Everything in the world is in agitation. The signs of the times are ominous. Coming events cast their shadows before. The Spirit of God is withdrawing from the earth, and calamity follows calamity by sea and by land. There are tempests, earthquakes, fires, floods, murders of every grade. Who can read the future? Where is security? There is assurance in nothing that is human or earthly. Rapidly men are ranging themselves under the banner they have chosen. Restlessly they are waiting and watching the movements of their leaders.
An intensity such as never before was seen is taking possession of the world. In amusements, in money-making, in the contest for power, in the very struggle for existence, there is a terrible force that engrosses body and mind and soul. In the midst of this maddening rush, God is speaking. He bids us come apart and commune with Him. “Be still, and know that I am God.”
“Come unto Me,” Christ says, “and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest.” ST July 6, 1904, par. 1 – ST July 6, 1904, par. 3

The Paris Olympics began in earnest on Friday, 26 July with a grand opening ceremony at the river Seine in Paris. The ceremony included artists and singers from across the globe and the programme was hosted by Kelly Clarkson. One of the acts of the ceremony witnessed a rider on a pale horse parading along the river Seine which captured the eyes of many at the event and beyond. In a post on X, a user posted the picture of the rider on the pale horse which soon was associated with Death itself at the Olympics.A performer on a mechanical horse carries the Olympic flag down the river Seine in Paris, France, during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics, Friday, July 26, 2024.

Rider on the pale horse at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony
As part of the Olympic opening ceremony, one of the acts included a Gendarmerie officer riding on a metal horse on the parade route along the Seine River. The horsewoman was wearing a cape printed with the Flag of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
A user shared a short clip of the rider on the horse on microblogging platform X and wrote, “If you have any doubt what is going on at the Olympics opening ceremony. A single rider on a pale horse is straight out of the book of Revelation,” and then quoted from the book, “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and the name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”

Why is ‘Pale Horse’ associated with Death?
According to literature or the Bible, the term pale horse implies death. This reference is derived from the Bible verse,
“And I saw, and behold, a pale horse,
null
Its rider’s name was Dęath, and Hãdes followed him
They were given power over a fourth of the earth
To kìłł with sword and with famine”
With pęstilence and by wild beasts of the earth.”
The above verse translates to a pale horse approaching, matching the colour of its rider, who is identified as Death. They are closely followed by Hades who is the God of the Underworld and ruled over the dead according to ancient Greek religion. They were given power over a quarter of the earth to kill people with swords, hunger, disease, and wild animals.
The pale horse with rider symbolises the culmination of the human destructive cycle which was initiated by the previous horses– The White horse identified with conquest and deceit, The Red Horse which represents the devastations of the war and The Black Horse which represents economic disparity and manipulation.
The pale horse is said to be the ultimate consequence of a society that has fully immersed itself into imperialism, militarism, economic exploitation, widespread death and decay as explained by the Watermark Church.
