(tm)The fourth seal

Back to The End Time Judgments

---

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:7,8)

The opening of the fourth seal, Death riding on a pale horse accompanied by Hell, represents the slaying of people by violence, by famine, by disease, and by wild animals. Although the world prides itself on becoming "civilized," the fact remains that many in our own day are dying by violence, by famine, and by various plagues. The Word of God cannot be changed by the efforts of man.
