Rev 6:5-6 And when He had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, Come and see. And I looked, and lo, a black horse. And he sitting on it had a balance in his hand. (6) And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say, A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius. And do not hurt the oil and the wine.

This rider represents hunger and famine. The horse he rides is black, a color that describes a famine-racked body.

A scale would be used to measure and carefully dole out food. The denarius was a Roman silver coin equal in value to the daily wage of a working man. There will only be enough food for every day and this will be seen in the financial health of our Global Economy which is due to fail soon.
