1st horseman sitting on a white horse 'having a bow'

This spirit & power of the horseman with crown on white horse gives justification and authority to the horsemen of war, famine, and death.

..The 1st horseman sitting on a white horse 'having a bow'....is an incorrect translation.

Not 'having a bow' but the 'ability to bring forth/produce'

The translation into the word 'bow' is a mis-translation.

The root definition of the Greek word 'τίκτω' is to bring forth, deliver, to produce.

In other words having the POWER to bring forth his will.

Therefore the scriptures in Rev. 6:2 should read as follows:

"I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had the POWER to bring forth his will ; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

With this POWER to bring forth his will , this symbolic horsemen went out and was able to conquer all of mankind....and they worshipped him ( i.e. crown/stephanos).

This POWER enabled him to conquer the nations in a spiritual sense.

It was able to unite all nations and peoples to worship his one way of life...that of "FREEDOM"....which we see all of mankind demanding...each for their self interests.
