Hey there! First time posting here, been reading for a while!
Anyways, my question today pertains to the 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse. A friend of mine who I have grown up within the church with is interested in getting a tattoo which as you might have guessed, is of the 4 Horseman. I will be the first to admit, that when I heard about his idea, I was a bit hesitant. When I hear mention of the 4 Horseman I think of "War, Pestilence, Death and Famine" and the general connotation that they are associated with evil and the start of the "Apocalypse."
I will admit that I do not know as much about the 4 Horseman as I would like. I know that they are referenced briefly in the book of Revelation (which I read over) but I left with a feeling of not complete understanding.
His claims are that they are the sign of Jesus Christ returning to save all of his followers and lead them to Heaven, then they are the aftermath, the coming judgment for non Christians alike.
I am not sure how to interpret this. On one side, he views it as a sign of the return of Christ himself; however on the other he sees it as judgement against non Christian believers after the rapture has taken place.
I will admit the fact that I am not very familiar with said area/scripture and its meaning or translation. That is why I was hoping to get some help and advice/opinions from others!
So, what do you all think?
Thanks!
