The Rider on the White Horse
11I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter."[a] He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Relax.
God will never take the life of anyone He didn't give life to.
If He takes what is His, how is that wrong?

No. Why would he do that?

When Christ comes, the people will be judged according to how they treated each other. When the world’s religious leaders teach their followers to do anything other than “do unto another as you would want done unto you,” they “hurt” the word of God by “trampling it under foot.” When the scriptures are revealed in their purity, especially the words Christ spoke, these leaders and those who have changed and corrupted the word of God, will be figuratively “killed” by the sharp sword coming out of the mouth of Christ.

Christ’s mission is to wield the sword of truth and cut asunder all the falsehoods of the world—which create inequality and inhibit the happiness of humankind. The “war” he “makes” is truth and righteousness (“Faithful and True”) against falsehoods and injustice. He rides a “white horse” because the earth is returned to the state it was when humankind began its existence in peace and purity as explained in the commentary of Revelation, chapter 6, regarding the “rider” upon a “white horse.”

...A “flame” is the light produced by fire. Because of his knowledge (“fire”), Christ sees things (“his eyes”) with an eternal perspective, which always guides his actions, or in other words, is the light by which he sees. The authority and power (“many crowns”) is given to Christ to do what needs to be done in this solar system. Our “name” is expressed symbolically as our works “which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it” (see Revelation 2:17). Christ has and will accomplish works (“a name written”) that no other human being has done, is doing, or will ever do in this solar system.

If you want to understand more, you can read the book that this answer comes from. It is free from the site below, and is the most amazing book I have ever read on the subject. It puts all others explanations ever given of the book of Revelation to open shame.

Silly Christians always want to make Jesus all hippie or "warm & fuzzy".

But instead of listening to them, shouldn't we hear what their founder, Jesus, actually has to say?

Matthew 10:34
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."

Now since he didn't use the sword the first time he was here, that makes it fairly obvious he intends to use it the second time.

In Islam it's mentioned in the Holy Qur'an that Jesus peace be upon him will be back and will defeat his enemies. He will also personally kill one very big enemy of humanity with the grace of god

No that is not what is says.
He will defeat his enemies with the word of God.
Every Knee shall bow, and tongue confess that he is Lord, according to the scriptures.

You're referring to the Tribulation, dear one. And there's no "s" in Revelation. Read the Book. ;-)
