One God, All in all
My friend and I love the book of Revelation in the Bible. Both of us were Theology students and both of us studied many different interpretations and perceptions on the book of Revelation. So we've had one of our many discussions on it when my friend ask me this question: Are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalyps demonic, angelic, human or a mixture of these?
I've immediately found this a very interesting question as I've never before read anything about this. Normally there's just explanations on what they may or may not represent and not on what exactly they are.
My personal opinion is that they might be a mixture of demon, angel and human and here's why - the white horse is according to me false peace and therefore I believe this is a human being (though possibly possessed by a demon or even Satan himself), the second horse and the pale horse is war and famine and therefore most probably demons, the last horse is Death himself and as I believe that this is the same Death spoken of in other parts of the Bible such as where the Egyptian firstborn were killed etc I think he is an angel.
Now I realize that this is a very literal interpretation, but please humor me. Please also give reasons why you believe them to be either angels, demons, humans or a mixture.:angel2(
