Book of Revelation
This is the chapter with the horsemen. These horses and their riders have symbolic meaning. It is important to mention that the horses are not literally horses since our current mode of transportation are automobiles -- the modern day equivalent of our four legged friends of yesteryear.
The four living creatures in Chapter 4 of Revelation own the automobiles. Their significance is merely symbolic as revealed here. Each horse and its rider’s and their symbolism is unveiled by God giving wisdom to the two witnesses through their life experiences and not without careful study of the Book of Revelation and a relationship with the Holy Spirit.
1
KJV: And I saw when the Lamb opened
one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four
beasts saying, Come and see.
Jesus, the Lamb, breaks open the first of seven seals. The living creature with a voice like thunder is either Jesus or David. I have heard David speak in a raised voice and his voice is very loud, deep, masculine, and very distinct. His subliminal messages spoke to me as if to say, hey you wake up!
2
KJV: And I saw, and behold a
white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given
unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
1976 Toyota Corolla, white (background)
I left my mother’s house in the car above. I had a baby boy and subsequently went to work outside the home and married the father of the child, then went to work full time so that me and my new family could move out of my mother’s house a year after the birth of the baby as this was the agreement made between my mother and myself. My new husband was a big party animal and I fought hard to get him to slow his wild ways. I was against cocaine and did not do cocaine while I drove this car. I was a victim of domestic abuse and fought many battles with my son’s father.
I did not become unfaithful until I bought the new grey 1988 Nissan in the foreground of the above picture. Shortly after I bought the new car, I did have a one-night stand to get back at my new husband when he was staying out all night many nights and was sure he was cheating on me.
The year make of the Toyota was 1976, which was the 200th bicentennial of the United States of America. It was also the year my father passed away.
Dave also drives a white automobile, a work van. He owned the van when he lived across the street from Bob and I during the time of our divorce proceedings. David’s actual white van is pictured in Revelation 19:11.
3
KJV: And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
Jesus broke open the second seal. The second living creature from Chapter 4 of Revelation is the bull (calf or ox) and is Debra. I was the rider of the red horse in the next verse. “Come” and show me its symbolism.
4
KJV: And
there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him
that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one
another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
Debra owned a 1991 Chevrolet Lumina Euro 3.1 for 10 years. The color of the car was “torch red.” The red color is symbolic of “blood” and symbolizes war.
“Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth,” means that I wasn’t yet working for God towards peace and goodwill and war ensued. Please remember that the car and its rider are symbolic so the symbolism for “large sword” is the military muscle of the United States of America.
The United States Armed Forces are the overall unified military forces of the United States. First formed during the Continental Congress, the Armed Forces of the United States was permanently established after World War II. At the dawn of the 21st century it continues to be recognized as the world's premiere military -- peerless in power and scope today, and having no real precedent in recorded history. [2]

I went to Wikipedia.org and searched “war 1991.” The Gulf War was the result of the search.
The Gulf War or Persian Gulf War (2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991)[8][9] was a conflict between Iraq and a coalition force from 34 nations[10] authorized by the United Nations (UN) and led primarily by the United States in order to return Kuwait to the control of the Emir of Kuwait. The conflict developed in the context of the Iran-Iraq War. The invasion of Kuwait by Iraqi troops was met with immediate economic sanctions against Iraq by some members of the UN Security Council. The expulsion of Iraqi troops from Kuwait began in January 1991 and was a decisive victory for the coalition forces, which took over Kuwait and entered Iraqi territory. Aerial and ground combat was confined to Iraq, Kuwait, and bordering areas of Saudi Arabia. Iraq also launched missiles against targets in Saudi Arabia and Israel in retaliation for their support of the invading forces in Kuwait. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War
The symbolism for the red horse is the war in the Middle East. Has it ended yet?
5
KJV: And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
Jesus breaks open the third seal. The third living creature is Jesus (see Revelation Chapter 4). Come and see its symbolism.
The black horse is a symbol of famine. Bob, the first living creature, owned this 1985 Chevy S-10 that we bought used in 1989. Bob dabbled in dealing cocaine and did own a pair of scales.
If you’ve done cocaine, you know what it does to your appetite. The model year of the black truck above is 1985; therefore, the symbolism for the black horse is the famine in Ethiopia of 1984 - 1985:

6
KJV: And I
heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a
penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil
and the wine.
(NIV)
7
KJV: And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
The 4th living creature is Dave, the eagle (the national symbol of America). Come forward and show me the symbolism of the next horse and its rider(s).
8
KJV: And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
In 1993, Bob bought a new used pale blue Chevy W/T 1500 pick-up truck. The model year of the truck is 1990.
Also, in 1993, Bob bought a used Harley motorcycle. The model year of the Harley is 1979.
After much study of the “pale horse” many interpretations say this horse’s color is olive green.
Debra would have ridden in the seat behind Bob, thereby “following him.”
Debra is dark skinned and has an olive green complexion.
After Bob bought the Harley and the newer truck, he and Debra started drinking and using cocaine regularly. Debra became pregnant and had the first of three abortions during which time she owned the fiery red car.
With the unrepentant mortal sin of murder on their hands Hell and Hades would surely follow for Bob and Debra.
What does this symbolism mean to the big picture and how it relates to the ways of the world? The symbolism here was more difficult to reveal than the other horses and took much investigation and concentration.
Pale green or olive green is a symbol of death and destruction, therefore -
The pale blue truck is a 1990:
1990 - U.S. President George H. W. Bush delivers a nationally televised speech in which he threatens the use of force to remove Iraqi soldiers from Kuwait, which Iraq had recently invaded. He mentions the term "New World Order" in this speech for the first time, which is also named "Towards a New World Order".
Main article: North Korean famine
The Harley is a 1979:
The phrase one-child policy is commonly used in English to refer to the population control policy (or Planned Birth policy) of the People's Republic of China (PRC).
The Chinese government introduced the policy in 1979 to alleviate the social and environmental problems of China.[1] The policy is controversial both within and outside China because of the issues it raises; because of the manner in which the policy has been implemented; and because of concerns about negative economic and social consequences. However, there are still a few citizens that continue to have more than one child, despite this policy.[2]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Child_Policy
Abortion is murder and is a mortal sin for both the father and the mother.
Also, in 1979, Saddam Hussein became President of Iraq:
Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti (Arabic: صدام حسين عبد المجيد التكريتي Ṣaddām Ḥusayn ʿAbd al-Majīd al-Tikrītī[1]; April 28, 1937[2] – December 30, 2006)[3] was the President of Iraq from July 16, 1979 until April 9, 2003.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddam_Hussein
Saddam Hussein was a war criminal – he tested chemical weapons on Kurdish people and killed thousands in the process.

