As the mind of man uses his body as a beast of burden to do his work, so the horse is harnessed as
a beast of burden to do his work. The horse represents the body or beast.(Ps.147:10) He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man. This verse could well fit the other horse riders in revelation six, but to ride a white horse symbolizes completely harnessing the strength of your body and mind to do righteous work. The horse carries the rider like the “legs of a man†carry the Man-child. Overcomers ride white horses because their body submits to the
spiritual man who submits to the Holy Spirit.
What about this for a type of the rider and white horse?
- * Exodus 15:1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, "I will sing unto the LORD, for He that triumphed gloriously: The horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea.
Therein we have Moses, a type of the man child, the children of Israel and "the horse and his rider" being thrown in the sea! A perfect end time scenario for when God triumphs.
Pharoah is a type for Satan. Could he be a type for...the rider on the white horse?
Vic C. said:Ok now, what are we doing? Are we doing word searches to see how we can shoehorn verses to fit one's belief? That's no way to approach this study!
Vic is correctly pointing out , that , that specific use of that verse, does not fit. Vic is well aware of types and shadows. I really do not think its OK to use this kind of posting, because you are setting yourself above others by saying thing like " a little advance for some" .NIGHTMARE said:Its types and shadows,,,there all over the bible,,but it might be a little advanced for some... :eyebrow

LOL, no there is no type in this for the white horse rider.These are not "white horses"
Moses brought the judgments over Egypt. The Man-child/White Horse Rider will also bring judgment on Babylon. Now for that we DO have a type and shadow in the story of Moses.

Obviously you are welcome to believe that WW. I am simply giving you my belief Since this issue is never agreed upon in other circles, we will also not agree. There are definitely the two views .

Allow me to make one more comment before we agree to disagree.
Yes, white is the color of purity and is symbolic for Jesus and the man child. But, consider that he is coming pretending to be Jesus. God allows him this deception. He won't show up wearing a black hat or red long underwear.
Now...we will agree to disagree and still....you are a precious soul. :yes

The deception will be very great so this could well happen Nightmare.

The 'He' of Revelation 6:2 shows up wearing a crown. Who has the authority to give him a crown? Only God the Father! You have been deceived into believing Jesus is not the Messiah; the exact same sin as the first century pharisees. Truly you have eyes that do not see. The 'He' of Revelation 6:2 is Jesus.whirlwind said:Yes, white is the color of purity and is symbolic for Jesus and the man child. But, consider that he is coming pretending to be Jesus.

Don't be like this. You are being judgmental and your post will cause contention, which is wrong. We have been having a real good discussion in love so far.Sinthesis said:The 'He' of Revelation 6:2 shows up wearing a crown. Who has the authority to give him a crown? Only God the Father!

Indeed! :amen
"Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life." (Revelation 2:10)
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)
There is "a crown of victory" (stephanos) and a winner's ribbon" (toxon) for everyone who OVERCOMES the world through faith in Jesus Christ. As the Greek reads, "the rider went out overcoming that he might overcome." Hard to believe some twist this to represent Satan simply because there is a bow made out of fabric involved. Who said this bow made out of fabric MUST symbolize a phony replica of the rainbow (Shekinah) that surrounds God anyway?
researcher said:Huh, that's pretty cool.
I checked the Analytical Literal Version and it says:
Rev 6:2 And look! A white horse, and the one sitting on it having a bow,
and a victor's wreath was given to him, and he went out conquering, and so that he should conquer.
Why was a victor's wreath given to him? What did he have victory over? :o :P
Rev 14:14 And I saw. And look! A white cloud, and sitting on the cloud [One] like [the] Son of Humanity, having a golden victor's wreath on His head, and a sharp sickle in His hand.
:P
