Favorite bible verses? /Book ?

I love revelations aesthetically speaking, from a strictly literary point of view:

>And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
[6] And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

and of course because Aphrodite's Child made an entire album around it:

If I were an atheist I would be repenting right about now. This is the first horseman of the apocalypse, Pestilence

BLING BLING

Can someone explain to me the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse, and more precisely, why is one of them Conquest, with what appears to be positive attributes? (white horse, crown)
Is he Jesus? The Antichrist?

i hate the bible, but im not an atheist.

its just dry ya dig

however when it hits a high note aesthetically im like fuuuggg

in revelations the four horsemen = pure kino
its the wrathful righteousness manifest of the meek and their lord

for instance:
>Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
>Irenaeus, an influential Christian theologian of the 2nd century, was among the first to interpret this Horseman as Christ himself, his white horse representing the successful spread of the gospel.
>The second Horseman may represent civil war as opposed to the war of conquest that the first Horseman is sometimes said to bring.[3][20] Other commentators have suggested that it might also represent the persecution of Christians.

and holy shit get ready

>When He broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not damage the oil and the wine.”

—Revelation 6:5-6
