WHITE HORSE.THE RIDER ON THE HORSE HELD A BOW.THE RIDER WAS GIVEN A CROWN. HE RODE OUT, DEFEATING THE ENEMY.HE RODE OUT TO WIN THE VICTORY.

1.     ANOTHER HORSE! A RED ONE! THE RIDER ON THE HORSE WAS GIVEN POWER TO TAKE AWAY PEACE FROM THE EARTH.HE WAS GIVEN POWER TO MAKE PEOPLE KILL EACH OTHER.HE WAS GIVEN A BIG SWORD.

2.     A BLACK HORSE.THE RIDER ON THE HORSE HELD A PAIR OF SCALES IN HIS HAND.”A QUART OF WHEAT FOR A DAY’S PAY, THREE QUARTS OF BARLEY FOR A DAY’S PAY.AND DON’T HURT THE OIL AND WINE.

3.     A PALE COLOURED HORSE.THE RIDER ON THE HORSE WAS DEATH. HADES(A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE GO AFTER THEY DIE)WAS FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND HIM.THEY WERE GIVEN POWER TO KILL PEOPLE BY USING THE SWORD,BY STARVING,BY DISEASE,AND WITH THE WILD ANIMALS OF THE EARTH.

4.     SOULS UNDER THE ALTER.THEY WERE THE SOULS OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN KILLED BECAUSE THEY WERE FAITHFUL TO GOD’S MESSAGE AND TO THE TRUTH THEY HAD RECEIVED.THE SOULS SHOUTED IN A LOUD VOICE,”HOLY AND TRUE LORD,HOW LONG UNTIL YOU JUDGE THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH AND PUNISH THEM FOR KILLING US?”

5.     A GREAT EARTHQUAKE.THE SUN BECAME DARK LIKE BLACK CLOTH MADE FROM HAIR.THE FULL MOON BECAME RED LIKE BLOOD.THE STARS IN THE SKY FELL TO THE EARTH LIKE A FIG TREE DROPS ITS FIGS WHEN THE WIND BLOWS.THE SKY WAS DIVIDED.IT WAS ROLLED UP LIKE A SCROLL.EVERY MOUNTAIN AND ISLAND WAS MOVED FROM IT’S PLACE.ALL THE PEOPLE HID IN CAVES AND BEHIND THE ROCKS ON THE MOUNTAINS.THERE WERE THE KINGS OF THE WORLD, THE RULERS,THE GENERALS,THE RICH AND THE POWERFUL.EVERY PERSON,SLAVE AND FREE HID HIMSELF.THEY SAID,”THE GREAT DAY FOR THEIR ANGER HAS COME.”

6.     SEVEN ANGELS WITH TRUMPETS IN THEIR STOOD IN FRONT OF GOD.ANOTHER ANGEL CAME AND STOOD AT THE ALTER.THIS ANGEL HAD A GOLDEN HOLDER FOR INCENSE.THE ANGEL THREW THE INCENSE HOLDER ON THE EARTH.THEN THERE WERE FLASHES OF LIGHTNING, THUNDER AND OTHER NOISES,AND AN EARTHQUAKE!
