"What does death ridding a pale horse represent?" — Netizens react to metal horse galloping down Seine River at Paris Olympics

One of the major attractions of the Paris Olympics 2024 opening ceremony was a metal horse that galloped down the Seine River to deliver the Olympic flag during the event. At that time, the live broadcast of the opening ceremony featured a clip of Olympic moments over the years.

Fans have been discussing the silver horse that caught everyone's attention during the opening ceremony. Many found explanations for the horse, while some criticized it. Some of the comments on X (formerly Twitter) are as follows:

"What does death ridding a pale horse represent?," commented one fan.

"It's the 33rd Summer Olympics too," declared another.

"This is the counterfeit beast that will raise up the real Antichrist’s false light retribution against it. You folks are all taking Satan’s bait," announced another fan.

Other comments from netizens about the alleged significance behind the metal horse are as follows:

"Behold a pale horse: and his name that sat upon him was Death, and Hell followed with him -Rev 6:8," quoted one fan.

"It means suit up brother," commented another fan.

"The beginning of the end for these sick b*st*rds," opined another.

After the metal horse had run its course, a real horse with a real rider was seen galloping to the stage before the Olympic flag was hoisted above the Trocadero. After the flag hoisting and the singing of the French national anthem, President Emmanuel Macron addressed the people in French:

“I declare the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad open!” said the President.
