When 'is' the One Thousand Year Reign?



WEll, according to Revelation 6:1-2, 1. Then I saw the Lamb open one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures call out, as with a voice of thunder, "Come!" 2. I looked, and there was a white horse! Its rider had a bow; a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering and to conquer. Let's see,.... a "White Horse", a "BOW" in hand, wearing a "CROWN", goes forth "Conquering" and to "Conquer". Hmmmm,..... "White Horse". No need for a definition. "Bow". "Weapon of War". "Crown". Symbol of authority. "Conquer". (kong'ker), v. "Conquering and to Conquer" 1. Get by fighting; win in war. 2. Overcome by force; defeat. 3. Be victorious. [] --conquerable, adj. --conquering, adj. --conqueringly, adv. --conqueror, n. --Syn. 2. vanquish, subdue. (Definition from Thorndike - Barnhart Comprehensive Desk Dictionary) Interesting. This verse has been, and often is, used to symbolize the "Anti-christ". A man who is supposed to come in by flatteries and various other peaceful means. Yet, upon further reflection of this verse, I find that this verse describes a man of war. One who comes in by means of force,....not a man who comes in by beguilings or deceits. As a result I am left with no choice for a conclusion other than this fact. This verse does not describe a man of peace, therefore, the use of this verse as a representative of a "man of peace", i.e., "The" Anti-christ, is false.
