Chapter Sixteen/Four Horsemen at the Gallop! -The Pale Horse and It Rider - Continue-

 The vision enumerates some of the ways: "And authority was given them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with a long sword and with food shortage and with deadly plague and by he wild beast of the earth." (Revelation 6:8b) Not necessarily a literal fourth of earth's population but a large portion of the earth, whether densely or sparsely inhabited, would be affected by this ride. This horseman reaps the victims of the big sword of the second horseman and the famines and the food shortages of the third. He reaps his own harvest too, from deadly plague and also a harvest from the earthquakes, as describe at LUKE 21:10, 11.
