The fourth and final horse is pale, upon it rides Death, accompanied by Hades. The third, a food merchant, rides a black horse symbolizing famine and carries the scales. The second carries a sword and rides a red horse as the creator of (civil) war, conflict, and strife. In John's revelation the first horseman rides a white horse, carries a bow, and is given a crown as a figure of conquest, perhaps invoking pestilence, or the Antichrist. The Lamb of God/ Lion of Judah opens the first four of the seven seals, which summons four beings that ride out on white, red, black, and pale horses, all of the horsemen save for Death are portrayed as being human in appearance. Revelation 6 tells of a book or scroll in God's right hand that is sealed with seven seals. They are not specifically identified there but subsequent commentary often identifies them as personifications of Death ( Moros), Famine ( Limos), War ( Ares), and Conquest or Glory ( Zelus). The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are figures in the Book of Revelation in the New Testament of the Bible, a piece of apocalypse literature written by John of Patmos.
