I'm not particularly religious, but I decided to compare the 4 Horsemen to the Bush Administration. The results are rather startling.
The 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."
Bush's 'crown' was given to him, not by the people, but by the Supreme Court. And, let's face it, his daddy helped too. So, if 'crown' referring to Monarchy, then this is spot on. And as for conquering, well if you don't think that Bush and his Conservative Cronies haven't conquered America and are trying to go for the rest of the world, then you need to think again.
The Red Horse - "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."
Once again, the Horseman is GIVEN something, and that is the right to wage war (given a great sword). And as for people killing each other, look at Iraq and it's Civil War.
The Black Horse - "And he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 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."
"The black color of the third horse could be a symbol of death and famine. Its rider was holding a scale, which means scarcity of food, higher prices, and famine, likely as a result of the wars from the second horseman. Food will be scarce, but luxuries such as wine and oil will still be readily available."
Hmm, we're at war, but the Rich have never had it easier, very interesting, eh?
The Pale Horse - "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."
The future of the Bush Administration?
