The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

You might have watched the episodes of Supernatural where the "horsemen" make an appearance. I got interested in the origins of these horsemen and did some research. I found that they are not all named in the bible. In the bible, only one rider is actually named. The horsemen are the first 4 of 7 seals to starting the end of times. 

The four horsemen are as follows:

The first horseman rides a white horse and carries a bow and crown. In the bible, it says that the rider "...went forth conquering; and to conquer". 

The second horseman rides a red horse and carries a "great sword". The riders' power was to "Take peace from the Earth".

The third horseman rides a black horse and carries a pair of balances. He is essentially famine.

The fourth horsemen ride a pale horse and the riders name is Death. The bible says that Hell followed with him.

Together their power, as stated in the bible, is "...to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."
