Another horse - red - The emblem of war; perhaps also of severe persecution, and the martyrdom of the saints.

Take peace from the earth - To deprive Judea of all tranquillity.

They should kill one another - This was literally the case with the Jews, while besieged by the Romans.

A great sword - Great influence and success, producing terrible carnage.
