Apocalypse now?

"The first horseman rides a white horse, carries a bow, and is given a crown as a figure of conquest, perhaps invoking pestilence, or the Antichrist. The second carries a sword and rides a red horse as the creator of (civil) war, conflict, and strife. The third, a food merchant, rides a black horse symbolizing famine and carries the scales The fourth and final horse is pale, upon it rides Death, accompanied by Hades."They were given authority over a quarter of the Earth, to kill with sword, famine and plague, and by means of the beasts of the Earth"
The Horsemen of the Apocalypse, in a woodcut by Albrecht Dürer (c. 1497–1498.), ride forth as a group, with an angel heralding them, to bring Death, Famine, War, and Conquest unto man
