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.
A Remarkable Shift: Even Amid War, Israelis See Signs Of Growing Peace
What a wild time it has been recently in this consistently interesting nation. One of the most fascinating occurrences from this past week was a countrywide shift back towards normalcy. This time last year, children in the north of Israel near the borders with Lebanon and Syria, others in the south of the country closer to Gaza, and those of Judea and Samaria didn’t begin school at the beginning of September as they normally did. The war was still strong and the danger too great.

Christian Revival: Belief in God Triples Among 18-24 Year Old Britons

‘Wrongly Accused’: Trump’s Education Department Rescinds Biden’s $37 Million Fine on Christian University
The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) has rescinded a massive fine against Grand Canyon University (GCU), the biggest Christian university in the nation, that was applied under former President Joe Biden’s (D) administration in 2023.
The $37.7 million fine, the largest ever proposed against a university, was revoked on Friday, the Daily Caller reported on Monday.

Case Thrown Out Against Christian Preacher Prosecuted For Stating ‘Jesus In The Quran Is Not The True Jesus’
The prosecution of a Christian preacher has been thrown out of court, with CCTV footage showing the preacher being assaulted, harassed and surrounded by an Islamic mob for critiquing the Quran.
At a hearing at Wolverhampton Crown Court, Mr Recorder G Kelly threw out the case against Karandeep Mamman, 33. He said that because the Crown had refused to offer any evidence to the charges of section 4A of the Public Order Act, only a verdict of not guilty could be entered against Mr Mamman.

Christianity makes a comeback
Churches are filling up, Bible sales are booming, and prayer is drifting back into daily life. Even Joe Rogan, a barometer of pop-culture skepticism, has hosted believers and Christian apologists.
In the realm of sports, this shift is even more pronounced. UFC fighters and NFL stars openly declare their faith.
Then there’s Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla.
The Undertaker got baptized. Olympians defied the rule against “religious demonstrations” and openly praised Jesus for their victories. Given the excesses of the opening ceremony, this defiance was warranted.
