From Revelation 6:3-8 War When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, βCome!β And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword. Shortages, Famines When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, βCome!β And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, βA quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!β Death and Hades When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, βCome!β And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its riderβs name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.
