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

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

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

Watching category illustration

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

Good News category illustration

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.

    ‘Praise Jesus for Abortions’: Pro-Abortion Activist Screams at People Praying at March for Life

    Some pro-life advocates were met with blasphemous screams as they prayed during the 50th annual March for Life on Friday.

    While several pro-life advocates were kneeling and praying, a young woman drew close and shouted, “Praise Jesus for abortion.” Breitbart News’ Matthew Perdie captured it on camera.

    “Praise Jesus for abortion. Praise only fake, white Jesus for abortion,” she screamed repeatedly.

    The pro-life advocates, who were holding a sign which read “Life Always Wins,” continued to pray despite the young woman’s repeated remarks about Jesus and abortion.

    “Not very holy of you, not very Christian of you, huh?” she said when a pro-life activist tried to stand in between her and the people praying. She then took out a whistle and began blowing it insistently.

    “You know not everybody’s Christian, right? You know not everyone believes in Jesus, right?” she taunted.

    But despite her jeers, the praying pro-lifers continued to recite The Lord’s Prayer and pray for the unborn who have lost their lives to abortion and for the Supreme Court and for President Joe Biden.

    The Clock Is Ticking For Humanity As A Horrifying Fertility Crisis Looms

    Is humanity running out of time? Based on the growth of the global population during the last century or so, you wouldn’t come to such a conclusion. In 1900 there were about 2 billion people living on this planet, and now there are about 8 billion. But some experts are now suggesting that we have reached a very significant turning point. Global population growth has slowed dramatically, and birth rates have actually fallen well below replacement level in many industrialized nations. Couples are having a more difficult time producing babies, and there are many that are blaming our highly toxic environment for this.

    A twitter thread about our looming fertility crisis has gotten a tremendous amount of attention over the past few days.

    Fertility is disappearing. According to Dr. Shanna Swan, humans now meet the criteria for an endangered species. 1 in 4 couples cannot conceive naturally and that number is skyrocketing. Sperm counts are down 60%

    Here’s what is happening: There’s a deluge of chemicals today poisoning us: if you’re an average person using regular soaps, deodorants, shampoos, body washes, conditioners, hair products, makeup, you’re ingesting over 200+ chemicals + heavy metals a day, all linked to infertility

    Three Years In Prison For Saying Men Cannot Get Pregnant?

    I wonder how long Europeans will put up with the nakedly totalitarian aims of the transgender movement and the control it increasingly exercises over their ability to speak freely.

    Vassilis Tsiartas, widely considered to be one of the greatest Greek soccer stars of all time, was convicted last fall of “transphobic” social media posts objecting to the genital mutilation of children and given a 10-month suspended prison sentence and a 5,000 euro fine due to his “public incitement” of “violence or hatred for reasons of gender identity.” It is the first such conviction in Greece.

    Kellie-Jay Keen, a mother of four and feminist dissident better known as “Posey Parker,” was threatened with arrest in the United Kingdom by the Sussex Police after speaking out against transgender ideology — the police informed her that she was under investigation for a hate crime because of “words or behavior to stir up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation.”

    Also in the United Kingdom, a British veteran was arrested during the summer … over a social media post condemning the transgender movement. “Someone has been caused anxiety based on your social media post. And that is why you’re being arrested,” police told him as they put him in handcuffs.

    And now — you cannot make this up — a lesbian filmmaker and actress is under investigation in Norway on criminal hate speech charges because she stated that a man cannot be a lesbian. Tonje Gjevjon was told by authorities on November 17 that her comments about trans activist Christine Jentoft on Facebook — a biological male identifying as a female — were the reason she was being investigated.

    Heads up, farmers: Biden is coming for your water

    Biden pushes government control over water used on ranches and farms

    If you live in rural America, odds are that hearing the phrase “waters of the United States” – more commonly known as WOTUS – gives you some unease.

    We don’t blame you. For years, farmers, ranchers, small business owners, landowners and families throughout rural America have faced the possibility of thousands of dollars in fines per day from the federal government in an egregious example of government overreach.

    In 2015, the Obama-Biden administration enacted a WOTUS rule that essentially gave the federal government jurisdiction over every body of water in the country, including streams and ditches.

    Now, the Biden administration is back with a new WOTUS rule that will create more uncertainty and condemn communities across the country to regulatory limbo.

    Pope warns he has seen ‘omens of even greater destruction and desolation’ for mankind

    The Pope has offered a harrowing vision of the future, saying he has seen signs of an even darker time ahead for humanity.

    At a Mass at the Vatican, the Pope, 85, said on Sunday that he has a dire vision for the world with ‘omens of even greater destruction and desolation’.

    The Mass was commemorating the feast of Our Lady Guadalupe, which fell on Monday. It commemorates the appearance of the Virgin Mary to a young man, Saint Juan Diego, in 1531 in Mexico City. The day is a national holiday in Mexico.

    But despite the current difficult times for the world – including wars, particularly Russia’s conflict in Ukraine, the rising cost of living, poverty, famine, and an international energy crisis – the Pope said he has a vision that things will get worse.

    Canadian Government Literally Proposes State Execution of Living Babies

    The corporate media has an established track record of promoting suicide as a solution to climate change, among other trendy political problems.

