Revelation 6:3-16

Christ is the lamb here, the church has been raptured and is not on the earth anymore, and this is what's happening. A man comes riding on white horse with a bow, ready to conquer. He's the antichrist, going to rise to be king of the earth, conquering with charisma and words, not violence at first.
Rev 6:3: the first four seals are brought on directly because the antichrist comes to power. Seal One is the antichrist loosed on the earth. Seal Two is a red horse, and power is given unto him to take peace from the earth, to war. History is a record of the failures of man. A Great Sword means this is going to be a Big War. The horses are not real horses, they represent speed and swiftness. These changes are going to occur quickly.
