In the throne room o f heaven, four living creatures surround
the throne (Rev 4:6).
As the Lamb opens the seals of the seven-sealed scroll, each of
the Horsemen responds to one of the living
creatures, and the command to "go out":
What do these elements represent?
The Names corresponding to the Living Creatures a nd the Tribes
of Israel tell
the story of the nation in Tribulation:
"Now I will praise the LORD"
"God has caused me to be fruitful
in the land of my affliction"
"The Lord has surely looked upon my affliction" [and]
To overcome Israel from within; to prepare for war
Each of these elements reveals something about the White
Horseman's Mission; together they present a completepicture.
Neither Christ nor Antichrist, this horseman is an
Angelic Avenger.
The bow
The crown
The mission
is an Angel:
Revelation 6. He "goes out" from before the throne; he obeys the
call of the
Living Creature; he is given a crown in Heaven ; he is given
power to overcome
the nations (primarily Israel);
Zechariah 1 & 6; He is one o f the 'four spirits of Heaven
who go out from their
station before the Lord of all the earth."
Cross-References: Horses as Angels
Zechariah 1; Zechariah 6
2 Kings 6
Psalm 104Hebrews 1 (angels as flames of fire, cf. 2 Kings 6)

The Mission of the Four Horsemen:
...is to "give rest" to the Spirit of God (Zechariah 6:8).
They do this by enacting the righteous judgment of God on a
world living in
sinful rebellion against Him.
