https://youtube/watch?v=uN7KWZwqFw4 Red Horse[edit] The second horseman, War on the Red Horse as depicted in a thirteenth-century Apocalypse manuscript When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come.” And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him. — Revelation 6:3-4˄ NASB The rider of the second horse is often taken to represent War[2] (he is often pictured holding a sword upwards as though ready for battle [15]) or mass slaughter.[1][4][16] His horses color is red (πυρρός, from πῦρ, fire), and in some translations the color is specifically a fiery red. The color red, as well as the riders possession of a great sword, suggests blood that is to be spilled.[3] The sword held upward by the second horseman may represent war or a declaration of war, as seen in heraldry. In military symbolism swords held upward, especially crossed swords held upward, signify war and entering into battle.[17] (See for example the historical and modern images, as well as the coat of arms, of Jeanne of Arc.) The second horseman may represent civil war
