Answers to Question 4.
When do we make the bridal robe?
(a) As the bridal robe is composed of the righteousnesses (new translation) of the saints, it must embrace all the works which they have done in this life that will meet with the Lord's approval at the judgment seat. (1 Cor. 3:1414If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. (1 Corinthians 3:14).)
Answers to Question 5.
What is the first thing given us that is to take place on this earth after the Church is in heaven?
(a) When the Lamb opened the first seal, John describes what he saw. "Behold a white horse, and he that sat upon it having a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering and that he might conquer." Rev. 6:1, 21And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (Revelation 6:1‑2).
We give here a quotation by way of explanation of this last answer:
"The first is the white horse, the symbol of triumphant and prosperous power. He that sat on him had a bow.' (Ver. 2.) The bow is the symbol of distant warfare. His course is evidently that of unchecked victory. The moment he appears, he conquers. The battle is won without a struggle, and apparently without the carnage of the second judgment, where the sword, the symbol of close hand-to-hand fighting, is used. But the first conqueror is some mighty one who sweeps over the earth, and gains victory after victory by the prestige of his name and reputation. There is no intimation of slaughter here." (Lecture on the Book of the Revelation, by W. K. Page 136.)
This bloodless victory might also be gained by his skill as a diplomat making peace with the present warring nations, which peace the rider on the second horse takes from the earth.
