The white horse: preparing for the Antichrist
I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. (Revelation 6:2 NASB)
Most take this to be either Christ or the Antichrist, but it is actually a spirit. How do we know?
- If the rider of the white horse is the Antichrist, then who are the riders of the remaining horses? We know one is called Death.
- The Antichrist is human, yet all these riders seem to have characteristics of being powerful supernatural beings. There is no reason to assume them to be symbolic.
- They have characteristics similar to those in Zech 1:8-11 who patrol the earth, and at times are instrumental in appeasing the wrath of God, as in the case of the white and black horses in Zech 6:1-8.
- This rider does not accurately characterize the Antichrist once the Antichrist has secured his power and his true evil intentions are manifest.
The rider is a spirit whose job it is to prepare the way for the Antichrist by making the idea of one world government desirable.
- The bow without arrows speaks of deception. Because arrows are not mentioned does not mean they are nonexistent. When he utilizes war, it is through subterfuge.
- The crown speaks of authority. It is willingly given him, by the nations and by wealthy and powerful individuals who control those nations. It is also given to him by God (Romans 13). The New World Order will be used by God to judge the earth and try the saints. It will be the church’s finest hour.
- “Conquering and to conquer” is an idiom, meaning total victory. Although God sanctions this government, it is by no means good. Authority here means total control. It wants to control every aspect of one’s life.
and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. (Revelation 13:17 NASB)
We see it happening today. Increasingly, Americans are coming to believe that there is an intentional effort on the part of America’s government to weaken the nation. People are at least asking, “What in the world is going on?”
The most visible expression of the movement toward global government is the United Nations and its various organizations. Their attempt to bring worldwide compliance is seen in every area: education, manufacturing, fresh water supplies, pharmaceuticals, child rights, World Court, “global warming” (now called “climate change”), etc.
Although the UN is the most visible, it is not the real power behind the rush to a New World Order. Control of the world’s wealth is concentrated in the hands of a very small number of individuals. Many researchers claim that most of the world’s wealth is controlled by as few as 13 families. Through their banks, international corporations, foundations and NGO’s, they are the real movers behind the policy makers at the UN. This is not just a theory, but has been well documented and written about extensively.
The plan to bring the nations under the control of a one-world government are well underway. Accordingly, the US must be further weakened so the people will voluntarily accept this new form of government.
How did we get in this situation and how should we respond?
Rothschilds
The beginnings of the current power elite can be traced back to Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1743-1812). Born in Frankfurt-on-the-Main in Germany, Rothschild established banks in England, France, and Germany. His sons expanded his banking empire. His eldest son, Amschel (1773-1855), is famous for having said in 1838: “Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.”
Another son, Nathan Mayer Rothschild said in 1815, “I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply.”
The Rothschilds spanned Europe with railroads, invested in coal and ironworks, financed England’s purchase of the Suez Canal, paid for oil exploration in Russia and the Sahara Desert, financed the czars of Russia, aided France in creating an empire in Africa, financed the Hapsburg monarchs, and saved the Vatican from bankruptcy. In the US, through their American and European agents, they helped finance Rockefeller’s Standard Oil, Carnegie Steel, and Harriman’s Railroad. It has been said that from 1820 on, there has been “only one power in Europe, and that is Rothschild.”
The House of Rothschild, and other International Bankers, have financed both sides of every war, since the American Revolution, including the Napolenic Wars, WWI and WWII.
Operating out of the heart of London, the Rothschilds have been solidly behind the creation of the European Union, one step towards the formation of a one-world government.
US Presidents
During the US Civil War the banks were charging the government usurious interest rates on the funds Lincoln needed to fight the war. So Lincoln heeded Thomas Jefferson’s advice and made the bold move of taking on the bankers by creating a new money system, issuing “green backs” as the new currency. Shortly before he was assassinated (April 1865), he had this to say:
“The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the Bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.”
Lincoln then prophetically added: “I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my Country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the Country will endeavor to prolong its reign … until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed.”
Many will argue that Lincoln was proved right and the Republic was destroyed some years later in 1913, when the Federal Reserve Act was signed into law, giving control of the US monetary system to the Rothschilds and other private bankers.
In 1913, U.S. Congressman Charles Lindbergh famously argued: “The [Federal Reserve] Act establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President signs this Bill, the invisible government of the monetary power will be legalized. The greatest crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency bill…. From now on, depressions will be scientifically created.”
In fact, President Woodrow Wilson, in 1916, looking back at his signing of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, considered it the most tragic and biggest mistake of his presidency and said this:
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial Nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the Nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the world, no longer a Government of free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”
On June 4, 1963 President John F. Kennedy (President of the United States 1961 – 1963) signed Executive Order 11110 which returned to the US government the power to issue currency without going through the Rosthchilds owned Federal Reserve. Less than 6 months later on November 22nd, president Kennedy is assassinated. The very same day, on Air Force One from Dallas to Washington President Lyndon Baines Johnson (the 36th President of the United States) rescinds Executive Order 11110.
Current economic crisis
Why is the United States economy in crisis? There are a host of reasons. At the top of the list would have to be its departure from the gold standard in 1973, its gargantuan federal deficit resulting from decades of reckless government spending, and the corrupt collusion between the military, big business and congress. All of this is allowed to continue because the public media, controlled by big business and government fails to inform the public so as to hold the purpetrators accountable. True investigative journalism is rewarded with a very short career in mainstream media. As a result, Americans remain uninformed about events and forces shaping thier future.
Although not the primary cause of the crisis, the trigger event was the failure of “toxic debt”. Banks created derivative debt instruments, had them rated AAA, and sold them to other banks and investors, knowing that the instruments would fail. Without devaluing these instruments on their books, the banks allowed the problem to grow until it finally exposed itself. Other nations whose banks had purchased these toxic derivatives were furious with the US, prompting it to create a bailout package for the distressed private bankers.
So what is the result? According to China’s largest credit rating agency, “the US is insolvent and faces bankruptcy as a pure debtor nation.” We can expect the dollar to be significantly devalued on the international market and replaced as the world’s currency of choice.
Some might question: why would the bankers create a scenario they knew was going to crash the system? Historically, their strategy for world economic conquest can be summarized as follows:
- Create acceptance of the idea (e.g., globalism) by formulating laws and shaping public opinion through the media
- Create a crisis
- Offer the solution to the crisis …. with more control.
For example, WWI led to the formation of the League of Nations. WWII led to the United Nations.
The current world debt crisis leads to the G-20 and a new global monetary system with more centralized control. But it too will fail, for it is only a temporary solution, one more step in preparation for the Antichrist’s total control of the world economy.
In a speech before the Council On Foreign Relations (April 2010)…, President of the European Central Bank Jean-Claude Trichet in an address entitled “Global Governance Today,” called for the imposition of global governance to be headed by the G20 and the Bank of International Settlements in the name of safeguarding the global Economy. Trichet explained that the elite need to impose “a set of rules, institutions, informal groupings and cooperation mechanisms that we call “global governance” if we are to avoid another financial crisis.
He is only one voice among many world leaders all calling for the same thing.

The above are examples of the pride of life (1 John 2:16).
