The Third Horseman of the Apocalypse Revealed..

The Book of Revelation is very ambiguous and vague...its predictions can be (and have been) intepreted in thousands and thousands of ways. This vagueness and flexibility has kept people guessing for 2000 years, and I'd wager that 2000 years from now people will still be scratching their heads over the imagery used in Revelation and trying to shoehorn this or that current event into the framework that the book puts forth.

Psychedelic mushrooms do indeed grow wild on the Island of Patmos, where John had the visions that comprise the book. Perhaps he had a little fungal "inspiration" while stranded there...that seems at least as likely as any of the other explanations I've heard over the years.

This is interesting so we will find out the fourth horseman soon .

I wounder who could it be.

Yes, OP's theory completely makes sense because Bible was written by and for USA as they are the nation of God, under the God and they were meant to be ruling the world. /endsarcasm

Have you ever thought that there might be someone that's not that plain and obvious? Puppets in the spotlight could never be the main actors.

I bet your ass that those same horsemen are Russian, Chinese and like effing Mexican or something. The world is bigger than your USA-centric views.

Something to think about: How would a Japanese person pronounce 'Barack' I imagine it would sound like 'borrakku' which means black.

The four horseman, are not men. Research

exactly.. holy smokes the 4th pale horse is Hillary Clinton..

Revelations are probably just Roman events. However, Nostradamus mirrors a much longer lived chronicle. White is the 1000 year Christian monarchy. Odoacer became King of Rome in 474, at the beginning of the Dark Ages ( extended volcanic winters).( 474 A.D. to the age of Discovery, 1450 A.D.) Then the Red revolution of his "Vulgar Advent" takes hold for a couple of Centuries, starting with the French and American Revolutions. From thence, comes the Black National Socialism, of the Fascists, who ride far and wide, but only for a short while. This leaves us after about 1960 with the coming of the Pale Horse, accompanied by "Death". Robert Oppenheimer probably nailed this with his Vedic "Behold I'm become Death" quote, at the Trinity test, in 1945. The Fatima warnings will turn 100 years in May of 2017, so this may be the pivot for the last of the four horsemen. Whatever that third secret was, it was supposed to be able to be divulged to the masses in 1960, so that's why I used this date as a demarcation between Fascism and what comes after it.
My personal conclusion is that 2017 may well be just as violent as 1917 was. Nosty has been interpreted as claiming that the world's paper currency economy will totally crash, and then Monarchical Power will return to the Earth. Somewhere in here, is Washington's Third Prophecy. Here, I would note that just like the Sunburst on his chair at the Carpenter's Hall, in Philadelphia, the Sunburst, (Sun), of the Republic, rises in the East, and sets in the West. And this is the reason he was shewed a terrible American Civil War II, starting on our Pacific Shores and rolling Eastwards all the way to a climactic battle on the Atlantic Seaboard. The Spanish Influenza killed four times as many people as did the Great War, just before it. If the next catastrophe joins military might with man made plagues, all in the same times and theatres of action, then the Fourth Horseman and his side kick, "Death", will really put paid to our present commercialized world, by the 2030's.

Did you vote for him twice?

Good evening folks,


It seems that ever since the U.S. Presidential Election of 2008 entered its' primary season, people have been posting threads and videos proclaiming Barack Obama as being the Antichrist, to the point of a sticky being necessary at the top of this forum to remind people not to make new threads about it. Although I admittedly see the charisma and personality that the President-elect has, I have always been against the notion of him being the Antichrist. I'm not afraid to say that I even voted for him (But I usually go to the left anyway). That is not what this thread is about whatsoever. But I do feel that he IS a figure from the end-times book of Revelation, authored by John of Patmos. Which figure do you ask? Well is it not obvious?

In Revelation, Chapter 6, Verse 5, it describes the four horsemen of the apocalypse. It gives the order in which they appear, and it gives their description to allow clues as to what they mean and symbolize so that the faithful may discern whether or not they are present. First allow me to say that I do not think the horsemen are literal people, but represent the entire era of a particular person. The symbolism goes far beyond the individual, yet there is an individual present whom matches the description of each horseman themselves, respectfully.

