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

2 Timothy 3:1–5; Matthew 24:12

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

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

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.

    UN 2.0 Coming This Fall – Setting The Stage For Global Government

    The United Nations will meet in September for the 79th session of the UN General Assembly, as well as the highly-anticipated “Summit of the Future” where nations will sign the so-called “Pact for the Future”. The Pact is expected to call for declaring a “planetary emergency”. What does this agreement and its policies mean for the future of individual and national sovereignty?
    By the end of September, the United Nations member states may vote to radically alter the UN itself, what some are calling UN 2.0, and the very nature of how nation-states make decisions regarding the future of the planet. The UN will convene for the 79th session of the General Assembly in New York City starting on September 10th in New York City. The high-level general debate will begin on the 24th of September.

    US issues travel warning for Germany: ‘Terrorist groups keep planning attacks’

    The United States has issued a travel advisory to Germany over fears of terrorism.

    On Wednesday, the Department of State upgraded Germany to Level 2 out of four — an edict to “exercise increased caution” — with the stark warning that “terrorist groups keep planning attacks in Germany.”

    The US government added that tourist locations and transportation hubs are frequently targeted, along with hotels, restaurants, clubs, places of worship, parks, and both sporting and cultural events.

    “Terrorists may attack with little or no warning,” the State Department noted.

    In late March, Canada also advised travelers to “exercise a high degree of caution in Germany due to the threat of terrorism.”

    Biden’s EEOC Says Employers Must Accommodate Workers’ Abortions

    The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) released a final rule on Monday including abortion in the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA).

    The final rule dictates that, under the PWFA, employers with 15 or more employees must provide the same accommodations to workers who have abortions as those who have “limitations related to…pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.”

    The PWFA passed with bipartisan support in 2022, and did not include language about abortion. Instead, the law was created to allow reasonable workplace accommodations for pregnant and postpartum mothers such as time off and flexible breaks, unless the accommodation would result in an undue hardship for the employer.

    Euthanasia Driven Depopulation Agenda

    Making people want their own demise and the demise of others, medically assisted dying programs, and mainstream media encouraging the elderly to “hasten their deaths”.

    The depopulation agenda is so overt once you become attuned to every sinister malevolent governmental act always posing as a ‘greater good’ – doctors and nurses stealthily coming for the mentally, physiologically, and emotionally vulnerable – like smiling assassins offering medically assisted dying.

    The core tenet of the depopulation agenda has always been to make people want their own demise. Convince people that our earthly resources are finite and that overpopulation is an existential threat to humanity. Once this seedling takes route in the brain stem of a free-willed human being who is indifferent to evil – they knowingly or unknowingly choose evil. Not only do they then want their own demise, but they see humanity as a cancer on the planet. They drink the ecocide kool-aid. They actively seek instruction from their sociopathic government misleadership to direct their rage at whomever is categorised as a ‘useless eater’.

    Facebook REFUSES to Ban Adult-Child “Dating” Groups

    An April 2024 report from Urban Scoop alleged that Facebook had recommended groups whose titles suggested dating between children and teenagers, including groups reportedly attracting adults. The publication said individuals had documented and reported the groups to the platform and questioned whether moderation responses were adequate. The archived account does not establish how Facebook investigated the reports or whether the groups remained accessible after publication. The allegations raised concerns about online child safety and the handling of user reports involving potentially exploitative content.

    Normalizing Assisted Suicide Will Lead to a Duty to Die

    Euthanasia isn’t really about compassion but fear of decline and a loathing of dependency — and of those experiencing them.

    That nasty truth has become abundantly clear with a new column published in the Times of London in which former Tory MP Matthew Parris argues that euthanasia/assisted suicide should not only be permitted — but encouraged. In “We Can’t Afford a Taboo on Assisted Dying,” he writes (my emphasis):

    I can’t dispute the objectors’ belief that once assisted dying becomes normalized we will become more apt to ask yourselves for how much longer we can justify the struggle.

    The word “justify” is telling. It does not only concern the suffering of the person who is ill, disabled, or elderly but the suffering that person is supposedly causing to family and society. Parris believes that, eventually, for such a person to continue to live will be considered unjustifiable:

    I can’t dispute the objectors’ belief that once assisted dying becomes normalized we will become more apt to ask yourselves for how much longer we can justify the struggle.

    The word “justify” is telling. It does not only concern the suffering of the person who is ill, disabled, or elderly but the suffering that person is supposedly causing to family and society. Parris believes that, eventually, for such a person to continue to live will be considered unjustifiable:

    Is life still giving us more pleasure than pain? How much is all this costing relatives and the health service? How much of a burden are we placing on those who love us? How much of a burden are we placing on ourselves? . . .

    If assisted dying becomes common and widely accepted, hundreds of thousands — perhaps millions — will consider choosing this road when the time comes, and in some cases, even ask themselves whether it would be selfish not to. . . .

