The White Horse!

As you may as well noticed I study end times as a lot of people do now and we all have our own thoughts, earlier I done some blogs on the seven churches which exist in type now.
I will continue and maybe we can agree on a few things, then again maybe not. After John gets in the spirit and sees gets the grand tour of heaven and is prepared for the things which will happen shortly, this takes place in chapter 5, but chapter 6 is where I want to go 6:1 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. 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. Revelation 6:1-2 KJV Most scholars take this horse to be Satan because he always imitates Jesus, I have read a interesting set of books on Revelation which propose that this rider is Jesus Christ himself, because he conquered all, sin death and the grave.
Christ was given his first crown[of thorns] then accomplished his mission of going through life with no sin, then died a bloody death, buried in a borrowed tomb, conquered Hell by going to it and saving the Old Testament Saints and then after his work was done ascended to heaven. Notice the bow he was given, but no arrows, a bow is useless without arrows. In the Strong's the word bow in this text is only used 1 time [5115with a reference to 5088] To produce from a seed as a mother , a plant, the earth ,etc- bear , to be born, be delivered , to be in travail, don't see no mention of arrows, do you? I would tend to believe that this horse rider was Jesus Christ because he did ride the colt into Jerusalem, was given a crown, and he did conquer, which would make sense to the next rider as being Satan which we will look into tomorrow.

michaelbell,
Let me be the first to agree with you. The white horse would stand for purity not evil so its rider would be the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Never has the white horse represented bad or evil.
Now if we can just get parkerbrothers to agree with us.
But isn't that the purpose of the antichrist to make people beleive he is Jesus. So why not be on a white horse, we think of white as being pure and Jesus as being pure . And the antichrist is able to bring peace to the world without bloodshed, he performs miracles thats how he deceives so many into thinking he's Jesus.
Look in Rev 19:11 it says: And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. Does this not sound like they are talking about Jesus, if so Jesus is not the rider of the first white horse.
bellbuckletn,
Satan tempted Jesus, but Jesus conqued over satan. Satan was defeated in heaven also by Michael the archangel, when Jesus was crucified and was cast out of heaven and down to earth where he became the ruler of this world.
Ever since then, the blood of Christ has redeemed us from satan's power so Christ the Messiah is still riding that white horse overpowering the ruler of the world, the God of this world, the prince of darkness.
We are given the power in his name to resist the devil, but it is because of him who rides the white horse.
Rev 6:2 and I saw and behold a white horse and he that sat down on him had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering and to conquer
Jesus continues to conquer until the last day and beyond. Satan doesn't conquer, he was only given the power to make war and to rule the world.
The real conquerer is Christ.
What does satan conquer? When he wins souls, they wind up in the gas chamber, electric chair , hung by their neck, etc.. Where are his conquests. Jesus resisted satan and his kingdoms here on earth.
The anti-christ comes up out of the sea and satan gives his power to the anti-christ. SO which one are you saying is the rider, the anti-christ or satan? The anti-christ doesn't appear until the end. The 4 horsemen have already been released. The Beast has his false prophet, image of the beast and the mark of the beast. He doesn't need a white horse to ride.
I just can't seem to make sense of the reason behind mentioning the first white horse in Rev. 6:1 If he was Jesus and mentioning it again in Rev. 19:11-12 His eyes were as flames of fire and on his head were MANY crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. Every where I have search this they all say the first white horseman was the antichrist. Guess I will keep looking.
I was just proposing one theory,The whole teaching I read consist of eras, maybe after I complete all of the horsemen it might make sense.
Christ did only have one crown at first[the one of thorns]and he earned many more, the same as we can.
bellbuckletn,
After doing more research I have to agree more with you.
The rider on the white horse is not Jesus nor the anti-christ himself, but the false christs/false religions.
These four horsemen were given power over a fourth of the earth to conquer and kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. These are the very things that God uses to destroy men. Jesus will use the sword that protrudes from his mouth, not famine, plaques and beasts.
Christ will return on a white horse in the end and conquer and kill millions if not billions of people, but not as one of the 4 horsemen who prepare the way for the anti-christ.
When we really think about it, Christ doesn't need 3 other horsemen to do what he can do all by himself.
Since the first white horse carries the false christ, he sets the stage for the other 3 horsemen to kill by war, by famine, by plaques and death by beasts.
Sorry about jumping the gun. Like I said before, I don't know it all. A little research goes a long way. My first research uncovered Christ as the rider, but doesn't make as much sense as the false-christs/false-religions.
Thats how I have interpeted it, That's why I was having trouble making sense of it being Christ. I try to gather as much info. as I can then use common sense to figure it out, sometimes I'm right sometimes I'm not. On to the Red Horse.
