Quote from JFH:
Dear Marilyn Agee, thanks
for your response. I'm interested to know what
others think. I choose to believe that the bow is
not just a piece of fabric but the New Covenant
[rain]bow reminiscent of Noah's rainbow covenant from
God.
Regarding:
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 6:2
Since you asked:
The word "bow" as used in
Revelation 6:2, translated from the Greek means fabric, a
bow of fabric, nothing more, nothing less. This
particular Greek word occurs only once in one verse in the
Bible, namely Revelation 6:2.
Also, the word "crown" is found
66 times in 66 verses in the Bible but as used in
Revelation 6:2, translated from the Greek, but as
found in Strongs can mean a crown made up of a
wreath of garland.
Back in 2009 I had posted my
view as to the identity of the one on the white horse, (as
well as my view on the other riders.)
