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

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

Perilous Times category illustration

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

Christian Persecution category illustration

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

Warning category illustration

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

    The STUNNING Biblical Signs From The Upcoming Eclipse (WAY More Than You Realized)

    I’ve written a lot about the upcoming Eclipse on April 8, 2024 and the very strange circumstances surrounding it.

    I thought I had covered almost everything but it turns out I wasn’t even close.

    There is so much more to this than I knew and my mind is spinning right now after watching this brand new video from Jim Staley.

    Trust me folks, you are going to be blown away!

    Even halfway through the video I was stunned….but then it just kept going!

    The amount of signs wrapped up in this Eclipse (actually, THREE eclipses — 2017, 2023 and 2024) are so many and so intricate that they could only have been sent by God.  There is no other way to explain this.

    After all, the Bible tells us in Genesis 1:14 that God uses the Sun, Moon and Stars for signs and seasons:

    “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years”

    So it shouldn’t be a surprise!

    I’d like to give you a summary, but there’s simply no way.  It’s so jam packed the summary would be the same length as the original video.

    So I’m going to give you the video below plus a full transcript for anyone who can’t watch or would rather read.

    Drop a comment below telling me how far into the video you got before your mind was blown!

    2024 ‘X’ Solar Eclipse: Coincidence Or Final Warning?

    What’s likely to become the biggest travel event during 2024 in America? Some might think it would be the Super Bowl or another sporting event such as the Indianapolis 500. However, according to the Washington Post, it will be the solar eclipse that will cross the U.S. on April 8, 2024.
    This eclipse sparks added interest among prophecy watchers because of its relationship to another darkening of the sun that occurred on August 21, 2017. The two eclipses, seven years apart, will form an X on America intersecting at Little Egypt, a small town in southern Illinois.
    Is this just a coincidence, or is it the Lord’s way of alerting America that judgment is on the way?
    The Coincidence
    The pattern of two solar eclipses forming an X over the U.S. also happened in the early 1800’s. Remarkably, the intersection of this century’s solar eclipses will be about one hundred miles from where those of the nineteenth century crossed paths.
    The first solar eclipse occurred on June 16, 1806, with the second completing the X on September 17, 1811. The intersection happened over the New Madrid fault area, which includes an area from Cairo in southern Illinois to nearby New Madrid, MO.
    On December 16, 1811, just three months after the second solar eclipse, a series of devastating earthquakes struck along the New Madrid fault line. The following quote comes from New Madrid, MO, website:
    The New Madrid earthquakes were the biggest earthquakes in American history. They occurred in the central Mississippi Valley, but were felt as far away as New York City, Boston, Montreal, and Washington D.C. President James Madison and his wife Dolly felt them in the White House. Church bells rang in Boston.
    From December 16, 1811, through March of 1812 there were over 2,000 earthquakes in the central Midwest, and between 6,000-10,000 earthquakes in the Bootheel of Missouri where New Madrid is located near the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.
    In the known history of the world, no other earthquakes have lasted so long or produced so much evidence of damage as the New Madrid earthquakes. Three of the earthquakes are on the list of America’s top earthquakes: the first one on December 16, 1811, a magnitude of 8.1 on the Richter scale; the second on January 23, 1812, at 7.8; and the third on February 7, 1812, at as much as 8.8 magnitude.

    Countdown is on: 1 year away until the Great North American Solar Eclipse

    The countdown clock stands at less than one year until large parts of North America are cast in the complete shadow of the moon on April 8, 2024, when the Great North American Solar Eclipse traverses the sky.

    The event only happens when the moon’s orbit is close to Earth, and the celestial body blocks out the view of the sun, creating a shadow on Earth’s surface.

    Solar eclipses happen about twice a year, but finding yourself under the totality of one is rare.

    The American Astronomical Society says that any given spot on the planet only sees temporary darkness from the moon’s shadow once every 400 years.

    The event in 2024 will take place during the afternoon as the eclipse will travel over Mexico, into Texas and 14 other states before exiting through Canada.

    Comet to Approach Earth for First Time since Neanderthals Lived

    A comet that only orbits the sun once every 50,000 years is expected to be visible from Earth with the naked eye. The last time the comet visited, the Sahara desert was wet and fertile, Neanderthals and woolly mammoths still walked the Earth, and humans were—as far as we know—yet to reach North America.

