War no more. Notice that the rider of the white horse in Revelation had a bow, but no arrows. He had weapons, but was not shooting live ammunition. His weapons are peace, religion, and diplomacy. A crown was given to the one sitting on the white horse.
History teaches that the pope originally had no crown.
But today the pope wears a tiara consisting of three crowns. Although Catholicism at present has no standing army, it is certainly a conquering power. The significance of Hell following Death is what we must understand. When people die their individual fate is sealed. So the sooner death can claim individuals, the less chance they have of being saved and entering into the Kingdom of God.
