The White Horse

Rev 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.

There has been much speculation as to what this rider on a white horse represents.  Some have said Jesus, others have said the anti-Christ.  In my books I said it was God's messenger.

However, in recent days I have landed on another idea.  I have come to the conclusion that this rider represents the push toward world domination.  Here's why:

The number four in the Bible represents the earth.  Four corners, four directions, four winds, etc

Rev 7:1

After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree.

Therefore, we need to consider these four horsemen within the same context, as effecting the entire earth.

Also consider the scope of the book of Revelation.  It's not about a single country here or there.  It's about events coming to the entire world.

The white horse and it's rider represent a quest for world domination.

That the rider is given a crown denotes that God is allowing these events, leading to world domination, to now take place on a global scale.

That the riders to follow include great bloodshed, famine and death represent in their fullness, the ultimate outcome, on a global scale, of man going his own way, apart from God.  "Do what thou wilt" is the slogan of Satanists.

Consider the fact that Peter Thiel has been teaching about the Anti-Christ.

Thiel has previously written and lectured on the subject, arguing that the Antichrist is not necessarily a person but could come as a global government system.

Also consider how Swedenborg explained the White Horse:

"That the white horse is the understanding of the Word as to its interiors, or what is the same, the internal sense of the Word, is evident from the signification of a horse, as being the intellectual faculty. In the prophetic parts of the Word a horse and a rider are often named; but no one has hitherto known that a horse signifies the faculty of understanding, and a rider one who is intelligent..."

I don't see the white horse so much as a singular event or person, but as a confluence of manipulated world-scale actions inacted for the purpose of world domination by a select few.  We are currently in the midst of this right now, in my opinion.
