THE FAITHFUL WATCHMAN CHRONICLES THE RIDE OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN
In Revelation 1:10 The Apostle John states that he was “in the spirit on the Lord’s day (the day of the Lord).” Revelation 1:19 states, “Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter.” Therefore, the seven seals which are opened in Revelation occur in the day of the Lord.
The first four seals are commonly referred to as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The Faithful Watchman chronicles the ride of these horsemen as an educational service for the public and a warning for those who have ears to hear (Rev. 2:7).
The Church of God’s Faithful can prove that the day of the Lord has begun. For more information about The Day of the Lord and the ride of the Four Horsemen visit our website at setapartbytruth.org.
Understanding the Watchman Categories
The Faithful Watchman follows world events in light of the warnings and prophecies found in the Bible. The categories below help readers understand why certain events deserve our attention.
These reports are intended to help us watch and consider world conditions. An event placed in a biblical category is not, by itself, proof that a specific prophecy has been fulfilled.
White Horse
Revelation 6:1–2; Matthew 24:4–5, 11
The first horseman rides a white horse and carries a bow. Jesus Christ warned that false prophets and religious deception would lead many people astray. This category follows religious movements, false teachings, and efforts to deceive people in matters of faith.
Red Horse
Revelation 6:3–4; Matthew 24:6–7
The second horseman rides a red horse and is given power to take peace from the earth. This category follows wars, armed conflicts, military threats, and growing tensions between nations that could lead to bloodshed.
Black Horse
Revelation 6:5–6; Matthew 24:7
The third horseman rides a black horse and carries a pair of balances. The Bible describes high prices for basic food. This category follows famine, food shortages, rising food costs, and economic troubles that make it difficult for people to meet their basic needs.
Pale Horse
Revelation 6:7–8; Matthew 24:7; Luke 21:11
The fourth horseman rides a pale horse, and his name is Death. This category follows deadly diseases, widespread outbreaks, disasters, and other conditions that threaten large numbers of lives.
Heavenly Signs
Luke 21:25–26; Matthew 24:29; Revelation 6:12–14
Jesus Christ spoke of signs in the sun, moon, and stars. This category follows unusual events in the heavens, including eclipses, celestial activity, and other developments that may be important to watch. Not every unusual event is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy.
Perilous Times
2 Timothy 3:1–5; Matthew 24:12
The Bible warns that the last days will bring perilous times. Paul described people becoming selfish, violent, dishonest, and lacking natural affection. This category follows civil unrest, riots, lawlessness, moral decline, and growing problems in society that reflect these conditions.
Christian Persecution
Matthew 24:9; John 15:18–20
Jesus Christ warned that His followers would face hatred and persecution. This category follows threats, violence, imprisonment, and restrictions against people who profess Christianity.
Not all who call themselves Christians are necessarily God’s Saints. However, persecution of those who act in Christ’s name is real and may also affect God’s faithful people.
Warning
Ezekiel 33:6–7
The Bible describes a watchman who warns people when he sees danger approaching. This category covers serious threats and harmful developments that deserve attention, such as growing national debt or dangers to public safety and freedom.
Warning is used when a danger can be identified but the article does not fit another, more specific category.
Watching
Mark 13:37; Habakkuk 2:1
Jesus Christ instructed His followers to watch. This category follows important events, decisions, and changes taking place in the world whose future effects are not yet clear.
These developments may become more important over time. Watching is used when an article does not fit another, more specific category.
Good News
Proverbs 25:25; Daniel 11:34
The Bible reminds us that good news brings encouragement, even during difficult times. This category shares reports of people receiving help, lives being saved, freedoms being protected, and suffering being reduced.
Acts of kindness, courage, and mercy remind us that hope and relief are still possible in a troubled world.
Not A ‘Land Dispute’: Why Is The Media Ignoring The Systematic Killing Of Christians In Nigeria
In 2002, the year Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram was founded in northeast Nigeria, a band of jihadists attacked a Christian church in the region, burning the building to the ground and murdering multiple members, including the pastor.
The attack was a shocking precursor to what’s transpired in the years since as Boko Haram, which aims to implement strict Sharia law across all of Nigeria—including in the Christian South—began to spread its murderous ideology.

