The White Horse, first of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, signifies a fake peace that introduces the most horrific period in the history of the world: the Tribulation period. Heralding the approaching white horse are the worthless politicians, their fat bellies smeared with gravy, crying "Peace, peace," and there is no peace. Instead, peace grows more distant, daily.

Today as never before, nations are rising up against nations. Civil wars are exploding with a murderous hate as citizens slaughter each other while vengeance permeates the earth.

The sword the second Horseman (the Red Horse) carries is called lJaxalpa IJEyaArl. This is not an ordinary sword of war, but one having the power of life and death, of public execution. It is the rampage of human passions raging to all forms of bloodshed until the earth itself is bathed red with blood. With war and bloody strife comes scarcity and famine in the form of the Black Horse. Although the Four Horsemen follow each other, it is not a case where the action of one ceases and the next comes into play. Instead, their careers overlap each other and their doings run side by side with each other.

The last of the Horsemen will be the Pale Horse, deathly green and cadaverous. XAwpoC; translates: a leprous color, the color of putrefying flesh, the color of a corpse. Pestilence and plagues, the mUltiplication of noxious creatures - the world is now overrun by legions of the dead. Cities become open graves, the dead too numerous for the living to bury, as over 5 billion perish. Hundreds of millions more will be injured and maimed. Isaiah 5: 14 teaches that even Hell must be enlarged to accommodate the lost dead.
