The 2024 Paris Olympics have commenced, but the opening ceremony has sparked significant controversy, leading many spectators to stop watching the games.
The ceremony included a provocative performance where drag queens, dressed suggestively, stood behind a long table, seemingly reenacting the Last Supper.
In another segment, a pale horse galloped at full speed with a rider wearing an Olympic cape. This imagery prompted hundreds of social media users to draw parallels to the pale horse mentioned in the Book of Revelation in the Bible.
Revelation 6:8 states, “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.”
