With the opening of the 4th seal, there becomes a merger between the spiritual and physical realms. The 4th horse and rider address God’s creative works from one end of the earth to the other. The pale green or ashen horse is released, and its angelic rider is identified as “Death” and he has an angelic companion that travels with him identified as “Hades”. Hades follows Death in purpose, they accompany one another and are one the same journey, having been granted authority to kill a fourth of the earth. Killing is their fundamental purpose for existence.
Their power to give is over those whose abode is made in the earthly realms, specifically the Called of God, those in His household who have not become Chosen. This is a spiritual identification based on those whose identity is wrapped up in this world.
They kill with sword, famine, death, and wild beasts of the earth. The sword exposes all the wrong belief and unbelief in those who should abide in life but have chosen to abide in spiritual Death. The famine will prevent people from receiving the truth, they will not be able to hear the word of God. They will be killed with the Second Death, the Lake of Fire. And their lives will be ravaged by demonic spirits.
According to the Code, the 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse (of the unveiling or the revelation) are not specifically tied to the events of the End Times.
