How soon after the seven-year period begins does the red horse appear?

Les teaches that the next event is probably within the first month or so after the seven years have begun. The first event to come on the scene is another horse, and this one is red. He explains that when peace is absent, war follows—a real war. The rider of the red horse brings war on the earth, takes peace from the earth, and causes people to kill one another. Their battleground is not killing the enemy but killing each other. Les also asks what great power is associated with the color red and answers that it is Russia, directing attention to Ezekiel.
