The global community is preparing to welcome a king who comes with a 7-year throne, and everything we are watching take place is all in preparation of his arrival.

For the vast majority of people, the headlines went dark on March 16th of 2020, and have stayed that way ever since. True, the subject matter has changed over time, we’re no longer talking about lockdowns and mandatory vaccinations, but the overarching mood and sentiment remains fixed. It seems like we have gone from one calamity to another in rapid-fire succession, in a downward spiral from which there has been no respite. Welcome to Day 1,337 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, also accurately called the Great Reset, Phase 3 of which began on October 7th with the largest single-day slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.

Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.” Amos 5:18,19 (KJB)

On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, we have arrived somewhere, but the headlines don’t give us our exact location. To ascertain that information, we need to open the pages of God’s preserved word as found within our King James Bibles. When we do that, we quickly find much evidence to suggest we are in the midst of the beginning of sorrows that leads up to the removal of the Church in the rapture, that when consummated, plunges the Jews and Israel into the time of Jacob’s trouble. Our plate is overflowing with ‘wars and rumours of war’ as are the cups for ‘famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in diverse places’. You see, the global community is preparing to welcome a king who comes with a 7-year throne, and everything we are watching take place is all in preparation of his arrival. Today on the Podcast, we give you a major end times updates on, well, everything.

These programs would not be possible without your generous support. Listen to just a few of the recent comments we have gotten:

  • I  thanked God for sending to your website in 2015 , I  live in the South of France near Nice and let me tell you here there isn’t any Bible Believing church at all, the sad reality of France is that is full of Freemasons and Muslims. You came to me at the time I  was going to take my own life because of my job. You’re anointed person and I pray for you, family  and  ministry because you’re a blessing to all of us. May God bless you always. I know I’ll meet you in heaven one day. Lots of Love from your sister in Christ, Paula.
  • “Hi Geoffrey and staff, Today is my one year anniversary that I got saved on your podcast!  I am now a KJB only, I threw away my other two versions I had.  I was shocked to learn of the differences and how the new versions twist the words of God, and dilute the message at best. Thank you for the fabulous bible  education and fire for the Lord.  I donate on your website throughout the year.  Thanks for all that you do.” Donna
  • “The sole purpose of this email to you is to let you know how much we have been blessed by your amazing ministry/website. ‘We’ is my wife and I, in our early forties, 3 kids, professing, churchgoing, bible believing Christians in The Netherlands.  Since two months, I listen to your bible studies on Sunday evening, and since this week also to your prophecy podcast. I listen to them in the archives, because of the 6 hour time difference. The shofar and the blessing at 0:30 into the study never fails to make tears in my eyes. We are praying for you, we are praying for your voice, that it lasts in these incredible busy times for you. Listening to your podcasts, you seem to do it effortlessly, talking, scanning the chatbox for questions, diving into the texts, from Genesis to Revelation and everything in between, I love it when you realize after 1:30h into the study, actually a lot more subjects need to be addressed! Thank you for all your work and effort, you are doing an amazing job. Although it all seems effortlessly, I know it is not…Our faith is strengthened by your work and we are able to testify in a better way to the people around us!” Wouter D. van der Wiel
  • “Wanted to send you encouragement and thank you for all you are doing!! I’ve been reading from this website for about 5 years and I’ve been on this at least 10 times a day. It’s the most honest prophecy website in history. And you have ministered to me greatly. This lockdown has been amazing as God gets us unto himself and smooths out the paths for us. I was reading devotional from Kenneth Copeland and during that time you had really hit That ministries hard. I was not Word Faith but I was feeding off his teaching. During this time I have removed Kenneth Copeland I wanted to thank you for your exposure of his ministry. Holy Spirit is truly the leader of all truths. The bible study on Bill Gates was tremendous. And I had the same check in my spirit as you did. He’s the guy that gonna lead this one world revolution Amazing times we live in. I’m super excited and living in total victory and peace. Once again thank you for the time you put in your reward in heaven will truly be great. Looking forward to this coming week. My prayer tonight is this …Father send Your Son!! DG
  • Thank you oh so much for sound teaching. I am so thankful and blessed for clicking on your channel. I have been on your Facebook page since 2011 and never subscribed to you-tube channel until today. I loved the live recording of singing, what a delight to hear the joy of the Lord in the voices of the congregation. So wonderful to hear the part about Luke 12:36, that has made my eyebrows furrow when I read and therefore I have always steadfast to not leaning on my own understanding. May God continue to bless you, your family friends and loved ones. All Glory be to Jesus, my Saviour Redeemer and King, Amen.” Susan Anderson
  • Loved this teaching! Presented in a clear contextual manner that was easy to follow along. You connected the dots for me that had previously brought so much confusion, namely the 4th seal covenant, the 5th seal tribulation saints, and the 6th seal 2nd Coming of Christ AFTER the wedding of the Body/Bride of Christ IN HEAVEN. Wow, after 41 years since my being born again by the Holy Spirit in to the Body of Christ, I finally have the answers to end the confusion. What joy and peace has flooded my heart! Thank you for this encouraging teaching of the Word.” SB
  • “I am from Sri Lanka and listen to the radio Bible study every week.” Nihal Perera

