What does the red horse in Revelation 6 correspond to in Matthew 24?
The red horse corresponds to Matthew 24:7, where Jesus foretells that nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. In the parallel between Revelation 6 and Matthew 24, this verse is identified as the red horse, following the white horse's Antichrist deception and wars and rumors of wars.
Les explains that Matthew 24 is a tribulation chapter and that Jesus' discourse describes the seven-year period, with a direct parallel to Revelation 6. The white horse matches Matthew 24:5, the Antichrist's deception. Jesus then mentions wars and rumors of wars in verse 6, but says that is not yet the end. In verse 7, “nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,” which Les identifies as the red horse. He pauses there, planning to return to finish the verse when discussing the pale horse.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
