Question

Answer is found in the King James Bible in the book of Revelation.

Answer 1

Some one who will bring peace to the world, but it is not Jesus.
And this peace will only last a short time.

Answer 2

Rev 6:2 - And I saw, and behold a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow - This colour, and the bow shooting arrows afar off, betoken victory, triumph, prosperity, enlargement of empire, and dominion over many people.

Another horseman, indeed, and of quite another kind, appears on a white horse, Rev_19:11. But he that is spoken of under the first seal must be so understood as to bear a proportion to the horsemen in the second, third, and fourth seal.

Nerva succeeded the emperor Domitian at the very time when the Revelation was written, in the year of our Lord 96. He reigned scarce a year alone; and three months before his death he named Trajan for his colleague and successor, and died in the year 98. Trajan's accession to the empire seems to be the dawning of the seven seals. And a crown was given him - This, considering his descent, Trajan could have no hope of attaining. But God gave it him by the hand of Nerva; and then the east soon felt his power. And he went forth conquering and to conquer - That is, from one victory to another. In the year 108 the already victorious Trajan went forth toward the east, to conquer not only Armenia, Assyria, and Mesopotamia, but also the countries beyond the Tigris, carrying the bounds of the Roman empire to a far greater extent than ever. We find no emperor like him for making conquests. He aimed at nothing else; he lived only to conquer. Meantime, in him was eminently fulfilled what had been prophesied of the fourth empire, Dan_2:40, Dan_7:23, that he should "devour, tread down, and break in pieces the whole earth."-webster





Rev 19:11 - And I saw the heaven opened - This is a new and peculiar opening of it, in order to show the magnificent expedition of Christ and his attendants, against his great adversary. And behold a white horse - Many little regarded Christ, when he came meek, "riding upon an ***;" but what will they say, when he goes forth upon his white horse, with the sword of his mouth? White - Such as generals use in solemn triumph. And he that sitteth on him, called Faithful - In performing all his promises. And True - In executing all his threatenings. And in righteousness - With the utmost justice. He judgeth and maketh war - Often the sentence and execution go together.

Answer 3

Many sense that it extremely is the Antichrist. yet in God's be conscious the Bible, there are various antichrists, modern-day even interior the 1st century while the apostle John wrote approximately them. some people do sense that there is one particular antichrist accessible; charismatic and effectual. yet this rider is on a white horse. In scripture, white is often synonymous with righteousness and purity. study please, Revelation 19:11 the place we study of a rider on a white horse. This rider is named committed and genuine, donning on conflict in righteousness. extra description makes it obtrusive that this one is Christ Jesus in his heavenly place. Verse 14 comments that he leads the armies of heaven, who're all using white horses, clothed in white sparkling superb linen. Verse 15 describes him as having an prolonged sword protruding from his mouth which he makes use of to strike the countries and then shepherd them with a rod of iron. The rider in Revelation 6:2 is none different than Christ Jesus on a experience which will culminate in his conquest. Hannah J Paul

Answer 4

I am debating this with my brother. I too believe it's Christ. He says its the Anti Christ.

Ch 6 (20) The white horse symbolizes Christ and the victory of his word

Ch 19 (11-14) "He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True"..........he has a name written which no man knows except himself.......He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood and his name is called "The Word of God".............armies of heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses.

Ch 19 (21) The rest were killed with the sword of him who sits upon the horse.


The Holy Bible Douay-Rheims Version

With Challoner Revisions 1749-52
1899 Edition of the John Murphy Company

IMPRIMATUR:
James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, September 1, 1899.

Pope Damasus assembled the first list of books of the Bible at the Roman Council in 382 A.D. He commissioned St. Jerome to translate the original Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin, which became known as the Latin Vulgate Bible and was declared by the Church to be the only authentic and official version, in 1546.

The DR New Testament was first published by the English College at Rheims in 1582 A.D. The DR Old Testament was first published by the English College at Douay in 1609 A.D. The first King James Version was not published until 1611. This online DRV contains all 73 books, including the seven Deutero-Canonical books (erroneously called Apocrypha by Protestants). These seven books were included in the 1611 KJV, but not in later KJV Bibles.

The whole Douay-Rheims Bible was revised and diligently compared with the Latin Vulgate by Bishop Richard Challoner in 1749-1752 A.D. The notes included in the text were written by Dr. Challoner.

The DR Bible was photographically reproduced from the 1899 edition of the John Murphy Company, Baltimore, Maryland, by Tan Books in 1971. Eventually, this edition was optically scanned to produce a large text file which this publisher used for creating this website, with the aid of text-processing software.

One important goal of this project was to preserve the original text "as is", without making any changes in the wording, because the original text had the Imprimatur of James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, dated Sept 1st 1899.

The text file was checked quite thoroughly by software written by the publisher for punctuation errors and verses out of order. The index was humanly checked for misspelled words and the corrections were made to the text. However, some spelling errors may still be present in the text. Many verses were out of order in the original file. These have been corrected.

Every effort was made to ensure that this online version is an exact match to the original printed version. No words were added or ommitted from the text, except for correcting errors caused by the scanning process. No words were rearranged. No verse numbers were changed, except in the case of Psalm 9.

Psalm 9 originally contained 21 verses and there were 2 versions of Psalm 10, numbering 1-18 and 1-8. This obviously caused a conflict, so it was decided to make the first Psalm 10 as the last part of Psalm 9 and renumber the verses 22-39. This retains the same numbering as all the Douay Rheims. Note, in the Protestant Bibles the numbering of Psalms 10 through 146 differs by one.

Answer 5

The first rider is the Anti Christ who will rise up somewhere in Eastern Europe and rule the entire world. His mission will be to decieve the people left on Earth and many will believe him because he will promise to bring peace to a troubled world. He will make his followers take the mark of the beast(666) on the right hand or forehead in order to buy or sell things you need that mark. By the way he will be killed later on only to be ressurected by Lucifer and indwelt by Lucifer himself.

Answer 7
