Revelation of John 6:1-8
The Seven Seals
1Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of athe seven seals, and I heard bone of the four living creatures say cwith a voice like thunder, d“Come!” 2And I looked, and behold, ea white horse! And fits rider had a bow, and ga crown was given to him, and he came out hconquering, and to conquer.3When he opened the second seal, I heard ithe second living creature say, “Come!” 4And out came another horse, jbright red. Its rider was permitted kto take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
5When he opened the third seal, I heard the lthird living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, ma black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. 6And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, n“A quart ▼
▼Greek choinix, a dry measure equal to about a quart
of wheat for a denarius, ▼▼A denarius was a day’s wage for a laborer
and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and qdo not harm the oil and wine!” 7When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of rthe fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8And I looked, and behold, sa pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill twith sword and with famine and with pestilence and uby wild beasts of the earth.
