The white horseman in Revelation 6 is likely a picture of the Antichrist and he carries a bow.

> [Rev. 6:2](https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/rev/6/1/t_conc_1173002) And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

There is a connection with the symbol of God's bow to both peace and judgement. The "peace" of the antichrist is a deception and twisting of the truth, similar to how the symbol of the rainbow has been twisted, leading up to the one-world antichrist religion.
