Sorry, its just how I am. Just bringing it from the view of a human, though God works in unexpected ways.

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

some people get curious and look things up. If people know then that's at least a step in the right direction...
...and if even ONE person gets saved because of this... wouldn't it be worth it?

-xXGodslayer_RaiXx- mazuac Orizion 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 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.

Orizion Oh, come on! Didn't you read muzuac's 2nd post?? Valandil517 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! yes I did and still I think there is no relation it seems silly

Don't you know that with God, all things are possible! yes I did and still I think there is no relation it seems silly It appears they are the exact same: The white horse of conquest, its rider with a bow and no arrow; the red horse of war; the black horse of famine; and the pale horse of death. The only difference is the order in which they were mentioned in the Gaia store. Revelation 6:1-8 The Seals "1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, 'Come!' 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. "3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, 'Come!' 4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword. "5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, 'Come!' I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, 'A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!' "7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, 'Come!' 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth."

Valandil517 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, I have already written this, though it is good that other people are looking into this topic and their Bibles.

And what do you mean by "basic elements"? Just curious...
You bring up a good point. Most people talk about the four horses of the apocalypse, when it's actually the riders that are given temporary control. However, there is a completely logical reason for this: the horses are more memorably visible than the riders. Given this fact, I would say most people would claim they are the same thing.

I think I know what lordstar is referring to. He's referring to the basic elements of nature. Fire, Earth, Wind, and Water. Course I could be wrong.
