• APO009 The First Seal, the First Horseman

    APO009 analyzes the first seal of Revelation (Rev 6.1-2) and the appearance of a rider on a white horse. Two theories compete: does this rider represent the victorious Messiah Jesus, or an impostor, even the Antichrist? The article sets out both positions, stresses that the exegetical debate remains open, and announces a parallel with Jesus’ discourse on the Mount of Olives.

    Revelation 6.1-2 (King James Version) :
    And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
