I think the fourth door might possibly be

pointing to tea, or perhaps more specifically to the Boston Tea Party.

The quotation

is from Psalm 73 verse 17, perhaps suggesting the year 1773

and the plant on the door

seems like it might plausibly be a tea plant.

(This has been confirmed by the questioner in comments. Thanks, Maria!)

Now, the time on door 2 looks to me like

it might be 18:12; I think this may well refer to Napoleon's failed invasion of Russia in that year, which failed because of the very cold winter, hence the snowflake.

(... and now I look at other answers I see that Yandrakus got there first and his answer has been confirmed correct.)

So, so far it seems that:

Door 1 takes us to some currently-unknown place signified by a devil and redness. Seems distinctly unpromising, but the straightforward interpretation that this leads to hell has been guessed by about 666 people and explicitly rejected by the questioner.
Door 2 will dump us in the middle of Napoleon's army's defeat at the hands of the ferocious Russian winter. No thanks.
Door 3 will dump us back in the present. Seems like a pretty good option.
Door 4 will drop us in the harbour at Boston in late 1773, and there will be no tea to drink any more.

Some ideas that have been confirmed by the questioner to be wrong:

I wondered whether there might be a general theme of drinks to go with the Boston Tea Party behind door 4. Nope.

I thought Radoslav's suggestion of using "anno lucis" dating had been confirmed by the questioner and meant that door 3 said 1776. But apparently I misunderstood that; it's year 5776 in the Hebrew calendar, which is the year we're in right now. (Which, incidentally, probably means that that's the door we should take.)

I wondered whether other doors might have corresponding US cities -- Hell, Michigan for door 1; Waterloo, Iowa (because of 18:12, except that of course Waterloo was actually 1815 not 1812 and I'm an idiot) for door 2; Independence, Missouri (because of 1776) for door 3. All wrong, I think.

There are any number of things known by titles resembling "Red Devil(s)" and some of them have dates (e.g., of foundation) associated with them, but it seems like we need something cleverer...

So, so far it seems that:

Door 1 takes us to some currently-unknown place signified by a devil and redness. Seems distinctly unpromising, but presumably it's something less obvious than just taking us straight to hell.
Door 2 will dump us in the middle of Napoleon's army's defeat at the hands of the ferocious Russian winter. No thanks.
Door 3 will dump us back in the present. Seems like a pretty good option.
Door 4 will drop us in the harbour at Boston in late 1773, and there will be no tea to drink any more.

Now, the time on door 2 looks to me like

it might be 18:12; perhaps a reference to the War of 1812 or to the Russian battles commemorated by Tchaikovsky's overture?

But I don't see how to fit that with the snowflake or with any of the other doors.
