End of Days by Sylvia Browne

According to the sixth chapter of Revelation, at the end of days, God will exact a series of judgments on humankind, each series more devastating than the one before it. The first series is the “seven seals,” and the first four of those seven seals are the horsemen.

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals … And I saw, and behold, a white horse: and its rider had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer …

When he opened the second seal … out came another horse, bright red; its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that men should slay one another; and he was given a great sword …

When he opened the third seal … I saw, and behold, a black horse, and its rider had a balance in his hands; and I heard what seemed to be a voice … saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not harm oil and wine!”

When he opened the fourth seal … I saw, and behold, a pale horse, and its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him; and they were given power 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 6:1-8)

The most common translation: the first of the four horsemen, the white horse, brings the Antichrist. The second incites devastating warfare. The third inflicts famine. And the fourth kills with more warfare and famine, plagues, and vicious animal attacks. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, all part of the prelude to the end of days, more dramatic imagery but clearly not intended to be read literally.

The fifth of the seven seals, I should add, is the martyred souls of Jesus’s followers; the sixth seal unleashes a massive, devastating earthquake; and the seventh seal contains the seven trumpets, which cause:

fire and hail that destroys plant life
“something like a great mountain, burning with fire” (Revelation 8:8) crashing into the sea, destroying marine life and ships at sail

similar destruction of the earth’s lakes and rivers
the darkening of the sun and the moon
a plague of “demonic locusts”
an equally demonic army
the arrival of seven angels holding the seven bowls containing the wrath of God

Again, this series of punishments from God leading to the end of days is progressive. So the seven bowls of the seven angels are the most dire of all:

Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth, and foul and evil sores came upon the men who bore the mark of the beast [Antichrist] and worshiped its image.

The second angel poured his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a dead man, and every living thing died that was in the sea.

The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of water, and they became blood.

The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch men with fire. Men were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power of these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory.

The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was in darkness …

The sixth angel poured his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up …

The seventh angel poured his bowl into the air, and a great voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” And there were flashes of lightning, loud noises, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as had never been since men were on the earth. (Revelation 16:1-17)
