There are several instances where the book of Revelation mentions white horses. Rev.6:1-2 and Rev.19:11-16, mentions a single rider on a white horse. Rev.19:14 references armies, all riding white horses. Usually there is no confusion concerning the identity of the armies. They are thought to be the resurrected saints; however when mentioning the individual riders on white horses then there is differences of opinion. In most circles, it is agreed upon that both, the rider in Rev.6:2 and the rider in Rev.19:11 are very distinguished leaders. The disagreement comes in identifying the two riders. Some say the riders are the same in both instances, namely Jesus. Others say they are entirely two different riders and identify them as Antichrist in Rev.6 and Jesus in Rev.19. Upon closer examination, it becomes perfectly clear that Rev.6 and Rev.19 are two different riders. The rider in Revelation 6 has a (one) crown. The rider in Revelation 19 has many crowns. The rider in Revelation 6 has a bow. The rider in Revelation 19 has a sharp, two-edged sword. The title or name of the rider in Revelation 6 is not given or is hidden. The rider in Revelation 19 has a name (the Word of God) and a title (King of Kings and Lord of Lords).
The rider in Revelation 6 is definitely not Jesus, but he is a leader who portrays himself as Jesus. Everybody who rides a white horse is unquestionably not Jesus. The rider in Rev.6 is the Antichrist and the rider in Rev.19 is Jesus.
