	Have any of them considered that the Four Horsemen may represent
a nuclear war?  The massive scale and types of destruction described in
relation to them is entirely consistant with a nuclear war.
	This is the problem with prophecy, it is impossible to interpret
until *after* the fact.  As a Christian I simply admit I do not understand
the Apocalypse well enough to make any hard claims about what is to come.
