What is the red horse in Matthew 24 according to Les?

In Matthew 24, the red horse is identified with verse 7's prophecy that nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. It parallels Revelation 6's red horse and represents war and armed conflict during the tribulation, following the white horse of Antichrist's deception.

Les teaches that Matthew 24 is a tribulation chapter describing the seven-year period, with a direct parallel to Revelation 6. He identifies the white horse as the Antichrist's deceptive appearance. After verse 6's wars and rumors of wars, which are not yet the end, Les points to verse 7—"nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom"—as the red horse. He stops there, saying he will finish that verse when he gets to the pale horse, then turns to Ezekiel 38 and Gog/Magog.

Matthew 24:7

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
