Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse And Modern Day Events

Unless you have been living under a rock, you should be familiar with the political and social unrest that has been occurring throughout the world.

This unrest includes mass riots spreading across entire countries, escalating tensions between nations, viral outbreaks, and claims of pending ecological disaster. Many people believe that these global tragedies are signs of the end times, and they point to bible prophecies as proof.

In particular, these “end-time believers” commonly point to Revelations 6:1 – 8. Revelations is the last book of the New Testament that describes the end of the world, which is brought forth by the so-called “four horsemen” of the apocalypse. These are horsemen that believers of the prophecies contend, are “riding” in today’s modern world.

According to scripture, The Lamb of God, interpreted as Jesus Christ, breaks four of the seven seals on a scroll he took from God’s right hand. This scroll is believed to be God’s ultimate plan for the world.

Breaking the four seals brought forth the four horsemen in which each rides a horse of a particular color: white, red, black, and pale. These are commonly interpreted as Conquest, War, Famine, and Death.

Though the white horse is sometimes interpreted as disease, as a measure of comparison I am going to stay with the original verbiage. Even so, many believe that the proof of the four horseman’s presence is all around us.
