“This isn’t a forecast, but what’s already in play. The horsemen of the apocalypse are galloping ahead and we can only look towards God.”— Dmitry “Full Metal” Medvedev to Al’Jazeera today. [not a joke, that’s what he said. He even posted this on his own tg. Wat mean? Dunno] pic.twitter.com/SQFjUjJyqP

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (often referred to as the Four Horsemen) are figures in the Christian religion, first appearing in the Old Testament's prophetic Book of Zechariah and in the Book of Ezekiel, where they are named as punishments from God. They later appear in the New Testament's final book, Revelation, an apocalypse written by John of Patmos.
Revelation 6 tells of a book or scroll in God's right hand that is sealed with seven seals. The Lamb of God/Lion of Judah opens the first four of the seven seals, which summons four beings that ride out on white, red, black, and pale horses. Zechariah describes them as "the ones whom the Lord has sent to patrol the earth," causing it to rest quietly. Ezekiel lists them as "sword, famine, wild beasts, and plague".
In John's revelation, the first horseman rides on a white horse, carries a bow, and is given a crown he rides forward as a figure of Conquest,[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse#cite_note-flegg-1][1][/url][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse#cite_note-2][2][/url] perhaps invoking Pestilence, Christ, or the Antichrist. The second horseman carries a sword and rides a red horse and is the creator of (civil) War.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse#cite_note-Lenski-3][3][/url] The third horseman, a food-merchant riding upon a black horse, symbolizes Famine. He carries The Scales.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse#cite_note-RMounce-4][4][/url] The fourth and final horse is pale, and upon it rides Death.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse#cite_note-5][5][/url] "They were given authority over a quarter of the earth, to kill with sword, famine, and plague, and by means of the beasts of the earth."[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse#cite_note-6][6][/url]
Got to love when a former President of Russia and current DC of the Security Council is quoting the Book of Revelations in light of world events.
Quote:
He served a single term in office and was succeeded by Putin following the 2012 presidential election. Medvedev was then appointed by Putin as prime minister. He resigned along with the rest of the government on 15 January 2020 to allow Putin to make sweeping constitutional changes; he was succeeded by Mikhail Mishustin on 16 January 2020. On the same day, Putin appointed Medvedev to the new office of deputy chairman of the Security Council.
