Sadiq Khan has said Donald Trump is “playing into the hands of Daesh” after appearing to back Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign during his five-day tour of North America.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Why would the anti-Brexit, pro-Sharia Law Muslim of Mayor of London want to come to America to help campaign for Hillary Clinton? Because the pro-migrant globalists like George Soros who back her told him to, that’s why. Talk about a revealing endorsement, yikes.
“We play straight into the hands of those who seek to divide us, of extremists and terrorists around the world, when we imply that it is not possible to hold Western values and to be a Muslim,” Mr Khan said.
Mr Khan did not mention Donald Trump by name but attacked the positions the New York developer has staked on Muslim immigration into the United States.
“It only makes it harder to build integrated and cohesive communities and it makes it easier for terrorists to radicalise our young people, making us less safe, whether in the USA, France or Britain, because it’s dividing rather than uniting and because it builds walls to keep us apart rather than bridges to bring us together,” said the Mayor.
Immediately after taking office in May, Mr Khan was involved in a spat with Mr Trump over his call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the US, deriding the plan as “ignorant.”
Mr Khan said that it’s not for him to “get involved in a presidential election in another country,” however, he described himself as “a big fan” of Mrs Clinton and said that he hoped she would win the presidential election in November.
“She’s arguably the most experienced candidate to run to be the president,” Mr Khan told reporters following the speech to more than 250 academics, diplomats and business people.
“As the father of two daughters, I think the message it sends when the most powerful politician in the world is a woman is phenomenal, and hope she wins,” said Mr Khan, who as London’s first Muslim mayor is arguably one the most influential member of his faith in western Europe.
Earlier on Thursday, the London mayor addressed a global progress summit in Montreal with Justin Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister.
In Montreal, he criticised Mr Trump in even stronger terms:
“Donald Trump said that Muslims from around the world – I’m paraphrasing – would not be welcome into the United States of America.
“Not only does that show a lack of understanding and awareness of the great country that is the USA and its history and legacy, it’s also inadvertently playing into the hands of Daesh and so-called Isis because it implies it’s not possible to be a Western liberal and mainstream Muslim.
“I think it’s important that the USA maintains her role as a beacon for tolerance, respect and diversity. “I think it’s important for those of us who are foreigners to stay out of the US elections. I hope the best candidate wins and I hope she does win with a stomping majority.”
Mr Khan said he would be open to meeting Mr Trump during his trip, along with any other presidential candidate. During the summit Mr Khan stressed the importance of integrating ethnic minority communities, telling the audience that “the days of laissez-faire” integration were gone.
“The messages of hate being transmitted into people’s bedrooms means that people like Justin, the prime minister of Canada, and people like me, the mayor, have a responsibility,” he said.
Mr Khan also said he believed the UK should follow Canada’s lead and do more to help Syrian refugees.
The mayor told Mr Trudeau: “You are a beacon of how a civilised G7 country should treat those who are vulnerable and need help.” Mr Khan’s five-day tour of North America is aiming to show the capital is “open for business” in the wake of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union.
During his visit to New York, the mayor will be introduced to Major League Baseball commissioner, Rob Manfred, to discuss plans to bring games to London and throw the first pitch at a New York Mets game.
He will also visit the Clinton Global Initiative during its annual meeting, where he is expected be joined on stage by Chelsea Clinton. source
Fulfillment Theology is a dangerous perversion of clear Bible prophecy showing God bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to the Jews and Israel as He promised to do
Fulfillment theology is the belief that the promises, prophecies, covenants, and kingdom expectations in the Old Testament are “fulfilled” in Jesus Christ and, often, in the Church. In simple terms, it teaches that many things God promised to Israel are now spiritually fulfilled in Christ and the Church, rather than requiring a future, literal fulfillment for national Israel. But the danger is that Fulfillment Theology can become a softer, more polished version of Replacement Theology. It may avoid saying “the Church replaced Israel,” but it still spiritualizes Israel’s land, kingdom, throne, and national restoration promises into the Church. That is absolutely not what the Bible teaches.
“He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” Luke 1:32,33 (KJB)
On this episode of Rightly Dividing, God promised Israel a land, a kingdom, a throne, and national restoration. Fulfillment theology may say those promises are fulfilled spiritually in Christ and His people today. But the Bible says those promises still await literal fulfillment for Israel in the future kingdom. Fulfillment theology says that Israel’s promises are fulfilled in Christ and the Church. Dispensational theology says that Christ fulfills prophecy, but God’s literal promises to Israel remain intact and will be fulfilled in Israel, while the Church has its own distinct heavenly calling in this present dispensation. We see these things when we follows Paul’s command in 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJB) to ‘rightly divide’ the scriptures. Tonight we give you everything you need to know about Fulfillment Theology.
