A Cottage Industry
sometimes referred to as a conspiracy theory. Speculation can be a good thing especially when it includes a reasonable explanation to something that doesn’t make sense. Making sense of what we experience is an important part of learning.

was given to the rider of the pale horse. Death is the rider. We are all going to die. It is just a matter of time which may now be near two thousand years later. Is the cure worse than the disease? Be not afraid. Be reasonable. Be kind.

A Prophecy
a prediction of what is to come. A pale horse and death its rider can’t be identified without first identifying the riders of the white, red, and black horses. Like numbers all 59 English versions of the bible agree on colors. They must be significant and the color of the seas should be considered.
