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.
According to Les, the red horse of Revelation 6 is a symbol of the Russian military, the "Red Army," and correlates with Ezekiel 38-39. This invasion occurs early in the seven-year tribulation, taking peace from the earth and causing nations to rise against each other, fulfilling Jesus' words about wars and rumors of wars.
Revelation 6:3-4 — This passage introduces the red horse and its rider, symbolizing war and the removal of peace.
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.
Les teaches that the red horse rider symbolizes the Russian invasion of Israel as described in Ezekiel 38-39. He emphasizes that this is his personal opinion, but he sees a clear connection between the color red and the Russian Red Army. 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. He sees the red horse as fulfilling this prophecy, indicating a period of real warfare, as opposed to just rumors of war. This is the time when peace is removed from the earth.
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.
The White Horse Rider: Antichrist or Jesus? Revelation 6
I don�t know if Mooney still does, but you remember Sigmund Moon from Korea 10-15 years ago? That�s what he tried to tell the world, that he�s the Christ, he�s the Messiah. And we�ve had others, and we�ll have still more, but it�s going to be culminated by the real counterfeiter, the real Antichrist, and he�s going to convince the world that he is the Christ, and he shall deceive many.
Red horse as Russia's Red Army
Les identifies the red horse with the Russian Red Army and ties it to Ezekiel 38, saying this invasion occurs early in the seven years.
Personal speculation on red horse
Les acknowledges that his view of the red horse as Russia is his personal speculation, and he aims to distinguish his ideas from literal Scripture.

Red horse in Matthew 24

Red horse identified with Ezekiel 38
Les strongly asserts that the red horse of Revelation 6 is the Russian invasion of Israel from Ezekiel 38-39, occurring in the first half of the tribulation.
Revelation 6:3-4: And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 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 direct description of the red horse rider, emphasizing the removal of peace and the act of killing one another.
Matthew 24:6-7: 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.
Jesus describes the wars and conflicts that align with the red horse's removal of peace, as taught by Les.
Ezekiel 38:1-2: And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
This passage introduces the invasion of Israel by a northern power, which Les associates with Russia and the red horse.
Ezekiel 39:1-2: Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
This continues the description of the northern invasion, which Les connects to the red horse event.
Yes, Les teaches that the red horse symbolizes Russia's Red Army and the invasion of Israel as described in Ezekiel 38-39. He acknowledges this is his personal interpretation tied to the color red.
Les indicates it occurs early in the seven-year tribulation, likely within the first month or so, after the Antichrist signs the treaty with Israel.
The red horse signifies the removal of peace and the outbreak of war on earth, as people will kill one another. Les sees this as the Russian invasion.
