Rev.6:1-2 "And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, and one of the four creatures saying, Come and see, 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."

Peter preached this powerful Spiritual message and the gospel went forth which changed the world! "This is the stone which was set at naught of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:11-12)

"And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; And of the rest durst no man join himself to them. And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women. Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them." (Acts 5:12-15)
This message in it's entirety reveals the birth of Christianity into that 1st. Century Pagan world.

* As the "Lamb" opened this first sealed scroll, John heard the "noise of thunder" and one saying, "Come and see."
This scene is analogous to the thunder and lightening which the Lord displayed on Mt. Sinai, when He gave the Ten Commandments to Mosses.
* This prophetic message about to be revealed to John will prove to be more profound than the Ten Commandments. Why? It is because these sealed scrolls contain God's final commandment to His New covenant people...To His chosen people which are the New Testament Israel of God called, Christians.
* This prophecy is revealing the dispensational guidance given for Christians!
* The Rider pictured in this scene is described as a "Conqueror." His bow and crown present him as a mighty warrior.
* The White Horse symbolizes the purety and holiness of all Christ's true believers.
* Those 1st. century Christians went forth as a mighty army
(a Spiritual army) preaching and living the gospel under the mighty power of the Resurredted Christ!
* Of that 1st. century church, it is written: "They turned the world up-sidedown." They were "Spiritual" conquerors over Satan's power that had prevailed in all the past ages of time! They were victorious over sin, Satan, and that Pagan world!
* The accounts of this "Spiritual Army" are recorded in the book of Acts. Great wonders and miracles were done in the mighty name and power of Jesus by these believers!
