Prickly City by Scott Stantis for July 29, 2023

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the Bible are graphic symbols for the destruction that will come to the earth during the end times. Some had said that in the end the earth shall burn, it looks like Arizona is.

The other horsemen will create the conditions for war to ride forth and will then feast on his leavings.

Forget the Four Horsemen, what’s really going to do us in is “Stupidity”!!

3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword

Revelation 6:3-4 I would suggest the entire chapter along with Matthew 24.

None shall pass.

The Horseman of War must be disappointed that Nature didn’t make more of a fight of it.

Death has to be right behind, right?:

War is quick, but climate change and ever increasing wealth inequality will accomplish much more.

War never rides alone. Death, famine and disease are never far behind.

I’m pretty sure the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse would have been able to keep up or even be in the lead.

There was something about the sight of a beautiful redhead in leather sitting on a powerful motorbike with a sword on her back, that has a powerful effect on a certain type of man.

Neil Gaiman / Terry Pratchett

I was about to ask which of the four horsemen this one is.
