What does the first horseman with the bow and no arrows in Revelation 6 represent?
The first horseman with a bow and no arrows represents the wars and rumors of wars Jesus spoke of, coming to take peace from the earth. He is distinct from the red horse, which represents actual war in Revelation chapter 6.
Les explains that the first horse in Revelation 6 appears with a bow and no arrows, and its rider comes to take peace from the earth. That symbolizes the wars and rumors of wars Jesus described. The next horseman, the red horse, is associated with actual war. The pale horse indicates famine, inflation, food rationing, and massive destruction, along with earthquakes in diverse places. Les notes earthquakes have greatly increased since around 1970, matching what Jesus was talking about.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
