What Is the Significance of the Rider of the Red Horse in Revelation?

Direct Answer

Les Feldick teaches the red horse rider represents the Russian invasion of Israel, a war that soon follows the Antichrist's rise, removing peace and bringing killing.

What Does the Bible Say?

In Revelation 6:3-4, after the Lamb opens the second seal, a red horse appears. Its rider is given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill one another, and he receives a great sword. The red horse follows the white horse of Revelation 6:2, which symbolizes conquest. Jesus in Matthew 24:6-7 mentions wars and rumors of wars, and that "nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom," which correlates with the red horse's removal of peace.

What Does Les Feldick Teach About the Rider of the Red Horse?

Les teaches that the red horse rider symbolizes the Russian invasion of Israel as described in Ezekiel 38-39.

This invasion occurs early in the seven-year tribulation, soon after the Antichrist signs a treaty with Israel, and it triggers a period of war, famine, and disease. Les also connects the red horse to Jesus' prophecy in Matthew 24:7 about nation rising against nation, showing that the red horse signifies real warfare and the removal of peace.

Les explains that the red horse is a reference to the only world power known as "red"—the Red Army of Russia. He ties this to Ezekiel 38, where a great power from the north invades Israel. This invasion, Les says, will happen early in the seven-year tribulation, possibly even in the first few months, and will bring war and death to the earth.

Les connects the red horse to Jesus' words in Matthew 24:6-7 about wars and rumors of wars, and nations rising against nations.

When Does the Red Horse Event Occur in the Tribulation Timeline?

Les places the red horse invasion early in the seven-year tribulation, shortly after the Antichrist signs a treaty with Israel, and before the midpoint. He suggests it may happen within the first month or so after the tribulation begins. This event precipitates the war, famine, and disease depicted by the other horsemen.
