What does the white horse in Revelation 6 represent?
The white horse in Revelation 6 represents the appearance of the Antichrist. He comes on the scene as a deceptive person, promising everything the world wants, but will soon become the very emissary of Satan himself. This parallels Jesus' warning in Matthew 24 about many coming in His name and deceiving many.
Les explains that the white horse in Revelation 6 is the appearance of the Antichrist. In Matthew 24, Jesus gives a discourse describing the seven-year tribulation period, and there is a direct parallel with Revelation chapter 6. The first thing Jesus mentions is that many will come in His name, saying, "I am the Christ," and they shall deceive many. Les says that is exactly what the Antichrist will do: he will come on the scene as a deceptive person, promising everything the world wants, but he will soon become the very emissary of Satan himself. The next horse, the red horse, corresponds to wars and rumors of wars, when nation rises against nation and kingdom against kingdom.
