Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 19:11

11 And I saw heaven opened , and behold a white horse, and he that late upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judg and make war.

The remaining part of this Chapter is conceived more fully to open what shall come to pass under the Sixth and Seventh Vials, mentioned chap. 16.12. more especially the Battel in Armageddon, mentioned there v. 16. There mention was made only of the Armies being gathered together; here it is more fully described. At the beginning of the Gospel, (saith a late learned Annotator) Iohn saw only a Door opened, chap. 4.1. At the Resurrection of the Witnesses, he saw the Temple opened, chap. 11.19. Here after the Ruine of Babylon, he seeth Heaven opened. Iohn saw such an Horse, chap. 6.2. Dr. More observes, that the Horse with his Rider signifies Rule; and the white Colour, Prosperity and Success.

It appears that the Rider was Christ, because he is called Faithful and True, which agrees with chap. 1.5. and by the Names in the following v. 13, & 16. given to him.
