Special Dossier: DEATH: The Death


Horse: White
Horse Represents: Death
Rider: Carries a bow
Power: Conquest
Rider Represents: Conquest (in general), the Antichrist, the word of God, or Christ's second coming.

The first horseman of the apocalypse is mentioned in Revelation 6:2, "I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest." This first horseman likely refers to the antichrist, who will be given authority and will conquer all who oppose him. The antichrist is the false imitator of the true Christ, as He will return on a white horse (Revelation 19:11-16).
