Now I
saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse.
And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness
He judges and makes war.
- · When Jesus comes, He comes on a white horse. In Biblical times, especially among Israel, most soldiers were foot soldiers. To have a horse in battle was a significant advantage. A horse spoke of honor, of power, and of speed; the color of this horse speaks of victory. (DG)
- · Faithful and True: This glorious title shows Jesus is the keeper of promises, including His promises of judgment. (DG)
- · He is righteous in all His proceedings (MH)
Psalm 72:2 He will judge Your people with righteousness,
and Your poor with justice.
Isaiah 11:4 But with righteousness He shall judge the
poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the
earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay
the wicked.
