The white horse in Revelation 19 represents the genuine return of Jesus Christ, called Faithful and True.
Les Feldick teaches that this is the real Christ in contrast to the counterfeit white horse rider of Revelation 6. The rider is explicitly named Faithful and True and the Word of God, and He comes in righteousness to judge and make war at Armageddon.
Revelation 19:11 — John sees heaven opened and a white horse whose rider is called Faithful and True, directly identifying the white horse rider as Christ.
Revelation 19:13 — The rider's name is called The Word of God, confirming the divine identity of the one on the white horse.
Revelation 6:2 — This earlier white horse rider is unnamed and is the counterfeit that Les contrasts with the genuine white horse of Revelation 19.
Revelation 19:11-14 (KJV): "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. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean." Earlier, Revelation 6:2 (KJV) describes a different white horse: "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." Scripture itself does not name this earlier rider, while in Revelation 19:13 the rider is explicitly called The Word of God.
Les Feldick teaches that the white horse in Revelation 19 is the genuine, real appearance of Christ at His return. He points out that the rider is called Faithful and True and says, "It's the Christ" (Clip 3). Unlike the white horse in Revelation 6, which Les calls "the fake Christ, the counterfeit Christ, the Antichrist," the Revelation 19 rider is "the real thing" (Clip 2). Les emphasizes the contrast by explaining that Satan is "the Master Counterfeiter" whose imitation is so close to the original that only an expert can tell the difference (Clip 0). At Revelation 19, however, there is no ambiguity: heaven opens and Christ Himself comes on the white horse to judge and make war in righteousness against the armies gathered at Armageddon (Clips 1, 3, 6). Regarding the "vesture dipped in blood," Les gives two related observations in the clips. In Clip 2 he says, "I think, is the reference to His own blood, the shed blood of Calvary." In Clip 5 he connects the blood-stained clothing to Christ having trampled the grape vat of God's wrath. He also teaches that the sword from Christ's mouth is symbolic, not a literal iron sword, because Hebrews 4:12 uses the sword as a figure of the Word of God (Clip 7).
Les Feldick teaches that the white horse in Revelation 6 is the false Christ, not Jesus, because Satan is a Master Counterfeiter (Clip 0). The Revelation 19 white horse, by contrast, carries the One "called Faithful and True" who "doth judge and make war" in righteousness (Clip 1). In Clip 2 he says plainly: "that white horse was the fake Christ, the counterfeit Christ, the Antichrist. But here we've got the truth. This is the real thing." Thus the two white horses represent a counterfeit followed by the genuine return of Christ.
In Revelation 19:11 the rider is called Faithful and True; in verse 13 His name is called The Word of God. Les draws attention to the capital letters in the text: "now watch, they're capitalized... it's the Christ" (Clip 3). For Les, these names make the rider's identity unmistakable—this is Christ Himself, not an angel or a symbol (Clips 1, 3).
Les places this event at the return of Christ at Armageddon, when the nations of the world have gathered against Jerusalem and Israel (Clips 3, 6). It is a time of tremendous judgment and wrath poured out on the planet (Clip 5). The rider comes in righteousness to judge and make war against those armies.
Les Feldick cautions readers not to picture an iron Roman sword between Christ's teeth. He says Revelation always uses symbolic language, but every symbolism has a literal truth, and he takes the reader to Hebrews 4:12 where the Word of God is "sharper than any twoedged sword" (Clip 7). The sword, then, represents the Word of God coming in judgment.
The First White Horse Is the Counterfeit
Les identifies the Revelation 6 white horse rider as the false Christ, because Satan is the Master Counterfeiter who imitates the original so well that people are deceived.
Christ on the White Horse in Revelation 19
Les quotes Revelation 19:11-14 and identifies the rider on the white horse as Christ, called Faithful and True, who judges and makes war.
The Real Christ Versus the Counterfeit
Les contrasts the fake Christ of Revelation 6 with the real thing in Revelation 19, and offers his initial thought that the blood-dipped vesture may refer to Christ's own shed blood at Calvary.
Faithful and True Judges and Makes War on the Nations
Les shows that the capitalized names Faithful and True prove the rider is Christ, and that He judges and makes war against the world's armies gathered in the wine vat of wrath.
Noah’s Ark: How Did All the Animals Fit? (Genesis 6-7)
Now let's go to chapter 19, Revelation chapter 19, beginning of verse 11. Revelation 19, verse 11, "...and I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And he that sat upon him was called," now watch, they're capitalized, "...faithful and true," it's the Christ, "...in righteousness he doth judge and make," what? War, because after all, what kind of people has He got in the wine vat? Military.
The Return of Christ in Judgment on the White Horse
Les presents Revelation 19:11-14 as the account of Christ's return, with wrath poured out on the planet and the armies of heaven following Him on white horses.
Penetrating Eyes of Fire at Armageddon
Les explains that Christ's eyes at the white horse return are like flames of fire, so penetrating that nothing can be hidden from them.
The Sword Is Symbolic, Not Literal Iron
Les warns against picturing a literal iron sword in Christ's mouth and uses Hebrews 4:12 to show the sword symbolizes the Word of God.
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.
This verse is the direct answer to the question, identifying the white horse rider as Faithful and True.
Revelation 19:12: His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
The penetrating eyes and many crowns add to the description of the divine rider on the white horse.
Revelation 19:13: And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
This verse explicitly names the white horse rider as The Word of God, confirming His identity as Christ.
Revelation 19:14: And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
This describes those who accompany Christ when He rides on the white horse.
Revelation 6:2: 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.
This earlier white horse rider is the counterfeit that Les contrasts with the true Christ of Revelation 19.
Hebrews 4:12: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Les uses this verse to explain that the sword from Christ's mouth is symbolic of the Word of God, not a literal iron sword.
No. Les Feldick teaches that Revelation 6's rider is the Antichrist, a counterfeit, while Revelation 19's rider is Christ, called Faithful and True. The Revelation 19 horse is the real thing.
Jesus Christ. The rider is called Faithful and True and The Word of God, and He judges and makes war in righteousness.
The armies which are in heaven follow Him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Les quotes this verse in the clips, and the armies are those accompanying Christ at His return.
Les makes two related observations in the provided clips. In one clip he says he thinks the vesture dipped in blood refers to His own shed blood at Calvary; in another he connects the blood-stained garment to Christ having trampled the grape vat of God's wrath.
