I read four horses, one rider. The four horsemen of the apocolypse is an assumed misnomer. It's better called four horses of the man of apocolypse.
Jhn 5:43I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
2Th 2:2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
While the horses are described differently, the rider is only described once and named once. Riding the 1st whited horse, he comes to save the day, but only conquers. Riding on the 4th pale horse, his name is death.
1Pe 5:1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a rea, Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
2Co 1:24Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
And since that man of sin changes appearances as necessary, so there can be one horse he rides, that changes colors the way a leapord would change it's spots.
2Th 2:7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
The rider and horse begin with such great promises, only to conclude in death for himself and all his foolishly loving followers. Such a promising beginning with such a pale ending.
It's always the same beginning and ending with all antichrists and false apostles coming as Christ in their own name and power, only to destroy them that believe and obey them as God Himself.
2Th 2:4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
One glory-hound rider changing his horses as needed, or changing the appearances of his same wonderful horse in the name of Christ.
Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
If they weren't so destructive to the sheep, we could write them all off as just useful idiots.
Afterall, how hard is it to know the difference another man with a mouth coming on earth, and the risen Lord of glory coming with resurrected body in the air? Even with all the great speeches, miracles, and lying wonders.
Dan 7:25And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws:
Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies;
