In Revelation 9:15, four angels are released to kill a third of mankind; here the same slaughter is described, making them direct narrative parallels.

This verse repeats the fire, smoke, and brimstone imagery from the previous verse, reinforcing the description of the horses' deadly breath.

Revelation 6:8's fourth horseman kills a fourth of the earth; here a third is killed by plagues—both are progressive judgments of death.

Revelation 14:10 also features fire and brimstone as instruments of divine punishment, though there it is eternal torment rather than temporal death.

Fire from the horses' mouths here and the sun's scorching fire in Revelation 16:8 both serve as divine plagues afflicting mankind.
