The Four Horsemen

The Four Horsemen are symbolic figures from the Bible’s Book of Revelation, representing different kinds of suffering and chaos that accompany apocalyptic events. They are often interpreted as four stages or forces: the White Horse signifies conquest or deception, the Red Horse symbolizes war and bloodshed, the Black Horse represents famine and scarcity, and the Pale Horse signifies death and destruction. These figures serve as allegories for major human struggles during catastrophic times, illustrating how conflict, hunger, and death can unfold together in periods of upheaval.
