Subject: "Doomsday" is interesting, no worse "skulls" and as it turned out not neglected artists.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Revelation, chapter 6

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as a voice of thunder: Come and see.

I looked, and behold a white horse and its rider had a bow and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying: Come and see.

And there went out another horse that was red and sat on it is given to take peace from the earth and to kill one another, and given him a great sword.

And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying: Come and see. I looked, and behold, a black horse and its rider had a balance in his hand.

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts saying: A measure of wheat for a denarius and three quarts of barley for a denarius; oil and the wine is not damaged.

And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying: Come and see.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse and its rider, whose name was death, and hell followed with him and given him power over a fourth of the earth - to kill with the sword and famine, and with the beasts of the earth.

Support too. Recommend to the interpretation of the Apocalypse Nikolai Morozov. Reprinted 1907. repeated in 1991. izd.AON, Moscow (Cover SV Chekhonin). It Morozov determine the exact date of Revelation (395g.30 September), and explains to the causes of such images is, as well as the names of the author (John Chrysostom). In particular, he pointed out that in the ancient world were often portrayed in the form of horses and the constellations in which they are currently located, in the form of riders. That is what allowed him to pinpoint this event, on Patmos at this time was four strokes of the earthquake, and this impression is alloyed with religious beliefs in such an exclusive form of poetry.