The first horsemen is described as being on a white horse, having a crown, and a bow, riding forth to conquer. However, one small detail most miss is that he is carrying no quiver of arrows, nor does he have a single arrow notched in his bow. This symbolizes military strength, particularly in projectile warfare of a larger scale (aircraft, missiles, etc), but not the actual use of it. Conquering through other means whilst having the showpiece weaponry. The crown symbolizes nobility and the part of the world this horseman would be occurring in. To me, it's obvious that the formation of the European Union, spearheaded by the governments of countries who represent monarchies, former monarchies, and other royalty was the start of the era of this horseman. Also, the ancestral homeland of whats commonly known to be 'white' people. The world leader on the scene at the time who has the horseman's features? Quite a few, but just to throw one out there, President Clinton was relatively peaceful with the capability to not be (bow w/no arrows). He made the U.S. integral to the Bosnian conflict's resolution, but did it through NATO, not through his own nation acting alone. A bow with no arrows.

The second horseman is described as being on a red horse, and makes war with all the nations. This horseman symbolicly represents the U.S. led 'War on Terrorism' since it began on September 11th, 2001. This is the horseman we've been living under the influence of ever since, but are about to pass finally. We're currently in the last portion of this one's influence. The Terror War has involved countries all across the World, of all types of government, all types of religion, friends and foes alike, no nation has been excluded. Who is the man embodying the characteristics of the horseman during this period of time? Again, quite a few, but I'd have to say President Bush OR Osama Bin Laden, or both. Some used to think the red symbolized Communism but as we see, it has nothing to do with it.

The third horseman is described as being on a black horse and carrying a scale. The hosts of God tell John the bit about wheat and barley costing a certain amount of denarius each, and do not touch the oil or wine, meaning those are extremely expensive or not available. This symbolizes famine as we all know who have looked into this at all, even watching one show about it on TV would tell you this. The economy problems the U.S. is facing RIGHT before and during the inauguration of the next President Barak Obama is quite telling of the change thats occurring from Horseman #2 to Horseman #3. So while Obama is President we will have to deal with this economy fallout, potential collapse, or the potential creation of the American Union, or even a new currency. The rest of the world follows suit and their markets suffer when the U.S. markets suffer. This is the horseman we will be under from the moment of the inauguration onward, and the man on the world scene that embodies some of the physical traits of the horseman is obviously President-elect Barak Obama. Being the 'first black President' of the U.S. seems to be quite the big deal, even across the world. Black is symbolized perfectly. Black President + Economic problems like never before seen in our era = 3rd horseman.

The fourth horseman is on a pale horse and represents the Antichrist and Death. Some leading interpreters of Revelation think he symbolizes plagues and viruses, or chemicals unleashed on the people of the planet. This essay has little to do with the final horseman, and his appearance is still a ways away in the opinion of the author. These riders 'Herald the Apocalypse'. This means that they bring it in, that they introduce it, that it begins when theyve made their appearance. This would mean we are one horseman away from full-out tribulation according to the Book of Revelation. We draw ever nearer, particularly with the next horseman era looming on the horizon. Within a week we will be under the influence of the next horseman. I pray for us all, even those who'd wish against being prayed for, that we can make it through the upcoming times as the financal AND food/medicine situations worsen, and I advise people to start doing without a little bit more all the time, so that when hardship strikes, it slides right off of you.

God bless you all!

Either A. because as it appears God works in a way that communicates through certain prophetic people and laces the communications with heavily embedded layers of symbolism and multi-dimensional meaning, or B. at some point the bible was infiltrated by the same bastards driving us into the ground today, those who seemingly have ownership over the worlds a stage, and the media. In with the Stage, Out with the Show. You pick. I personally feel that with the proper warning, which has been given, that we the people could actually turn this story all the way around and avoid all the nastiness in revelations, but we'd have to move soon, and fast. Or, we believe the bull# and allow for it to be staged. You pick. a reply to: ravenshadow13

The third holds the weight
Hunger third rider of the apocalypse
A third of them coming on a black horse with a weight in his hand symbolizes the hunger-untamed desire
The third attribute of weight, which can be found on every dollar - means the hunger
weight symbolizes justice, with its help will be weighed spiritual food

Barack Obama in this case would be the rider of the apocalypse representing biblical famine.
And the World Economic Crisis
