Who is the rider on the white horse in Revelation 19:11?

The rider on the white horse in Revelation 19:11 is Christ, called Faithful and True. He rides in righteousness to judge and make war against the armies of the world gathered in the Middle East to annihilate Israel. The sovereign God has reaped the earth and placed them in His wine vat.

Les explains that Revelation 19:11 opens with heaven opened and a white horse. The rider is called Faithful and True, with capitalized titles, identifying Him as the Christ. He comes in righteousness to judge and make war. Les notes that the people in His wine vat are military—the armies of the world that have gathered to the Middle East, supposedly to annihilate Israel, including 200 million coming from the East. Millions will be packed into that small geographical area. He starts at Edom, east of the Dead Sea, pours out wrath on the congregated armies, comes from the southeast of Jerusalem with destruction, and includes every valley where troops are packed like sardines. Contrary to good military strategy, the sovereign God has reaped the earth and placed them in His wine vat, but it is in righteousness.

Revelation 19:11

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
