White Horse

Then I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True and in righteousness he judges and makes war. Swedenborgs interpretation of the white horse and its rider centers around its symbolic significance. He sees the white horse as representing the Word of God particularly the spiritual truths and teachings found in the Bible. The rider of the white horse according to Swedenborg represents the divine truth that emanates from the Lord. Swedenborgs interpretation emphasizes the idea that the true spiritual meaning of the Word which he believed he had been divinely revealed is being revealed in his own writings. He saw himself as a messenger unveiling the deeper spiritual truths contained within the Bible.
