So everyone knows the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, they're basically a trope in a large amount of fantasy literature at this point, such as novels and video games. Disease, Famine, War, and Death have been menacing media for decades, to the point they've basically outgrown their Biblical origin and become pieces of the western mythos.

Except those aren't the actual Four Horsemen, or more accurately, one of the Four in popular culture doesn't belong and has replaced another. The White Horseman is not disease or pestilence, its Conquest, specifically *Christian* Conquest (Revelation 6:2). Arguably the White Rider is Christ Himself according to some of the interpretations (as a similar White Rider appears at the end of Revelations that is explicitly Christ in Revelations 11:9-16).

So how (and why) did such an important part of Biblical narrative get corrupted when it was transferred to modern pop-culture? Well, according to Wikipedia, of all places, this re-interpretation (or more accurately, corruption) first occurred in the 1906 in the Jewish Encyclopedia. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse). So the concept of a conquering, fighting Christianity was replaced by disease in the minds of the public through jews simply swamping pop-culture with their own baseless interpretation. The last thing (((they))) want is Christians seeing Christ is a Conquering King bringing just War upon His enemies, because the last thing (((they))) want is Christians realizing were to be the soldiers in His army.