    C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was first spotted by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) on March 2, 2022, and is set to reach its closest point to the sun, or perihelion, on January 12, 2023. ZTF is an astronomical survey conducted by the Palomar Observatory in California.

    Comets are “cosmic snowballs” made up of frozen gases, dust and rock that orbit the sun. As they approach our star, these fragile constructs are blasted with increasing amounts of radiation, a process that can produce two vast tails of gas and dust.

    An Absolutely Gigantic Sunspot That Is Pointed Directly At Earth Right Now Could Potentially Produce Another “Carrington Event”

    – September 1, 2022

    How would you feel if someone pointed a loaded gun at you?  Well, that is essentially what our entire planet is facing at this moment.  An absolutely enormous sunspot is currently pointing directly at Earth, and it has just developed a delta-class magnetic field.  We are being warned that this sunspot has the potential to release an X-class flare, and that would be really bad news, because such flares are often associated with coronal mass ejections.  If a large enough coronal mass ejection came directly toward our planet, we could see another “Carrington Event”.  In such a scenario, our power grids would be fried, trillions of dollars worth of damage would be caused, and society would instantly go completely and utterly haywire.

    So let us hope that such a thing does not take place any time soon.

    It is being reported that a sunspot known as AR3089 that is pointing right at us has just developed a “delta-class magnetic field”, and that means that it now has the potential to produce X-class flares…

    A giant sunspot may be about to erupt, sending out the most powerful form of solar flares growing for days.

    Sunspot AR3089, which is facing towards the Earth, has now developed a delta-class magnetic field, meaning that it has built up enough energy that it may release X-class solar flares.

    But that doesn’t mean that we will actually see any X-class flares.

    At this point, the NOAA is insisting that there is still only a 5 percent chance that this will actually happen…

    According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), there is around a five percent chance that the sunspot will release an X-class flare. If it does, the flare may trigger a powerful geomagnetic storm in the Earth’s atmosphere, possibly resulting in damage to infrastructure and electromagnetic communication systems.

    A one out of 20 chance may not seem like a lot, but if we get unlucky the consequences could be absolutely catastrophic.

    Fire in the sky! Watch out for comet SW3! It may cause a massive meteor shower with more than 1,000 fireball per hours in late May

    Strange Sounds – May 23, 2022

    Heads up! On May 30-31, 2022, we might have a brief-but-intense meteor display, thanks to a comet that split apart in 1995 and is apparently still fragmenting. It might happen, as Earth passes through a particularly dense stream of icy particles which the comet left behind in the years 1995, 1897 and 1892.

    Intense meteor display possible from comet SW3

    If it does happen, we’ll see a grand display of meteors! And, even if it doesn’t, this comet is one you’ll want to come to know.

    The meteor shower is the Tau Herculids. Its parent comet is 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3, aka SW3. Astronomers found this comet in 1930. It orbits the sun every 5.4 years. And the comet will be in our evening sky again, in July and August 2022. It’s not an intrinsically bright comet. But it’s an exceptionally interesting comet. In 1995, astronomers watched as this comet began to fracture and litter its orbit with an increasing amount of debris.

    That’s why, by some recent calculations, the May 2022 Tau Herculid meteor shower – spawned by SW3 – might be an intense display. Bill Cooke, who leads NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office, said:

    “This is going to be an all or nothing event. If the debris from SW3 was traveling more than 220 miles per hour (354 kph) when it separated from the comet, we might see a nice meteor shower. If the debris had slower ejection speeds, then nothing will make it to Earth and there will be no meteors from this comet.”

    Upcoming ‘Blood Moon’ on May 15th could be 2022’s top astronomy event, Will happen a day after anniversary of Israel’s Independence

    Ricky Scaparo – April 30, 2022

    (OPINION) One of the top astronomy events of 2022 will be visible in the sky over North America in the middle of May as the sun, Earth and moon align to create a total lunar eclipse.

    The moon will pass through the Earth’s shadow on the night of Sunday, May 15, into Monday, May 16, a spectacular event that does not require any special equipment to see, just cloud-free conditions. A total lunar eclipse is sometimes referred to as a “Blood Moon” due to the moon changing color to dark red or rusty orange during the height of the event.