    Within a decade or more [assisted suicide] will be seen as a normal road for many to take, and be considered socially responsible –– and even, finally, urged upon people.

    In other words, the creation of a “duty to die.” Come on, Granny! Time to swallow the pills. We need your money to send Junior to college.

    Museum Claims Dinosaurs Have “LGBTQ History” And Birds Are “Queer”

    A 2023 exhibition at the Hastings Museum and Art Gallery in England prompted criticism over its presentation of same-sex behavior and sex-related traits in animals. Reporting about the exhibition focused on statements concerning pheasants and changes in their plumage. Critics argued that changes in feather coloration should not be described as a change of biological sex. The dispute raised questions about how scientific observations are presented in educational exhibits. The source article includes the museum’s reported claims and the objections raised by critics.

    Fairfax Democrats Choose Easter Sunday as ‘Transgender Visibility Day’

    Fairfax County Virginia has named Easter Sunday 2024 as “Transgender Visibility Day,” in what many Christians see as a hijack of their most sacred holiday.

    The Fairfax County School Board has added Transgender Visibility Day to its prior designations of June as LGBT Pride Month and October as LGBT History Month for a remarkable 62 days of LGBT celebration in the district’s schools.

    The Rev. Emma Chattin, executive director of Transgender Education Association, praised the board’s decision, asserting that visibility can be “a heroic thing, especially for our trans women of color in our community, who face additional intersectional obstacles of prejudice regarding safety, housing, employment and health care.”

    Writing for the Washington Examiner, however, Fairfax local Stephanie Lundquist-Arora said the board members are telling Christians they do not matter by turning “one of their holiest days into a celebration of an ideology that undermines the church’s core convictions.”

    The school board’s nine Democrats all voted in favor of the measure, whereas the token Republican on the board, Patrick Herrity, did not show up for the vote.

    “I’m looking forward to the day when we have a full dais for this proclamation, and that day will come,” said board member James Walkinshaw of Herrity’s absence. “One way or the other, that day will come.”

    That sentiment was echoed by Democrat Dalia Palchik, supervisor for the Providence district of the county. “What we say at this dais matters,” she said. “What you say in the community, what our leaders say and the outcome of that really matters.”

    “Our transgender students are depressed,” Palchik contended. “Nearly half have considered suicide. You see across the board in our LGBT community that it is the one community that stands out higher than any other demographic in our students of depression, attempting suicide, considering suicide.”

    “To me, it is a moral imperative and also a public health imperative that we band together,” she said.

    Calgary judge rules woman with autism can seek Medical Assistance in Dying

    Justice Colin Feasby said his decision will be stayed for 30 days so lawyers for the father of the woman can decide whether to file an appeal.

    Preventing a Calgary woman’s medically assisted death would cause her irreparable harm, a judge ruled Monday in ordering an injunction stopping her from ending her life be lifted.But Justice Colin Feasby said his decision will be stayed for 30 days so lawyers for the father of the woman, identified only as MV, can decide whether to file an appeal.

    The Calgary Court of King’s Bench judge said he had to weigh the potential harm an injunction would cause the 27-year-old woman, who has autism, against the harm her parents would suffer if the injunction was lifted.“The harm to MV if an injunction is granted goes to the core of her being,” Feasby said in his written ruling.

    “An injunction would deny MV the right to choose between living or dying with dignity. Further, an injunction would put MV in a position where she would be forced to choose between living a life she has decided is intolerable and ending her life without medical assistance.

    “This is a terrible choice that should not be forced on MV, as attempting to end her life without medical assistance would put her at increased risk of pain, suffering and lasting injury.”

    But Feasby said he understood the desire of MV’s father, WV, and mother to try to keep their adult daughter alive.

    The father was granted a temporary injunction the day before his daughter’s assisted suicide under MAID was to take place on Feb. 1.

    Lawyers for the woman sought to have the injunction lifted, arguing the decision by the woman to access MAID was a medical one that wasn’t entitled to court intervention.

    Feasby said despite finding the injunction would cause the daughter irreparable harm, lifting it would still cause great grief to her parents.

    “The harm to WV if the injunction is not granted will be substantial,” he wrote.

    “The pain of losing a child, even an adult child, is not something that any parent should experience. (The parents) have devoted their lives to raising MV from birth and have continued to support her since she has come of age.

    “They will understandably be devastated by her death. For many parents, the loss of a child is a life-changing event that they never truly recover from. The loss is immeasurable,” Feasby said.

    The daughter sought MAID last year and was initially approved by one doctor, but not by a second. She then sought a third opinion and was given the necessary approval of two physicians to have an assisted death.

    Feasby said his ruling did not foreclose the daughter changing her mind before the procedure is completed.
