensive.

The pale horse represents death — through sickness, violence, and chaos.

These horses represent a sequence of events that signal the world moving toward the end.
