Have to be careful when interpreting prophecy. In the Bible, the Heroic Rider on the White Horse is the Lord Jesus Christ, who rides out of Heaven when he returns, in Revelation 19.

There is another, non-heroic rider on a white horse, in Revelation 6. He, unlike the rider of Revelation 19, is earthbound. He has a bow but no arrows, and a crown, a sign of power. He rides out conquering and to conquer. This rider is the first of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Some interpreters, and this is my view, believe that this earthbound rider is the Antichrist.

Along with many other plagerisms, mormonism has claimed the "White Horse Prophecy" for itself. Nothing to do with the Biblical White Horse.

According to the so-called "White Horse Prophecy," the U.S. Constitution will be hanging by a thread and a church elder from Zion will ride in on a metaphorical white horse and save it.

This popular prophecy of Smith's is explained in the Encyclopedia of Mormonism:

LDS attachment to the Constitution has been further encouraged by an important oral tradition deriving from a statement attributed to Joseph Smith, according to which the Constitution would "hang by a thread" and be rescued, if at all, only with the help of the Saints. Church President John Taylor seemed to go further when he prophesied, "When the people shall have torn to shreds the Constitution of the United States the Elders of Israel will be found holding it up to the nations of the earth and proclaiming liberty and equal rights to all men" (JD 21:8). To defend the principles of the Constitution under circumstances where the "iniquity," or moral decay, of the people has torn it to shreds might well require wisdom at least equal to that of the men raised up to found it. In particular, it would require great insight into the relationship between freedom and virtue in a political embodiment of moral agency. (Encyclopedia of Mormonism, Vol.1, 1992)

Joseph Smith's White Horse Prophecy

THIS is why the mormons are mourning now. Their valiant Saint failed to fulfill this important task.
