Behold a Pale Horse

Product Information

Once the show started, Cooper came across calm and authoritative. He was a natural behind the microphone, said his biographer Jacobson, who listened to hours of archived shows. “Bill Cooper found his medium in radio,” Jacobson said. Supposedly, a CNN reporter found Osama bin Laden, took a television camera crew with him, and interviewed him and his top leadership, lieutenants, and his colonels, and generals… in their hideout! Listen to everyone, read everything, believe nothing until you, yourself, can prove it with your own research,” Cooper told the audience. “Only free‐thinking, intelligent people who are prepared to root through all the crap and get at the truth should be listening to this show. Everyone else should just turn off their radio. We don’t even want you to listen. By the late 1980s, Cooper had moved to Camp Verde, Arizona, and was traveling the country giving lectures. Wherever he appeared, he set up a merchandise table to sell his writings and recordings of his lectures. Cooper, Milton William (1991). Behold a Pale Horse. Light Technology Publications.

The music was fairly popular in Eagar, a town with traffic lights at only one intersection and only a handful of broadcast options. The shortwave show, not so much, said Nolan Udall, who met Cooper when he was hired as a handyman to patch his roof and fix his water heater. Udall later became a devotee. a b Jacobson, Mark (August 22, 2018). "The Conspiracist Manual That Influenced a Generation of Rappers". vulture.com. Vox Media . Retrieved December 11, 2021. Glenn Jacobs, the former editor and publisher of The Round Valley Paper, at his property in Eagar on Aug. 19, 2020. Responding to criticism that Behold a Pale Horse bore similarities to the previous year's Lawrence of Arabia, which featured two of the same lead actors, director Fred Zinnemann said: "I don't feel any obligation to be successful, success can be dangerous—you feel you know it all. I've learned a great deal from my failures." [15] Though, Cooper told readers to mentally edit out the anti-Semitism, saying it was written that way to “deceive people.” He suggested the reader replace “Jews” with “Illuminati” and “goyim” — the term for non-Jews — with “cattle.”The book was also sold from tables set up on sidewalks in Harlem, Jacobson said. And rap artists mentioned Cooper and the book in songs, Jacobson said, keeping curiosity alive. a b Richard Allen Landes (2011). Heaven on Earth: The Varieties of the Millennial Experience.

Some Christians interpret the Horsemen as a prophecy of a future Tribulation, [42] during which many on Earth will die as a result of multiple catastrophes. The Four Horsemen are the first in a series of "Seal" judgements. This is when God will judge the Earth, and is giving humans a chance to repent before they die. A new beautiful Earth is created for all the people who are faithful to Him and accept him as their Savior. [ citation needed] Cooper wrote that he knew the government had dossiers on “patriots” who would likely resist the formation of a totalitarian police state under global command. Cooper said the plan would be to round up all patriots when it would cause as little stir as possible. One of those likely times, he wrote, is Thanksgiving, when people would be home, full of food and drink, and sleepy.The narrative of ‘Behold a Pale Horse’ has infected America’s right wing in totality,” he said. “But where its head has bobbed out of the surface is in the QAnon movement.” The transition came as UFO culture faded in popularity, said Hayakawa, who continued as a UFO researcher. Before the Reformation and the woodcut by Albrecht Dürer, the usual and more influential commentaries of the Book of Revelation thought there was only one horseman riding successively these four horses, who was the Christ himself. So did some medieval illuminations, and after that some modern commentators: Oecumenius, a Greek exegete writing in the sixth-century, Berengaudus a French Benedictine monk of Ferrières Abbey at the same period, Luis del Alcázar a Spanish Jesuit in 1612, Benito Arias Montano, a Spanish Orientalist, in 1622, Jacques de Bordes, a French capuchin in 1639, Emanuel Swedenborg a Swedish theologian in 1766. [72] Prophetic interpretation [ edit ] Though the official story had Cooper killed as deputies tried to arrest him on a local criminal charge, devotees would make him a martyr. Global forces, it was thought, needed him silenced. a b "Chapter 54: Revelation 4–11". www.churchofjesuschrist.org. Archived from the original on 2023-01-13 . Retrieved 2019-07-16.

In some commentaries, the white Horseman symbolizes war, which may be decently exercised on moral grounds, hence the white color. The red Horseman (see below) specifically symbolizes civil war.
