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.

    Connecticut man accused of drowning his mother to silence ‘the demons’ is found dead in his cell

    A Connecticut man who told police he killed his mother in order to silence “demons” that were hounding him was found dead in his cell on Monday.

    34-year-old Eric Meagan was arrested in June after calling police and telling them that he had killed 56-year-old Victoria Palmer, his mother. Her lifeless body was found in the Still River near Harrybroke Park in New Milford.

    Meagan was found dead in his cell at about 3:30 in the morning at the Garner Correctional Institution in Newtown, according to officials from the Connecticut Department of Correction.

    The man was alone in his cell and was found with a ligature around his neck.

    Paramedics attempted to revive him but were unsuccessful, a CDC official said.

    A criminal complaint had previously documented what Meagan told police about the death of his mother. He allegedly said that he was on a walk with her when he got her into a headlock and submerged her head in the Still River for about ten minutes until she died.

    “I had to do it to make the demons stop,” he allegedly told police later.

    Meagan had a history of mental illness and allegedly told police that he had been “tormented” by demons before he killed his mother.

    Roving gang of baseball bat-wielding kids targets mothers and nannies on school runs in San Francisco

    Democratic Mayor London Breed recently took issue with the characterization of her city as a dangerous cesspool that is fast driving away business, stating, “San Francisco is a major city and it has challenges.”

    Among the leftist-controlled city’s latest challenges is a roving gang of baseball bat-wielding kids that targets mothers and nannies trying to pick up children from school.

    The San Francisco Chronicle reported that a group of adolescents is likely responsible for the attacks on at least 11 women in the city’s Noe Valley, also called “stroller valley” on account of the preponderance of young families still living there.

    Thomas Harvey, captain of the San Francisco Police Department’s Mission Station, indicated that the ski mask-clad suspects smashed and robbed their victims in broad daylight then used a stolen car as a getaway vehicle.

    A woman who identified herself only as CW told the Telegraph that police — whose force is greatly understaffed — appeared to have “zero interest” in investigating her attack. She had been thrown to the ground and robbed while attempting to pick up her daughter from the nursery.

    One juvenile male was detained Thursday, though the others remain at large.

    Rafael Mandelman, a Democratic member of the city’s governing San Francisco Board of Supervisors, attributed the trend of children “doing these really awful things” in part to kids’ removal from schools during the pandemic, which teachers’ unions pushed for.

    ‘We Need to Act Fast’: Disney+ Green Lights New Show About Girl Falling in Love With the Devil

    The family-friendly entertainment organization MovieGuide is sounding the alarm about a new campaign against an upcoming Disney+ that features a teenage girl’s love affair with Satan.

    The streaming platform has given the green light to start production on a new German original series titled Pauline. According to Deadline, the series follows an 18-year-old girl becomes pregnant after a one-night stand with the devil.

    The series’ creators, who are behind Netflix’s “How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast),” say the project is “very close” to their hearts.

    “For a long time, the series has been and still remains a project very close to our hearts,” Philipp Käßbohrer and Matthias Murmann said. “We’re thrilled that Disney+ loves this coming-of-age story as much as we do and that we’ve now been able to begin filming with such an amazing cast and crew.”

    Lately, Disney’s “coming-of-age” films have been out of touch with what parents want their kids to watch. They often push content with themes around witchcraft, sex, and violence.

    Last year, the company lost over $100 million each for their animated movies, “Light Year” and “Strange World,” which depicted same-sex relationships on screen.

    Movieguide chairman and founder Ted Baehr, is calling on parents to petition Disney+ to stop the release of “Pauline” on the platform.

    “We can’t let this twisted and disturbing content corrupt our children’s values and beliefs,” he shared.

    “Let me be clear. Pauline is not just another piece of entertainment,” Baehr added. “Horrifically, this series even portrays Satan as a romantic partner! By normalizing and promoting such a relationship, Pauline sends a dangerous message to young viewers that associating with demons, Satan, and evil is acceptable and even desirable!”

    The largest teachers union in America recommended educators include ‘Gender Queer’ in their summer reading

    The National Education Association (NEA) on Monday recommended that teachers include the controversial book “Gender Queer” on their summer reading lists.

