▶ 계시록Apocalypse

Apocalypse, the name comes from the Greek 'apocalypses', meaning unveiling, revelation, particularly of a divine nature. The faith of the early Christians, living under persecution, was sustained by the expectation of Christ's immenent second coming. This found literary expression in the Revelation of John, written at the end of the first century A.D., an allegory foretelling of  the end of the world and the coming of the Last Judgment, the destruction of the wicked, the overthrow of Satan and the establishment of Christ's kingdom on earth. he sequence of fantastic images - the author's visions - forms a cycle of themes that are found in fine art. 

In the book John witnessed that he saw the Lord our God on the throne, in His right hand He had "a scroll with writing on both sides, and sealed with seven seals." (Revelation 5:1). Then the Lamb of all living creatures started to break the seals: 

(계05:1 내가 보매 보좌에 앉으신 이의 오른손에 책이 있으니 안팎으로 썼고 일곱 인으로 봉하였더라

the first seal was broken, and there was "a white horse, and its rider held a bow. He was given a crown, and he rode forth, conquering and to conquer."(Rev. 6:2). It was 'Conquerer' ; 

(계06:2 내가 이에 보니 흰 말이 있는데 그 탄 자가 활을 가졌고 면류관을 받고 나가서 이기고 또 이기려고 하더라

the second seal was broken, "out came another horse, which was red. Its rider was given power to take away peace from the earth that men might slaughter one another; and he was given a great sword." (Rev.6:4). It was 'War'; 

(계06:4 이에 붉은 다른 말이 나오더라 그 탄 자가 허락을 받아 땅에서 화평을 제하여 버리며 서로 죽이게 하고 또 큰 칼을 받았 더라 

the third seal was broken, and there came the black horse, "and its rider was holding in his hand a pair of scales", he was ordered to take away crops" (Rev.6:5). It was 'Famine'; 

(계06:5 세째 인을 떼실 때에 내가 들으니 세째 생물이 말하되 오라 하기로 내가 보니 검은 말이 나오는데 그 탄 자가 손에 저울 을 가졌 더라 

the forth seal was broken, and "there was another horse, sickly pale; its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed close behind." (Rev.6:8). 

(계06:8 내가 보매 청황색 말이 나오는데 그 탄 자의 이름은 사망이니 음부가 그 뒤를 따르더라 저희가 땅 사분 일의 권세를 얻 어 검과 흉년과 사망과 땅의 짐승으로써 죽이더라 

These four are called the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and usually interpreted as the agents of divine rage.
