16.2 The Red Horseman of Revelation 6
— The Second of the Four Horsemen —
The Strong Nuclear Force
The four horsemen of Revelation 6 appear to be congruent with the four natural forces. The red horseman is highly similar to the Strong Nuclear Force.
| The Horse and the Force | ||
 The Red Horseman of Revelation 6 | ||
| Strong Nuclear Force | ||
| Sequential: Second | ||
| The red horseman is the second of the four horsemen to show up. | ||
| The Strong Nuclear Force is the second force to break free from the symmetry of forces. | ||
| The living creature: Calf | ||
| Bovines were domesticated and used for their strength. Where a horse brings to mind travels long and far, a cow is associated to activities around the house. |  | |
| The Strong Nuclear Force is a local force, confined to the nucleus of the atom. | ||
| The color: Red | ||
| The color: red. The word Zechariah uses to indicate the red horse's color is 'adom, a word derived from a root which is identical to the root from which the words 'adam (man made from earth) and 'adama (ground, land, red arable soil) are derived. | ||
| The Strong Nuclear Force makes nucleons and nuclei, in which most of the universe's mass is contained. It's a long shot to compare a nucleus to the earth's soil, and electrons to the liveliness upon it, but the connection to the soon-to-be-plowing calf is obvious. | ||
| Attribute: A Great Sword | ||
| The sword is a proximity weapon. The only other horseman equipped with a sword is the green horseman. |  | |
| The Strong Nuclear Force is a local force. It is also such a strong force that the power harnessed by it was once used to destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The only other force that works in the nucleus is the Weak Nuclear Force. Compared to the sword of the weak force, the Strong Nuclear Force's is truly great. | ||
| Activity 1: Take peace from the earth | ||
| At the release of the Strong Nuclear Force the mass-dominated era begins. | ||
| Activity 2: Make men slay each other | ||
| Cause men (man in Hebrew is adam; from the same root as the word for the color red) to slay one another. In Greek this verb indicates the act of slaying. In Hebrew the sentiment would be to fall upon each other. | ||
| Quarks, which are receptive to the Strong Nuclear Force, do not occur free in nature but are always bound into nucleons. | ||
