The Rider Of The White Horse.

[kingdomwitness]

This Is The 2nd Or 3rd Time I Have Posted Concerning This Topic. People Think The Rider Of The White Horse Is The Antichrist. How Can One Of The Riders Be A Person And The Rest Be Things? I Think The Rider Of The White Horse Symbolizes The Ministry Of The Church Or The Church Itself. People Rightly Point Out That The Church And Israel Are Usually Symbolized By A Woman. But There Are Exceptions.

Exodus 4:22 - "And You Shall Say Unto Pharaoh `This Is What JEHOVAH Says' Israel Is My Son, My Firstborn Son"

Also Read Hosea 11:1 To See My Point.


The Rider Held A Bow Which I Think Is The Bible. The Crown Might Symbolise Victory.

 

[Straightshot]

Know that the seals are portents of the prevalent conditions of the coming tribulation

They are like a list of chapter subject divisions in a book and not the actual events which begin with the trumpet soundings of chapter 8

The list begins with the Lord continuing to make His salvation possible during the tribulation .... and includes His intent to bring judgement upon an unbelieving world

The riders are symbolic and not individuals, and the order is not necessarily significant .... all of the 6 conditions of the tribulation will be present together during the tribulation from start to finish .... and the 7th is the pause just before the judgments begin to fall

The first four judgment trumpet soundings in chapter 8 will occur in rapid fire sequence and relate to the fall of the "great city" part of MBG [Revelation 8:6-12; 14:8; 17:16-18; 18:1-21]

The 5th and 6th trumpets are related to the introduction of satanic/angelic involvement in the tribulation

The 7th will begin sounding toward end of the tribulation and will include the cluster of 7 additional judgments which will be directed against Satan's beast and his followers at the end of the tribulation

The white color in Revelation's unfolding is applied to the Lord and those who follow Him, and red is applied to Satan and his minions

Keep in mind that Revelation's unfolding is more subjective rather than chronological .... the visions are subject oriented and repeating [layered] as the overall theme moves forward

Example: the immortal church is seen in heaven just before, during, and just after the tribulation [Revelation 3:10; 4:4; 5:1-10; 7:9-17; 11:1; 13:6; 17:14; 18:4; 19:1-9; 19:14; 20:4 [those on thrones]]

And there are some historical reach backs for overview

Here are the prevalent conditions of the tribulation

Spreading of the gospel of the Lord's coming millennial kingdom upon the earth [Matthew 24:14]
Intense satanic and human warfare
Economic collapse and famine
Massive human death
Martyrdom of tribulation believers
Environmental upheaval and human reaction to the Lord's judgment
A pause in silence in heaven just before the judgment trumpets begin to sound

The Rider Held A Bow Which I Think Is The Bible. The Crown Might Symbolise Victory.

The rider on the white horse is the Antichrist because it is with his arrival that the troubles represented by the other riders follow. His arrival is at the beginning.

In Revelation 19, Jesus is riding a white horse as well - but His riding of a white horse is at the end of all the troubles signified by the other horsemen. In great power and glory. The grand revealing to the world, that God honors Him with, that God gives to Him. That is what the Revelation of Jesus Christ actually means.

People Think The Rider Of The White Horse Is The Antichrist.

I'm sorry for this. They do it in Daniel 9 too. They insert the Bad Guy right into the spot where our Glorious Lord Jesus belongs.

I Think The Rider Of The White Horse Symbolizes The Ministry Of The Church Or The Church Itself.
The Rider Held A Bow Which I Think Is The Bible. The Crown Might Symbolise Victory.

4735 stéphanos – properly, a wreath (garland), awarded to a victor in the ancient athletic games (like the Greek Olympics); the crown of victory (versus 1238 /diádēma, "a royal crown").


4735 (stéphanos) is used of a plaited wreath ("crown"), like the one made of thorns placed on the head of Christ at His trial.


I think you're doing good Kingdom, you're on the right track. The "bow" is made of fabric like a blue ribbon given to the Winner of a race. The crown is of the "stephanos" variety which is a crown of victory. The first seal is linked to an event on Earth in 1798. The rider on the white horse sends out the message that salvation comes through faith in Jesus only and not what some "church" tells us to do.

During the middle ages it was the "church" that told you if you were saved or not and on your way to Heaven. They would burn us at the stake if we were ever caught owning a Bible, even just a page out of one. Martin Luther (not King) was trying to get the message out in the 1500's that this was wrong and was often just barely out of reach of the pope who was trying to burn him at the stake every chance that he could get. I found a couple of PDF chapters from a book that can explain it better than me.

Here's a snip in case you don't have time:

"The Bible teaches that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone. No ritual, clergy, or church can save a sinner. A person’s connection to Christ does not come through a priest, preacher, rabbi, or cleric. Rather, a connection with Jesus is available to every person through the work of the Holy Spirit. Jesus speaks to us through the Holy Spirit and Jesus offers salvation to any person willing to obey His teachings and voice.

