Title: Rider on a White Horse
2012. 9. 30 Sunday morning worship service
Bible: Revelation 6:1-2
Title: The White Horse Rider
The prophecy of the last days of Revelation is represented by the picture of the 7 men, the 7 trumpets, and the 7 bowls of calamity. 4 When the seal is opened, a person riding on four horses appears (Zechariah 6:1-). However, depending on how one interprets the first seal of Revelation 6:1,2, ‘the rider on the white horse’, the entire interpretation of the book of Revelation will vary.
Classification of the Book of Revelation
1) Introduction Chapter 1-5 Contents for preparing prophecy.
2) The actual content of the prophecy in chapters 6-18 of the main body.
3) Conclusion Chapters 19-22 This is the end of the fulfillment of the prophecy that will occur on earth and eternal life thereafter.
Will we broadly classify the interpretation of the rider on the white horse here and see it as Christ or the Gospel? Will you be seen as the antichrist? is a problem. The difference between these interpretations is even polarized, which we consider to be the limit of our wisdom.
The rider on the white horse is the Antichrist.
1) In context, it is Jesus Christ Himself who opens the first seal.
Revelation 5:5 "...the lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome, and will open the scroll and its seven seals." - Jesus is the one who will open the seals.
Revelation 6:1 “I saw the Lamb opening one of the seven seals, and at that time…”
2) The rider on a white horse had a bow, but Jesus had a sword (sword).
Revelation 1:16 “There were seven stars in his right hand, and out of his mouth a two-edged sword went out…” (Revelation 19:15)
3) Jesus is the one who gives us the crown
Revelation 2:10 “…Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.”
4) The original word for 'crown' is stevfano, and the victor's crown obtained by fighting, and the 'crown' that Jesus used in Revelation 19:12 is diademata.
5) The rider on the white horse keeps winning and trying to win, but Jesus is described as the one who has already overcome. He is a complete victor by his resurrection.
Revelation 5:5 "...the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome..."
The etymology of the word ‘victory’, ejnivkhsen, is nikavw’s fruit, skill, and indicative, meaning one who has already overcome.
John 16:33 “...in the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world”
6) In Revelation 13:5, ‘And the beast received loud words and blasphemous words, and authority was given to work for forty-two months’-42 months, 1260 days, a time, two times and a half times.
Dan 7:25 “He will speak words against the Most High... and the saints will be delivered into his hand for a time and times and half a time.”
Dan 9:27 "...and he made a covenant for one week, and in half the week he will forbid sacrifices and offerings... and wrath will be poured out on the desolators, until the end which has already been appointed."
If we see Revelation chapter 13 as the midpoint of the 7-year great tribulation, we must view it as an article of the great tribulation from chapter 6, when the book of revelation was opened. Therefore, the first seal must be the Antichrist.
7) In the Synoptic Gospels and other epistles it was foretold that the Antichrist would appear first.
Matthew 24:3-4 “...And what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world?” Jesus answered and said, “Be careful not to let anyone deceive you” (Luke 21:8-12; 2 Thessalonians 2:1). -4)
8) The place that shows the second coming of Jesus Christ is Revelation 19
Just by reading it, you can know that it is the Lord's Second Coming.
When the first seal is opened, the evidence supported by the evidence that the rider on a white horse is an antichrist is well illustrated when the second, third, and third seals are opened and the riders appear.
Even when we believe in God and receive salvation, we first know that we are sinners, and after a great spiritual revolution, we find our true self. Even when the gospel is preached in the world, the work of missions blossoms after conflict always occurs. . In the same way, in the last days of the last days, the antichrist will appear and severely torment the saints, and eventually, the beast, the antichrist, the false prophet, and the dragon, the devil, will be cast into the lake of hell fire at the second coming of Jesus Christ. is.
