The Four Horsemen

And when he had opened the fourth seal

I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, come

And I looked, and behold a pale horse

And his name that sat on him was death, and hell followed with him

And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth

To kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death

And with the beasts of the earth

Revelation 6. 7, 8, read by A.W. tozer

In the way of the one

Lives the love of all

In the love of all

Dwells the heart of one

All forms are temporary

All forms are subject to pain

All forms are without reality

The hooves– the sound approaching

At last have now arrived

Their thunder like the breath of an angel

Descending, riding, gone

Humanity is doomed!

If we are part of humanity, identified with humanity

In sympathy with humanity, we are doomed

If we attempt to save humanity from its doom, we shall fail

Because humanity has chosen its doom

And has shown its unwillingness to reverse its choice

Satan rules now, for fear is master of the world

And soon shall come the time of the final end -- the judgment

And after the judgment, the devastation. And fear shall increase

Bow your head and shield your eyes

Bow your head and shield your eyes

For lo, I see before me a white horse

In power and glory is bursting forth

A great sign appeared in heaven

A woman clothed with the Sun, with the Moon under her feet

And a crown of twelve stars on her head

She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth

Then another sign appeared in heaven

An enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads

Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth

The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth

So that it might devour her child the moment he was born

Bow your head and shield your eyes

Bow your head and shield your eyes

The second seal is opened, a red horse

In fiery anger is bursting forth, is bursting forth

Through the darkness of the heavens

Be not blind! Know that the end must come

That the demon fear has triumphed over man, and man shall destroy himself

But go not into the darkness with him

For those who are not afraid there is light, the light of the lord Lucifer

Attend lord Lucifer!

Bow your head and shield your eyes

Bow your head and shield your eyes

The third seal is opened, a black horse

Of mighty presence is bursting forth, is bursting forth

Through the blackness of the heavens

And on his back a princely angel with scales in hand

Of power unbounded, is riding forth, is riding forth

And then, will you lie, a victim, cringing before the striding monster from the pit?

Will you succumb to Satan's test, and flee in helpless terror from the inexorable onslaught?

Or will you, with Satan himself, arise amidst the cataclysms?

Will you take the sword of defiance that Satan offers, to wield against the enemy, fear, that Satan sends to prove your strength?

Will you stand proud beside the great destroyer, and defy the devastation

Of the Armageddon?

Bow your head and shield your eyes

Bow your head and shield your eyes

The fourth seal is opened, a pale horse

Most dread creation is bursting forth, is bursting forth

Through the blackness of the heavens

And on his back, a faceless specter

With death beside him

And power unknown is riding forth, is riding forth

Through all eternity, to starve and tear asunder

The wrath of the lamb has come

The great spirit of the son

To heal the wounds that the conflict of the mind

And the pow’r of death brought to

The sacred land of the gods
