Revelation: The Four Horsemen Of Revelation
The word “Apocalypse” is a source to the book of Revelation, which is the last Chapter in the bible. Its derived from the Greek word “Apokalupsis” for “revelation”, “warning” and/or “disclosure” but spelled Apocalypse in English meaning “uncovering”. In the bible, Revelation is used instead, which makes it ‘The Four Horsemen of Revelation’. In this chapter, it reveals and announces the major events that will take place prior to his return to the earth. Chapter 6, verses 1-8, simply describes the symbolic illustration of the future affairs that will occur in the end times. According to John Gottman, Ph.D.,

Complaint, Contempt, Defensiveness and Stonewalling, while the different horses are White, Red, Black and Pale. In Revelation 6:4, the second Horsemen of the Apocalypse mentions how towards the end times, a colossal and dreadful warfare will break out. For example,
“Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.”
The second Horsemen (Red) resembles the actions that are taking place now between the USA and North/South Korea. It hasn’t been a war yet, but by the US ‘crossing the red line’ the leader is declaring war, which may create a vicious showdown. In Revelation 6:8, the fourth (Pale) Horsemen of the Apocalypse reveals a symbolism of death and devastation within the world. By it reaching the last Horsemen of the Apocalypse, it states that furthermore warfare, starvation, plagues and diseases will become more affective and result to an appalling outcome that’s already spoken into existence. For example,
“I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the

    In modern, evangelical Christianity, the term “rapture” conjures up images of the Christian church being pulled from an earth in turmoil and swept away to Heaven. It is an image that is reminiscent of the “Left Behind” books, a fictional series which depicts a world in which a rapture of all of earth’s Christians has occurred, leaving behind only “sinners” to stare down the end of the world. This view of a “rapture” has become a popular one, and one that remains largely unquestioned by the evangelical Church. This rapture theology is not, however, Biblically founded or supported. In reality, this eschatological perspective is fairly new, and has only been around for about 180 years.…
