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 76
1
In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.
2
His tabernacle is also in Salem; His dwelling place in Zion.
3
There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.
4
Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.
5
Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.
6
At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.
7
You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
8
You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,
9
when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah.
10
Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
11
Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.
12
He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth. For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph.