Nothing thrills my soul like teaching the word of God, it is what the Lord called me to do 29 years ago, and Now The End Begins is the vehicle in which I am able to do it. How exciting it is to be able to teach the Bible to tens of thousands of people per year. Like I told you with the first post of 2020, I have dedicated myself now full-time to NTEB, and it is only through your generous support that such a thing is possible.

Articles Now Appearing Attempting To Convince You That Donald Trump Has Dementia Is Proof That Joe Biden Is Just About Completely Out Of Gas

Published

on

donald-trump-is-winning-by-all-metrics-against-dementia-joe-biden
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

A pair of professional psychologists are warning that, despite more Americans’ believing Joe Biden is more unfit to be president, Donald Trump’s cognitive decline is getting worse.

There are lots of things you could credibly accuse Donald Trump of, after nearly a half-century in the real estate business, you have done a lot of deals both on top of, and under, the proverbial table. In fact, Donald Trump is on trial right now defending against some of those allegations. What you can’t accuse him of, with any credibility at all, is being afflicted with the dementia that has obviously integrated itself within the mind of Joe Biden. But this is a tactic the Left so loves to employ, accuse your enemy of doing what you’re doing to see what sticks.

“For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2:16 (KJB)

Verbal blunders are not necessarily a sign of dementia, mentally healthy people can slip up while speaking if they are not getting enough rest, working too much, or being unduly distracted. But that’s not what you see when listening to Joe Biden speak. When he attempts to talk, his voice will range wildly from a deranged whisper all the way up to screaming, with little or no sense of any of it applying to what he’s talking about. Biden has a famous stutter, but it’s his inability to form words distinctly that is the real problem, they all just runtogetherlikethislinehere. I laughed out loud when I read the article below, as it shows the level of desperation that Joe Biden’s followers are feeling right now as he continues to sink way down in the polls. Joe Biden is about out of gas, and the whole country knows it. The only question is can Donald Trump stay alive long enough to make it over the finish line? That’s the memo.

They claim the former president has ‘rapid mental deterioration’

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: Senior lecturer at Cornell University Dr Harry Segal and fellow psychologist Dr John Gartner have begun a podcast called ‘Shrinking Trump’ to, as they put it, ‘dissect the reasons for Donald Trump’s rapid mental deterioration.’

Gartner even goes as far as accusing Trump – who has consistently denied any cognitive impairment while suggesting Biden doesn’t know where he is – of having dementia. ‘I always say to people: Look at Donald Trump right now, because that’s the best Donald Trump you’re ever going to see because dementia is a deteriorating illness and his rate of deterioration is accelerating,’ he said.

Despite having, in their opinion, sounded the alarm on Trump’s abilities, they believe the media refuses to cover it.

Gartner wondered: ‘I don’t know what it will take for the mainstream press to actually ask the question, ‘Is there something wrong with Trump’s brain? I think, even if he was caught wandering down Fifth Avenue in his pajamas, they wouldn’t ask the question,’ he added.

