ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Revelation 6

Revelation 6 is a part of the Bible that talks about things that happen in the future. It's like a big storybook where God tells us what will happen in the world.

The story starts with a man named John seeing a bunch of horses and riders coming out of the sky. Each horse and rider is a different color - white, red, black, and pale green.

When the first horse comes out, the rider is holding a bow and has a crown on his head. This means he has power and is important. The white horse represents a time of peace in the world.

The second horse is red, and the rider is holding a sword. This horse means there will be war and fighting in the world.

The third horse is black, and the rider has scales in his hand. This means that there will be problems with food and money. Things will be really expensive and hard to get.

The fourth horse is pale green, and the rider is named Death. This horse means that lots of people will die because of wars and sicknesses.

After all of these horses come out, there is a big earthquake and the sky turns red. People start hiding in caves and mountains because they are scared. They even start asking the mountains to fall on them and crush them because they are so afraid.

Finally, there are some angels who are told to wait a little longer before they do anything else. This means that things will get worse before they get better. But the good news is that God is in control and will take care of us in the end.
