WHO OR WHAT IS THE RIDER ON THE PALE HORSE?

The book of Revelation Chapter 6 talks about the "Four Horsemen" laying waste to the Earth. Throughout the centuries various translations of the Bible have used similar terms for the red horse, the white horse, and the black horse. But what about the "pale" horse? 

If we go to the original Greek, the word used was χλωρός – chloros -- meaning pale green. If it sounds familiar, it is where we get the word "chlorophyll" from--the green pigment found in plants and algae [(χλωρός, chloros ("green") and φύλλον, phyllon ("leaf")]. Because a green horse may have seemed rather odd for some Bible scholars or translators, they may have opted instead to simply use the word "pale." However, with our modern eyes, the understanding of the pale green horse becomes more clear. Revelation 6:8 says: "I looked up and saw a horse whose color was pale green. Its rider was named Death, and his companion was the Grave. These two were given authority over one-fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword and famine and disease and wild animals."  

So then the colors of the 4 apocalyptic horsemen are black, white, red and green. Interestingly, the colors of Islam are these same colors. Green was apparently Mo's favorite color, and even more interestingly, these 4 colors are in the flags, emblems, buildings, history, and propaganda of the Islamic state. Nearly every Islamic nation uses these particular colors in their flag. Islam is extremely forthright about converting the world for Islam. Refusing to convert, is usually an automatic death sentence. It's also no surprise that "killing with the sword" is something Islam is well known for, as they go around chopping off the heads of Middle Eastern infidels, and hack their way through African communities with machetes. The term "Islam" itself means submission. And jihad means struggle. So anyone who is Muslim can engage in jihad as long as it is in the name of Islam and their false idol of a god, allah. Because, y'know...72 virgins.

Today, about one-quarter of the earth follows Islam (Middle East, Africa, Asia, Indonesia). Not surprisingly, a great majority of these areas are indeed being taken over and destroyed by Islamic militants, many times followed by famine and disease, due to the instability of the region that was taken over (not surprisingly, refugees coming into the U.S. are now being discovered with diseases once thought to be eradicated, such as TB, leprosy and even the plague. Thanks, Obama!)