    The book was featured in the NEA’s “Great Summer Reads for Educators!” list that showcased 11 books.

    Among those books are “White Fragility,” a book that insists that White Americans use anger, shame and guilt to avoid taking responsibility for racial inequality.

    Other sections included “books to help you forget about work” and “books to celebrate or help you understand Junetheenth.”

    Under the “banned books” section, Gender Queer is recommended as a reading.

    “Gender Queer” has as courted major controversy among America parents for being in public school libraries throughout the US and has been challenged for its depictions and descriptions of oral sex as well as discussions on masturbation.

    Fox News Digital previously reported on Gender Queer’s author, Maia Kobabe, defending the sexually explicit graphic images in the memoir during an interview with NPR in January.

    “And I honestly think the book is a lot less explicit than it could be,” Kobabe told NPR.

    “The topic of gender touches on identity… and it touches on sexuality,” Kobabe continued.

    “And it’s hard to fully explain I think what like how a gender identity can impact every facet of life as an adult without touching at least a little bit of sexuality. And I wanted to at least not to like shy away from that.”

    The book also discusses Kobabe’s journey of self-discovery towards identifying outside the “gender binary.”

    This list of books comes after the president of the National Education Association declared that racial and social justice is a “Pillar of the NEA’s efforts.”

    Trans Barbie dolls? Hollywood braces for another woke disaster at the box office

    On July 21, the new “Barbie” live action movie will hit theaters across the country.

    Featuring Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, the highly anticipated Warner Bros film is projected to earn over $80 million just on opening day.

    But, there’s been a trend of movies flopping at the box office lately.

    Not just any movies though — woke movies specifically.

    Take Pixar’s film “Elemental.” It resulted in the second-lowest three-day opening in the history of the studio.

    Why did it flop when it had a $200 million budget and was expected to earn $40 million on opening weekend?

    Might it have had something to do with the fact that one of the characters is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns?

    What about Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” remake?

    Its box office performance was also deemed a failure.

    Could it be related to the fact that Ariel’s iconic flaming red hair was suddenly … replaced?

    Regardless, numbers are indisputable, and the numbers for many of these overtly woke movies are abysmal.

    It won’t be shocking, then, if the new Barbie movie follows suit because it, too, has a woke agenda, and Dave Rubin, for one, is far from thrilled about it.

    The film “includes a biologically male actor who identifies as a woman playing a female doctor,” tweeted Mary Margaret Olohan next to a picture of Hari Nef, the actor chosen for the role.

    “I don’t have a problem with the trans person being an actor,” Rubin says.

    But “there’s a gajillion girls out there who would love to be in the ‘Barbie’ movie as a girl, so why do they go out of their way to have a biological boy play a girl who’s supposed to be completely a girl in the ‘Barbie’ movie unless they’re trying to confuse kids?” he asks.

    The U.N. Is Planning To Seize Global ‘Emergency’ Powers With Biden’s Support

    The proposal might be the biggest attempted power grab in the history of the United Nations. If approved, the United States as we know it could cease to exist.

    In September 2024, less than two months before the next U.S. presidential election, the United Nations will host a landmark “Summit of the Future,” where member nations will adopt a Pact for the Future. The agreement will solidify numerous policy reforms offered by the U.N. over the past two years as part of its sweeping Our Common Agenda platform.

    Although there are numerous radical proposals included in the agenda, perhaps none are more important than the U.N. plan for a new “emergency platform,” a stunning proposal to give the U.N. significant powers in the event of future “global shocks,” such as another worldwide pandemic.

    Many of the details of the U.N. emergency platform were laid out in a March 2023 policy paper titled “Strengthening the International Response to Complex Global Shocks — An Emergency Platform.” In the paper, the U.N. secretary-general writes, “I propose that the General Assembly provide the Secretary-General and the United Nations system with a standing authority to convene and operationalize automatically an Emergency Platform in the event of a future complex global shock of sufficient scale, severity and reach.”

    Once triggered, the emergency platform would give the U.N. the ability to “actively promote and drive an international response that places the principles of equity and solidarity at the centre of its work.” The U.N. would bring together the “stakeholders” of the world, including academics, governments, private sector actors, and “international financial institutions” to ensure there is a unified, global response to the crisis.

