Acts of judgement - Ezekiel 14:21-23

Ezekiel 14:21-23 ESV
“For thus says the Lord God:How much more when I send upon Jerusalem my four disastrous acts of judgment, sword, famine, wild beasts, and pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast! But behold, some survivors will be left in it, sons and daughters who will be brought out; behold, when they come out to you, and you see their ways and their deeds, you will be consoled for the disaster that I have brought upon Jerusalem, for all that I have brought upon it. They will console you, when you see their ways and their deeds, and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, declares the Lord God.”

Revelation 6:8
And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

The four horseman represent the acts of judgement predicted in Ezekiel.
The seals are opened by the victorious lamb, which may be indicative of Christ's reign, for it is by His hand the horsemen are released.

In turn, this may substantiate that the one thousand years, or millennium, in Revelation is figurative and indicates the long, but finite time between His first and second comings.

Satan has been defeated, therefore bound. We are told this begins the one thousand year reign. He will be released for a short time at the end of the millennium.
