The 4 Riders of the Apocalypse.
-This next composition comes from a different setting and situation, but also involves travelling. -
-They appear in chapter 6 of the Book of Revelation and represent the coming catastrophes.-
White Rider.
It interprets conquest and expansionism. It is the power that advances and dominates.
Red Rider.
Widespread chaos, conflicts. It has no face, but it is reddish.
Black Rider.
The scales are in his hands, symbolising extreme rationing: measuring grain precisely when it is scarce.
Pale Rider.
The raider does not act alone: behind him comes Hades, as if dragging an entire kingdom destined for death.
Apocalypse.
Prophetic, a series of revelations about the end of the world. A text, a symbol. Events and occurrences are described that will trigger the end of time.
The Last Book.
.This occurred in the first century.
