Gustave Doré - Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, 1865. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are a group of mythical riders described in the Book of Revelation. The Horsemen each ride on a colored horse - white, red, black, and pale - and represent various dramatic qualities. Regarding three of the Horsemen, there is a basic consensus as to their meaning, with red symbolizing war, black symbolizing famine, and pale representing death and disease. The rider of the white horse is more controversial,with some considering him to represent the Antichrist. The vision of the Four Horsemen describes events related to the Last Days, interpreted by some as relating to the future and by others as describing events occurring in the times when the author of the Book of Revelation was writing, during the pre-Christian Roman Empire. Still others believe that the events should be interpreted allegorically, as spiritual truths rather than specific events from the past or future.
