  The book of Revelations speaks of the final apocalypse.. Consider (Rev 6:1-8)..

 
 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds[a] of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds[c] of barley for a day’s wages,[d] and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.


   The four horsemen of the apocalypse

  1....  A white horse..given power to conquer..so he goes forth doing just that..

 2.. .. A red horse, given power to take peace from the earth and make people kill each other.

  3....  A black horse to bring famine and starvation..

  4.... And finally a pale horse..(properly translated, a pale green)  It's rider is named death..and it has the power to kill a fourth of mankind.
        ..And Hades follows close behind..for those who reject Jesus..God..

  Are the colors of the Palestinian flag, and many flags of Islam, of any significance..  Coincidence or significance..you decide..

A long, long range warning maybe, but, if one has true Faith, no matter how crappy it gets, in the long run, the good days are ahead.

As has been said , often, the dead ones are the fortunate ones.

That's a great paraphrase of Long John Silver in Disney's "Treasure Island"; where he says: "Them that dies 'll be the lucky ones".

  More likely, those who are suddenly gone, disappeared, are the lucky ones..or even more  likey, the ones who were ready..  (Matt 25:1-10)
