The fourth Horseman, Death on the Pale Horse.
Engraving by
Gustave Doré (1865).
When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come." I looked, and behold, a pale horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
— Revelation 6:7–8 (New American Standard Bible)
[40]The fourth and final Horseman is named
Death. Known as Θάνατος (Thanatos),
[41] of all the riders, he is the only one to whom the text itself explicitly gives a name. Unlike the other three, he is not described carrying a weapon or other object, instead he is followed by
Hades (the resting place of the dead). However, illustrations commonly depict him carrying a scythe (like the
Grim Reaper), sword,
[42] or other implement.
The color of Death's horse is written as khlōros (
χλωρός) in the original
Koine Greek,
[43] which can mean either green/greenish-yellow or pale/pallid.
[44] The color is often translated as "pale", though "ashen", "pale green", and "yellowish green"
[28] are other possible interpretations (the Greek word is the root of "
chlorophyll" and "
chlorine"). Based on uses of the word in ancient Greek medical literature, several scholars suggest that the color reflects the sickly pallor of a
corpse.
[3][45] In some modern artistic depictions, the horse is distinctly green.
[46][47][48]The verse beginning "they were given power over a fourth of the earth" is generally taken as referring to Death and Hades,
[28][49] although some commentators see it as applying to all four horsemen.
