Revelation 6:2-8

New King James Version

² And I looked, and behold, ^(A)a white horse. ^(B)He who sat on it had a bow; ^(C)and a crown was given to him, and he went out ^(D)conquering and to conquer.

Second Seal: Conflict on Earth

³ When He opened the second seal, ^(E)I heard the second living creature saying, “Come ^[a]and see.” ^4 (F)Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to ^(G)take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

Third Seal: Scarcity on Earth

⁵ When He opened the third seal, ^(H)I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, ^(I)a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of ^(J)scales^[b] in his hand. ⁶ And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A ^[c]quart of wheat for a ^[d]denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and ^(K)do not harm the oil and the wine.”

Fourth Seal: Widespread Death on Earth

⁷ When He opened the fourth seal, ^(L)I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” ^8 (M)So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And ^[e]power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, ^(N)to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, ^(O)and by the beasts of the earth.
