The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Bible)

Help page on the disambiguationFor other uses, see The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse .
Print 'of Albrecht Durer represents the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are heavenly and mysterious characters mentioned in the New Testament , in the sixth chapter of theApocalypse . It is a reworking of two visions of a prophet of the Old Testament, Zechariah 1 . Their ride inaugurates the beginning of the end of the world as they appear when the Lamb figure of Jesus resurrected, opens the first four seals.
Although they seem to succeed in time, the last verse seems to suggest that their rides are simultaneous:
"Power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. "
Several interpretations of the symbolic meaning of the riders were issued at different times.

RIDERS AND THEIR MOUNTS [ MODIFY | MODIFY THE CODE ]

Illumination of Beatus Facundus , dated 1047. National Library of Spain .
Here is the text of the Apocalypse (6,1-8)
(1) And my vision continued. When the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals, I heard one of the four living creatures screaming in a voice like thunder, "Come! "(2), and there before me was a white horse and its rider held a bow, he was given a crown and he went forth conquering, and to conquer again.
(3) When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature shout, "Come! "(4) Then another horse came out, flaming red and he that sat on him, he was given to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other that, they gave him a great sword .
(5) When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature cry out, "Come! "And there before me was a black horse and its rider was holding a pair of scales, (6) and I heard like a voice among the four living creatures, saying," A quart of wheat for a penny, three quarts of barley for a penny! As for the oil and the wine, do not spoil! "
(7) When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come (8) I looked, and behold, there appeared a horse of a greenish color.. Its rider was named Death, and Hades followed with him.
They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, by famine, by plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

INTERPRETATIONS [ EDIT | EDIT THE CODE ]

This whole passage has received very different interpretations. Some see specific references to a series of historical events given, usually in the first century 2 , but sometimes at the time saw that which produces this interpretation 3 , others a division of history into four parties or from the beginning of the world 4 , or since the advent of Jesus Christ, others finally a typology of different calamities that can strike humanity without having to specify a period of 5 .

White Horse (Conquest) [ edit | edit the code ]


The white knight on a stained glass window of Saint-Denis.
Opinions on the first rider, riding the white horse, there are many 6 .
Many ancient and modern authors, Catholics, Protestants or unbelievers, saw the Christ ( Irenaeus , Victorin Pettau , Andrew of Caesarea ), or the triumphant gospel preaching ( Bede , Albert the Great , Ribeira, Bossuet , Bernhardt Weiss, Loisy , etc..). Indeed, although the first rider comes ahead of a series of plagues, the symbolic color ( leukos ) is clearly positive and without ambiguity, and indeed it reappears later in theApocalypse (19.11) clearly identified the "Word of God."
Other authors consider the expansion of a land power: either the conquering Roman Empire (including several authors of the Middle Ages, and Protestant), or the Parthian Empire invading the Roman Empire, particularly given that the border the Euphrates between the two empires is mentioned twice in the Apocalypse , and the Parthians were always represented as horse archers.

Red Horse (War) [ edit | edit the code ]

(3) When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say 
--- Come! 
(4) Another horse came out: it was a red light. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth so that men kill and a great sword was given to him. 7
The second rider is war 8 , and the color of his horse, red (πυρρός of πῦρ , fire), the blood spilled on the battlefield. It also carries a sword that represents the confrontation and combat. As stated they are slaughtered each other (Greek allèlous ), it may be referred to here especially civil wars, as opposed to wars of conquest that would be represented by the first rider 9 .

Black Horse (Famine) [ edit | edit the code ]

The third rider, whose horse is black seems to represent famine. It carries a balance which means the evaluation and therefore the price achieved by the most characteristic products of the ancient Mediterranean world: grain, oil and wine. Grains reach an exorbitant price, a penny corresponding to the daily wage of an old worker. As for the oil and the wine, the rider is asked to spare, that is to say, after the Greek word used ( adikein ), not to cause them harm, not s' take them 10 .

Green Horse (Death) [ edit | edit the code ]


Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse by Viktor Vasnetsov(1887).
The fourth horseman (whose horse has a sinister color, difficult to identify precisely, and to be linked with the concept of "pestilence"). The color of its frame evokes fear, disease, decay, and death. It is accompanied or followed rather stay the Dead (Greek Hades , corresponding to Biblical Hebrew Sheol ).

Their collective mission [ modify | modify the code ]

The passage ends with the words: "They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, by famine, by plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth." The vast majority of commentators reported this to all riders, not just the latter. In fact the sword is the second rider, hunger in the third and the fourth plague. This would imply that they perform their duties simultaneously and not sequentially. The addition in this context "beasts (Greek Theria ) of the earth "remains a mystery, even if it takes a commonplace disaster prophecies in the Old Testament .

巴西马里亚纳大坝灾难的法律纠纷在英国打响

Imagem
      一项价值 63 亿美元的诉讼已在英国启动，索赔要求为巴西所谓的马里亚纳大坝灾难的受害者提供赔偿。   2015 年巴西丰道尾矿坝的一部分倒塌时，数百万吨的有毒采矿废料摧毁了附近的社区并破坏了当地环境。 十九人死亡，整个村庄被摧毁，但广泛的影响要大得多。 律师事务所 PGMBM 的执行合伙人汤姆·古德黑德 (Tom Goodhead) 表示：“这是极其毁灭性的。它夺走了 19 条生命，但它完全摧毁了三个村庄，然后沿河 680 多公里已经感受到环境影响。数百万人受此影响，他们的生计终结。”   他补充说：“这是巴西历史上最大的环境灾难。如果你想到像埃克森瓦尔迪兹号或 BP 石油泄漏这样的悲剧，这就是灾难的规模。” 超过 200,000 个受影响的当事人已提出集体索赔，初步法庭听证会将决定是否可以根据英国法律审理更广泛的案件。 必和必拓是大坝运营商的母公司之一。 作为一家英澳公司，索赔人认为他们有权通过英国的法律体系。 但必和必拓否认这一点，并表示这些法律诉讼不属于英国法院，因为它与巴西正在进行的工作和听证会重复。 迄今为止，大坝的两位业主已承诺提供约 34 亿美元用于支持修复和补偿。   村庄正在重建，该地区正在进行大规模的修复和恢复计划。 曼彻斯特的初始诉讼将在最后八天进行，并将确定是否可以在英国举行更广泛的法庭案件。   如果允许，未来的听证会将试图确定谁应对损害和随后的灾难负责，以及是否应该支付赔偿金。 预计将于 2020 年晚些时候做出判决。 字体图片谷歌 字体编辑 https://newseu.cgtn.com/news/2020-07-23/Legal-battle-over-Brazil-s-Mariana-Dam-Disaster-starts-in-UK-SllVKxpnj2/index.html
