Rev. 6:2 "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."

 

The one on the white horse was given a crown.  Is the antichrist given a crown?  What does the bow represent?  Remember Noah? The covenant was confirmed with a [rain]bow.  So, how does this one sitting on a white horse go conquering? 

 

It is the Holy Spirit conquering.  In Zechariah 4:6 "This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, not by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." A sharp two-edged sword...the word of God.

 

I think Matthew Henry agrees with me...I have his commentary. jfh

 

The next one had a red horse and was given a sword.  Like the wheat and the tares they go out together and come up together but the tares are burned up.
