The article responds to an editorial’s portrayal of the rider on the white horse in Revelation 19, clarifying that this figure—identified as Jesus Christ—does not come to save everyone but to destroy those who have rejected salvation. The author outlines the gospel message: all humans are sinners deserving punishment, but God offers salvation through Jesus Christ, which must be accepted by faith, repentance, and baptism. This offer closes with the rapture, after which no further repentance or salvation is possible, contrasting with popular “Left Behind” interpretations that suggest a second chance post-rapture.

The article further explains the sequence of end-time events, including the rapture of true Christians, the sealing of the 144,000, trumpet and vial plagues that kill large portions of humanity, and the final battle of Armageddon where only the 144,000 survive. The rider on the white horse returns at Armageddon to execute judgment, marking the start of the Millennium. The key message is that salvation must be accepted before the rapture, as no opportunity remains afterward.
