5And 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. 6And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
The red moon is not specifically mentioned in the book of Revelation. However, there is a reference to the moon turning red like blood in Revelation 6:12, where it describes cosmic disturbances during the opening of the sixth seal.
*****You asked for an explanation of the meaning of the images of the horses in the visions. There have been many private interpretations and speculations about what these four horsemen are. This has resulted in much confusion and disagreement. This is most unfortunate because, when you put he pieces of the Bible all together, the answer is abundantly clear.In their most abbreviated form, the "Four Horsemen" are:1. Religious Deception -- the White horse (Rev 6:2) (also referred to as False Christ's, antichrist; conquest).2. War -- the Red horse (Rev 6:4).3. Famine-- the Black horse (Rev 6:5--6) (Sometimes referred to as "the Horseman of Commerce." The example here is of selling quarts of barley for a whole day's wages).4. Death-- the Pale horse (Rev 6:8--9).The Bible does indeed interpret its own symbols but not always in the same chapter or even in the same book. The identity of the four horsemen is found in the "Olivet Prophecy" found in Matthew 24. Jesus informs us of the end time signs to watch for in our watch for His return. The same "mysterious" events outlined in Revelation six are plainly explained chronologically in Matthew 24.In a more expanded form, we see that the four horsemen of the Apocalypse are the first four of the seven symbolic seals on the scroll in Revelation 6, which Jesus strips away to reveal the prophecies they represent.But, unlike the book of Revelation, Matthew 24 is not a "mysterious" parable. It is Jesus' own"private interpretation" of the Revelation parable concerning the last days. Jesus always explained His parables to His disciples in private---to be properly understood only by His true followers. Notice:For example, in explaining the parable of the mustard seed, "...Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and His disciples came unto Him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field." (Matthew 13:36)In the sermon on the Mount of Olives: "...the disciples came unto Him PRIVATELY, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be..." (Matt.24:3).Jesus told them plainly in private what Revelation's parable hides from the minds and hearts of the masses who read it. The two different accounts tell of the same "end time" events (there can be only one end time). And only Jesus is worthy to interpret the parable:"...Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof..." (Revelation 5:9).The first four seals of Revelation 6---the four horsemen of the Apocalypse---according to Matthew 24 are false religion(specifically false Christianity, false ministers, false prophets, etc.), wars, famines, pestilences, diseases, earthquakes---in other words all the things that have always been with man since the beginning."Take heed that no man deceive you. For many [the Greek implies most] shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ [not necessarily saying that they who are saying these words are the Christ---although there have been a few---but by misapplying that message---that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, to their own traditions, tenants, and beliefs] deceive many [most]. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrow" (Matt.24:4--8).These are the chronological meanings of the four horsemen [seals] of Revelation 6. These are everyday things that we have learned to "live with" down through history. These same things will grow and increase in frequency and intensity, until they finally erupt into the Great Tribulation [seal 5 in Revelation 6]... which Jesus clearly describes for us in private in Matthew 24, verses 9 through 29.The four horsemen are "the beginning of sorrows (or woes, or tribulation). Sooner or later, these "woes" man lives with will nearly take mankind to utter destruction, when: "...except those days should be shortened there should no flesh be saved (alive): but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened [or limited]" (Matt.24:22).The increasing suffering and misery of these global conditions (likened to destructive horsemen) will eventually develop into the Great Tribulation, which would end all life on earth if Jesus doesn't limit it and return as He says He will, to prevent it.I hope this helps.Lloyd W.

I know that the red ribbon is used to ward off evil spirits. as for the red candles I am still unsure. I do know that the red is one of the colors of the kings, or Magi, whom visited Jesus at his time of birth. It is mainly in the color of a robe though...
The red globe symbolizes all the innocent men women and children who have perished in the name of Jesus, turning the world bloody.
The Feather symbolizes flight, weather spritually, emotionally, or creativley. For Native Americans Cheifs would wear feathers to symbolize their ability to connect with spirts. The red feather is a symbol of a phyiscal and spiritual warrior. Red symbolizing the blood of ones spirit, body, and enemies.
war white is plauge black is famine and death is the pale horse that is the four horsemen of the apocalypse
An angel on a red horse can be found in two related prophesies: Zechariah 6:1-8 and Revelation 6:4
Most biblical scholars would associate the 'Red Horse' of Revelation to war:Revelation 6:4New King James Version (NKJV) 4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
The red, blue, and yellow breastplate described in Revelation 9 does not have a universally agreed-upon interpretation. Some scholars suggest the colors symbolize war, royalty, and divinity, while others believe they represent spiritual warfare or demonic forces. Ultimately, the meaning may vary depending on different interpretations of the symbolic imagery in the Book of Revelation.
The red moon is not specifically mentioned in the book of Revelation. However, there is a reference to the moon turning red like blood in Revelation 6:12, where it describes cosmic disturbances during the opening of the sixth seal.
The Four Horsemen, as described in the Book of Revelation in the Bible, are figures that symbolize the apocalypse. They are commonly known as Conquest (or Pestilence), War, Famine, and Death. Each horseman rides a different colored horse—white, red, black, and pale, respectively—representing different aspects of the end times and human suffering. Together, they embody the calamities that will befall humanity.
The Book of Revelation refers to the seven seals of the apocalypse. Opening the seven seals would release a series of atrocities and unexplained events on Earth. The seven seals are the White Horse of Conquest, the Red Horse of War, the Black Horse of Financial Collapse, the Pale Horse of Death, the martyred souls for God, the great earthquake, and the seven angels of God.
These verses speak to the 2nd Seal being opened and a Red Horse and rider comes upon the Earth. This horse represents 'War' and red is the color of blood. A parallel account of each seal is found in Matthew 24 with this particular Red Horse spoken to in Matthew 24:6-7.
In the Bible, the blood red moon is often seen as a sign of impending judgment or significant events. It is mentioned in the Book of Joel and the Book of Revelation as a symbol of the end times and God's power.
Red roses symbolize love, while white roses symbolize purity.
Red and green can symbolize Christmas.
In the Bible, a red moon is often seen as a sign of impending judgment or significant events. It is mentioned in verses such as Joel 2:31 and Revelation 6:12. The red moon is believed to symbolize the end times and the coming of God's wrath or a major change in the world.
