Some Disputations of Mine with Some Credible Commentators on the Four Horsemen

By -
I was just thinking on that while commentaries of true Christian men can be credible, however they can have their own errors. I may be consulting insights from the Geneva Study Bible of the late John Calvin or the Matthew Henry Commentary (while learning more on how old English operates aside from just reading my King James Bible translation) but I just can't find myself agreeing on the view of the four horsemen as righteous but rather, these are portrayed to be wickedness that God has used to judge the Earth. In fact, the disputation of the identity of the rider of the white horse in Revelation 6 is argued to be whether or not it is the Lord Jesus Christ or the Antichrist.

Here's my stand why I believe that the rider on the white horse is not the Lord Jesus Christ in Revelation 6:2 in contrast to Revelation 19:1 2:
  • The rider of the white horse in Revelation 6 has only one crown, Jesus has many crowns. Do note that this person goes down during the Tribulation period.
  • The rider of the white horse in Revelation 6 has a bow (but apparently without arrows) while Jesus has a sword. This may also symbolize false peace.
  • The rider on the white horse doesn't have the title while the Lord Jesus Christ is called "King of Kings and Lord of Lords".
  • Overall, quite a contrast that some of the early Reformers may have failed to see. Even some credible preachers like Spurgeon held a different view from the later preaching of the Gospel though both had the common ground of right repentance.

Also here's an excerpt from Pastor John MacArthur's "Jet Tour Through Revelation" to which like me, he disagrees with the idea that the first rider among the four horsemen is the Lord Jesus Christ:
Who is this on the white horse? He is a conqueror who doesn't need to use a bow and arrow because he didn't have to make war. His is a peaceful conquering. The Tribulation period on Earth begins then with a false peace energized by the Antichrist. You can compare these verses with Daniel 9:27. He makes a pact with the people of God and sets up a false peace. So he is a false Christ bringing what looks like peace. But it doesn't last long because the second seal is broken open in verse 4 and another horseman is revealed- only this one is red.

Looking at it also the characteristics of the other four horsemen happen to be War, Famine and Death... the seals are released to reveal what evil He would allow roaming the Earth to fulfill His purpose against rebellious man. Obviously, the other three Horsemen are obviously evil, yet God has released them for a purpose like why He allows Satan to roam the Earth and evil to prosper until He decides to shut them down and throw them into Hell like when He decides to shut down His servant to take them home.

It looks like that the second horseman could represent Islam, the religion with the sword and war. Why I believe the second horseman is Islam and not Communism is this- it is Islam that has recently been taking the peace away from the Earth while Communism uses subtle tactics and infiltration to take over the world. Islam teaches the spread of religion BY FORCE as evidenced by these verses from an English copy of a Koran that claims that Islam does not teach violence (but the Koran says OTHERWISE and Allah who is "merciful" leaves people to work for their salvation):
  • Surah 2:191 says, "And SLAY THEM (the aggressors against whom fighting is made incumbent) when and where you get the better of them in disciplinary way and turn them out whence they have turned you out. Killing is bad but lawlessness is even worse than carnage. But do not fight them in the precincts of Masjid al-Haram unless they fight you therein. Should they attack you there then slay them. This indeed is the recompense of such disbelievers."
    • Side comment: Hmmm? Slay them? While the previous verse says Allah does not love aggressors YET Islamic conquests by Muhammad have harmed SEVERAL innocent people. These "aggressors" are none other than those who refuse to convert to Islam.
  • Surah 9:29 says, "Fight against such people of who despite having been given the Scripture do not really believe in Allah and the Last Day and who do not hold unlawful what Allah and his messenger have declared to be unlawful whatand do not subscribe to the true faith until the pay the Jizyah (commutation tax) provided they can afford it and they are content with their state of subjection."

The Jesuit-controlled Illuminati in itself is arranging corrupt government officials to destroy the economies, control the fuel supply, and not to mention the two major world wars as revealed, were both Jesuit engineered. Then Death comes as a result of these.
