I know it's not funny if you have to explain it...

But it's still clever, even if I'm not sure it's intentional.

There's a Messianic Jewish (as in Jews for Jesus) rock group that calls themselves (in Hebrew) The Arba Minim

In Hebrew the main way that this would translate would be "The Four Species," a reference to The four species used during the holiday of Sukkot.

Another way it could be translated is "The four heretics."

Are they a Metal band? Would that make them "The Four Heretics of the Apocalypse?"

Not to get all PC on your ass, but there are a bunch of Messianic Jews who would take offense at being lumped in with J4J, which is really more of a Baptist front organization.

(Please don't tell Aliza I was anywhere near your ass.)
