The "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" is a term used to describe four horsemen that appear in the New Testament of the Christian Bible in chapter six of the Book of Revelation, which describes an apocalyptic vision. Although scholars disagree as to what exactly each horseman represents, the four horsemen are often referred to as Conquest, War, Famine, and Death. Summoned and empowered by God as part of the opening of the seven seals, the horsemen contribute to the widespread destruction that takes place in Revelation as part of the end of the world.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not an elite wrestling group nor are they the biblical bringers of the appocolypse. It is a sexual act where you stick four fingers in the anus. The fingers are stuck out as if you were holding up the number four, unlike the arthritic ridden fingers of the wrestling group.

In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Four Horsemen is the nickname for a group of the most wanted bad guys, who were the main targets. Tbe first one iz Imran Zakhaev, the second one is Khaled Al-Asad, the third one is Zakhaev's son, Victor Zakhaev. The fourth horseman still remains unknown. Some believe that he was the executed president (His execution was watched from first person view), Al-Fulani, because he betrayed them. In the briefings for some missions, a picture of three of them is shown with an "X" over their head, so you can figure out which ones you've eliminated. When you see that photo for the first time, Fourth Horseman's head is already X-ed.
Zakhaev, one of the Four Horsemen: Our so-called leaders prostituted us to the West... Destroyed our cultures... Our economies... Our honor. Our blood has been spilled on our soil. My blood... On their hands

By the last breath the fourth winds blow
Better raise your ears
The sound of hooves knock at your door
Lock up your wife and children now
It's time to wield the blade
For now you've got some company
The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On leather steeds they ride
They've come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With The Four Horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die
Oh, yeah yeah!
You have been dying since the day you were born
You know it's all been planned
The quartet of deliverance rides
A sinner once, a sinner twice
No need for confessions now
'Cause now you've got the fight of your life
The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On leather steeds they ride
They've come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With The Four Horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die
Oh, yeah yeah!
Time!
Has taken its toll on you
The lines that crack your face
Famine!
Your body it has torn through
Withered in every place
Pestilence!
For what you had to endure
And what you have put others through
Death!
Deliverance for you for sure
Now there's nothing you can do
So gather 'round young warriors now
And saddle up your steeds
Killing scores with demon swords
Now is the death of doers of wrong
Swing the judgement hammer down
Safely inside armor blood guts and sweat
Better raise your ears
The sound of hooves knock at your door
Lock up your wife and children now
It's time to wield the blade
For now you've got some company
The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On leather steeds they ride
They've come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With The Four Horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die
Oh, yeah yeah!
You have been dying since the day you were born
You know it's all been planned

A sinner once, a sinner twice
