Is Trump the rider on the white horse in Revelation 6:2? Is The First Seal Broken?

Okay, okay. I know what you might be thinking when you read that title: “Here we go again, another MAGA supporter thinking Trump is the Messiah,” or “Another conspiracy theorist claiming Trump is the Anti-Christ.”

Let me clear the air.

Yes, I’m a Christian, but I’m not the type who sees every world event as Bible prophecy.

Yes, I voted for Trump, but I’m not a MAGA supporter. I voted for him purely for economic reasons.

And yes, I enjoy a good conspiracy theory, but I’m not gullible enough to believe every idea that smells like one.

That said, I can’t help but notice something weird about Trump, Elon Musk, and how so many “Never-Trumpers” seem to be rallying together all of a sudden. I won’t dive into that rabbit hole here, though.

What I want to focus on is something that hit me like a ton of bricks—a realization that gave me an uneasy feeling.

It’s about Trump.

I don’t like longwinded explanations, so I’m going to get to the point as painless as possible. Bear with me, please.

Most Christians are at least somewhat familiar with the Book of Revelation. It’s where the disciple John describes a vision given to him by Christ, revealing past, present, and future events of the world.

In Revelation chapter 6, after the first seal is broken, John sees a rider on a white horse. This rider has a bow but no arrow and is given a crown. The text says he goes out “overcoming and to overcome,” meaning he is conquering and will continue to do so.

Here’s the verse:

Revelation 6:2 (ISR)- “And I looked and saw a white horse. And he who sat on it held a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went out overcoming and to overcome.”

Now, this rider should not be confused with the one described later in Revelation:

Revelation 19:11-16 (ISR)—The Rider on the White Horse (Jesus)- “And I saw the heaven opened, and there was a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Trustworthy and True, and in righteousness He judges and fights. And His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns, having a Name that had been written, which no one had perceived except Himself.”

For now, let’s focus on the Rider in Revelation 6:2—the one with no arrow.

Who Is the Rider with No Arrow?

Some Christians believe the Rider with No Arrow is the same as the Rider of Truth (Jesus) in Revelation 19:11-16. Others think he represents the Anti-Christ, with the lack of an arrow symbolizing false power.

I believe both of these views are incorrect. Here’s why.

Why the Rider with No Arrow Is NOT Jesus

The lack of an arrow suggests this leader will conquer without shedding blood. Arrows are used to pierce and kill, but this rider doesn’t need to kill to gain power.

The Greek word for “crown” used in Revelation 6:2 is stephanos, which refers to a crown of honor, victory, or achievement. This is very different from diadēma, the royal crown signifying ultimate kingship and authority, which is used to describe Jesus in Revelation 19:11-16.

This distinction makes it clear that the Rider with No Arrow is not Jesus.

Another key difference is how they conquer. Jesus shed His blood on the cross to conquer death. In Revelation 19:11-16, He is described as possessing a sword from His mouth that will strike the nations and as treading the winepress of God’s wrath.

However, the Rider with No Arrow conquers without bloodshed or war.

Why the Rider with No Arrow Is NOT the Anti-Christ

In Revelation, there are 4 horsemen who bring divine judgment from God. In Revelation’s case, God’s divine wrath:

- A White Horse who has great influence and achieves great victory.

- A Red Horse who was given authority to take peace from the earth signifying war and distress.

- A Black Horse holding a pair scales which signifies famine.

- Lastly, a Pale Horse named Death who was given the authority to kill.

The Rider with No Arrow, arriving with the breaking of the first seal, is part of God’s divine judgment. This is very different from the Anti-Christ, opposes God, declares himself God, and makes people worship him.

The Rider with No Arrow is not the Anti-Christ. He is the Lord’s judgement , His wrath.

So now we understand who the two riders on white horses are and their unique purposes.

But here’s the big question...could we be the generation that experiences the End and everything that comes with it as said in Revelation and could Trump actually be the Rider with No Arrow?

I get it. I know how it sounds. You’ve probably already rolled your eyes and thought, “Oh great, another Christian conspiracy theorist claiming everything is Bible prophecy.”

But hear me out.

Let’s take a moment to think about what’s happening in the world right now. Things feel far from normal. Events are becoming more extreme, more chaotic. I think a lot of us Christians could agree that something just doesn't seem right.

We’re living in truly unique times. AI technology is advancing at an unbelievable pace, especially in creating images and videos that are almost impossible to distinguish from reality. It’s getting harder and harder to tell what’s real and what’s not. AI is improving far too quickly, and we’re now in a world that’s becoming easier to deceive.

And then there’s Trump. How was he able to make such big moves before he was even inaugurated?

Why are so many people—even Never-Trumpers—suddenly supporting him?

Trump has openly talked about acquiring Canada and Greenland, as well as renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. He’s already thinking about expanding territory and conquering land.

Matter of fact, when he was at the White House on inauguration day, signing executive orders, he said something like, “I don’t want to go to war so long as we have total victory.” He doesn’t want to shed blood to win…and to win absolutely.

Now let's go back to the Rider with No Arrow really quickly.

This rider, dressed in white, symbolizes someone who appears righteous and pure. He carries a bow, signifying great influence, but has no arrows, meaning he won’t shed blood to conquer. He wears a victor’s crown, representing his achievements and victories.

Side note: A leader who doesn’t need war to conquer must be an exceptional negotiator—someone who can find ways to make every side feel like they’ve benefited from the deal.

Donald Trump fits this description perfectly.

He talks about God and Christianity and portrays himself as someone who will lead America as a “Christian nation.” He presents himself as a righteous leader, (the rider wearing white and riding a white horse.).

As of 2025, Trump is one of the most influential people in the world. Leaders who once wanted nothing to do with anyone now line up to do business with him (the bow).

He’s had incredible success brokering peace agreements between ancient enemies. He was already having conversations with world leaders at Mar-a-Lago before his inauguration.

Donald Trump is a business tycoon and has the business experience to make the right deals.

Because of this influence, he doesn’t need to go to war to get what he wants. (no war or bloodshed)

Greenland has already talked with Trump’s team, including Donald Trump Jr., about joining the United States. Meanwhile, many Canadians on social media have also expressed support for joining the USA. (the crown)

To be clear, I don’t think Trump is the Anti-Christ. Honestly, I’d bet on Elon Musk being the Anti-Christ before Trump, but that’s a discussion for another day.

I know how I sound. I sound like a crazy person. But just take a step back and think about it for a second.

Is it possible?

Could the first seal in Revelation have been broken?

Could Donald Trump actually be the Rider on the White Horse in Revelation 6?

And if so...then Trump isn’t a blessing for America...he’s The Lord’s wrath upon it.
