"I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades follwed with him, And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth" (Revelation 6:8).
“And there will be... pestilences” (Matthew 24:7).
Jesus revealed that down through history, mankind would experience pestilences. The potential for worldwide plagues has already manifested itself. AIDS-related infections have spread to every continent and continue unchecked. Virulent strains of influenza sweep around the world within days. Drug-resistant diseases, thought to be eradicated, have resurfaced to threaten the world’s populations again. Super bugs, resistant to chemical sprays, also threaten world agriculture.
The pale horse of Revelation is a precursor of the horrifying specter of global diseases and pestilence spinning out of control that will destroy 25 percent of all human life.
It becomes clear, concerning the apocalyptic vision that John saw, that the horsemen of Revelation depict the “beginning of sorrows” that will expand into the great tribulation prior to Christ’s return.