    According to Accuweather, The start of the eclipse will not be visible along the West Coast, but the moon will rise in time for residents from Seattle to San Diego to see the best part of the eclipse when the moon takes on an unusual color. People can use the free AccuWeather app to get the cloud forecast for their area leading up to the highly-anticipated event.

    Another interesting observation is the timing of this event which will literally take place a day after the national day of Israel, commemorating the Israeli Declaration of Independence on May 14, 1948. At midnight on May 14, 1948, the Provisional Government of Israel proclaimed a new State of Israel. On that same date, the United States, in the person of President Truman, recognized the provisional Jewish government as the de facto authority of the Jewish state which also fulfilled the prophecy given by Isaiah the Prophet:

    “Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son. Who has ever heard of such a thing? Who has ever seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children.” Isaiah 66:7-8

    Don’t look up! Apocalypse-level asteroid to fly past Earth this month

    AARON REICH – January 3, 2022

    A massive kilometer-sized asteroid is set to fly past the Earth later this month in what is set to be the first flyby of an asteroid of this size during 2022, according to NASA’s asteroid tracker. This asteroid could cause a worldwide cataclysm if it impacted Earth, but this is thankfully extremely unlikely to happen.

    Dubbed 7482 (1994 PC1), this asteroid has an estimated diameter of at least 1 kilometer, and could possibly be around 1.3 kilometers wide. For comparison, that’s over four times the size of the Eiffel Tower and 3.5 times the size of New York City’s Empire State Building.

    The asteroid is categorized as an Apollo-class asteroid, meaning its orbit is wider than Earth’s and its orbital path around the Sun can cross the path of our own planet. Further, it has also been designated a potentially hazardous asteroid by NASA.

    However, an impact is extremely unlikely. According to NASA’s calculations, 7482 (1994 PC1) will pass the Earth on January 18 at a distance of around 1.98 million kilometers away. For context, the Earth’s distance from the moon, approximately 384,000 kilometers, is over five times less than that.

    This is in line with NASA’s prior predictions, which estimated that the Earth would be free of risk from any asteroid impacts within the next 100 years.

    But had the Earth not been so lucky, the results could have been catastrophic.

    A multi-TRILLION-dollar-damage solar storm awaits

    WND Staff – December 24, 2021

    It’s inevitable. A giant solar storm is coming.

    And nothing can stop it.

    It’s been more than 150 years since one happened, and back then, damage was limited because technology was scarce. But that’s not the case anymore.

    Humanity is not prepared – and may never be prepared.

    The end of the world is, according to the Bible, to come with fire. This is how it could happen.

    The sun is 93 million miles from Earth – a fiery star capable of causing the ultimate extinction event in a number of ways.How could this happen? That’s easy. SUNSPOTS – or space weather.

    Space weather events that have occurred throughout history would have posed no danger to humans on our planet. But today, with the massive amounts of electricity-based infrastructure that now covers our planet, the danger is palpable.

    In February of 2021, an estimated 4.4 million Texans lost power due to a winter storm. According to a recent report in Big Think, in the event of a grid-overloading space weather event, there could be over a billion people across the world left without power, a natural disaster without precedent in the world.

    ‘Hazardous’ asteroid to enter Earth’s orbit next week

    RT – December 3, 2021

    A large asteroid, listed by NASA as “potentially hazardous,” is going to fly by Earth next week, the agency warns.

    Asteroid 4660 Nereus is expected to enter Earth’s orbit on December 11, coming closer to our planet than ever before.

    But there is no reason for panic, Boris Shustov, who heads the Institute of Astronomy at the Russian Academy of Sciences, said.

    “The asteroid will pass some 4.6 million miles away from Earth, which is about 10 times the distance between the Moon and Earth, so there’s no risk to talk about,” Shustov told RIA Novosti.

    What makes it special isn’t its larger-than-usual size (equal to three football pitches), but its unique 1.82-year orbit around the Sun. Nereus approaches Earth at a safe distance roughly every 10 years because of this.

    According to the scientists, the asteroid’s regular passing makes it a perfect candidate for a future robotic mission, and even a mining operation – it is believed to be rich in nickel, iron, and cobalt.

    Despite currently posing no threat, Nereus is closely monitored by space agencies to make sure it does not deviate from its path.
