When does the red horse appear in the seven-year tribulation timeline?
The red horse appears as the first event of the seven-year tribulation, likely within the first month or so after the seven years have begun. Its rider brings war, takes peace from the earth, and causes people to kill one another.
Les teaches that the next event, probably within the first month or so after the seven years have begun, is another horse, and this one is red. When peace is absent, the result is war—a real war. The rider of the red horse, described as an individual or power entity, brings war on the earth, takes peace from the earth, and causes people to kill one another. Les emphasizes that this rider’s battleground is epitomized not by killing the enemy but by people killing each other. He also asks what great power on earth is associated with the color red, and answers that it is Russia.
