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.

8695. 'And I make known the judgements of God and His laws' means that it teaches them what truth is and what good is. This is clear from the meaning of 'making known' as teaching; from the meaning of 'judgements' as truths, dealt with in 2235, 6397; and from the meaning of 'laws' as the truths of good The reason why 'laws' are the truths of good is that in a broad sense 'the Law' means the whole Word, in a narrower sense the historical section of the Word, in a restricted sense the Word written through Moses, and in a very restricted sense the Ten Commandments, see 6752. Consequently, since the Word is Divine Truth which goes forth from the Lord's Divine Good, 'laws' are the truths of good. The truths of good are truths which spring from good, and are in themselves good since they derive their existence continually from good.
