You have a point about Lucifer, but it seems strange that he hasn't teleported anywhere or really done anything other than killing one angel with a snap of his fingers.

That said, what has been shown is that God and 4 archangels combined managed to imprison Amara, and only after tricking her. His power is nowhere near hers; you're conflating real-world beliefs with Supernatural lore. God in the Supernatural universe has never been all-powerful. If God could defeat her, the archangels wouldn't have been needed. Even with their combined power, they still had to trick her, because the battle would have been lost otherwise.

Each horseman seems to be as powerful (relative to one another) as the problem they represent. Death is a sure thing, as long as there is life, but War, Pestilence, and Famine can be eradicated, even if there's still life.
