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.
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.

Court Rules Maine Christian School Has to Push LGBTQ Agenda on Kids
In a setback for religious freedom, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit ruled last Thursday that Christian schools in Maine must comply with pro-LGBT regulations that conflict with their religious beliefs, if they want to participate in a public tuition assistance program. “Essentially what the court has said is that you can believe what you want to believe, you can talk about what you believe, but once you exercise what you believe, that’s conduct that the state of Maine can regulate,” said Jeremy Dys, senior counsel for First Liberty Institute, which brought the lawsuit.

PCUSA Announces Support of Transgender Procedures for Minors
Years after it mattered, a mainline American denomination has finally thrown its full support behind the crumbling façade of transgender medicine. In its 227th General Assembly this summer, the Presbyterian Church (USA) voted overwhelmingly to “Declare that the PC(USA) supports all individuals to have access to all medically necessary, evidence-based gender-affirming healthcare.” Such a declaration, coming in 2026, is a bit like waiting for the gale before spitting into the wind.

In Opposing Prayer, Australia’s Leaders Have Proven: God Does Not Factor Into Their Vision For The Nation
(Queensland, Australia) — Around the world, public institutions seem to have a problem with prayer. Well, more specifically, they have a problem with Christian prayer because they hate anything that actively opposes their vision of a society where they get to write the rules. This is why, even though many Western governments have tolerated the model prayer of Matthew 6, they bitterly oppose the suggestion that God’s kingdom should come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
On 26 March 1897, Australian leaders were presented with a petition lobbying for the inclusion of prayer at the beginning of each sitting day of Parliament. In the following months, some opposed the idea, believing that members would eventually become indifferent to it as had happened in the United Kingdom.
