THE ARRIVAL OF THE FALSE CHRIST and THE TRUE CHRIST
Do not make the mistake of thinking that these two "similar" scenes are the same. In fact, they are opposed to one another.

THE ARRIVAL OF THE FALSE CHRIST, which CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME
The Revelation 6 passage refers to the rise of a world ruler, a world deliverer, who will be lauded, applauded and even worshiped by the citizens of the world. He will be a monster, but will be hailed as a messiah, because this false Savior will appear to have the answers and the power to solve human suffering (war, famine, sickness, poverty). But it is all a trick that captivates a rebellious world. This can happen at any time. It is not the end of the world, but the beginning of the end of this PRESENT AGE, and mankind will think that Utopia has been attained under their false deliverer.

Revelation 6:1-2
(1) And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
(2) And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

This leads to the rule of the anti-Christ, the Beast, the One World Government, One World Economy, One World Religion, which will eventuate in the most terrible period of human existence. Read the next verses to get an idea of what follows this false Christ on his white horse.

Revelation 6:3-17
(3) And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
(4) And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
(5) And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
(6) And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
(7) And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
(8) And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
(9) And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
(10) And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
(11) And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
(12) And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
(13) And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
(14) And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
(15) And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
(16) And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
(17) For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

THE ARRIVAL OF THE TRUE CHRIST, which WILL NOT HAPPEN FOR AT LEAST SEVERAL YEARS
The Revelation 19 passage refers to the physical return of Christ to the earth, at which time He will establish His earthly kingdom. At that time He will subdue and imprison the devil, conquer the anti-Christ forces of the world, and begin a 1,000 year reign from Jerusalem. After His earthly reign, God will allow a final rebellion. Still, this is not the end of this wicked world. It is the prelude to the end.

Revelation 19:11-16
(11) And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
(12) His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
(13) And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
(14) And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
(15) And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
(16) And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
