Dat story of Four Horsemen na one of di most popular and strong-bone story wey dey for world. E come from di last book for Bible, wey be Revelation. E dey sound like fear, but for inside, na story about wetin go happen if we no careful, and about hope. Dis one no be just old old story. Na strong sign for di things wey fit scatter our world. Make we break am down: who be dis four riders, wetin dem dey really mean, and ask di quiet question wey dey for everybody mind: Dem don start to waka for our world now abi dem still dey road dey come?
Why Dem Dey Come?
For di story, di Horsemen no be bad people or anyhow spirit because Dem get permission to come out. Heaven release dem as answer to world wey don turn im back completely for peace, truth, and life. Dia ride na like God’s judgment, series of bad-bad things wey go happen to shake human being well-well. Dem dey come to show di natural result of wetin human being choose: like to conquer by force, to fight war, to be greedy, and to bring death.
Di Four Horsemen: Simple Breakdown
1. Di White Horse: Conquer (To Take Over By Force)
- Colour: White (e dey usually mean false peace or win wey you win by force).
- Sign: Rider wey get bow and crown, dem give am.
- Wetin E Mean: No be open evil but na to conquer people with lie. Dis one na by force wey e go dey spread im power not always by war, but by sweet talk, by making culture follow am, by false promise, and bad belief. Na im dey plant lie for people eye, im dey clear road for wahala wey go follow by making people believe say fake salvation or dangerous better world dey.
2. Di Red Horse: War
- Colour: Red like fire.
- Sign: Rider wey get big sword, im dey take peace commot for earth.
- Wetin E Mean: Fight-fight and war for inside same country. Where di White Horseman plant lie, di Red Horseman go reap blood. Im mean say order don scatter, war don start, neighbour go dey fight neighbour, country go dey fight country. Na di raw, brutal killing wey follow peace wey fail.
3. Di Black Horse: Hunger (Famine)
- Colour: Black.
- Sign: Rider wey hold pair of scale (for measure things).
- Wetin E Mean: When thing no dey and money don spoil. War go destroy farm, di way wey we dey carry things, and peace. Di Black Horseman bring di sure result: serious shortage and when person wey get money and person wey no get dey different. Di scale mean say dem go dey share small-small food, where ordinary food (like wheat and barley) go cost like gold, but better-better thing (like oil and wine) go still dey for rich people. Na im be di hunger wey follow sword.
4. Di Pale Horse: Death
- Colour: “Pale” or yellow like person wey sick (like dead body).
- Sign: Rider wey im name na Death, and Hades (grave) dey follow am for back.
- Wetin E Mean: Di final, total result of di first three. Dem give Death power to kill by sword, by hunger, by sickness, and by bad-bad animal. Im no be di cause, na di last thing wey go happen. Im dey collect wetin di other horsemen don cause, bring di journey of destruction reach im sad end.
When Dem Go Show? Di Time Don Reach Now?
For Bible time, dem dey waka for time wey dem call “Great Tribulation.” But dia power get meaning and e fit happen any time.
Dem don dey waka now? No be as one single thing wey you fit point for calendar. But as sign, dia shadow dey always for human history.
- Conquer (White) dey waka for every bad leader wey get sweet mouth, every empire wey dem build on lie, every bad belief wey demand say everybody must follow.
- War (Red) dey waka for every war front, every bad thing wey terrorist dey do, and every violent protest.
- Hunger (Black) dey waka for every time economy spoil, every time food no dey because of war or weather, every time rich and poor difference too much.
- Death (Pale) dey waka for every sickness wey dey kill people (like pandemic), every time dem kill plenty people for one tribe, and every number of people wey die because of wetin di first three cause.
Time of di Horsemen na any time wey dis four things—lie, war, when thing no dey, and death—dey happen anyhow. We dey see dia footprint for history, from old empires go to world wars, reach to di problems wey full our news today.
Di Hope Wey Dey For Inside Di Warning
Story of di Horsemen dey fear person, but e no be di end of di story. For Revelation, dem na warning for worst road wey fit happen, to make person change and beg for forgiveness. Dia ride get limit. Dem put vision of rescue, renewal, and final peace wey dis things no go dey again for dia back.
Di message no be say make we dey live for fear of one day. Na mirror wey dem show human being: Na dis things dey destroy worlds. Choose different road. Choose truth instead of to conquer with lie, peace instead of war, to share things well instead of hunger, and to protect life instead of to allow death rule.
Di main question no be “When dem dey come?” E be, “Wetin we dey use build world—di tools of di Horsemen, or di foundation of peace?”
