This is not random chaos — this is divine consequence. Seal by seal. Horse by horse. In order. In consequence. What the white horse promised, the red horse removes. What the red horse destroys, the black horse starves. What the black horse starves, the pale horse buries. And following behind the pale horse — Hades. A world that rejected the fullness of God will be famished without God. But there is hope. Because the same Lamb opening these seals holds the keys to Death and Hades. And what belongs to Him — no horse can take.
