The question asked on another forum (that I have been banned from)
Who is the rider on the white horse in Rev 6?
Is it Christ or antichrist?
Personally I dont think it is either, neither do I think it is important to know, or John would have said.
That aside, I certainly do not believe it is Christ, and I will give my biggest reason for saying that.
NASB:
Rev 6:1 Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, "Come."
Rev 6:2 I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
The best text have the living creatures saying "Come." (or "Go") Not "Come and see." as in some translations.
Why would a living creature command John, with a 'voice of thunder' to come and see?
I think it is important because, I believe that the living creatures are commanding the horse and horsemen to "Come." (or "Go"), and not commanding John to "Come and see."
If what I believe is correct, then it would be wrong for one of the living creatures, to be giving Christ a command to do anything (Come or Go) especially with a 'voice of thunder'
