John's vision mentions wild beasts as a fourth cause of untimely death. Indeed, the four things featured by the opening of the fourth seal-warfare, famine, disease, and wild beasts-were in ancient times viewed as predominant causes of untimely death. So they could foreshadow all causes of death today. It is just as Jehovah warned Israel: "So, too, it will be when there will be my four injurious acts of judgment-sword, and famine are injurious wild beast and pestilence-that I shall actually send upon Jerusalem in order to cut off from it earthling man and domestic animal." -EZEKIEL 14:21.
