The Meaning of the Book of Revelation: the Four Horsemen
작가: 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.
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.

Psalms 80
1
Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.
2
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us!
3
Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
4
Yahweh God of Armies, How long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
5
You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.
6
You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves.
7
Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
8
You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.
9
You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land.
10
The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God's cedars.
11
It sent out its branches to the sea, Its shoots to the River.
12
Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?
13
The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.
14
Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,
15
the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.
16
It's burned with fire. It's cut down. They perish at your rebuke.
17
Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
18
So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.
19
Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph.