    Social engineers euphemistically rebrand state-facilitated suicide as “medical assistance in dying” (MAID). The Canadian government even produces educational “activity books” to indoctrinate children into the new paradigm early, like this one by Canadian Virtual Hospice:

    Proponents of the practice frame state-facilitated suicide as a peculiar form of self-empowerment, taking back the right to end your life on your own terms rather than “someone else”:

    “From early-adopting Switzerland to latest-to-the-table Australia, more and more countries are legalising the practice. It is now available to over 280 million people in 11 countries around the world. It was on offer to my mother, who recently (and gratefully) used Canada’s legislation to orchestrate her own wise demise… If we don’t claim the design of our own deaths, it’s likely someone else will…”

    All social engineering programs are slippery slopes, moving predictably from the most reasonable and appealing arguments based on rationality to the most extreme, ideologically driven ones.

    Faith-based schools should be ‘very concerned’ about Biden accreditation plans

    1. A former Department of Education official is concerned that a new regulatory agenda released by the Biden administration could have adverse effects on religious colleges and universities that participate in the federal student loan program.

    The Biden administration announced last week it intends to revisit Department of Education regulations on a host of issues in 2023, including accreditation, student loan deferments, distance education, and other issues, according to Inside Higher Ed.

    Bob Eitel, the co-founder and president of the Defense of Freedom Institute and a former senior counselor to the secretary of Education, said the decision to revisit the accreditation rule is notable because the rule implemented in July 2020 by the Trump administration was the product of a lengthy rule-making process that achieved consensus from stakeholders.

    “That the Biden Education Department would take it upon themselves to undo that consensus doesn’t make any sense,” Eitel told the Washington Examiner in an interview. “[And] given some of the anti-faith postures taken by the department in the Biden administration on issues of religion and faith and culture, anybody who attends a faith-based institution should be very concerned about what the department might do.”

    About four-in-ten U.S. adults believe humanity is ‘living in the end times’

    Periods of catastrophe and anxiety, such as the coronavirus pandemic, have historically led some people to anticipate that the destruction of the world as we know it – the “end times” – is near. This thinking often has a religious component that draws on sacred scripture. In Christianity, for example, these beliefs include expectations that Jesus will return to Earth after or amid a time of great turmoil.

    In the United States, 39% of adults say they believe “we are living in the end times,” while 58% say they do not believe we are living in the end times, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey.

    Christians are divided on this question, with 47% saying we are living in the end times, including majorities in the historically Black (76%) and evangelical (63%) Protestant traditions. Meanwhile, 49% of Christians say we are not living in the end times, including 70% of Catholics and 65% of mainline Protestants who say this. Viewed more broadly, the share of Protestants who say we are living in the end times is greater than the corresponding share among Catholics (55% vs. 27%).

    About three-in-ten or fewer people from non-Christian religions (29%) and those with no religious affiliation (23%) say we are living in the end times. (Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and other smaller non-Christian religious groups are included in the survey and represented in the “other religions” category, but there were not enough respondents in these groups to analyze separately.)

    Sex Offender Reportedly Dressed As Woman Arrested For Allegedly Snapping Pictures Of Women In Bathroom, Pointing Pepper Ball Gun

    The incident occurred in a Forth Worth shopping mall.

    A Texas man was arrested after he allegedly took pictures of women underneath a stall in a mall bathroom while reportedly dressed as a woman and brandished a pepper ball gun when confronted.

    Douglas Egan, 45, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and improper photography.

    On Christmas Eve around 4:30 p.m., a woman said she noticed a cellphone underneath the stall in the bathroom at Hulen Mall in Fort Worth, according to police.

    The woman exited the stall and confronted the suspect, “a male that was dressed to look like a female,” who attempted to flee, police said.

    NY Times Sunday crossword puzzles readers with swastika shape on Hanukkah: ‘How did this get approved’

    The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah began on Dec. 18 and will end the evening of Dec. 26

    The New York Times published a crossword puzzle on Sunday, the first day of the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, that many readers thought was shaped like a Nazi Swastika.

    No one involved with the puzzle seemed to notice. In a Times column about the Sunday crossword, Caitlin Lovinger wrote, “I love the geometry in this puzzle — so many stair steps! — and feel that it contributes to a certain evenness in the solve.” Ryan McCarty, the puzzle’s constructor, described the design as a “fun whirlpool shape.”

    But The Times was criticized heavily on Twitter by people across the political spectrum for what they thought what was clear to see.

    “[W]hy is The New York Times’ crossword a swastika?” Daily Wire senior writer Ryan Saavedra asked in a tweet.

    Keith Edwards, a Democratic strategist and Lincoln Project alum, tweeted, “This is the NYTimes crossword puzzle today on the first day of Hanukkah. What the hell, @nytimes?”

    “I personally believe swastikas shouldn’t appear in the New York Times, intentionally or otherwise. Didn’t think that would be a controversial take,” he continued.

    “I know that the @nytimes crossword wasn’t intentionally laid out as a swastika so I guess the sin here is bad editing. How did this get approved without somebody noticing?” Sam Sokol, a reporter at Haaretz.com, tweeted.
