Revelation 6:2
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.
It is usual in the prophets to signify great and wonderful transactions and dispensations of God, by warlike horses. \ So in this chapter. \ By this white horse we may understand the ministry of the gospel of peace and grace, especially the powerful operation of the Holy Spirit in the word preached. \ Notwithstanding all the opposition and persecution of the Roman pagan emperors, and the Roman papal potentates.
And He that sat upon on the white horse;
that is the Lord Jesus Christ. \
had a bow and a crown;
That is, he first converted, and then crowned his converts, and made them a royal priesthood. \ Thine arrows are sharp in the hearts of the kings enemies;( ride prosperously). Therefore the people fall under thee. \ So our Lord and King Jesus, did in the ministry of the gospel. Read; \ Thus Christ came
forth conquering, and to conquer;
that is, as he did in the apostles days, so he will do in all generations, especially in the latter days: Who hath heard of such a thing; Shall a Nation be born in a day. \ So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. \ And so it will to the end. \ Until we all come in the unity of faith unto a perfect man, &c.
