Who is the rider of the red horse in Revelation 6?
The rider of the red horse in Revelation 6 is interpreted as the Russian invasion of Israel, corresponding to the prophecy in Ezekiel 38–39. This view sees the red horse rider as representing Russia and her satellite nations, identified with Gog, Magog, Meshach, and Tubal.
Les explains that for about twenty years he has taught that the red horse rider of Revelation 6 is the Russian invasion of Israel described in Ezekiel 38–39. In that passage, Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshach and Tubal, is prophesied against. Les notes most Bible scholars he reads identify Gog, Magog, Meshach, and Tubal as Russia and her satellite nations. He also insists the Russian bear is alive and well, not dead, and that Russia’s army remains intact east of the Ural Mountains, with its espionage staffing not cut.
