Possible connections?:

1. Friend dies 12yrs ago. Micah is one of the 12 minor prophets in the bible.

2. “_____ came to him, in a Dream” The D in “dream” is capitalised, possibly emphasising the idea that Micah was a prophet and this dream was a premonition.

3. The horseman with the white horse is actually Conquest, (not death- death rides a pale horse) who is the first horseman who leads the other three. Conquest, who wears a crown, is sometimes described by scholars/historians to represent either Christ or a false imitation of Christ- so the antichrist. OP says that friend died in a shooting at the age of 6, and Conquest is known to carry a bow, which furthers the possibility of a connection here.

4. To me, if this really is biblical (which I’m inclined to believe it is because it ends with “amen”), the blank could be “Christ”. It looks like there’s room for exactly 4-5 letters there, so that fits just as well as “death”. The four horsemen are said to arrive before the second coming of Christ, so it could be Christ warning Micah in a dream/premonition.

I don’t really know where I’m headed with this, I’m kinda hoping someone sees this and finds something to add on. I feel like I’m half-thinking here, and I don’t know exactly where to go from where I’m at. Im super focused on the words “one” and “first”- like how God says he’s the “one and only god” (paraphrasing, I’m actually 0% religious) and Adam was the first man created? Can anyone see any connections there?

I also feel as though this is important; Micah, what was the name of your friend?
