What does the red horse of Revelation represent?
The red horse of Revelation is interpreted as a reference to the only military-political power on earth known as red, the Red Army of Russia. This view is presented as personal speculation, not a literal requirement of the text, and is tied to Ezekiel 38.
Les explains that the red horse is the second of the four horsemen. He is careful to say that some of his remarks are strictly his own personal speculation, and that whenever he digresses from what the Word literally says, he makes that clear. He likes to look at the red horse as a reference to the only military-political power on earth that has been known as red—the Red Army of Russia—and he ties the red horse of Revelation to Ezekiel 38. He places these events at the beginning of the seven years, where the Antichrist signs a treaty with Israel.
