Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse

Father

Devourer of Truth
generally curious. the bible states them as the white horse red horse black horse and gray horse, or Conquest War Famine Death
1920px-Apocalypse_vasnetsov.jpg


So why does 90% of Media mainly Shows based on it always state them as
War Pestilence Famine Death. they completely remove Conquest and makeup one. there is no room for mistranslation how does a white horse with an archer connect to pestilence?
I get no one even the religious actually read the bible but come on here.

I mean if we are just going to completely throw away the book why not replace death with
I don't know
Cyberspace?

The Bible only identifies the horses (except for Death) as is my understanding. The actual roles or "horsemen" differ depending on interpretation and perhaps translation. But don't quote me on that. I don't know many Bibles lol
Although dat cyberspace pic is pretty awesome, not gonna lie.

For crying out loud, I thought everyone knew who the real four horsemen are.
Hannity, O’reily, Bannon, and Limbaugh

This is how we see the ride of the horsemen.....

The Four Horsemen—Who Are They? — Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY

WHITE HORSE

The rider pictures Jesus Christ. He began ruling in 1914 and will soon complete his conquest, ending all suffering.

176


FIERY-COLORED HORSE
The rider represents warfare. World wars and smaller conflicts have taken countless lives since 1914.

178


BLACK HORSE
The rider denotes famine. Food shortages have ended or ruined the lives of tens of millions.

180


PALE HORSE
The rider brings premature death due to disease and other factors. The Grave gathers up the victims.

182

I wonder if it is ever explained in the Watchtower magazine how Jesus is seen in heaven opening the seals and also riding. That is one problem.

Another problem is how to explain that Jesus got all authority soon after he died but then according to the Jehovah's Witnesses he gets it again in 1914.

A third problem is the rider comes before every bad thing for the Earth. Is the rider in no way guilty by association?

Another problem with the Watchtower picture is the added arrows. Arrows are not mentioned. Jehovah's Witnesses know about adding to Revelation. It is forbidden.

The fifth problem is that it is not clear who gives him the crown. Is it the Jehovah's Witnesses who do?

The sixth problem is that the rider is riding to overcome. Surely Jehovah's Witnesses know that Jesus overcame during his life and with his faithfulness to the end.

The Jehovah's Witnesses are assuming arrows. What else are they assuming?
Luke 16:10 Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

Are you off on tangents again?

"The vision begins this way: “I saw, and look! a white horse, and the one seated on it had a bow; and a crown was given him, and he went out conquering and to complete his conquest.”—Revelation 6:2."

(from the previous link)

It kind of stands to reason that if someone has a bow and is completing his conquest....it would be a bit silly without arrows. :confused:

It is silly. Why can't the Bible show silliness?

Jesus is he who knocks on people's doors to sup with them.
The Spirit of Jesus is sharp like a sword. A sword is only for contact. A sword isn't thrown.
Even if it is alright to assume arrows, they are for flying. And one arrow for one kill.
Also, Jesus isn't for killing, but for living. He is the way, the truth, and the LIFE.
