The 4 Horsemen kill ¼ of the world: 515 million to 2 billion deaths
Covering 25–30 Apr 2026 · The 4 Horsemen kill ¼ of the world: 515 million to 2 billion deaths
W.A.H. — World According to Hiro
The White, Red and Black Horsemen continue to show evidence of riding. As we see the Tribulation unfold, what should we expect?
Rev 6:8 indicates the 4 Horsemen/Seals kill ¼ of the world. With today’s global population being ~8.29 Billion, that would be 2 billion dead before the 5th Seal is broken, (expected Passover 2028 when the Antichrist reveals himself). I assume that’s why a shocked and desperate world eagerly accepts the Antichrist to solve its problems. Note: Muslims currently make up ¼ of the world population, ~2 Billion, ¼ of which would be 515 Million.
Daniel 2:35-39 defines the whole world (Ar’a) as successive kingdoms ruling the region of Babylon, each stronger than the one before. Dan 7:7-23 describes the 4th kingdom that ruled Babylon after Medio/Persia and Greece, the Islamic Caliphate (not Rome which never ruled Babylon). It was different from empires before, perhaps by being both a political and religious system that crushed all others. The Umayyad Caliphate (720-750 AD) had the largest political territory, stretching from Spain, across North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and the Indus Valley. The combined population of those areas today is ~2.6 Billion, ¼ of which would be ~665 Million.
Umayyad Empire
However, the Bible references numerous other nations during the last days. If we expand the scope to cover countries under Islamic influence, it includes those nations and brings the population of “the world” to ~3.5 Billion for 875 Million expected casualties.
We are 6 months into the Red Horseman’s ride and we see so many conflicts around the world that it can be called a world war, adding to record numbers of Christians being martyred and persecuted globally. The destruction of global oil and fertilizer infrastructure has guaranteed systemic shortages and inflation setting up conditions for famine and disease in a year. This means we should see between 515 Million to 2 Billion deaths in the next 2 years from war, famine and disease. Historically, famine and disease have killed the most people, hundreds of millions at a time. It will be so devastating and shocking that people agree to follow the Antichrist. May God have mercy on the faithful.
