Transparency is needed to sort things out. Before big change happens, God first reveals what’s really going on.

In the Book of Revelation - the last book of the Word - the apostle John describes a series of apocalyptic visions that he experienced during his exile on the Isle of Patmos, in the Aegean Sea.

In one of these visions, he saw four horsemen, the first riding a white horse, the second a red horse, the third a black, and the fourth - named Death - riding a pale horse. These "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" - oft-pictured - are described in Revelation 6:1-8.

What do these horses, and their riders, represent? What do they have to do with us, today? Watch as Curtis Childs and Jonathan Rose explore the hidden Bible meaning of the Four Horsemen in the Book of Revelation, in this video from the Swedenborg and Life Series, from the Swedenborg Foundation.

Plus, to go straight to the source, follow the links below to the places in "Apocalypse Revealed" where Swedenborg explained the inner meaning of this famous Bible story. A good place to start would be Apocalypse Revealed 298.

5295. 'And let them store up grain' means at the same time every good of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'storing up' as collecting at the same time and preserving; and from the meaning of 'grain' as natural good, dealt with in 3580, in this case the good of truth present in the natural. For the good of truth is truth present in will and action. The reason 'grain' means good is that in the spiritual sense 'the field' is the Church, and therefore everything connected with the field - such as seed, sower, harvest, standing crop, grain, and also the head or tip of the grain, besides specifically wheat, barley, and much else - describes something to do with the Church. And everything to do with the Church has a connection with goodness and truth.
