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.
The Spirit Of Antichrist: Humanity Is Increasingly Looking For Answers, Hope, And Salvation From Sources Other Than The Creator
Anti-Christ: Opposite of Christ or Instead of Christ? The greatest deception of the last days may not be the rejection of God, but the acceptance of substitutes for God. “Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour” (1 John 2:18).
Is the Antichrist alive today? Will he be European? How much of today’s technology is capable of fulfilling Revelation 13? These are questions I have been asked just this week. Yet while these questions are important, they often miss a deeper truth about the spirit of antichrist already at work in the world.

The Rejection Of The Bible And Paganism’s Comeback In American Society
It’s official. Spring has finally arrived! For those of us living up here in the chilly northern regions of the United States, it often feels like winter will never end as we are teased with warmer temperatures for a few days only to have our hopes dashed by yet more unexpected blizzards and freezing cold. Thankfully, winter doesn’t last forever, and with the arrival of Spring comes excitement for longer days, pleasant weather, and for those of us who follow Jesus, the commemoration of His death, burial, and resurrection celebrated during Easter week.
The Rise of Modern Pagan Interest
What might not typically be known by some of you reading this article is that Christians aren’t the only ones whose excitement and anticipation builds with the onset of Spring. There is a growing demographic of individuals here in America who embrace paganism as their paradigm of spirituality, and as such, venerate nature and all that it encompasses within the physical world, especially during the changing of the seasons – springtime being no exception.

A Not So Biblical Worldview: The False Advertising Permeating ‘Christian’ Colleges
Many years ago, I coauthored a book called Already Compromised, detailing research we commissioned on the state of Christian colleges—and the “report card” wasn’t good. Research showed many of these colleges, which looked great from the outside, were extremely compromised with man’s ideas. Instead of standing boldly on God’s Word, many of these schools sowed seeds of doubt in the minds of their students.

Secret Plan by U.S. and Israel to Seize Al-Aqsa Custodianship from Jordan Exposed
The United States and Israel are actively working to end Jordan’s historic custodianship of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, according to multiple American, Jordanian and Palestinian officials as well as western and Gulf Arab sources.
The plan, championed by President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, would replace the Jordanian-backed Islamic Waqf with a new Israeli-created body that would declare the Al-Aqsa Mosque a multi-faith center, sources told Middle East Eye [1]. Under the proposed arrangement, Jews would be granted equal access to the Muslim site and be formally allowed to conduct large-group Jewish prayer, according to the officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The UFO Phenomenon Is Not Proof Of Extraterrestrials, But Evidence Of A Larger Spiritual Deception
Many people in our churches have noticed the recent increase in news stories, government hearings, military footage, and online discussions regarding UFOs-UAPs/aliens. Add to that the recent (unverified) report of a “Pastor’s meeting” with government officials discussing these topics, and it is understandable why some believers are taking notice—especially those who hold to a biblical view of the rapture of the church and the return of Christ. I have personally awaited this day to begin addressing UFOs/aliens out of necessity and not speculation.

Trump Calls for National Shabbat as Part of U.S. 250th Birthday Celebrations
President Donald Trump is both fighting virulent antisemitism and honoring Jewish-Americans’ 250 years of achievements with a new announcement for Jewish Heritage Month and America’s 250th celebrations.
In a May 4 proclamation, Trump wrote, “This Jewish American Heritage Month, we honor the countless contributions of Jewish Americans throughout our Nation’s 250 glorious years of independence, and we celebrate their unwavering commitment to the values that make our country great — faith, family, and freedom.” He harkened back to George Washington’s praise for the Jewish community at the time of the Revolution and Founding of our nation, officially designated May as Jewish Heritage Month, and called for a national Shabbat over May 15-16.

Progressive ‘Pastor’ Insists That The Bible Needs A ‘Third Testament’?
Do we need a “third testament” to add to or replace the Old and New Testaments that make up our Bibles? Well, according to a pastor at a United Church of Christ in California (who also serves as “Presiding Bishop of The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries” and is “married” to her lesbian partner), we do, because the Bible is “problematic.”
It’s no surprise that a female “pastor” who apparently identifies as a “womanist,” teaches liberation theology, and accepts homosexuality is going to have some issues with Scripture!

‘America Reads the Bible’ Kicks Off in D.C. in Record-Breaking Fashion
Right now, the nation’s capital is in the middle of accomplishing something that only 17% of Americans say they’ve done: reading the Bible from cover to cover. For 12 hours a day — from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (EST) — until April 25, hundreds of Christian leaders are rotating in and out of the Museum of the Bible in downtown D.C., taking turns publicly reading through every verse from Genesis to Revelation. The historic event, called America Reads the Bible, is believed to be the largest of its kind in U.S. history. And based on sobering new statistics from the American Bible Society (ABS), it couldn’t come at a better time.
