1 THEN I saw as the Lamb broke open one of the seven seals, and as if in a voice of thunder I heard one of the four living creatures call out, Come!
2 And I looked, and saw there a white horse whose rider carried a bow. And a crown was given him, and he rode forth conquering and to conquer.
In the Bible a horse is often used by our Father in prophesy to show power and great strength for battle. Job 39:19, Psalm 137:10. Jesus shows John here that this rider has been given great power by our Father; power to conquer. Jesus also shows John that he has been given a bow to do it with. A bow is a weapon that is used to wage war from a distance, and as we will study, all of the plagues, wars, and catastrophes in the Book of Revelation are first ordered and released from Heaven. Not until Jesus returns to the earth do we see that our Father has Him use a sword, the weapon of close range warfare, Revelation 19:5.
A crown is used in prophesy to represent a ruler or kingship. Now I want you to take notice that this horseman is the only one of the four Apocalyptic Horsemen in the Book of Revelation that has been given a crown. We will study about three other Riders, but we are never told that the other three are given crowns. This Rider is given his power from our Father in Heaven to conquer and He has been given a crown. Our Father allows this ruler to successfully conquer nations from afar. His authority to rule is solely given by our Father and his power to conquer is solely given to him by our Father. He was given all of this power and ability to carry out our Father’s wrath on His disobedient children. Ask yourself this, does a loving father seek revenge and destruction or does he seek the correction of his children?
I find it really powerful that the color of the horse that this Rider is given is white. White in prophesy represents purity. We don’t often think of conquerors as being pure, but this Rider’s horse, or his power to wage war, is pure. This shows us that our Father is in total control of the conquering and His judgments are righteous and they are true! Are you seeing anything developing here with the definition of this Rider? Who is now the King of Kings and Lord of Lord’s, 1 Timothy 6:15? Who is now more than a conqueror, Romans 8:37? (This verse tells us that we are more than conquerors, but we are, only because Jesus is!) Who has now had all things placed under His feet, Ephesians 1:22? Who now holds the keys of death and Hades, Revelation 1:18? And Who rides on a white horse in Revelation 19:11? The answer to all of the questions is Jesus and only Jesus!
Who better than Jesus to go and rage righteous and pure warfare on the disobedient? Who has our Father placed in charge of His judgments? Jesus is the One Who has been raised up to sit in complete power in Heavenly places.
And in Your majesty ride on triumphantly for the cause of truth, humility, and righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God); and let Your right hand guide You to tremendous things. Your arrows are sharp; the peoples fall under You; Your darts pierce the hearts of the King's enemies. Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You love righteousness, uprightness, and right standing with God and hate wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your fellows. Psalm 45:4-7
The First Horseman has a crown, because the first Horseman is Jesus! Jesus begins to pour out our Father’s wrath from Heaven, or in other word’s our Father’s correction. He has not returned to the earth when He begins to pour out our Father’s wrath. We know this because the seventh Trumpet, the final trumpet, has not yet sounded.
The great peace for us in knowing this Truth, is that our Father is in total control of His wrath and He is pouring it out through our Lord and our Friend, Jesus, John 15:15. So why would we need raptured from the wrath of our Father, when the Rider of the White Horse, is our Lord and Savior, Who is also our Groom? Jesus’ Blood has been applied to our lives and just as it was with the Israelites in Egypt, the wrath of our Father will pass us by! We are now being shown the Great Tribulation, finally after 5 chapters and the first thing that we are shown about the end times is that Jesus is in control of everything happening!
But [you were purchased] with the precious blood of Christ (the Messiah), like that of a [sacrificial] lamb without blemish or spot. 1 Peter 1:19

In the Spirit of Prophecy, I relate as revealed in the last book of the Bible, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, the sovereign Lord God, began establishing a new order consisting of fifteen New Things in Christ, on October 23, 2013, by releasing the First Horseman of The Apocalypse, Revelation 6:1-2, The Rider on the White Horse. The New Things of Christ are presented in the Dispensation Economics Manifest, which is based upon Ephesians 1:10, the biblical revelation that Jesus Christ is operating in dispensation, that is the household management plan of God to mature, complete and fulfill a paradigm of all things in every age.
Corollary #1 from the Dispensation Economics Manifest, presents that on October 23, 2013, the Rider on the White Horse, enabled the bond vigilantes to call the Interest Rate on the US Ten Year Note, ^TNX, termed the “Means of Economic Destructionism,” higher from 2.48%, and thus PIVOTED the world out of the paradigm and age of liberalism to that of authoritarianism.
Investment charts show the bond vigilantes in calling the Benchmark Interest Rate, ^TNX, higher from 2.48%, on October 23, 2013, produced an” extinction event”, that caused the death of fiat money: Aggregate Credit, AGG, Major World Currencies, DBV, and Emerging Market Currencies, CEW, traded lower in value.
As a result “money good” investments in the Emerging Markets, EEM, such as Brazil, EWZ, EWZS, Indonesia, IDX, IDXJ, Thailand, THD, and the Philippines, EPHE, as is seen in their ongoing Yahoo Finance Chart, started to fail. Investors have increasingly become convinced that the monetary policies of the world central banks no longer stimulate global growth and trade, and ongoing strong levels of corporate profitability.
As a result, liberalism’s dynamos of economic activity, creditism, corporatism and globalism, are winding down.
Beginning in 2014, investors will take profits from five years of the swell in fiat wealth, and derisk out of debt trades, such as Blackstone, BX, and deleverage out of currency carry trades, such as the GBP/JPY, with the result that not only will fiat money continue to fail, but fiat wealth, consisting of World Stocks, VT, such as Prudential, PRU, Nation Investment, EFA, such as the UK, EWU, and global Financials Institutions, IXG, Lloyd Financial Group, LYG, will fail as well.
Under authoritarianism, the singular dynamo of regionalism, authoritarianism's fathers will power up policies of regional governance and schemes of totalitarian collectivism, to provide diktat money, such as statist public private partnerships overseeing commerce, trade and the factors of production, (think in terms of the Ukraine-Russia Deal where oligarchs and nannycrats rule), enforcing debt servitude, for debt serfs living in regional gulags of austerity.
