Greetings! Notice that the rider has no arrows! (See Ps. 45:4-5) Please read the following taken Wrom: OQKEDOTWFAOBUZXUWLSZLKBRNVWWCUFPEGAUTFJM The second question fostered by the first seal concerns the identity of the rider. Out of the many possibilities offered, we prefer the person who will later be identified as the beast from the sea (Rev 13:1). As the primary antagonist and counterpart to the Lamb in the Revelation, the beast best accords with the description given in the first seal. First, the rider is mounted on a white horse. This is compared to the Lord who rides a white horse when He comes at Armageddon as detailed in Revelation 19:11-21. This has led some commentators to argue that the reader is Christ Himself. This can hardly be the case given that Christ breaks the seals. Equally, it is clear that the seals initiate events on the earth in connection with the end of the age during which the Lord will return to earth from heaven. During this period, there is no prophetic indication that the Lord will initiate this period by conquering on the earth. The white horse imagery is the first indicator of the rider’s identity. As the imitator of Christ and world-deceiver, the beast fulfills his destiny. The white horse is a part of his deception. The second descriptive detail associated with this rider is a bow. The bow is an ancient instrument of war. This rider is prepared for war. The third descriptive detail concerns a crown. The crown (stephanos) denotes rule or authority (II Sam 12:29-30). The fourth and final descriptive detail concerns the rider’s conduct—"he went out conquering and that he might conquer." To rule over others by conquest is the goal of this rider. As will be evident later, these are descriptive details related to the beast. The Lord Jesus predicted that the end of the age would begin with a dramatic increase in false proclaimers. These false proclaimers will proclaim one message, but have false motives (Matt 24:5). Do check out this web site! mommapbs |

3 | Rider -Jesus or Anti-Christ | Rev 6:2 | Lastday | 99604 | ||
The usual interpretation of the White Horseman is that he represents the Beast. A friend and I have believed since Dec.23 of 1988 that this Horseman stands for the "defense and spread of Democracy." My friend heard Pres.Reagan and David Brinkley discuss the "victory" of Democracy over Comunism during the prior years. I read an article in the Wall Street Journal on "An Ideology for all Seasons." Independently of each other, on the same day, we believed we had the answer to the identity of the Rider on the White Horse of Rev.6:1,2. The word "bow" means to conquer by "struggling" against the opposition as of a seed to grow or a child to be born. Forces that oppose Democracy must be overcome. Daniel 2:40-44 predicts the endtime "mixture of iron and clay" in which Democratic forces seek to join with all forms of government among the "seed of men." I believe Revelation paints the same picture in Rev.17 of Mystery Babylon bringing all the elements of "iron and clay" governments together. The victor's crown given to the White Horseman, in my view, symbolizes the Nuclear Bomb which not only won the war but served as a deterrent during the "cold war" with Communism until the Berlin Wall came down in 1989. If the "bow" represents the struggle to uphold Democracy, then the Rider is not a single person but whoever has led in "going forth conquering in order to overcome evil forces that seek to destroy us." Right now President Bush is doing a superb job in not only containing Terrorism, but in defeating those who would use this evil method to dominate other nations. I believe the coming attempt by religious leaders to unite all rulers and realms and regimes to maintain world peace will fulfill the role of Mystery Babylon the Great before we even begin to know who the Beast might be.

...A friend and I have believed since Dec.23 of 1988 that this Horseman stands for the "defense and spread of Democracy." Democracy isn't spreading its decling. The USA has appointed people making the Laws of the land (The Supreme Court) Canada is Socialism. Israel the only "democracy" in the middle east. Europe is doing away with Demcracy. I don't believe that Demoracy will ever thrive in the middle east, they do not want demoracy. ...Right now President Bush is doing a superb job in not only containing Terrorism, but in defeating those who would use this evil method to dominate other nations. As much as I like Presedent Bush, I have to disagree alittle here. Saudi Arabia is where most of the highjackers came from. The US is still patting their back. As well as the problem in the middle east with Israel and the terrorists in "Palestine" he is lacking doing anything here except telling Israel not to defend them self fully as Saudi Arabia gives money to the terrorist families. Bush has a long way to go if he survives the next election. Which I hope he does. Bush still hasn't hit terrorists in the heart. Although I don't want a political debate here. I don't see anywheres where democracy is thriving I see it dieing. In Christ, Darcy |