Bob and Debbie bought the Harley in 1993. The license plates expired on March 31, 1993 and were never renewed.
On March 31, 1999 the movie, The Matrix was released:
The Matrix is a 1999 science fiction action film written and directed by Larry and Andy Wachowski and starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Joe Pantoliano, and Hugo Weaving. It was first released in the USA on March 31, 1999,

Don’t let them microchip you!
A Matrix is a mathematical or financial table that multiplies:

With the growth of wealth in this country, so has man fallen. The beast was in the Twin Towers, which houses the World Trade Center. The financial Mecca of the world – modern day Babylon:

“And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” means a host of death and destruction. The “one-fourth” could mean that as many as 25% of the world’s population during this time period has succumbed to death due to war, famine, disease and all other corruptions of our current society.
In effect, the statement that they were given power over a fourth part of the earth to kill with sword and with hunger and with death and with the beasts of the earth.” summarizes the activities of the second, third and fourth riders, not merely the fourth.
The sword is typical of war, and with the beasts of the earth would mean fighting men and women as all of humankind are beasts of the earth.
The one fourth may even be in reference to an actual abortion rate.

KJV: And
when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of
them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Jesus broke open the fifth seal.
An altar is a place of sacrifice. Underneath are those that were killed and became martyrs because they bore witness to Jesus Christ, “the word made flesh” like John the Baptist and Simon Peter.
The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist (alternate names: Decollation of Saint John the Baptist and Beheading of the Forerunner) is a holy day observed by various Christian churches which follow liturgical traditions. The day commemorates the biblical event recounting the martyrdom of Saint John the Baptist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beheading_of_John_the_Baptist
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Peter#Death
He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
According to Christian tradition:

(NIV)
10
KJV: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Those in verse 9 are asking Jesus how much longer will their blood be avenged on the wicked people of the earth and they are judged.
11
KJV: And
white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them,
that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also
and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
A white robe is a symbol of being repentant, spiritually clean, followers of Jesus, of blessedness and purity.
12
KJV: And I
beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great
earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the
moon became as blood;
Jesus opens the sixth seal.
This great earthquake is the bombs falling on the earth doing as much damage, if not more, than an earthquake.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:USAF_F-16A_F-15C_F-15E_Desert_Storm_pic.jpg
“the sun turned black like sackcloth” means that all the oil wells that were burning created so much dark black smoke that the sun was blighted.
“of hair” probably means this sackcloth was a rough cloth or that the cloth had movement and many strands or perhaps from the heavens it appeared as if the earth was growing hair.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sackcloth
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwaiti_oil_fires
“the whole moon turned blood red” means nighttime fighting and bloodshed during the nighttime air strikes led by the U.S. and its allies during the Operation Desert Storm war. http://www.usatoday.com/news/index/iraq/nirq050.htm

KJV: And
the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her
untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Revelation 1:20
[20] The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
People are like stars that enter the Heavens, they are the good fruit in God’s Kingdom – many peoples are like the stars of the heaven:
1. [17] That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
1. [4] And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
[11] But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Many people are dying untimely deaths due to war.

Mark 13:24-29
24] But in those days, after that
tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
[25] And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven
shall be shaken.
[26] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with
great power and glory.
[27] And then shall he send his
angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the
uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
[28] Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
[29] So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to
pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
14
KJV: [14] And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
“Heaven departed” means no longer is the “word of God” known because the Holy Bible is not being read like it used to – it is like a rolled up scroll and the pathway to Heaven taken with it.
“every mountain and island were moved out of their places” means there are many earthquakes in the end times and various disasters of biblical proportions will disrupt the land from their usual places. These times are referred to as times of “great distress.”
15
KJV: And
the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief
captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid
themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Saddam Hussein was found in a hole in the ground hiding in the rocky mountains of the Middle East. These “dens” were probably built for military use.

On December 13, 2003, citing Kurdish leader Jalal Talabani, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) of Iran was first to report the apprehension and arrest of Saddam Hussein. These reports were soon confirmed by other members of the Iraq Interim Governing Council, U.S. military sources, and by British prime minister Tony Blair. In a Baghdad press conference with the U.S. civil administrator in Iraq, Paul Bremer, Saddam's capture was formally announced, leading with, “Ladies and gentlemen, we got him!” Bremer went on to report the time as approximately 8:30 p.m. local (23:30 UTC), on December 13, in an underground “spider hole” at a farmhouse in ad-Dawr near his home town Tikrit, in what was called Operation Red Dawn.[38]

KJV: And
said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him
that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
People are fearful that it is the end of days and they sense God’s wrath.
17
KJV: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
God and Jesus are mad at us. Be watchful, you are warned.
