Description
bow and arrow is like typhon's bane (look it up) its a shame how Typhon was owned like that (wouldn't have happended to my typhon. he's BOSS) anyway, revelation is the best bible for one reason: its got monsters The Beast, Behemoth and Leviathan, Abbadon i think. i dont know why we don't learn about it in church, then when you bring it up people think your crazy.
for those who are not familiar with the horsemen here ya go:
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are described in the last book of the New Testament of the Bible, called the Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ to Saint John the Evangelist at 6:1-8. The chapter tells of a "'book'/'scroll' in God's right hand that is sealed with seven seals". The Lamb of God/Lion of Judah (Jesus Christ) opens the first four of the seven seals, which summons forth four beings that ride out on white, red, black, and pale horses. Although some interpretations differ, the four riders are commonly seen as symbolizing Conquest, War, Famine and Death, respectively. The Christian apocalyptic vision is that the four horsemen are to set a divine apocalypse upon the world as harbingers of the Last Judgment
I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come and see!" I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
— Revelation 6:1-2˄ NIV
Due to the above sentence (the most common translation into English), the White rider is referred to as Conquest (not Pestilence, see below). The name could also be construed as "Victory," per the translation found in the Jerusalem Bible (the Greek words are derived from the verb νικάω, to conquer or vanquish). He carries a bow, and wears a victor's crown.
The exact nature and morality of the apocalyptic white rider is less clear. He has been argued to represent either evil or righteousness by multiple sources.
The other three horsemen represent evil, destructive forces, and given the unified way in which all four are introduced and described, it may be most likely that the first horseman is correspondingly evil. Artwork which shows the horsemen as a group, such as the famous woodcut by Albrecht Dürer, suggests an interpretation where all four horsemen represent different aspects of the same tribulation.[5]
The first horseman is often associated with military conquest. One interpretation, which was held by evangelist Billy Graham—casts the rider of the white horse as the Antichrist, or a representation of false prophets, citing differences between the white horse in Revelation 6 and Jesus on the white Horse in Revelation 19. In Revelation 19 Jesus has many crowns, but in Revelation 6 the rider has just one.
Irenaeus, an influential Christian theologian of the 2nd century, was among the first to interpret this horseman as Christ himself, his white horse representing the successful spread of the gospel. Various scholars have since supported this theory, citing the later appearance, in Revelation 19, of Christ mounted on a white horse, appearing as The Word of God. Furthermore, earlier in the New Testament, the Book of Mark indicates that the advance of the gospel may indeed precede and foretell the apocalypse. The color white also tends to represent righteousness in the Bible, and Christ is in other instances portrayed as a conqueror. However, opposing interpretations argue that the first of the four horsemen is probably not the horseman of Revelation 19. They are described in significantly different ways, and Christ's role as the Lamb who opens the seven seals makes it unlikely that he would also be one of the forces released by the seals.
Besides Christ, the horseman could represent the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was understood to have come upon the Apostles at Pentecost after Jesus' departure from Earth. The appearance of the Lamb in Revelation 5 shows the triumphant arrival of Jesus in heaven, and the white horseman could represent the sending of the Holy Spirit by Jesus and the advance of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

One problem with your details of "The White Rider", when it was originally translated, they mistook some words, and could not translate others. In doing so, they left out a key ingrediant to 1st horseman's persona, which some later found out and began to include it in variations of the Bible. The piece that is often missed is that it tells of him conquering the world by use of the wind, carrying disease and plague. Some discriptions even go as far to say that his bow represents the wind, and that he would use the bow itself to spread disease. So, furthermore, with those discriptions now known, it is safe to say that the name of this horseman is actually Pestilence, which is the word that represents plagues and diseases carried by the wind (or insects that fly), and not conquest. Another thing that would also make it impossible for his name to be conquest is if you look in the dictionary, War and Conquest are too similar in wording, and often used as the same term, thereforethere can not be two of them in the group, especially if conquests in the past were usually won by the edge of a sword, and not by bow and arrow.
These conclusions I've come to about the rider itself are merely theory though, mostly because I study Revelations and all of its details from every variation of the book.