    The emergency platform would also give the United Nations the power to “Ensure that all participating actors make commitments that can contribute meaningfully to the response and that they are held to account for delivery on those commitments.”

    In other words, the United Nations would be given unprecedented authority over the public and private sectors of huge swaths of the world, all in the name of battling a yet unknown crisis.

    Girl Scouts Encouraged To Earn Rainbow Patch By Reading LGBT Books, Attending ‘Pride Parade’

    Girl Scouts as young as kindergarten age can earn a rainbow-striped “fun patch” by celebrating Pride Month through activities such as drawing, creating an LGBTQ+ music playlist, or attending a Gay Pride parade.

    According to the Girl Scouts’ website: “The Girl Scout LGBTQ+ Pride Month Celebration Fun Patch is designed for Girl Scouts of all levels and their leaders to honor LGBTQ+ history, to celebrate the diverse cultures and identities of LGBTQ+ people, and to acknowledge the many contributions of the LGBTQ+ community has made and continues to make across our nation,” Girl Scouts of the USA states on a webpage for its multicultural community celebrations.

    In a document directed to troop leaders and guardians, the Girl Scouts of the USA details how child participants can earn the “LGBTQ+ Pride Month Fun Patch.”

    The Daisy, Brownie and Junior Girl Scout levels, which consist of younger children, must participate in three pride-related activities to earn the patch. Older Girl Scouts at the Cadette, Senior and Ambassador levels must participate in six activities to earn the patch.

    In addition to attending a pride parade with their troop or family, the document lists a barrage of other things scouts can do to earn an LGBTQ+ fun patch, including identifying five books by LGBTQ+ authors to read, sketching a portrait of a member of the LGBTQ+ community whom they admire and writing a paragraph about why they chose them, and creating rainbow flags. T artist.

    But before starting the activities, Girl Scouts must “familiarize” themselves with the appropriate terminology, such as gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer-identity. Those terms and concepts are provided by a gay activist group called GLSEN (formerly known as Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network).

    The document also contains a glossary of LGBT terms, with definitions from the Human Rights Campaign, another advocacy group, designed for elementary school children. It identifies transgender or trans as “when your gender (how you feel) is different than what doctors/midwives assigned to you when you were born (girl/boy or sex assigned at birth).”

    The American Family Association (AFA) says Girl Scouts USA’s pride month focus is another sign of the youth organization’s moral decline. The Girl Scouts received backlash years ago for entering the LGBT culture war by announcing that it would allow boys who identify as girls to join.

    Russian hackers promise takedown of European banking system

    Russian hackers have unleashed on social media a threat to the European banking system, promising, ‘Within 48 hours … nothing will save you.”

    The Russian activist groups are known by the names KillNet, Anonymous Sudan and REvil.

    “This is not a DDoS attack, the games are over,” the video statement said. “No money, no weapons, no Kiev regime – this is the formula for the death of Nazism and it will work.”

    It continued, “Within 48 hours we are launching this global company, nothing will save you and this is not a warning. I am just informing. You have never seen such problems before.”

    A report by the Gateway Pundit noted that the three “notorious hacktivist groups, KillNet, Anonymous Sudan and REvil,” are generally not united.

    “The three hacker groups declared their intention to unleash a massive cyber onslaught on the European banking system, threatening to bring it to its knees within ’48 hours’ (the information was relevant as of yesterday),” the report said.

    The report continued, “Killnet’s leader, who goes by the alias Killmilk, has confirmed to Lente.ru [in Russia] that plans for the attack are already underway. The attack, as he revealed, is set to commence within the ‘next 48 hours.'”

    Examining ‘Pride Month’: The Days Of Lot Before Our Eyes

    A Harbingers Daily commentary examined Pride Month through the author’s interpretation of biblical passages concerning Lot, Sodom, and the return of Christ. The writer argued that contemporary changes in sexual ethics resemble conditions described in Scripture and should prompt Christians to reflect on biblical warnings. The comparisons and prophetic conclusions are the author’s religious interpretation, rather than independently established facts about future events. The original commentary presents the full scriptural argument.
