The FIRST SEAL: The Antichrist

Revelation 6:2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

The rider of this first white horse in Revelation 6:2 is the Antichrist, an imitation of the “faithful and true“ Christ of Revelation 19.

Revelation 19:11-13 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.


Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and power was given him over all kindreds, and tonques, and nations.

Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

In the book of Daniel, it is said that "his power shall be might... that he shall “destroy wonderfully" (Dan. 8. 24) and that "he shall stretch forth his hand upon the countries" (Daniel 11:36, 42).

The “beginning of sorrows” begins when the first rider on the white horse (THE Antichrist) appears. This Antichrist is the the one who will make war with the saints to overcome them, because IT WAS GIVEN TO HIM to wear the crown to deceive to go forth and overcome (all people/nations and tribes).
Matthew 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

The SECOND SEAL: War

Revelation 6:3 And when He had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, “Come and see. “

Revelation 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

Matthew 24:6-7 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.


The first rider, or Antichrist, comes in peaceably; this is how he is able to come/enter/rise undetected and “destroy wonderfully,” and his hand will stretch forth (universal dominance) upon the countries—the whole earth.

*Notice hoe the seals match up with the Olivet Prophecy of Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.
