Horsemen of the Apocalypse (theology)

The Horsemen Of The Apocalypse are arguably one of the most famous Biblical villains outwith Satan himself, though they are not necessarily entirely malice - acting as divine harbingers of the End Times these four beings embody four apocalyptic forces that are said to be granted authority over the world until the Day Of Judgement when God himself shall manifest and create a new world free from all sin.

The Horsemen Of The Apocalypse, alongside the Antichrist and the Beast, were popular figures in doomsday writings and continue to fascinate many - though they are seen more as symbolic figures in modern belief than literal beings.