Segal lobbed the accusation that many liberals have thrown at Trump: that he has a narcissistic personality disorder and warned that it’s all downhill from here.

‘It’s a disorder that doesn’t get better,’ he said. ‘It gets worse when there’s less structure.’

Segal said ‘we’re going to see… an interaction between the cognitive decline and the personality disorder, both of which are severe diagnoses for anybody, and this is for somebody who never should have been in power in the first place.’ READ MORE

Endless Reserves Of Cash Of The United Arab Emirates Are Wooing Silicon Valley Tech Titans Who Suddenly No Longer Care About Human Rights Abuses

Published

on

united-arab-emirates-abu-dhabi-wooing-silicon-valley-to-middle-east-money-ai-artificial-intelligence
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Two years ago, Andrew Feldman couldn’t find Abu Dhabi on a map. But like many Silicon Valley leaders, the artificial intelligence entrepreneur has been wooed by the promise of Middle Eastern partnership and money.

The Middle East has finally figured out the same lesson that Rome understood in the early days of the 4th century AD. If you have an enemy, as Rome did with the Christians, it’s a losing battle to take them on directly as you only cause their ranks to grow. But if you woo them with money, prosperity and security, as the Roman Catholic Church did when they conducted their hostile takeover of the Church Jesus started, you get a much better result. The United Arab Emirates have opened up the bank vaults, and like moths to the flame, American tech titans are rushing in. But the UAE is buying, not selling.

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.” Matthew 24:4 (KJB)

If you haven’t figured it out by now, Artificial Intelligence combined with human-implantable biometric devices for both software and hardware, is the largest and fastest-growing industry in the world. Every airport in America is now demanding all passengers have REAL ID, a biometric digital identification card. After May 7 of 2025, you will not be able to fly without it. Retail stores are now accepting payment with your palm, and it is a very short distance to the other side of your hand as Revelation 13 shows you.

Silicon Valley once chafed at dictatorships. Then came a Middle East gold rush and everyone suddenly wants it.

FROM MICROSOFT START: On trips to the glittering capital of the United Arab Emirates, he’s toured a government-built synagogue and a local outpost of the Louvre. The city is so teeming with the tech sector that he ran into fellow California start-up founders in the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel. Meanwhile, millions from the oil-rich UAE are allowing Feldman’s Cerebras to build advanced supercomputer data centers in Stockton, Calif., Dallas and on the outskirts of the Emirati desert city.

 He’s among a generation of tech founders and investors quietly pilgrimaging to the sovereign wealth funds of the gulf states, pursuing deals with authoritarian regimes. Microsoft last month announced a $1.5 billion investment in G42, the United Arab Emirates’ flagship tech firm, which also has an agreement to use AI language models from Sam Altman’s OpenAI. Prominent venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz is in talks to raise $40 billion from Saudi Arabia for a dedicated AI fund.

The cutthroat and costly ambition of the AI arms race is driving a seismic shift in the region’s prominence, changing how one of the world’s most advanced technologies gets built and the players who stand to benefit, according to interviews with more than two dozen investors, tech company executives and government officials that have dealt with the region, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of damaging business relationships.

Some tech entrepreneurs and venture firms once shunned Middle Eastern funding, driven by concern for human rights abuses, the region’s ties to China and industry disdain for what were once considered lucrative, but unsophisticated, investments, deemed “dumb money,” from oil states. The 2018 killing of Saudi journalist and Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi caused some firms to explicitly step away from the country’s cash.

But Middle Eastern money has become the most powerful geopolitical force in the tech industry virtually overnight. “The Khashoggi era is over,” said a prominent venture capitalist.

“Everyone I talk to is either going to or coming back from the UAE — the same way we used to swing by Sand Hill Road,” said Feldman, referring to the street that’s home to Silicon Valley’s storied venture capital firms. Feldman will visit Saudi Arabia later this year.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this year, two giant showcases of Middle Eastern tech firepower were on display on the city’s central promenade: A glossy storefront for the Saudi smart city Neom and a sleek white pavilion from the UAE, emblazoned with the slogan, “Tolerant Nations Are Global.”

