"REPLY TO FAY:  WHY THE WHITE HORSE RIDER IN REV. 6 IS NOT JESUS"


This is in reply to your 7/28 post The Crown of the White Horse of Revelation 6. Astounding Information! (fivedoves.com) in which you stated the following:

"It gets better. the White Horse of Revelation simply must be Jesus. I'll clarify. The 'crown' that the rider of the White Horse in Revelation 6 is the crown of a military conqueror. Although the link below contradicts my ascertain that the rider is our LORD Jesus as opposed to the AC, it actually cements the idea that the rider of the White Horse of Revelation 6 is Jesus, Himself. Our precious LORD Jesus does, indeed, ride out as a military conqueror. He is coming to do battle with the evil ones. And with this battle comes the 42 months or 1,260 days of great tribulation. Our LORD Jesus arrives as a warrior!!! He comes to fight the evil ones. Also, the crown that is given to the rider of the White Horse is that of given to a victor. A laurel wreath of a crown. The WINNER. Much the same as the winners of the ancient Greek Olympic games were given as winners. Victors crowns!!!

(MY REPLY:  First of all, the rider on the white horse in Rev. 6:1-2 who is wearing a wreath crown (stephanos) who has a bow and goes forth to conquer when the 1st seal is opened cannot be Jesus because Jesus is up in heaven opening the 1st seal (and all the other seals) which releases the rider on the white horse to go forth and conquer which is a reason to believe that the rider on the white horse may be the Antichrist.

Rev. 6:1-2, "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. 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."

Also Jesus does not return as a warrior on a white horse until the great tribulation of 1,260 days is over when He returns to Earth on a white horse at which time He uses the sword of His mouth to smite the nations.  At that time, He is wearing many crowns or diadems which is not a stephanos (wreath). This is shown in Rev. 19:11-12, "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. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.")
