Revelation 6:2 - “And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.”
“bow” - “toxon - a bow.. from the base of tikto; a bow (apparently as the simplest fabric).. tiktó: to beget, bring forth ... to bring forth, bear, produce (fruit from the seed); properly, of women giving birth” - reminds me of Revelation 12:1 and Galatians where Paul calls Jesus THE seed.. (tikti cont.) “who draws out at length the comparison of the earth to a mother” but there’s the gnostic one! The foggy ghost.. rides with the real one (throughout the age). Tikto - “from a prim. root tek-“ ...There was no link to tek, and I’ve already gone further than I intended. (Lol)
The fourth Seal broken open on the Revelation scroll is called the pale rider (of pestilence).. Have we seen this rider in the past? There were some HUGE ones. So how can we say this rider rides only during a span of seven years? [Seven years is the treaty/covenant/league.. the one that gets broken with Israel. Dn.12:11; Mt.24:1-2]
Back to Seal one (One)
The Rev.19’s rider on a white horse is a flashback to Seal 1’s beginning. A condensing of the middle. And a description of its end.
“And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.” Rev.6:2
Colossians 2:15 - (Jesus) “having overcome all powers and principalities, openly triumphed over them” (when He conquered death).
Colossians 1:6 - “All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood the grace of God.”
The Gospel “good news to all” went forth conquering! And to conquer! Is still riding..
Next short study “crown” in this verse (Rev.6:2, first Seal).
