By the time the fourth horseman completes his ride, a fourth of earth’s inhabitants will experience incredible devastation. The death toll will be unlike any from plague and disease in human history. The origin of this interpretation is unclear. Some translations of the Bible mention " plague" (e.g. the New International Version [26]) or "pestilence" (e.g. the Revised Standard Version [27]) in connection with the riders in the passage following the introduction of the fourth rider; cf.

[28] However, the original Greek does not use the word for "plague" or "pestilence" here, simply "death" (θάνατος). [29] The use of "pestilence" was likely drawn from other parts of the Book of Revelation and included here as another form of death. Also, whether this passage refers to the fourth rider only or the four riders as a whole is a matter of debate. [2]Who Are The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse?

The sword, famine, and pestilence are the traditional list of the three plagues of God's wrath, which we find in Ezechiel 6; and in Ezekiel 14 we read of God's judgments upon Jerusalem in the forms of the sword, famine, the noisome beast, and pestilence, together with the promise that a remnant shall be spared – another important theme in the Apocalypse.
