A great example of bible scholars making mistakes is Revelation 6, the first horse, the white horse's rider. Hal and just about half the serious scholars say the rider is the anti-Christ.

But,

The other half say the rider is Christ come to rapture His church.

You can pretty much bet that half are wrong. Does that diminish the rest of their work?

Well, the rider has no arrows in his bow. Jesus comes with a sword, not a bow, and if He did have a bow, you can be sure it would have a quiver full of arrows. Also, he has to be "given" a crown. That ain't Jesus, who already HAS His crown.

But you can have a "view" or an "opinion" as to what my middle name is. You might be right, or wrong. But that doesn't change the fact of my middle name.

Reread Revelation. There appear to be two white horses.

The first appears, in Rev. 6:2, as one of the four horses representing horrible punishments. That horse carries "one bent on conquest." At first blush many may think this is Christ, but most scholars don't think so. Together, these four appear to be relatively equal to one another, and are purely destructive forces. The other three horsemen represent bloodshed, famine and death.

Christ's final triumphant entry seems to come later in the book. The rider on the second white horse appears in Rev. 19:11. This horse clearly carries Jesus, described as "Faithful and True". On His robe and thigh are the words" King of kings and Lord of lords".

You may disagree, but this is certainly something upon which reasonable men may differ.
