Revelation 6:1-2 (NKJV)

1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.”

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.

Verse 1 Specifics:

The Lamb opened one of the seals

The Lamb, Christ, takes the book out of the right hand of God who sits on the throne, and breaks the seven seals one at a time, revealing the contents of each seal (Rev. 5:7; 6:1-17; 8:1). Then He gives the opened book to John to eat, revealing the contents written within (Rev. 10:1-11).

heard

Found 33 times in Revelation; hear 7 times; and heareth 2 Times.

thunder

Found 10 times in Revelation.

Come and see

The word “come” in Rev. 6:1,3,5,7 addresses the five horsemen, not John.

Many texts omit the words “and see” in these verses, for John is already present and looking at every scene.

Verse 2 Specifics:

a white horse: and he that sat on him

Antichrist–White Horse Rider

This is not to be confused with the white horse rider of Rev. 19:11-21.

This one is symbolic; the other literal.

This one represents Antichrist; the other is Christ in person.

This one begins a series of terrible events on earth; the one in Rev. 19:11-21 ends these events.

Furthermore, this white horse rider is not a symbol of a great revival of the Word of God, as some teach from Hab. 3:8-9, which is in the past tense and refers to God leading Israel out of Egypt.

This rider is future and will be the first of 62 post-rapture events of Daniel’s 70th week.
