Revelation 6
1. We must keep in mind that Revelation 6 covers the entire New Testament period from the first coming of Christ to the second coming.
The rider on the white horse is our Lord Jesus Christ and his gospel movement (the first seal).
The rider on the red horse saw the death of the martyr who suffered sacrifice for the gospel witness in the midst of the war (second seal).
The rider on the black horse saw the ravages of economic poverty and poverty (the third seal).
The rider on the blue-yellow horse represented the ravages of death, war, famine, and disease (the fourth seal). And the glory of the spiritual world (heavenly) that the martyrs who preceded them plead (the fifth seal) and the situation of the Lord's second coming (the sixth seal).
The chapters of the book of Revelation always show progressive parallels. The repetition of the same event appears in the plagues of seals, trumpets, and bowls, and is gradually appearing darker, stronger, and more certain toward the end.
2. The rider on a white horse is always ahead and leading the history.
This shows that the gospel movement is always first, essential, and fundamental (Rev. 6:1-2). This is a crucial principle of the Old and New Testaments.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1) is the beginning of the Old Testament. “The world of Jesus Christ, the son of Abraham and David” (Matthew 1:1), this is the beginning of the New Testament.
After God's creative act preceded, the Old Testament gospel movement, which followed God's elect Abel, Seth, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, etc.
In the New Testament, after the resurrection of Jesus, the apostles, the fathers, reformers, and evangelists who followed him were always ahead of that age and threw the gospel toward the age of sin. In other words, it is the good deeds of the white horse rider.
3. Even in Revelation 6, Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega.
In Revelation 6:1, the rider on a white horse is Jesus Christ and his gospel movement. In Revelation 6:16, the victor is represented as a Lamb.
Truly, all things come from the Lord, and through Him all things return to Him. Therefore, glory must be given only to him throughout the ages (Romans 11:33-36).