After the power of the papacy was wounded in 1798, the Holy Spirit put a compelling desire within Protestants to broadcast salvation through faith in Christ around the world.

For more than twelve hundred years, the Roman Catholic Church had claimed that salvation came through obedience to the traditions and sacraments of the Church. When papal power was broken in1798, the time had come for the world to hear the truth about salvation.

Daniel 7:9-14 aligns with Revelation 5. Daniel saw Jesus exalted to the throne (in 1798) and given sovereign power. John also saw Jesus receive the book sealed with seven seals (in 1798) and given sovereign power.

The bow carried in the rider’s hand is not a weapon of war as artists commonly portray it. The Greek word toxon indicates the bow is made of fabric which indicates the bow carried in the rider’s hand is a winner’s ribbon."

Jesus opened the first seal of the Revelation in 312 AD when the sign of the Son of Man appeared in the clouds, and Jesus came into power through St. Constantine who rode a white horse and conquered with a bow. Jesus has been ruling the earth through His followers ever since. Jesus now rules the earth through the US which was founded by George Washington who rode a pale horse. Our weapons bring hell and death to the enemies of Jesus.

Only the Lamb has the right to open the seals and reveal their meaning and he does this in the olivet discourse.

First white horse = Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

Second red horse = And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

Third black horse = And there will be famines

Forth pale horse = pestilences

So what we have in the First white horse is religious deception within Christianity.

The bow carried in the rider’s hand is not a weapon of war as artists commonly portray it. The Greek word toxon indicates the bow is made of fabric which indicates the bow carried in the rider’s hand is a winner’s ribbon."

Furthermore, the Greek word toxon is derived from the word tikto which means: I bear, bring forth, produce, beget, yield, give birth.

In Russian Orthodox iconography... Michael, God's holy warrior, rides a red horse.
The rider on the white horse is St George slaying the dragon... that symbolism may
have originated from the family seal of Cyrus the Great, God's anointed king who
conquered ancient Babylon. White horses were sacred to the ancient Persians.
It was an incident with one of his white horses that gave Cyrus the brilliant idea
to dry up the Euphrates River to secretly invade Babylon and conquer it. In his
victorious entry into conquered Babylon, Cyrus would have rode a white horse.

The US government now proudly proclaims it intends to make the world safe for sodomites...
but what do you expect from a nation created by antichrist deists and freemasons.

My comment

From conquering .... and to continue conquering

Only the Lord has done and will do this thing

Satan has never won and will not win in the coming tribulation

Revelation
6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

The four horsemen are introduced by (or founded by) the 4 living creatures which are 4 Churches directly descended from the early Church (having priests directly descended from St. Peter through the process of "laying on of hands"). The US was founded by Episcopalians led by George Washington who rode a pale-looking horse named Blueskin. And until Obama, most of our presidents have been members of the established Church. And yes, equally alarming, we now have SSM thanks to Obamaand his followers. So I don't know how much longer God is going rule the earth through the US. At some point, possibly soon, the 4th horseman will be replaced by the 5th horseman.

5th horseman = Revelation 19:11

The imagery of Rev 19:11 is of Cyrus... God's anointed king who conquered ancient Babylon.
Since Revelation also calls the end time evil empire, Babylon, it is fitting that the one who
conquers Mystery Babylon is patterned after Cyrus, who is an OT archetype of Christ.

Also interesting... the man on the white horse in Revelation 19:11-21 is a NT parallel to Isaiah 63:1-6.
Isaiah 63:1-6 tells us whose blood has stained his clothing... Edom's blood. To properly understand this...
one must understand the OT animosity between Jacob [Israel] and Edom... and the historic role of Edom
as the destroying enemy during the time of Christ.

[bibletruth469]

I believe that the 4 horseman represent some type of judgement. I do not think that the white one represent s the Antichrist like so many say, but represents false Christs and deception. I personally believe that none of the horsemen or the first 4 seals represent anything but judgement. I would like some poster to bring up some verses that prove otherwise. To me, the 4 horseman ( 4 seals) follow the birth pains mentioned by Jesus in Matt 24, olivet discourse. I'm open to other suggestions and thoughts.

Consider this - If God wants a nation to fall such as Israel, Elam in the OT, what
did He do?

break the bow///cease the kingdom

Elam ?!

Again... consciously or unconsciously... posters on this forum today are posting symbolic signals...
For those who understand the Elam symbol... this is very interesting.

What do you mean?

You're the one who posted, Elam... what did you mean ?

Elam was where God's holy warrior on the white horse arose !

Elam is not Iraq.

But God's holy warrior on the white horse, God's prince from Elam, did conquer what is now Iraq.
