Question: What was following close behind the rider ‘death’ in Revelation?
Answer: Hades. (Revelation 6:8)
Comments: Revelation 6:8 is used at the outset of the 1993 film Tombstone. It is quoted in Spanish by a priest (Pedro Armendáriz Jr.) whose village has been pillaged and translated for the marauders by Johnny Ringo (Michael Biehn): "It's quoted in the bible, Revelations: 'Behold the pale horse. The man who sat on him was death, and Hell followed with him.'"
I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.(Revelation 6:8, NASB)
The verse ushers in the film's protagonist, Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell).
