    One of the notable symbols of Pentecost is that of "fire." We remember that there was fire at the first Pentecost - the giving of the law to Moses 50 days after the crossing of the Red Sea as the Israelites departed Egypt. Here’s the description given to

     | 4,557 views

    Let me say once again that these 4 horses and riders that we read about here are not real horses or real riders; these horses symbolize conditions and not individuals, although the rider on the white horse is a reference to the Antichrist.

    Christ-like fellowship is far more than a social get-together or a shared meal. It symbolizes the cultural security, personal and Divine protection, Christian tradition, as well as an experiential reflection/ memory of Jesus' Last Supper.
