The Fourth Seal is opened: When The "Lamb" opened the Fourth Seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say "Come"! I looked and there before me was a pale horse. It's 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. Even if we do not understand earthly events---the message of Revelation is that God is Sovereign from the start to the finish. Then His enemies will be defeated and punished and His saints vindicated and rewarded by a new earth with no more death or mourning, or crying or pain. "Wow"! This is so interesting.....I'm not very familiar with the teachings of The Bible.....but since doing this draw of the 4th Horseman.....I had to find out what I could about it. What I found out has me very inspired to learn more. I'm a Christian, and was raised as a Catholic.....but I always felt that really getting into reading the Bible would be too difficult for me to understand....I have tried several times to read it.....but it was very confusing to understand the meanings of everything. I have two Bibles here in my home.....and I think I am going to try again to read a little bit once in awhile. Anyways.....Reading about the Four Horsemen was really very interesting, and I'm glad I drew this picture. I used a "ref" "pic"....but my picture looks completely different than the "ref" pic. It says that the Fourth Horseman (which is the one that I drew") has a "pale" horse.....it says the color of that horse is a yellowish pale green. Well.....my horse isn't green.....but I think it looks "pale" enough to be the horse of the 4th Horseman. I didn't want to draw a pale green horse.....so I'm leaving him as he is.....he looks pale enough.

Hi "DaVinci".....Thank you very much for your nice comment.....I appreciate it. I did have this "pic" all finished.....and when I went to submit it.....a window popped up...saying "error"...unable to submit...maybe you have already submitted". Soo....I couldn't submit it.....the picture was lost. I had to use this version of the draw that I had submitted earlier as an unfinished draw. I don't understand why that happened.....I never had this problem before. I'm gonna work on this picture, and try to finish it......but it's frustrating, because I had it all finished....now I have to re-do the unfinished parts. :( Anyways....Thanks again Dave for commenting.....I appreciate it.

"Hi "pencil", and "GG", and "BMW"......Thank you all for your nice comments.... I really do appreciate it. I'm glad you all like the "pic". "Pencil".....that's a good idea about highlighting the horse's eye with a grey/blue color......I think I'll try it, and see how it looks. The "red" eye didn't look that good on the horse.....that's why I changed it to black. I'm gonna try the "grey/blue though. Thanks again for all of your comments.....I really appreciate it. ")

"Hi "Bette".....Thank you very much for your nice comment.....I really do appreciate it. I'm glad you like the "pic". It was kinda difficult for me to do......but I'm glad I'm finally finished with it. I never really knew too much about The Four Horseman......so I looked it up.....and it was so interesting to read about them.....I'm gonna have to read more. Thanks again for commenting.....I appreciate it. :)

Hi "MissDj"......Thank you very much for your nice comment....I really do appreciate it. I'm glad you like the "pic". I wish somebody else would draw another one of the 4 Horsemen......I'd like to see all four horsemen drawn. That would be cool. Maybe you would do one "Dj"?? I can't do it......this one was difficult enough to do.....I can't do anymore. Anyways.....Thanks for commenting.....I appreciate it. :)
