This is an interesting link which goes into great detail into who the man of lawlessness might be. For those interested in our eschatology, it might be of help to you. I would encourage everyone to watch it.
Jesus on the white horse in chapter six is now the Madhi....ever changing prophecy....perhaps more like speculation to fit present day political scenario.
John Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible, written in the 18th century, says;
And I saw, and behold a white horse, Representing the ministration of the Gospel in the times of the apostles, which were just now finishing, John being the last of them, who saw this vision; and the “horse” being a swift, majestic, and warlike creature, and fearless of opposition and war, may design the swift progress of the Gospel in the world, the majesty, power, and authority with which it came, and opposition it met with, and which was bore down before it;
Adam Clarke’s Commentary on the Bible from the early 19th century explains;
A white horse – Supposed to represent the Gospel system, and pointing out its excellence, swiftness, and purity.
He that sat on him – Supposed to represent Jesus Christ.
A bow – The preaching of the Gospel, darting conviction into the hearts of sinners.
A crown – The emblem of the kingdom which Christ is to establish on earth.
Conquering, and to conquer – Overcoming and confounding the Jews first, and then the Gentiles; spreading more and more the doctrine and influence of the cross over the face of the earth.
