The four horsemen of the Apocalypse are described in Revelation chapter 6, verses 1-8. The four horsemen are symbolic descriptions of different events which will take place in the end times. The first horseman of the Apocalypse is mentioned in Revelation 6:2: “I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.” This first horseman likely refers to the Antichrist, who will be given authority and will conquer all who oppose him. The antichrist is the false imitator of the true Christ, who will also return on a white horse (Revelation 19:11-16).
The second horseman of the Apocalypse appears in Revelation 6:4, “Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.” The second horseman refers to terrible warfare that will break out in the end times. The third horseman is described in Revelation 6:5-6, “...and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, ‘A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!’” The third horseman of the Apocalypse refers to a great famine that will take place, likely as a result of the wars from the second horseman.
The fourth horseman is mentioned in Revelation 6:8, “I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.” The fourth horseman of the Apocalypse is symbolic of death and devastation. It seems to be a combination of the previous horsemen. The fourth horseman of the Apocalypse will bring further warfare and terrible famines along with awful plagues and diseases. What is most amazing, or perhaps terrifying, is that the four horsemen of the Apocalypse are just “precursors” of even worse judgments that come later in the tribulation (Revelation chapters 8–9 and 16).

You seem to be a reasonable person by your reply.My suggestion is to not buy into this doom and gloom porn at all(not even a bit).It is all 100% false.The book of Revelation has zero to do with events in history called the end times .The book of Revelation is metaphorical and none of it is predictions or prophecies of past present or future historical events.Some people only see what they want to see, and they want to see doom and gloom drama.I am not judging them my suggestion is to stay away from them or their drama will rain hail stones on your life.Yes the world has gone a bit nuts....it's best not to contribute any more from the peanut gallery.

I was under the impression that every so often humankind experiences some kind of anti-Christ phenomenon. There have been three so far - Napoleon, Hitler and I have no idea who the other was, I forget at the moment. I believe the fourth one is Obama, although he gets assassinated before the war begins.

Well, it all depends on how you see it m8. Why wouldn't it be possible for mankind to have a glimpse at some of his possible futures?
I strongly believe you can see the future in some dreams and self-induced relaxation state. So if you believe it is possible, you can easily think about the possibility life itselfs could warn his own creation about potential threats, life-threatening one, or should I say, Mass-Extinction Threatening one.
What makes you think that if clairvoyance is possible, it wouldn't be used for the main goal of our existence:

When you look at it, and look at what we have been going through since the last 20 years, it kind of feels very disturbing.
War, food contamination, famine, lies, deception.
Dangerous mix.
