“The first horse is a white horse, it’s rider carried a bow, and a crown was placed upon his head; He rode forth victoriously, to conquer.
The second horse is a red horse. Its rider was given a great sword and the authority to banish peace and bring anarchy to the earth; allowing men to slaughter one another, war and killing broke out everywhere.
The third horse is a black horse, with its rider holding a pair of balances in his hand. This rider was given the authority to destroy justice. This represents famine.
The fourth horse was a pale horse and its riders name was Death.
The four Horsemen were given the control of one-fourth of the earth, to kill with war and famine and disease and wild animals.”
