The Scriptures use the horse as a symbol for war activities. [...] The whiteness of the horse pictures truth, meekness and righteousness. Of Jesus it was written: "And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of thruth and meekness and righteousness; The mighty One on the white horse wore a crown, denoting his authority and that he 'whose right it is to rule' had come.

Thus Christ Jesus conquered, and he goes on to conquer at Armageddon.
