The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are told of in the Bible as precursors to the end of mankind. The first Horseman is known as Pestilence who is responsible for death by disease and rebellions; riding a white horse. The second is known as War or the one that makes people kill one another and rides a red horse. The third is Famine who not only destroys the crops and food, but those hungry for more than food; he rides a black horse. The fourth is Death, also known as the grim reaper, who is catastrophe and rides a pale green horse. These Horsemen can be found in the New Testament in the book of Revelations in chapter 6, the Seven Seals.
