The Four Horsemen

     The Four Horsemen are depicted in the Book of Revelation. They are war, famine, conquest (pestilence in modern culture), and death. They are the first in a series of "Seal" judgments. These judgments are when God will judge the living. St. Irenaeus depicted the horsemen of war as Christ himself with the white horse as the success of the gospels. The Horsemen represent the effects sin committed.
