Behold a Pale GREEN Horse

The fourth horseman is described as riding a pale horse, often described as a pale "white" horse which is incorrect. His named is specifically referred to as "Death." The text reads: "I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine, and plague, and by the wild beast of the earth (Rev. 6:7-8).

The word used to describe the color of the pale horse is the Greek word chloros, or green.