“Nobody cares where their money is from as long as they can find money,” said Andrew King, a venture capitalist and founder of Future Union, a nonprofit that has advised lawmakers on China risks. “It’s like see no evil, hear no evil.” READ MORE

The Global Fertility Rate Is Dropping Dramatically As The Effects Of Abortion And Man-Made Global Pandemics Creating A ‘Demographic Winter’

Published

on

shocking-figures-show-global-fertility-rate-dropping-demographics-of-declining-population-eugenics-georgia-guidestones-bill-gates
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The world is at a startling demographic milestone. Sometime soon, the global fertility rate will drop below the point needed to keep population constant. It may have already happened.

Years ago, we told you about something called The Georgia Guidestones, stone tablets that were mysteriously set up and graven with what appeared to be the constitution of the coming kingdom of Antichrist. At the height of the pandemic in 2022, The Georgia Guidestones were just as mysteriously demolished in the middle of the night. You might say that whoever did that was getting rid of the evidence of the depopulation agenda espoused by the global elites. Eugenicist Bill Gates is very happy about today’s news of a rapidly-declining global population, something he’s spent billions to help create.

“In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.” Matthew 2:18 (KJB)

Between 1973 and 20121, abortion in America reduced our population by an eye-popping 63,459,781 souls! We are 20% smaller than we would have been had those babies been allowed to be born. This sad fact has been repeated around the world thanks to the Gospel of Bill Gates promoting his Hitlerian eugenic ideas. Take Social Security for example. All the money paid into it has long-since been taken and spent by past corrupt administrations, and the only thing keeping it alive is the new money from workers coming in. But when you reduce the number of workers, everything else drops as well. The global elites have already built their bunkers in which they hope to ‘ride out the apocalypse’, but far from keeping them safe, it will be their last step on a path that ends in the pit of Hell.

Suddenly There Aren’t Enough Babies. The Whole World Is Alarmed.

FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: Fertility is falling almost everywhere, for women across all levels of income, education and labor-force participation. The falling birthrates come with huge implications for the way people live, how economies grow and the standings of the world’s superpowers. In high-income nations, fertility fell below replacement in the 1970s, and took a leg down during the pandemic. It’s dropping in developing countries, too. India surpassed China as the most populous country last year, yet its fertility is now below replacement.

“The demographic winter is coming,” said Jesús Fernández-Villaverde, an economist specializing in demographics at the University of Pennsylvania.

​Many government leaders see this as a matter of national urgency. They worry about shrinking workforces, slowing economic growth and underfunded pensions; and the vitality of a society with ever-fewer children. Smaller populations come with diminished global clout, raising questions in the U.S., China and Russia about their long-term standings as superpowers.

Donald Trump, this year’s presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has called collapsing fertility a bigger threat to Western civilization than Russia. A year ago Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida declared that the collapse of the country’s birthrate left it “standing on the verge of whether we can continue to function as a society.” Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has prioritized raising the country’s “demographic GDP.”

Governments have rolled out programs to stop the decline—but so far they’ve barely made a dent.

In 2017, when the global fertility rate—a snapshot of how many babies a woman is expected to have over her lifetime—was 2.5, the United Nations thought it would slip to 2.4 in the late 2020s. Yet by 2021, the U.N. concluded, it was already down to 2.3—close to what demographers consider the global replacement rate of about 2.2. The replacement rate, which keeps population stable over time, is 2.1 in rich countries, and slightly higher in developing countries, where fewer girls than boys are born and more mothers die during their childbearing years.

With no reversal in birthrates in sight, the attendant economic pressures are intensifying. Since the pandemic, labor shortages have become endemic throughout developed countries. That will only worsen in coming years as the postcrisis fall in birthrates yields an ever-shrinking inflow of young workers, placing more strain on healthcare and retirement systems. Neil Howe, a demographer at Hedgeye Risk Management, has pointed to a recent World Bank report suggesting that worsening demographics could make this a second consecutive “lost decade” for global economic growth.
