Ezekiel 5:14-17 ESV
Moreover, I will make you a desolation and an object of reproach among the nations all around you and in the sight of all who pass by. You shall be a reproach and a taunt, a warning and a horror, to the nations all around you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and fury, and with furious rebukes—I am the Lord; I have spoken— when I send against you the deadly arrows of famine, arrows for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, and when I bring more and more famine upon you and break your supply of bread. I will send famine and wild beasts against you, and they will rob you of your children. Pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword upon you. I am the Lord; I have spoken.”
This may lend support to the idea that the first horseman in Revelation signifies God as unleashing His judgement on Jerusalem. The arrows of destruction have been loosed from His quiver. In His hand is a bow which loosed the arrows of His judgement.
