AMPLIFIED 2015					Rev 6:2 I looked, and behold, a ¹white horse [of victory] whose rider carried a ²bow; and a crown [of victory] was given to him, and he rode forth conquering and to conquer. [Ps 45:4, 5; Zech 1:8; 6:1-8]

Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.

Some interpreters note that the rabbis said that if one sees a white horse in a dream, it is a good sign (Talmud). Jewish believers who heard these words being read in their church (see 1:3) probably would think that the vision indicated Israel would soon be freed from foreign domination. In the Roman world a white horse was a symbol of victory in battle. In this case the peace is deceptive because it will not be lasting. Other interpreters argue that the horseman represents the conquering Christ, as in 19:11.

Without an arrow (if arrows are not to be assumed) the bow may symbolize a bloodless victory or conquest.
