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.

Psalms 5
1
Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my meditation.
2
Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.
3
Yahweh, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.
4
For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can't live with you.
5
The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.
6
You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7
But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
8
Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.
9
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.
10
Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
11
But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice, Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.
12
For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield. For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David.
