Revelation
6:1,2
6:1-2 (a) Now I saw when the
Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures
saying with (b) a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” And I looked, and
behold, (c) a white horse. (d) He who sat on it had (e) a bow; and (f) a
crown was given to him, and he went out (g) conquering and to conquer.
Revelation chapter 6 begins with the seals that represent the
beginning of Christ's judgment of unbelievers on the earth during the
Tribulation period.

Here, 1. Christ, the Lamb, opens the first seal he now enters upon
the great work of opening and accomplishing the purposes of God towards the
church and the world.
I. “And I
saw” : Is a common phrase in Revelation that introduces a shift in what
is seen.
II.
“Thunder”: Angel calling John. With a loud voice.
III. “White
horse”
Satan using
the Jesus title,
The "Light-Bearer"
Jesus
2 Peter 1:19 And we have something more sure,
the prophetic word, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp
shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your
hearts,
Revelation 22:16 "I, Jesus, have sent my
angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and
the descendant of David, the bright morning star."
Lucifer
Isaiah 14:12 "How you are fallen from
heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who
laid the nations low!
Throne
Jesus
Revelation chapter 4 & 5 , clearly
mentioning the God throne. How it is ?
in the same way
Satan
satan also rise his throne equivalent to
God’s throne
Isaiah 14:13 You said in your heart, 'I will
ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will
sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north;[1]
Enter into to
most high
Jesus
Ephesians 4:10 He who descended is the one
who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Satan
Isaiah 14:14 I will ascend above the heights
of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.'
Lion
Jesus
Revelation 5:5 And one of the elders said to
me, "Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so
that he can open the scroll and its seven seals."
Satan
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary
the devil prowls around like a roaring
lion, seeking someone to devour.
White horse
Jesus
Revelation 19:11 Then I saw heaven opened,
and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True,
and in righteousness he judges and makes war.
Satan
Revelation 6:2 And I looked, and behold, a
white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came
out conquering, and to conquer.
IV.
He who sat on it had
the “man of sin,” the “son of perdition” (2
Thessalonians 2:3),
(2njr 2:3) vt;tpjj;jpdhYk; xUtDk; cq;fis Nkhrk;Nghf;fhjgbf;F

2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one deceive you in
any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the
man of lawlessness[1] is revealed, the son of destruction,[2]
the “lawless one” (2 Thessalonians 2:9),
“Antimessiah” (1
John 2:18),
and the “beast” who rises out of the sea (13:1).
V. The
bow
Antimessiah’s
role as world conqueror during the first half of the Final Seven
Years. But notice that there is no mention of this conqueror having
arrows. Both Daniel and Revelation indicate that the evil prince who is to
come will conquer not by brute force.
Daniel tells us there is one who is coming who "by peace will
destroy many".
Dan
8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his
hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy
many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be
broken without hand.
VI. A
crown was given to him
His authority to rule is given to him by Satan (13:4).
This is another indication that this conqueror is not the Messiah;
the true Messiah has no need to be given the authority to rule the world, which
He, as Yahuah the Son, created (John 1:1-3).
Revelation
13:4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had
given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying,
"Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?"
Revelation
13:5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering
haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for
forty-two months.
VII. Conquering
and to conquer.
Antimessiah’s obsession is to conquer the world and fully
establish it as his kingdom in the place of the rightful King of Kings, as
Satan wanted to supplant Yahuah in Heaven (cf. Isaiah 14:13-14).
“Antimessiah” (1 John 4:3) in the Greek does not just mean “against the
Messiah,” it also means “in the place of the Messiah.” He is the false
messiah. The white horse and golden crown also seem to indicate that this
is not some dark, sinister-appearing figure, but is the counterfeit messiah
whom the whole world will follow and worship (13:3, 4).
Revelation
13:7 Also it was allowed to make war on the saints
and to conquer them.[1] And authority was given it over every tribe
and people and language and nation,
