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.
‘Evil and disgusting’: Days-long Israeli LGBT festival planned near Sodom prompts biblical backlash
The Israeli government announced on Monday that this June, “the Dead Sea becomes Pride Land, the biggest LGBTQ+ festival ever in the Middle East,” adding that “Pride rises at the lowest place on earth.”

The Left Funds The KKK?
Apparently, one of the most powerful leftist charities in the world has been donating money to groups like the Ku Klux Klan.

‘America Reads the Bible’ Kicks Off in D.C. in Record-Breaking Fashion
Right now, the nation’s capital is in the middle of accomplishing something that only 17% of Americans say they’ve done: reading the Bible from cover to cover. For 12 hours a day — from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (EST) — until April 25, hundreds of Christian leaders are rotating in and out of the Museum of the Bible in downtown D.C., taking turns publicly reading through every verse from Genesis to Revelation. The historic event, called America Reads the Bible, is believed to be the largest of its kind in U.S. history. And based on sobering new statistics from the American Bible Society (ABS), it couldn’t come at a better time.

Pope Leo XIV affirms informal ‘blessing’ for homosexual couples and downplays sexual sin
On a return flight from Africa Thursday, Pope Leo XIV responded to a question about the Church in Germany issuing formalized “blessings” for homosexual “couples,” saying that the Vatican has objected.

Why is Christianity on the rise among young men? New study proposes answers
A recent study has examined the rise in Christianity among young men in Finland, naming crises of meaning as a key factor for the trend.
A qualitative, interview-based study published in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion attempted to explain the increasing interest young men in a very secular country like Finland have shown in Christianity. The authors conducted 30 individual and small-group interviews with men, most of them under age 30.

India Launches Census Collecting Data On Religion; Experts Warn Of Significant Ramifications For Christians
India launched a year-long census this week, an exercise aimed at collecting detailed information on its roughly 1.4 billion citizens. Since the last census in 2011, India has surpassed China as the world’s most populous country.
Originally scheduled for 2021, the census was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Importantly, it is the first census in nearly a century to collect detailed caste data. This development is particularly significant for the country’s religious minority populations, including Christians, and could pose serious risks to their livelihoods, freedom, and even citizenship.

‘Fully Consistent With The Constitution’: Federal Appeals Court Rules That Texas Can Display Ten Commandments In Public Schools

A Deeply Alarming Slippery Slope: UK Police Continue Efforts To Criminalize Public Preaching Of The Gospel
Bread of Life Community Church in Essex has been issued with a Community Protection Notice (CPN) that could criminalise its pastor and members for preaching the Christian gospel in Colchester city centre.
This is believed to be an unprecedented use of public‑order powers against a whole church, rather than individual Christian street preachers and further seeking to criminalise the content of the message rather than just the manner of preaching.

Cruz: ‘Iran Has Spent 40 Years Building Its Military — It Took Us 39 Days to Destroy the Entirety’
Thursday on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) declared the U.S. strikes against the Iranian regime to be an “unprecedented military defeat” for the Iranians.
He noted the amount of time it had taken Iran to build up its military, and the 39 days it took to “destroy it.”
“Do you think that these are people that get it?” host Jesse Watters asked. “Are they pragmatic? Can they do a deal? Are they capable of it? Or do you have a bunch of just suicidal fanatics in a bunker that might just want to go down swinging?
