This means that the way we perceive reality will be put to the test, and that those who love the Truth will submit to its manifestation expressed through the prophets. The prophets are material representations of the Messiah; this final act of Wisdom will serve to seal humanity, which loved darkness, in the darkness it chose to love instead of the Truth. The light will shine, and those who are of the light will be drawn to the light, and those who are of the darkness will flee to the dark corner with which they will marry. The black horseman of the apocalypse, famine, represents the ultimate exercise of Elijah in his manifestation as a prophet.
