The events of the first four seals, popularly known as the four horsemen of the apocalypse, are closely linked in meaning and time, for the same symbol, horses and horsemen, are used for all four (The First Four Seals: 96-300 AD, pg. 23).
“The first four symbols are connected by using the same symbol. In the total scheme of all the symbols, this style—making the first four in each group of seven to be connected—continues in the trumpets and bowls.”
Fred Miller, Revelation: A Panorama of the Gospel Age, Ch. 3, “The Opening of the Seven Seals.”
