I have heard of this before, actually it is a well known teaching in certain denominations like some Baptist churches, Seventh Day Advent, and other Protestants and had been taught for decades. However, what is the scriptural backing that this rider on the white horse is the Antichrist? There is good scriptural understanding to dismiss that it is the Antichrist. I'd encourage you to watch this video to get a fair grasp on why
Revelation 6:2 is not the Antichrist. I'd like to know what your thoughts are on why you think it is.
. Regarding the video. It is Revelation, not Revelations. Anyone, giving a "lesson" on Revelation and not knowing that it is Revelation and not Revelations should not be teaching anyone.... till she has a lot more understanding.
And her rationale on "come" as being the reason the rider on the white horse is not Jesus (although the rider on the white horse is not Jesus, but not because of her rationale) is in error. Because it says "come and see" - addressing John to come and see.
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying,
Come and see.
The rider on the white horse is not carrying out the will of God.... she is making a huge error in thinking the horses of the chariots in Zechariah 6 are the same horses in Revelation 6.
The reason the rider on the white horse is the person who becomes the Antichrist is because a crown was given to him. That crown is because he has been anointed the King of Israel. Being the King of Israel is actually what makes the person the Antichrist.
Before then, the person is the little horn... and not yet the Antichrist.
Revelation 6-16, the chapters are structured on the 70th week of Daniel and the second half of the 70th week. Revelation 6 covers the entire 70th week. Other chapters like 13 + 14 are about the second half. Revelation 12 is about the entire 70th week. Revelation 10 + 11 is about the entire 70th week. Revelation 15+16 are about the second half of the 70th week. Revelation 7+8 +9 are about the second half of the 70th week. In keeping with the two foundational scriptures regarding the end times of Daniel 9:26-27 (the entire 70th week) and Matthew 24:15-31 (the second half of the 70th week).
The 70th week begins when the Antichrist confirms the covenant for 7 years... beginning the 70th week. Being the rider on the white horse in Revelation 6 is the only time the person appears in Revelation as being the Antichrist. In the other chapters in Revelation, the person is not in the role of being the Antichrist.

Since I mentioned that Revelation 6-16 are structured on the 70th week of Daniel and the second half of the 70th week, I might as well go on to say...
Revelation 17 and 18 are theme based on Mystery Babylon, the harlot, and their destruction; the revealing of the ten kings and seven kings; the revealing of the beast.
Revelation 19 is themed based on the day of the Lord Jesus Christ's return down to planet earth.
