THE 5TH HORSEMAN


The last few months have been quite difficult so this seems like an appropriate image to post.  The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are associated with frightening prophecies. War, Famine, and Conquest (later Pestilence) represent scenarios capable of causing widespread chaos and destruction. The fourth (Death) represents the apocalypse in general. But there is another horseman – a fifth, whose ride signifies a much different future and brings promise of a far better age to come. He/She is an archetype representing rebirth and renewal and brings Hope.
