When does the genuine white horse rider appear in Revelation?
According to Revelation, the genuine white horse rider appears in chapter 19, after the seven-year Tribulation has run its course. This contrasts with the counterfeit white horse of chapter 6 verse 2, which is the first seal at the very opening of the Tribulation.
Les teaches that the white horse in Revelation 6:2 is a counterfeit, the first seal at the very opening of the Tribulation, the seven years. He uses the illustration that a Master Counterfeiter is so like the original that only an expert can tell the difference, and that Treasury workers study legitimate bills to recognize counterfeits. In the same way, we must be aware of what Scripture says. Then in Revelation 19, after the seven years have run their course, the genuine article appears.
