Le 'Verbe de Dieu', cavalier armé d'une lance et d'un bouclier, monte un cheval blanc. Légende : "Hic est rex regnum et dominus dominantium qui vocatut fidelis et verax et iustitia iudicat et pugnat contra bestiam" ("Apoc 19, 11 et 16").
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called «Faithful» and «True», and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. (Revelation, 19.11)
