The results from this study are that the Christian and Islamic perspectiveon the four horsemen in the poem "The Four Horseman" by Gary R. Ferris refers to the events of apocalypse; the white horse as a sign of the emergence of the Antichrist or Dajjal in the Islamic perspective, the red horse as a symbol of the bloodshed in the war of the end time, the black horse as a sign of great famine and the pale horse (gray) as a symbol of mass death.
