Who is the rider on the white horse in Revelation 6?

The rider on the white horse in Revelation 6 is the false Christ, not Jesus. Although some assume the white horse symbolizes Jesus, this first seal reveals Satan as the Master Counterfeiter, who has counterfeited God's program since Genesis chapter 3. So it represents the false Christ's deceptive appearance.

Les teaches that the first seal of the scroll, which contains the mortgage Satan holds over the planet because of the curse, is removed, and a white horse appears. Many people think a white horse must be Jesus, but Les is convinced it is the false Christ. He traces this back to Genesis chapter 3, where as soon as man entered the scene, Satan came in as the Master Counterfeiter. Thus the rider is Satan's counterfeit Christ, not the true Christ.
