This is a primary source text presenting Revelation 6:1–17 in three parallel columns: the Greek New Testament (GNT), the King James Version (KJV) with Strong's concordance numbers, and the Latin Vulgate. The passage describes the opening of the first six of the seven seals by the Lamb, unleashing the Four Horsemen (conquest on a white horse, war on a red horse, famine on a black horse, and Death on a pale horse), followed by the souls of martyrs crying out for divine justice, and culminating in cataclysmic cosmic signs—earthquake, darkened sun, blood moon, falling stars, and a rolled-up sky—that send all humanity fleeing in terror. The text belongs to the apocalyptic prophetic tradition of early Christian scripture, drawing heavily on Hebrew prophetic imagery (Isaiah, Ezekiel, Joel). The KJV column's Strong's numbers make this a reference or study text rather than a devotional one, aimed at readers doing word-level lexical comparison across the three major textual traditions of the Bible.
