Well, the new "4 horeseman" item on gaia has a lot of referance to the 6 horsemen of the book of revelation. What do you think? I mean, there is the Black horse of Famine, which is in revelation. etc. what are your thoughts?

Thats just what I was thinking. The red horse and rider, black horse, green horse of death. I think that they go together. I only remeber four horsemen in revalations, though I'll go check. Correct me if I am wrong, for I don't know this off the top of my head.

Okay, I consulted my New Life Bible on Revelation 6: 1-8. It talks of six seals that the lamb broke.

The first seal, "As I watched, the Lamb broke the first of the seven seals on the scroll. Then one of the four living beings called out with a voice that sounded like thunder, 'Come!' I looked up and saw a white horse. Its rider carried a bow, and a crown was placed on his head. He rode out to win many battles and gain victory."

The second seal, "When the Lamb broke the second seal, I heard the second living being say, 'Come!' Another horse appeared, a red one. Its rider was given a mighty sword and the authority to remove peace from the earth. And there was war and slaughter everywhere."

The third seal, "When the Lamb broke the third seal, I heard the third living being say, 'Come!' And I looked up and saw a black horse, and its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. And a voice from among the four living beings said, 'A loaf of wheat bread or three loves of barley for a day's pay. And don't waste the olive oil and wine.'"

The fourth seal, "And when the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living being say, 'Come!' And I looked up and saw a horse whose color was pale green like a corpse. And Death was the name of its rider, who was followed around by the Grave. They were given authority over one-fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword and famine and disease and wild animals."

The other three seals did not contain any horsemen. Now, some similarities that Gaia put, "Ancient revelations tell of Four Horsemen who would bring about the end times. Though fully summoning these figures to Gaia would be a really, really bad idea, those with the right apocalyptic can wield thier weapons and call forth the ghastly specters of their mounts. Choose from the scythe from the pale horse of death, the flaming sword of the red horse of war, the bow of the white horse of conquest or the scales of the dark horse of pestilence.

Any connections?

Yep, your correct. It's the 1st of the judgements to pass, the Seal Judgments. Out of 6, they are the first four.

The first is the white horse, the conqueror *sp?* and that is supposed to be the antichrist.

Then the red horse of war, which is supposed to be like, WW3 or some big war.

Then the black horse of famine, which is like... well, famine and what not.

Then the pale horse of death, which, kinda' explains itself XD So yeah~

I apoligize, I didn't see this post before I put mine up. I agree. And this could be an interesting time for gaians. I refuse to buy any of them because, well, a few of them have to do with the devil and the anti-christ... XD

I am amazed. I had no idea that Gaia would have items like this! Do you think more people will read the Bible as a result??? That'd be good! The only thing that's not good is what mazuac said ("...a few of them have to do with the devil and anti-christ). Very peculiar, we'll have to wait and see what kind of reaction this gets. 3nodding surprised

Gaia's just trying to find something that people might be intrested in So it's okay if a couple of the MC's are duds or if people don't like them. It's basic economics.

And if you look at it. Gaia or rather Gaea (both are used) is actually is the old Gaellic word for "Earth". So really the new MC's in a sense are ironic...think about it.

That's what I was hopeing! I kinda posted a thing about this in the chatterbox, I wonder if it will spark people's interest in the bible! Wouldn't it be a blessing if God used this to help bring others to Christ? I think I should pray!

I honestly don't think that's a possiblity. We're talking about a couple of pixels that stem from what Bible said about the end of the world. I don't think majority people are going to care enough to read the bible when they read your thread in the chatterbox. Then again that's the chatterbox I would've at least used the GD. Mainly because there are a lot of them who would view the thread and have something intelligent to say...and it could get more people to do what you want.

But you do have a good hypothesis and hopefully it'll work.

Most people probably won't know the connection between the two. And if they do, I don't see it as a potential to bring people to Chirst. Though it is a possibility.

Why so pessimistic?! With that attitude, the chances of it happening decrease! Don't you know that with God, all things are possible!
