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.

9065. 'And when an ox strikes a man or a woman with its horn' means if an affection for evil in the natural injures the truth or the good of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'striking with the horn' as injuring, for 'the horn' means the power of falsity arising from evil, 2832, and 'striking' means injuring; from the meaning of 'an ox' as an affection for good in the natural, dealt with in 2180, 2566, 2781, 2830, 5913, 8937, and therefore in the contrary sense as an affection for evil in the natural; from the meaning of 'a man' as the truth of faith, dealt with in 9034; and from the meaning of 'a woman' as the good of faith, dealt with in 4823, 6014, 8337.
