The Meaning of the Book of Revelation: the Four Horsemen
Por Jonathan S. Rose, Curtis Childs
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.

Arcana Coelestia #8779
8779. Verse 9 And Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, I am coming to you in the thickness of a cloud, in order that the people may hear when I speak to you, and also will believe in you forever. And Moses told the people's words to Jehovah.
'And Jehovah said to Moses' means an influx of the Divine through the truth from God, regarding revelation. 'Behold, I am coming to you in the thickness of a cloud' means that it will be made in a form utterly natural. 'In order that the people may hear when I speak to you' means in order that those belonging to the spiritual Church may have some understanding of Divine things. 'And also will believe in you forever' means in order that a faith composed of truth may exist, a faith that is going to be permanent. 'And Moses told the people's words to Jehovah' means correspondence and being joined together.
