What is the white horse rider of Revelation 6:2 in the end-times timeline?
The white horse rider of Revelation 6:2 represents the first seal, occurring at the very opening of the Tribulation and the beginning of the seven-year period. He is a counterfeit of the genuine white horse rider who appears later in Revelation 19 after the seven years have run their course.
Les teaches that the white horse in Revelation 6:2 is a counterfeit, a counterfeit of the original, of the real one. It is the first seal, or the very opening of the Tribulation, of the seven years. Then in Revelation chapter 19, after the seven years have run their course, the genuine article appears. Les also uses the Treasury Department illustration: counterfeit experts study legitimate bills until they can recognize one false mark, and believers must similarly know Scripture so they are not taken in by false teaching.
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
