GOD's SURE PROPHECY
Below is an actual page from the e-Book The Tribulation
The Tribulation Seals
SEAL 1
THE ANTICHRIST: And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.' Revelation 6:2
This rider was identified in our treatment of Daniel’s prophecy of "seventy weeks" in PART 1, Daniel’s Tribulation. He is Daniel’s prince that shall come and Paul’s man of sin...the son of perdition. He is the ultimate false Christ who Jesus alluded to in His prophecy. This rider gallops into the world scene from virtual obscurity to gain international stature. He will conquer the people politically by brokering peace with Israel and by solving global problems.
A little later John portrays this rider as a ferocious beast in Revelation 13. He will arrive on the scene as a very capable humanitarian leader (seal 1) but will become as a wild beast (the Antichrist) half way into the tribulation period. King Solomon wrote of such animalistic rulers: As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. Proverbs 28:15
Many ego-crazed leaders have imagined themselves as a god but God views them as animals. That is the reason for the four world kingdoms being pictured as four wild beasts in Daniel’s vision in Daniel Chapter 7. For the same reason John saw the final world kingdom (the revived Roman Empire) emerge from the sea as a bizarre beast in Revelation 13.
The rider of the first seal is often confused with the rider on a white horse in Revelation 19. Even a casual comparison of the two riders easily shows different persons. Here is a helpful way to distinguish these two riders. The rider in seal 1 (the Antichrist) begins the tribulation period while the rider in Revelation 19 (Jesus Christ) brings an end to the the tribulation and the Antichrist. (Revelation 19:20)
