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.
Trump: ‘We’re down to the final moments with Iran’
U.S. President Donald Trump hinted on Friday that the United States could take military action against the Iranian nuclear program “very soon” if the Islamic Republic does not strike a deal with the United States.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said that there would be “interesting days ahead” with respect to Iran.
“We’re down to final strokes with Iran,” Trump said, using a golf metaphor. “We’re down to the final moments. We’re at final moments. Can’t let them have a nuclear weapon.”

‘This Is Your Last Warning!’: Trump Sends Message To Hamas
President Donald Trump issued what he said would be his final warning to Hamas on Wednesday, saying “there will be hell to pay” unless they immediately release all remaining hostages.
Trump made the remarks after meeting with a group of hostages that had been recently released from Gaza after well over a year in captivity.
“‘Shalom Hamas’ means Hello and Goodbye — You can choose,” Trump posted in a message to the Islamic terrorist group. “Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you.”

‘Civil War Is Now Official’ – Syria Erupts Into Worst Bloodshed Since Assad’s Fall
Any lingering delusions that Syria could emerge from its Western-imposed, regime-change victimhood and enter an era of peace and stability were obliterated on Thursday, as 48 people were killed in battles between supporters of the deposed Bashar al Assad government and the country’s new radical Islamist regime. As all-out civil war looms, increasingly disturbing sectarian violence has an important minority sect asking for Russian intervention to safeguard their lives.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for the formation of an “Armed Forces of Europe” in a speech delivered before the Munich Security Conference in Germany on Saturday.

Will Trump’s Game-Changing Plan For Gaza Succeed In Ending The Cycle Of Terrorism?
It’s been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. That’s why Tuesday’s meeting between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was so historic. Trump dropped a potentially game-changing idea on how to fix Gaza, a tiny coastal strip that’s been home to misery for its own residents and for Israel going back decades.
Folks, Gaza right now is essentially a giant heap of rubble thanks to the war that Hamas launched against Israel on October 7th, 2023, by massacring 1,200 Israelis. On that dark day, Hamas literally brought judgment down upon the heads of every Gazan.

Atomic Scientists Move the ‘Doomsday Clock’ Closer to Midnight Than Ever Before
In 1947, scientists who developed the first nuclear bombs came up with a way to gauge how close the world was to nuclear annihilation. They created a “Doomsday Clock” to publicize the release of the first issue of their magazine. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists showed the clock on its cover, with the clock set at seven minutes to midnight.
Although there was no other nation that possessed nuclear weapons, everyone knew that the Soviet Union would soon have them. Sure enough, in 1949, the Soviets detonated a device in Central Asia, setting off an arms race.

EXPOSED: Iran’s Master Plan: Houthi Attacks Revealed as Plot to Overthrow Egypt
For months, governments and military analysts worldwide have grappled with a troubling question: Why are the Houthis, an Iranian proxy terrorist group in control of southern Yemen, attacking international shipping vessels? The attacks began in October 2023 after the Hamas attack on Israel and have disrupted global commerce, driven up shipping costs, and forced major carriers to abandon Red Sea routes – yet their strategic purpose has remained elusive. While the Houthis claim to be acting in solidarity with Palestinians, their targeting of South Korean, Greek, and Russian vessels has puzzled experts and policymakers alike. Why are the Houthis attacking ships with no connection to Israel or the Gaza conflict?

China Sending A Warning? Hackers Could Bring Down U.S. Infrastructure ‘At Will’
In the wake of an unprecedented breach of U.S. Treasury Department workstations by Chinese state-sponsored hackers last week, a new report has revealed that the Biden administration quietly acknowledged over a year ago that hackers sponsored by the communist regime have the ability to shut down U.S. infrastructure such as ports and power grids “at will.”A Wall Street Journal report published over the weekend cited individuals familiar with a “secret meeting” Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan held with telecommunications and technology executives at the White House in the fall of 2023, in which Sullivan admitted that Chinese hackers had acquired the ability to potentially paralyze the U.S. by disrupting power grids and shipping ports.Read more at: prophecynewswatch.com
