First horseman




Revelation 6: 1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

Notes from this verse: " His method of conquest does not seem to include open warfare, since peace is not removed from the earth until the second seal is opened (verse 3). This corresponds to the discription of delusion in 1 Thessalonians 5:3"

3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
