The second seal, the Red Horse brings strife, bloodshed and war. Nation would fight against nation--World War I, and kingdom would fight against kingdom--World War II. Literal war would kill millions...but the Red Horse also speaks of spiritual declension, the White Horse movement would go into apostasy. Prophecy has been fulfilled. Jesus is on His way.
You do well by pointing out that the red horse is also a spiritual sign. The sword symbolizes God's judgment on sin and fleshly apostate doctrines infiltrating the church. The red horse also has come to bring division, and you can see that from all the divisions of the original apostolic movement and now all of the denominations. Once Satan can divide us spiritually, he can conquer us much more easily than he can conquer a unified church with one mind and heart.
It's always necessary to base all we believe on the Scriptures. One can believe what he wants, but what does the Bible say?
