Someone recently wrote my sharing with me a prophecy revealing that the white horse in Revelation chapter 6:2 is the anti-Christ. After praying about it for a few days, here is my answer.
Sorry I was not able to answer your note sooner. But over the weekend when I had more time your note kept coming to mind. Finally, when praying about the prophecy that the white horse in Revelations 6:2 is the anti-Christ, and restudying Revelations 6 and 19, the verse that came to me was from II Timothy 4:3. "The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine,... and shall turn away their ears from the truth."
The unscriptural pre-tribulation doctrine came in a revelation of prophecy to a person in Scotland around 1830´s. So a revelation in prophecy is not a sufficient means of finding true doctrine. It must be confirmed by a careful study of the Word itself. The Word is our true measuring stick and standard and guide. I have seen this doctrine of the white horse being the AC promoted in some evangelical literature, so it is not new in itself. The prophecy you sent me does not convince me that the view our fellowship has traditionally advocated is wrong.
In Revelations 6 we see the white horse going forth to conquer with a crown on his head. In Revelations 19 the white horse´s rider has crowns upon his head. He is more easily identified as Jesus because of the other descriptions added, The King of Kings and Lord of Lords, The Word of God, Faithful and True. (Revelations 19:11,13,16.) Maybe those crowns he is wearing are those of kingdoms which have accepted and received His kingship since he went forth to conquer after His resurrection.
The white horse is still continuing to go forth and is still conquering. That is why Christianity is making such headway in places like China and Africa, in spite of the red, black and grizzly grey horses and their devilry. Sorry, you will have to convince me with Scripture, line upon line, here a little, there a little, and not just a prophecy from someone you know of influence.
Thank you for sharing your question with me. Pick up your Bible and study, for in it you think you have eternal life. If there is some Bible study to go with the prophecy, I would be interested in studying it. Thanks.
