The Meaning of the Book of Revelation: the Four Horsemen
Po 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 63
1
God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
2
So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
3
Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
4
So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
5
My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
6
when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
7
For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
8
My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
9
But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10
They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
11
But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
