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

Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.

Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Worship Yahweh in holy array.

Yahweh's voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Yahweh on many waters.
4
Yahweh's voice is powerful. Yahweh's voice is full of majesty.

The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars. Yes, Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.
7
Yahweh's voice strikes with flashes of lightning.
8
Yahweh's voice shakes the wilderness. Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

Yahweh's voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, "Glory!"

Yahweh will give strength to his people. Yahweh will bless his people with peace. A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.