The Halls Of Congress Will Soon Be Filled With Fierce Hostility Towards Biblical Truth — It’s Time For Christians To Stand Strong
Is ASU going to fire a Christian professor for being too Christian?
I believe Arizona State University has taken the first step toward terminating me, a tenured Christian professor, for being too Christian.
You might think tenure would protect a professor from religious discrimination by state university administrators. You would be mistaken. What I am experiencing at ASU demonstrates how university administrators can use the annual review process to punish professors for their beliefs and potentially build a case for terminating them.

Mourners Slaughtered By Terrorists During Funeral At Christian Church

FFA Bars Christian Farmer Group From National Expo Over ‘Religious Affiliation,’ Failure To Hit DEI Goals
The largest student-led youth organization in U.S. agriculture barred the Fellowship of Christian Farmers International (FCFI) from participating in the 2026 National FFA Convention and Expo in Indianapolis later this month, solely for its religion. Christian legal organization Liberty Counsel filed a demand letter on FCFI’s behalf.
The National Future Farmers of America (FFA) organization denied FCFI exhibit space, stating that FFA policy bars groups with “religious affiliations” from eligibility to exhibit. For decades prior to 2018, the FCFI, a non-profit Christian ministry that seeks to connect faith and agriculture, had been exhibiting at the FFA’s national expo. But around 2018, it was “disinvited” for not aligning with FFA’s “diversity, equity, and inclusion” expected goals. Although FCFI is permitted to exhibit at certain FFA events, it has been barred from any National Expo events.

Residents Denounce Sharia Law’s Influence On Dearborn, Michigan: ‘Enough Is Enough!’
Following a heated city council meeting in Dearborn, Michigan, last week, a local pastor and other religious freedom advocates are accusing the Muslim-majority city council of favoring Islamic Sharia law over pursuing justice for Christian protestors who were attacked during a recent local event.
Dearborn, just west of Detroit, is one of Michigan’s largest cities, and has one of the largest concentrations of Arabs outside the Middle East, according to The Detroit News. The 2020 U.S. Census puts the majority-Arab population at about 54.5%. The city has five Muslim public prayers a day, in accordance with Sharia Law, and boasts the largest mosque in North America.

Exclusive — Nigerian Lawyer Details Harrowing Christian Persecution: ‘A Daily Occurrence’
Christians in Nigeria face abductions, torture, rape, and murder on a “daily” basis at the hands of hordes of armed Fulani jihadists, a lawyer working in the country’s Middle Belt told Breitbart News in an exclusive conversation on Monday.
The lawyer, using the pseudonym Jabez Musa to protect himself and his family, shared horrifying anecdotes from the local Christians in the region who have survived abductions for ransom, the storming and destruction of their villages, and slaughter of their families, and are demanding the Nigerian government fulfill its constitutional duty to protect citizens. Nigeria has been plagued by jihadist violence against Christians for over a decade, with varying circumstances and perpetrators depending on the region. In the Muslim-majority north, groups such as Boko Haram and Islamic State-affiliated terrorists have fueled an ongoing insurgency with no end in sight.

Genocide: Nearly 30,000 Nigerian Christians Killed in 6 Years
There is no genocide in Gaza, but Nigeria is certainly the scene of genocide. But because the victims of the real genocide are Christians, much of the West does not care.
President Donald Trump has occasionally conducted strikes against Islamic terrorists in Nigeria, but those are rare instances of a Western leader paying any meaningful attention to the decade-long slaughter in the Jihad-plagued country. While any strike on terrorists in Gaza always elicits street protests and politician statements from across Europe and the Americas, the erasure of Christian populations in Nigeria, Syria, Lebanon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and other African and Asian nations garners little to no attention.

Chinese Communists Step Up Persecution of Underground Church and Its Priests
The genocidal Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues to turn up the heat on underground churches and is trying to stamp out all authentic faith among Catholics in China, according to a new analysis.
While the CCP just released Zion Church pastor Ezra Jin as a show of caring about President Donald Trump’s comments on Christian persecution, that doesn’t mean domestic persecution in China is not intensifying. Steven W. Mosher, President of the Population Research Institute and author of The Devil and Communist China, particularly highlighted the regime campaign to crush Catholicism in a July 15 press release that the institute shared with PJ Media. And he paints a graphic picture of modern-day tyrannical oppression for those who profess Christ.
