This is the official explanation: "The flag consists of four colors: red, white, green, and black, inspired by the poetic verse of Safi al-Din al-Hilli, a 14th century warrior poet: 'Our actions are bright, our battlefields are dark, our lands are green, and our swords are red with the blood of our enemies.'" It's an interesting connection, though.
”Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
RED
When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.” Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
BLACK
When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”
PALE
When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.“

Islam is also notable for being green-only as on other flags. The horsemen have leeway over every quarter of the earth, so don't get limited by a single fulfillment. Another biggie is this one:
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Fire = RED
Jacinth = Hyacinth = BLUE
Brimstone = Sulfur = YELLOW
Where would that indicate? Don't get too localized, the story is global, and so is the kingdom.
Yes, End Time prophecy covers a lot of things pertaining to the kingdom of the anti-christ, the books of Daniel & Revelation show his kingdom will be made up of the area of the major Empires represented. by the Beasts, but his influence will be WW.
I really enjoyed the miniseries, and should have known it was book-based but didn't. Would you recommend the book even though I've watched the series already?
NM, I already ordered it :D Need a good beach read, this fits the bill.
God will deal with Israel > Zech. 13:In the whole land,” declares the Lord,
“two-thirds will be struck down and perish;
yet one-third will be left in it.
9 This third I will put into the fire;
I will refine them like silver
and test them like gold.
They will call on my name
and I will answer them;
I will say, ‘They are my people,’
and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’”
Rom. 11:25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, 26 and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written:
“The deliverer will come from Zion;
he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
27 And this is[f] my covenant with them
when I take away their sins.”[g]

we’re missing a key point in this post.
The Bible doesn’t say that there’s a green horse
Revelation 6:1-8 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/rev.6.1-8.NKJV

Reading "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett provides a better classical education than one would think.
Brilliant book & pretty decent miniseries!
I really enjoyed the miniseries, and should have known it was book-based but didn't. Would you recommend the book even though I've watched the series already?

Oh for sure! & the casting was good so you'll be able to picture them while reading ;)
& the Italian flag, Mexico, etc
These colors have some significance to the Muslim religion. Perhaps, someone in the know can inform the rest of us.
Ugh. If you're going to quote Revelation, don't forget 2:2 and 3:2. Who's motto is "by way of deception thou shalt do war"?
