The Meaning of the Book of Revelation: the Four Horsemen
Par 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 146
1
Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.
2
While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
3
Don't put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.
4
His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.
5
Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:
6
who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;
7
who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.
8
Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down. Yahweh loves the righteous.
9
Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
10
Yahweh will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah!
