As of this week there are currently 114 uprisings, insurgencies, battles, wars raging across our globe. While we may not hear about all of them, they all have similar traits. It is the relentless nature of war that helps us realise that the figures of Revelation are not mapping out a timeline for the end of history, rather they diagnose the cause of our distress. No 4 figures have caused greater distress in interpretation than the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but it is all just horseplay compared to Jesus, the Lionhearted Lamb!
