The Four Horsemen by Sigit Pamungkas [PHOTO SOURCE: https://dribbble.com/shots/11058578-FOUR-HORSEMEN] https://images.app.goo.gl/5KUjBwnmDaDEYD9u6 - Photo links
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are figures in the Christian scriptures, first appearing in the Book of Revelation, a piece of apocalypse literature written by John of Patmos. Revelation 6 tells of a book or scroll in God's right hand that is sealed with seven seals. The Lamb of God/Lion of Judah opens the first four of the seven seals, which summons four beings that ride out on white, red, black, and pale horses. In John's revelation the first horseman rides a white horse, carries a bow, and is given a crown as a figure of conquest, perhaps invoking pestilence, Christ, or the Antichrist. The second carries a sword and rides a red horse as the creator of (civil) war, conflict, and strife. The third, a food merchant, rides a black horse symbolizing famine and carries the scales. The fourth and final horse is pale, upon it rides Death, accompanied by Hades. "They were given authority over a quarter of the earth, to kill with sword, famine and plague, and by means of the beasts of the earth." Christianity sometimes interprets the Four Horsemen as a vision of harbingers of the Last Judgment, setting a divine end-time upon the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse https://clearlyreformed.org/sermon/the-four-horsemen-of-the-apocalypse/ https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/prayers-of-the-apocalypse |
"Outlined against a blue, gray October sky the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as famine, pestilence, destruction and death. These are only aliases. Their real names are: Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds this afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down upon the bewildering panorama spread out upon the green plain below."
IT WAS A century ago today, in the early evening of Oct. 18, that Grantland Rice, the greatest sportswriter of his time or perhaps any time, rat-a-tat-tatted those words out from his typewriter high above the Polo Grounds. Barely one week earlier, the old ballpark had hosted the World Series between the New York Giants and the visiting Washington Senators. That's why the red, white and blue bunting was still hanging from the rafters, flapping in the autumn breeze as the 44-year-old Rice pulled the final pages from the scroll of his instrument, having just authored what is still considered to be the greatest opening paragraph ever penned by an American sportswriter. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/41832586/how-notre-dame-four-horsemen-became-college-football-legends
In memory of this event that happened 100 years ago on October 1924, I will post two sermons – one by Joel Beeke and the other by Kevin DeYoung. Although the two ministers disagree on Revelation 6:2 on who the rider of the white horse symbolizes, I understand that the Book of Revelation is a very debatable subject like infant baptism, so both of them are most probably right .
I will post the bible verses of the Four horsemen of the apocalypse from Revelation 6:

Revelation 6
English Standard Version
The Seven Seals
6 Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!”
2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.
3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”
4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand.
6 And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, “A quart[a] of wheat for a denarius,[b] and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!”
7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!”
8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne.
10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
11 Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers[c] should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.
12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale.
14 The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
15 Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave[d] and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, 16 calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”

Consistent Calvinism Podcast
iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/consistent-calvinism-podcast/id1546024988
The Consistent Calvinism Podcast seeks to defend the theological position known as Calvinism or Reformed Theology with an approach grounded firmly in both scripture and logic. Calvinism vs Arminianism is becoming one of the most heated debate arenas in modern theology, with topics such as free will, divine determinism, predestination, TULIP, and understanding God’s role in salvation and topics of soteriology. This podcast seeks to not only provide a solid and consistent Calvinistic position but also to launch an all-out assault on all non-Calvinistic positions to demonstrate their inability to be biblically and logically consistent.

Geri Keller in an impassioned message stated, “We can no longer hide secretly that we feel you are right about baptism. I do not want infant baptism to be just a throw-away experience of infant blessing. It is not something cheap, an instrument just to control people. Infant baptism before the eyes of God has its meaning. How can I refuse to take the child of the confused parent and pray blessing down on that infant child? There are baptisms which are a betrayal of all that Jesus stood for. No minister or priest has the right to perform such baptisms; the symbols and signs of baptism belong to Christ and not to the church. If people have a heart for radical repentance then we must rebaptize those people. We self-righteous ones need to be rebaptized as much as others. Jesus did not celebrate when man saw men as trees. He touched him again. It is good to see but I want you to see more clearly.”

The Inheritance – A Journey Of Reconciliation With The Anababtists (ENGLISH)

A JOURNEY TO REDEEM A NATION'S DESTINY AND TO RESTORE A PEOPLE'S RIGHTFUL INHERITANCE.
In the early years of the Protestant Reformation, a new movement arose in Switzerland of radical believers who yearned to follow Christ in a more personal way and see their convictions integrated into the life of the Church. Labeled «Anabaptists» for their practice of adult baptism, they were driven from their homes, to the forest and caves, imprisoned, tortured, and put to death. Many were also banished and deported to other countries. Today we know them as the Mennonites, Hutterites and the Amish.
In May 2003, representatives of the Swiss state Church and hundreds of Swiss believers welcomed Amish and Mennonite delegations from the United States to the national «Heal our Land» conference in Winterthur, Switzerland as one step in a continuing journey of healing and reconciliation.
