Are there horses in Heaven?
Revelation 19:11
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and
True.
Revelation 19:14
The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
God describes the horse to Job:
He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; he does not shy away from the sword.
The quiver rattles against his side, along with the flashing
spear and lance.
In frenzied excitement he eats up the ground; he cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.
At the blast of the trumpet
he snorts, ”Aha!”
He catches the scent of battle from afar, the shout of the commanders and the battle cry.
Job 39:19-25
Do you give the horse his strength or clothe his neck with a flowing mane?
Do you make him leap like a locust, striking
terror with his proud snorting?
He paws fiercely, rejoicing in his strength, and charges into the fray.
