Rider On The White Horse

I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True.  With justice he judges and makes war.  His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns.  He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.  He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.  The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.  Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations.  “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”  He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.  On his robe and on his thigh he has the name written:  KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

– Revelation 19:11-16

Who Exactly is this rider on a white horse in Revelations 19?  Many Jewish people believe that this scripture refers to their returning Messiah and that is Very TRUE!  This scripture even goes on to specifically say that this rider on a white horse “will rule them with an iron scepter,” which is also found written by David in Psalm 2:9.  However, a lot of Jewish people believe that this scripture is referring to Elijah!  Yet the disciple John continued to write that this rider on a white horse is called Faithful and True.  Was Elijah ever referred to as Faithful and True?  No!  Rather, Jesus (Yeshua) stated that he IS The Way, The Truth, and The Life!  Going further, we read that his eyes are like blazing fire and on his head are many crowns.  He even has a name written on him that no one knows but himself!  Now that sounds just like God!  Yet this next part of scripture reveals the true identity of the rider on the white horse…  It says that he is dressed in a robe dipped in blood and his name is the Word of God!  The reason why the rider on the white horse is dressed in a robe dipped in blood is because he IS Jesus (Yeshua), the Son of God and man whose blood was shed on the cross, making everlasting atonement for those who believe in him!  You see, Jesus (Yeshua) was the PERFECT sacrifice!  And Jesus (Yeshua) is the Only One who has Ever been consistantly proclaimed throughout history to be the Word of God in the flesh!  Was Elijah Ever specifically called the Word of God??  No!!  On top of that, we read that the armies of heaven were following him riding on white horses dressed in linen garments that are white and clean!  This suggests that Jesus (Yeshua) has purified God’s children by washing them with his everlasting blood; removing every stain, every wrinkle, and every sin for All Eternity!  John went on to write that out of his mouth comes a sharp sword to strike down the nations!  And in Hebrews 4:12, we read that the Word of God is sharper than ANY double-edged sword!  So we know that John is describing the Word of God who IS Jesus (Yeshua)!  Even John goes on to mention how this rider on the white horse treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty!  Yet the Greatest part about the rider on the white horse is that on is robe and on his thigh are written the name: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!  Hallelujah!!!  Jesus (Yeshua) IS The King Of Kings And The Lord Of Lords!!!  He IS The Messiah!!!  He has won The VICTORY!
