And I looked, and behold a pale horse and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Explain

The above excerpt is taken from the Book of Revelation chapter 6: 8 from the Bible. It shows the revelations of God to John about the future of man and the world.

Explanation:

The last book of the Bible, Revelation deals with the holy revelation of the future of the world and humans or in other terms known as the tribulation / Rupture. The prophet John is taken in spirit and shown by God what the world will come to when the world ends.

The lines - "And I looked, and behold a pale horse and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth"

are from the 8th verse of Chapter 6. The 6th Chapter shows an angel showing the 4 horses that will be sent to earth to do various works. The first horse was white, second fiery red, third was black and the last was pale, representing Death. This fourth horse is what's described in the 8th verse. This rider will go to the earth and kill one half of the world's population, following him is Hades / Hell, ready to take the souls of the dead sinners. They are free to kill anyone with their sword, or starve them or with "death and with the beasts of the earth."

This section of the Bible shows the calamities that will befall mankind on the day of tribulation.
