Revelation 6 & 7 – Who, or what, does the white horse represent? 2019

Rev 6:1
And I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, "Come."

Rev 6:2
And I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him; and he went out conquering, and to conquer.

Keep in mind that John is telling us what he sees and hears. He is not trying to fabricate object lessons that teach us anything. He is telling us what he saw and heard. This rider on the white horse has a bow. We are not told how many arrows he is carrying, but that is a moot point. We can look into Scripture and only one man has ever been described as an "archer," and that is Ishmael (Gen. 21:15-20). The descendants of Ishmael are the Muslim people. "Muhammed died in 632 A.D. and was buried in Medina. This is a known historical fact but Muslim tradition tells a different story. They claim that he went to Jerusalem on a white horse and ascended into heaven from a rock that is now enclosed in the Dome of the Rock (Mosque of Omar) on Mt. Moriah. This is why Jerusalem is considered a holy place for Muslims. From the Combating[1] Terrorism Center at West Point The[2] white horse is inextricably tied to conceptions of the prophet, martyrdom, and paradise (heaven). It is most often associated with the Prophet Muhammads miraj or night journey to heaven, when the Prophet ascended to heaven on the back of a white horse. http://www.ctc.usma.edu/imagery_nature.asp In[3] the year 621, at the age of 51 years old, He (Muhammad) flew on the magical Winged-Horse of Fire which he called Burak, which literally means White Horse but seen as "Thunder-Lightning". The full version of this most memorable moment has been preserved in "The Bokhari" (Vol.15, p.3615) one of the Holy Islamic Scriptures. http://www.allaboutturkey.com/muhammed.htm

The white horse is undoubtedly Muhammad who went forth conquering and to conquer. (look at Rev 6:1-2 again).
The Four Horsemen
This is one incredible passage in Scripture! It is so plainly laid out and yet so sadly misunderstood.

The Four Horsemen are described in chapter 6 and their identification is truly astounding. Are you curious as to their identities? Watch and see if you don't agree!

If you haven't watched our commentary on chapters 4 & 5, we recommend you see it first. If you have already seen it, we know you will want to watch this!
