Revelation 6:1-3

J.B. Phillips New Testament

THE LAMB BREAKS THE SEALS

The first rider: conquest

6 Then I watched while the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice of thunder, “Come out!”

² I looked, and before my eyes was a white horse. Its rider carried a bow, and he was given a crown. He rode out conquering and bent on conquest.

The second rider: War

³ Then, when the Lamb broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature, cry, “Come out!”
