They represent some of the true forces shaping our world today. Second Seal "And when He had opened the second seal..here went out another horse that was red, and power was given to him and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword." Rev 6.4 This second horse obviously represents war, as there has hardly been a day in the Worlds's history without people killing each other. Horse is red as the color of blood. Third Seal "And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and behold, a black horse; and he that sat thereon had a balance in his hand. Rev 6:6 And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a shilling, and three measures of barley for a shilling; and the oil and the wine hurt thou not." Rev 6.6 Here we see coming the horse of commerce , the horse of money and heartless capitalism,and with it famine. One symptom of famine is a skin condition called Xerosis, as the condition grows worse, the skin is often mottled, or has dark blotches with different shades of color. Fourth Seal And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come. Rev 6:8 And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth. So the final horse is death in all its forms. First Seal And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. This first Horseman is obviously Jesus, with a crown, all in white, going forth conquering and to conquer. At the time of this revelation the early christians indeed went forward and conquered the Roman Empire. The message of love and redemption more powerful than any human force. Conclusion In these few verses we have a remarkable description of the true forces shaping humanity today. First and foremost Jesus, the Son of God. Second, War, the total opposite of love. Third commercialism, capitalism, motivated by greed, for the benefit of the few and the exploitation of billions. And finally fourth, Death in all of its forms.
