“And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.”
When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature call out, 'Come!' I looked, and there was a black horse! Its rider held a pair of scales in his hand — the black horse (melanos) represents famine and privation; the scales (zugos) indicate rationing and scarcity. The color black evokes mourning and death.
