The Christ would come, not on a warhorse but riding a donkey as a symbol of His humility and peace. In the final conflict, when all the nations gather to war against Jerusalem, the Lord will strike the horses of the nations with panic and blindness so that the weapons of the nations will be recognized as useless. Absalom's pride and Solomon's wealth were symbolized by their tremendous acquisitions of horses. Horses were occasionally ridden by royalty but most Israelites used mules for transportation. White horses symbolize the sun, the moon, the sea, the heavens, justice, and holiness.
Most sacred horses are white.
During the Middle Ages, virgin heroes, saints, and Christ were depicted riding upon white horses. At the end of the age, Christ and His heavenly armies arrive, mounted on white horses. However, to dream of a white horse is considered an omen of death. A black horse indicates impending death, destruction, Satan, and evil influences. Traitors, magicians, and the devil disguised as a knight ride black horses.
