The only "reinterpretation" taking place is done by those who cannot see the wood for the trees. Those who ignore, for example, how the color white is used in the Revelation, so as to continue interpreting the first horseman in such a way as to force it to comply with their starting point.
LOL. No one is able to offer a good reason why the white horse of the first seal is the only exception to the rule in the Revelation.You've concluded that the color "White" will ALWAYS signify a certain thing, regardless of what it's context is, how it is uses, where it appears.
Do you hold the same to be true across the board? Will you be consistent in this?
Is the "red" dragon "red" because "red" ALWAYS signifies evil in the Revelation?
The "green" horse, pestilent and deadly, is all that is green in the Bible pestilent and deadly?
Much love!
But it's not. I've shown you another. They refer to known things.LOL. No one is able to offer a good reason why the white horse of the first seal is the only exception to the rule in the Revelation.

Answered you in Post #86.
I've read it four times through . . . I can't find any other colors mentioned . . .Answered you in Post #86.
In the Revelation (which is the book where the seals are found) the color white represents ... what, exactly?... wherever else its found in the Revelation?I've read it four times through . . . I can't find any other colors mentioned . . .

White clothing in the Revelation is identified as symbolizing the righteousness of the saints, and their righteous deeds.In the Revelation (which is the book where the seals are found) the color white represents ... what, exactly?... wherever else its found in the Revelation?

You have to tell me what else the color white represents in the Revelation, since you are claiming it represents something else. So the onus is on you to come up with what you think it represents.
In the first post I mentioned that the second horse is a red horse, which happens to be the color of the dragon.
Tell me, what is the red horse's rider doing?
No you are the one who's produced all the speculation in your own mind and repeating it here.White clothing in the Revelation is identified as symbolizing the righteousness of the saints, and their righteous deeds.
What other place do you find a color in the Revelation to be declared a symbol, and what that symbol means?
I ask about the other colors to see if you are consistent in your view on colors in the Revelation. I suggest that either Scripture says something, and if it doesn't, if we assert it, we are asserting what is actually our own speculation.
Much love!
Where the Bible declares something to be a symbol, I'll consider it to be a symbol. And I'll use the the meaning for that symbol which the Bible itself supplies.You haven't read it enough because you claim the color white represents something else in the Revelation,
Because I won't go beyond what the Bible says? Guilty as charged!No you are the one who's produced all the speculation in your own mind and repeating it here.
It simply means what it says. They are given a white stone, because the stone is white. It was used to give a record of a verdict in court. Jesus will ride a white horse because the conquering king rode a white horse. The angel sits on a white cloud, as clouds are white.but though the onus is on you to say what else it represents,
Where the Bible declares something to be a symbol, I'll consider it to be a symbol. And I'll use the the meaning for that symbol which the Bible itself supplies.
So then, I can know as a truth that white clothing in the Revelation is symbolic for righteousness, and for righteous acts.
You want to extend that meaning to things which are not clothing, but are other things, a stone, horses, clouds, a throne, yet, there is no passage of Scripture tellings us those are symbolic of some other thing, and what that symbol means.
Much love!
You continue to restate your assertion, but without evidence, and now just making it personal insults every time also.The fact of the matter is in the Revelation the color white is not used for anything that is Satanic. Not even once.
You've chosen to remain blind to that fact, though it's been shown to you so clearly. That's why the bottom of my signature says,
If you're standing in a dark room you can't expel darkness by hurling punches at the darkness. You shine a light into the darkness and the darkness will be expelled by the light.
But the blind still won't see the light.
I thought that maybe if you can see the clues the Revelation gives and understand that just as the horses in Zechariah chapter 1 represent events going on in the earth and the powers behind them, you would be able to understand that the horses in the Revelation are not literal horses but the riders on them represent the powers behind them, and if you look at what the rider of the second horse is doing you would understand that the fact that he's riding a red horse (the color of the dragon in Revelation 12:3) represents the fact that the power behind him is Satan - (the power behind the beast of Revelation 13:1-10).You continue to restate your assertion, but without evidence, and now just making it personal insults every time also.
Much love!
There are many many interpretations of these.BUT because so many saints have become blinded to this truth by their own interpretations of the first horseman, there was really no point in my saying so.
And what of someone who is willing to base so much on so little? Shuddering over the state of the church because others won't join you in your speculations?If you cannot even identify the difference between a reference to Christ and another to the Antichrist in the Revelation (even when the Revelation gives such strong clues), it makes me shudder for all the saints.
