I think the event has not happened as of yet. The prince that shall come is the 7th king, the rider on the white horse of the 1st seal. He is a king of the North. The Temple that is destroyed has not been built as of yet, but it soon will be. I believe Israel just received 5 red heifers that are used for purification. Since the prince is a king of the North, the people that are his people are obviously of the kingdom of the North.
You're backing the wrong horse, as usual. White always and without exception signifies purity, holiness, righteousness in the Revelation:
Jesus' head and hair appear white like wool (Rev 1:14).
A white stone with a saint's name written on it (Rev 2:17).
The white raiment of the saints (Rev.3:5 & 18; 6:11; 7:9, 13 & 14).
The white clothing of the 24 elders (Rev 4:4).
The white clothing of angels (Rev 15:6).
The white raiment of the bride of Christ (Rev 19:8).
The Great White Throne (Rev 20:11).
Christ seated on a white cloud (Rev 14:14).
Christ returns on a white horse, leading His armies (Rev 19:11 & 14).
Christ's armies are riding white horses (Rev 19:14).
The first horseman of the Apocalypse is riding a white horse (Revelation 6:2). He is given a stéphanos crown. He has a bow, but no arrows are mentioned, yet he went forth conquering and to conquer.
The crowns on the heads of all the following entities mentioned in the Revelation, are stéphanos:-
Revelation 12:1 (crown of 12 stars on the woman's head);
Revelation 2:10 & 3:11 (the crowns of the saints);
Revelation 4:4 & 10 (the crowns of the 24 elders).
The crowns on the heads of the dragon in Revelation 12:3 and the ten kings in Revelation 13:1 are diádēma.
* Revelation 14:14 (Christ). In Revelation 14:14 Jesus is crowned with a stéphanos (a crown of victory and honor). In this passage His appearance is in the form of the Son of man (who, as we know, has been given a name above all names).
* In contrast to the Revelation 14:14, in Revelation 19:19 Christ is crowned with MANY diádēma. In this passage He is returning as King of (all) kings and Lord of (all) Lords (Revelation 19:16).
Unless Revelation 6:2 is the only exception, the color white in the Revelation never represents something bad or evil.
The white horse in Revelation 6:2 does not signify Christ Himself, because the horses and their horsemen are signifying something, and the weapons of the witnesses of Christ are spiritual:
"Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of hosts." (Zechariah 4:6) *
* In Revelation 11:3 it is Christ who is giving power to His two witnesses.
Ever heard the chorus words in a hymn, "Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before"? For thousands of years horses were used in battle, and "gates" in the Biblical sense are defenses that protect cities from enemy attack. The gospel (and therefore the church and Christians) are the enemies of Satan, because the gates of hades shall not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18).
* The rider of the white horse seen in the first seal is given a stéphanos.
THE SECOND HORSEMAN
The second horseman of the Apocalypse
is riding a red horse, which is the color of the dragon in Revelation 12:3.
The Greek word for red is pyrrhós, and these two verses (Revelation 6:2 and 12:3) are the only two verses in the entire New Testament where the word is used.
He is not given a crown.
Revelation 13:2 has the red dragon of Revelation 12:3 giving the beast of Revelation 13:1-10 his seat, his power, and great authority.
The rider on the red horse
is given a great sword and "power was given to him sitting on it, to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another" (Revelation 6:4).
In
Zechariah 1:7-21 the red horse signifies that peace was to be taken from the nations which had scattered Judah, and which were at ease.
So the Bible itself gives us the meaning of the first two horses (the first two seals) of the Apocalypse.
