Is Islam, of which ISIS is the most recent manifestation of this "religion", the fourth beast and fourth horse?
Dan 7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
Dan 7:19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
Rev 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale (green) horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Immediately after the appearance of the fourth horse, you see the opening of the fifth seal and the revelation of the souls of those "slain for the Word of God" under the alter:
Rev 6:9 - 11 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Who Is the God of Islam
You can't live in the world today and not be aware that the god of Muslims is Allah. What you might not know is that this god is mentioned in the Bible...by name:

Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
