For starters, maybe try to keep straight who folks are addressing. (hint) It wasn't you.
Right... and don't forget to have some grace.
Thanks

Wrong horse.
If no evil is actually mentioned of the white horse rider nor any good specifically mentioned... only that a crown was given and he went out conquering and to conquer.
Might this not be anything more than a signpost?
Not an anti-Christ nor a Christ figure... but just something of note that is easily recognised?
Could it just be that a notable figure steps on the world stage for a time and is as literature-ally described?
Maybe you all are looking for too deep a meaning here. Maybe this person is someone who is not a ruler, but is given the status of a ruler, and just goes from triumph to triumph in all their worldly endeavours.
Interestingly-- later in Rev 19 there is the white horse again, and it's rider is described as having many crowns on his head... but the word is different than Rev 6. Instead of stephanos, it's diadema (diadem) which when translated becomes once again- crown, but in it's original usage it relates more closely to fabric wrapped around like a headband. A toxon wrapped around the crown of one's head.
Good observation here. What is that "crown" that was given and how does one get one? I'm assuming these aren't the paper hats they hand out at Burger King.
Maybe like you say...
Maybe it's just some guy with a goofy crown.
As you are probably aware (I have not read all of your posts) the stephanos crown is the leaf crown of victory. The leaf crown of victory is the symbol of the UN. So, it is very likely that the rider on the white horse, the false Christ of the 1st seal, will be the Secretary General of the UN.
Yeah this guy seems to have an attitude.For starters, maybe try to keep straight who folks are addressing. (hint) It wasn't you.
I personally believe the white horse represents the spirit of the antichrist. This world is so "anti-Christ", anti God, everything is flying in the face of the will of God. I see the four horsemen as each having a unique task that prepares the way for the anti-christ.
This is what I believe the Holy Spirit has shared with me; however, I encourage everyone to use right discernment and research for themselves.
With the new Prime Minister of Israel going to the UN and stating that Israel agrees to a two-state solution with Palestine, the entire time using the words "peace" and "security" over and over (I know peace was said every other sentence), we truly are seeing the end times unfold. I also heard that Israel, after 2000 years, has been given 5 "spotless" red heifers...hmmmm.
