No — Les Feldick teaches that the four horsemen in Revelation are symbolic, not literal riders on literal horses.
Les repeatedly calls the horses and riders "symbolism" in his teaching. He interprets the white horse as the Antichrist, the red horse as war and a Russian invasion from the north, the black horse as famine and inflation, and the pale horse as famine/disease and death. He also ties all of this to Jesus' words in Matthew 24 about the beginning of sorrows.
Revelation 6:1-8 — This passage introduces the four horses and their riders in John's vision, the passage Les is unpacking when he says each horse is a symbol.
In Revelation 6, the Apostle John sees the Lamb open the first four seals of the scroll. The Bible describes a white horse whose rider has a bow and is given a crown, a red horse whose rider is given power to take peace from the earth, a black horse with a pair of balances and a voice pricing wheat and barley, and a pale horse whose rider is named Death, with Hell following him. The imagery is highly symbolic and visionary; Scripture does not flatly state whether these are literal animals, but it presents them as things John saw in a vision.
Les Feldick is clear that the horsemen are symbols, not literal riders. He says the white horse is "a symbolism of the coming of the Antichrist." He identifies the red horse with war, and specifically says he thinks it will be the great Russian invasion from the north. He teaches that the famine horse pictures a worldwide food shortage so severe that a worker must work from sunup to sundown just to earn enough to buy bread for the next day. He also connects the events to Matthew 24, where Jesus called these things the beginning of sorrows.
Les Feldick describes the white horse as "a symbolism of the coming of the Antichrist." He connects this to Jesus' warning in Matthew 24 that many would come in Christ's name and deceive many.
Les teaches that the red horse symbolizes war. He says the rider of the red horse takes peace from the earth so that they kill one another. He also says he likes to think this will be the great Russian invasion from the north, which would then lead to famine and disease.
Les Feldick teaches that the black horse indicates famine. He explains that if the major food-producing areas are knocked out, the rest of the world will face an almost annihilated food supply and absolute famine. The result is runaway inflation, where a worker must work a full day just to earn enough to buy bread for the next day.
Les describes the pale horse as symbolism for famine and disease, and he connects it to the great death and destruction that follows famine. He also associates it with the pestilence that Jesus mentions in Matthew 24.
Les says that the first horse with a bow and no arrows, taking peace from the earth, matches Jesus' words about wars and rumors of wars. He correlates the red horse with Matthew 24:7, where nation rises against nation and kingdom against kingdom. He also points out that Jesus foretold all these things were just the beginning of sorrows.
Black Horse as Famine
Les uses the black horse to teach world famine and runaway inflation, where a worker's full day wages only buys bread for the next day.
Matthew 24 Correlation
Les connects the first horse to wars and rumors of wars, the red horse to nation rising against nation, and the famine horse to inflation and food rationing.
Red Horse as Russian Invasion
Les says he thinks the red horse will be the great Russian invasion from the north, which precipitates war, famine, and pestilence.
Horsemen as Symbolism
Les calls the white horse symbolism for the Antichrist, the red horse symbolism for the Russian invasion, and the pale horse symbolism for famine and disease.
Beginning of Sorrows
Les connects the invasion and famine to Jesus' words in Matthew 24 that all these things are just the beginning of sorrows during the tribulation.
What Happens When God's Wrath Replaces Grace — Revelation 9 & 11
Well, that's over a billion people in a matter of two or three years. That's beyond our comprehension, a billion. All right, but now you see within a matter of months the human race is going to lose one-third of the world's population. I mean, it is mind-boggling. And then people can glibly go on their way and think nothing of being caught in these events.
Red Horse as War
Les describes the red horse rider as a power entity that brings real war on the earth and takes peace away.
Matthew 24: Red Horse
Les says that Matthew 24:7, about nation rising against nation, corresponds to the red horse of Revelation 6.
Revelation 6:2: And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
This is the first horseman, which Les Feldick interprets as a symbol of the Antichrist.
Revelation 6:4: And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
This is the red horse, which Les connects to war and to a Russian invasion from the north.
Revelation 6:5-6: And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
This is the black horse, which Les Feldick teaches pictures famine and severe inflation during the tribulation.
Revelation 6:8: And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
This is the pale horse, which Les associates with the death, disease, and destruction that follows famine and the breakdown of power.
Matthew 24:6-8: And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Les Feldick uses this passage to show how the horsemen connect to the events Jesus described as the beginning of sorrows.
Les Feldick teaches they are symbolic. He uses the word "symbolism" for the horses in Revelation 6 and explains each rider as representing a real end-times reality such as the Antichrist, war, famine, disease, and death.
Les says he thinks the red horse is the great Russian invasion from the north. He sees that invasion as the event that precipitates the war, famine, and pestilence depicted by the other horsemen of the apocalypse.
Les teaches that the black horse indicates famine. He says a worker will have to work all day just to buy enough bread for the next day because of severe shortage of goods and runaway inflation.
Les says the first horse is the wars and rumors of wars Jesus mentioned, the red horse matches nation rising against nation, and the famine and pestilence of the other horses are part of the beginning of sorrows Jesus described.
