Unveiling Truths Amid Chaos: Ed Simon’s Radical Take on Writing in the Apocalypse
In the Bible’s Book of Revelation, the end times are visited upon humanity by the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The white horse symbolizes pestilence, or disease; the red horse, war and bloodshed, particularly civil war; the black horse, famine, with the price of food rising while wages stagnate; and the pale horse, death.
This imagery is not just limited to the Bible, but was seen to have happened to the Roman Empire, as well. Those who have interpreted the four horsemen as applying to the present day have given the horses different representations, for example Evangelical interpretations by American protestants: white—Catholicism, red—Communism, black—capitalism, and pale (green)—Islam.
