Now, we're on the 2nd Living Creature:
2nd Living Creature: OX / CALF - Priest / Servant - Able to Meet the Needs of the People (Gospel of Mark)
The Ox/Calf is displaying that it is the Father's Will to meet all of my needs - spiritual, mental, emotional, physical. The Ox was a beast of burden... helping plow fields, carry heavy loads, even could provide food and clothing. There's a reason why the Israelites made a golden Calf in the wilderness... it symbolized a God that would meet their needs. They were afraid they would not be provided for in the wilderness and Moses was probably dead and not returning to camp... fear and wantonness, instead of quiet faith.
Jesus displayed the Ox/Calf when He fed the five thousand with 2 fish and 5 loaves, as well as, telling Peter to pull money out of a fishes mouth to pay their taxes. Healing all kinds of sickness and diseases. Demonstrating the Father's ability for complete provision.
Oh boy, here comes the "consequence" of rejecting the Father as the Source of all Provision....
4 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.
2nd Seal: Ox/Calf releases Rider w/sword on Red Horse
When I rebel, I'm choosing to take care of myself with no dependency on God. I'll have to kill or be killed to take care of myself; thus, I will no longer have peace - just fear, worries and war... robbing and stealing, cheating each other because we're afraid there's not enough.
Symbolism:
Red Horse - shedding of blood to meet needs
Great Sword - killing and wars
No Peace - constant fear of not having enough

Second Seal:
3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.”4 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.
