The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is a term describing four characters from the sixth chapter of Revelation, the last of the New Testament books. Scientists still disagree about what each of the riders represents, but they are often called the Conqueror (Plague, Disease, Mor), War, Hunger and Death (Sea). God calls them and empowers them to sow holy chaos and destruction in the world. The riders appear strictly one after another, each with the opening of another of the first four of the seven seals of the Book of Revelation.
