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 30
1
I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2
Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
3
Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4
Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.
5
For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
6
As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."
7
You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8
I cried to you, Yahweh. To Yahweh I made supplication:
9
"What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
10
Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper."
11
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
12
To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever! For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
