Revelation 6:6

Revelation 6:5 THE THIRD SEAL. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him. Again there appear a horse and a rider. Again the color of the horse is changed, as well as the instrument held in the hand of the horseman. If the white and red colors, the bow and the great sword, had a significance, this must be true also of the black color and the balances. It has been found that the horse, whatever his color, is the symbol of war. The black horse makes it plain that the land is torn by calamitous war, and is filled with sorrow, mourning and despair. Black is the color of mourning. The prophet (Jeremiah 14:2) says: "Because of the drought Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are in deep mourning ('lit. black') for the land". Had a pair of balances. The balances used for weighing food are a symbol of scarcity and famine.
