Revelation 6:1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
This isn't Jesus on a white horse. According to the commentaries Jesus will ride a white horse but it won't be until chapter 19.
Since God is the only one who controls time.... God knows what is going to happen before it does. This scroll is like the script. As Jesus opens the seals we see the culmination of history.
It says here that this guy on this white horse means to take over the world. The fact that he's carrying a bow means he's willing to use violence to get his way. The fact that he's given a crown, means humans are going to allow him to do it.
That's how I see these verses.
