The document provides an analysis of the rider on the white horse in Revelation 6:1-2. It argues that this rider represents the Antichrist for seven reasons: 1) An individual is referred to riding the white horse to imitate and claim to be Christ. 2) Scripture shows Satan will give the Antichrist a crown. 3) Only the Antichrist is predicted to go forth conquering at the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel. 4) This rider's conquests will cause the wars and disasters of the following seals. 5) If not the Antichrist, his identity and role is unclear. 6) This rider paves the way for the Antichrist's rise to power. 7

Seal 1
Rev 6:1-2
1) 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.
2) 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.

Reference Bible Topics - Seven Proofs That
This Rider Is Antichrist
1. An individual is referred to (Rev 6:2).

2. 2. He comes on a white horse, imitating
Christ and claiming to be Him (Rev 6:2;
Matt 24:4-5; John 5:43; Dan 9:27; 11:37).
Matt 24:4-5 4 And Jesus answered and said
unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and shall deceive many. KJV
John 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and
ye receive me not: if another shall come in his
own name, him ye will receive. KJV
Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant
with many for one week: and in the midst of the
week he shall cause the sacrifice and the
oblationto cease, and for the overspreading of
abominationshe shall make it desolate, even
until the consummation, and that determined
shall be poured upon the desolate. KJV
Dan 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of
his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard
any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
KJV
3. A bow connection with man pictures
designs of conquests (Psa 7:12; 11:2; 37:14;

3. 46:9; 58:7; Jer 49:35). Christ is always
symbolized as having a sword, not a bow
(Rev 1:16; 19:15; 19:21).
4. Scripture makes it clear that Satan is the
one who gives Antichrist a crown (Dan
8:24; 11:38-39; 2Thes 2:8-12; Rev 13:2;
13:4).
5. Antichrist is the only person predicted in
Scripture as going forth “conquering and to
conquer” at this particular time, beginning
Daniel's 70th week (Dan 7:7-8; 7:20-21;
7:23-24; 8:23-25; 9:27; 11:36-45; Rev 6:1).
It takes him the first 3 1/2 years of the 70th
week, or the last 7 years of this age, to get
power over the future 10 kingdoms inside
the Roman Empire territory. He first
overthrows 3 of them (Dan 7:23-24). Then
by the middle of the week the 10 kings
submit to him without further war. He then
reigns over the 10 kingdoms for 3 1/2 years

4. and fights Christ at Armageddon (Rev 13:1-
5; 17:8-17; 19:11-21).
6. This rider will cause the wars, famines,
pestilences, death, and hell of the following
3 seals (Rev 6:3-8).
7. If this is not Antichrist, then we do not
have him mentioned in Revelation before
the middle of the week (Rev. 13). Were that
the case, we have two men going forth to
conquer at the beginning of the week-one
clearly pictured in Dan 7:23-24; 8:23-25;
9:27; 11:36-45 and One Here. Without these
passages in Daniel the sphere of conquest,
the number of nations conquered, the
identity of the conqueror, his rise to power,
and other facts could not be defined. But
putting these passages with Rev 6:1-2; 13:1-
18; 14:9-11; 16:13-16; 17:1-17; 19:19-20
we have the complete revelation of the one
man. If we do not take the one in Daniel and
the one here as being identical, then we can

5. know nothing regarding the identity of the
white horse rider.
