Revelation 19:11 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.
12 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.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
The rest of Revelation 6:8 says that the rider of the chloros horse is given authority over a quarter of the earth, or the fourth part of the earth. Jesus wouldn’t divide Hie authority with three other riders. Jesus is not the rider of the chloros horse. Hell does not come with Jesus.
You can also tell by the sequence of the verses. The chloros horse shows up in Revelation 6:8 and then the white horse shows up in Revelation 19:11. They are not the same horse or the same rider. The chloros horse rider is one of four that make a big mess, and then later the white horse rider cleans up the mess.
Jesus Christ is typed many times in the book in a spiritual reading.
Death and hell no longer belong to the devil or the Adamic.
It's a faith issue.
The manchild born of the woman is the perfected sons of God born of the church.
Right when the manchild is born, heaven is cleaned up by Micheal and his angels. Micheal is Jesus Christ his angels are conquering sons of God, the dragon is cast from heaven to the earth.
Spiritually we cast the devil out of our heaven.
I realize this is foreign to most readers of the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
It's all about the unveiling of Jesus Christ in mankind, in the church, in the saints.
Earth is symbolic of our Adamic spiritual man. We are Adamic influenced by the serpent though we know it not, until we have a new birth experience.
When we are born of the Holy Spirit, we still have to contend with our carnal flesh man
Romans 8:6
Thank you, I appreciate your input in the thread.
Spiritual warfare is a fight.

It's my favorite topic. It didn't use to be, I went 35 years as a Christian ignoring the book of Revelation because I didn't understand it.
I picked up a series with an idealist interpretive method and it all started making sense.
I'm word salady because I'm a bit slow. I do try to communicate as best I can.
Enjoy your post on the pale and white horses, I look forward to reading it.
Me and the wife recently watched Tombstone and the Pale Rider.
Noted the references as well.
Good day fren
Sorry about being testy. Maybe you’re right about some of this stuff and I should research and contemplate more before making a post. Something interesting is that in Rev 6:2 the first horse is also described as leukos or white. Maybe it’s the same leukos horse from Rev 19:11, or maybe it’s an impersonation. I suspect the latter, that it’s the horse of the antiChrist trying to impersonate the real Christ who shows up later. Or maybe it’s your hypothesis that none of the four horses are tools of the antiChrist. I’ll dig more…