Every Sunday morning, from 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM EST, we invite you to join us live and in-person at the Bible Believers Church here inside the NTEB Bookstore in Palatka where we lift up the Lord Jesus Christ in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, and preach a message from the pages of the King James Authorized Version Holy Bible.

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
“I have been reading on NTEB for about 5 years and listening as I can to your services. If I could list the encouragement, the doctrines, the awareness of what is coming (our blessed hope) but also the last days culture in which I live that you have taught me, this email wouldn’t fit in this letter. Because of you, I am a stronger more equipped soldier for Jesus Christ. Thank you sir for you, your ministry in my life. Faithful to the end because He lives in me.” Ruthie Dennis
“My name is Carl N from Mumbai, India. My wife Andrea and I have been ardent listeners of your Bible Study and news update podcasts from the very start of the lockdown last year. In fact we make it a point to share these links with our family and friends… many times getting into trouble, as the truth upsets people. We cannot even begin to tell you how this has changed our lives and walk with the Lord. Thank you so much for what you’ve been doing for the Kingdom!! We’ve even switched Bible translations to the KJV. For the last month or so, you’ve been speaking about making end times Bible study materials available. This got us really excited, as we’re eager to use these for our weekly house church group.” Carl N – Mumbai, India
“I listen to your podcasts often. Very enlightening and I’ve learned a lot. I’m Catholic and followed the Holy Bible throughout my life however, since listening to your podcasts, I’ve learned much more. I recently sent NTEB a small donation. I’d like to do so again in the future. I’ve also signed up for NTEB chatroom. Anyways, I have a downloaded version of KJB on my computer and I follow your Bible Study with my pdf version KJB. You have offered to send out printed version of KJB if requested. If not too much trouble, when you or your staff get the opportunity please send me a copy.” Kevin W – Frankfurt, Germany
Just wanted to let you know that your ministry is producing fruit. After listening to the studies and church on NTEB, I was motivated to write witness letters along with NTEB gospel tracks to friends from my hometown who I know are not saved. I sent two of the letters to former Catholic priests of mine….I attached the response from him urging me to read the book “Prove It!.” My wife and I have been placing your gospel tracks in different places we visit. This coming Sunday, I am hosting my first Bible study in my house with some people in our neighborhood. Tomorrow evening I have been given a chance to teach the lesson to our youth church group (our church is very Laodicean), and I am going to talk to the youth on end times. Thank you so much for your ministry and encouraging us to get something done for Jesus while we still can! Thomas B
“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 – Netherlands
“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.
Listen to what our donation angels have to say about the ministry of Now The End Begins
“You are truly an end time ministry and I appreciate how our Precious Lord is using you to educate his very own flock. There is a lot of confusion , but your ministry is putting scripture in the right prospective. Thank-you so so much Geoffrey S Grider for standing firm and putting in a lot of hours of your time. God Bless You , also your Ministry and your family. IN JESUS MIGHT NAME.” T. Muto
“Jesus. I am now 64 years old and never in all the years I’ve been a Christian was I able to grow in the Lord as much as I have in the last past year. All because of our blessed brother’s work Geoffrey Grider who as the bravery of standing fast forward without fear of claiming the truth of God by the power of his love in Jesus Christ. May God bless you abundantly to the end my dear brother… ROMANS: 8: 36,37,38” Mireille Anderson
“I met you at the car dealership earlier this year. We spoke briefly, then you handed me a card and told me to check out the website. You left. A few minutes later, you returned to tell me not to forget to look up the website. I told you…” I already did. I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love. I am convinced that God sent you to share the Good News that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. For that, and for the work you are doing for the Kingdom of God, I say…Thank you and God Bless You.” Sonia Merced
“I really enjoy the emails and Bible studies! I haven’t found a church and enjoy your services very much! Be blessed brother!” Marcia Mann
“You and your organization are on the front lines in the Battle For Truth…. current events, end times, and trying to awaken a sleeping laodicean Church. Thank you brother for fighting for us and all your teaching and insight God bless…” Daniel Cartrette
“I’m a KJB believer. We’re so close to being “caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord. I have many lost family who don’t want the truth, including my husband & son. I’ve been banned from seeing my grandsons since I comforted the 4 1/2 year old with sharing Jesus loving the little children & telling him about the one who created him last he stayed overnight March 3rd. He was so excited to hear about Jesus! His dad (my son) was angry that I told him & wants me to apologize. I never will do so. If my own family won’t hear, I know there’s others searching for the truth. My heart grieves for all the lost who will spend eternity in hell if they reject the Lord Jesus Christ, the expectant hope of the world. He is not willing that any should perish. God bless your ministry, Geoffrey! (I continue to pass out your tracts & you’re on my prayer list!)” LouAnn Benham
“Love the Sunday night bible study. I want to support someone who has the passion for the lost like Geoffrey does and rightly divides the word of God. God bless you.” Teresa Carey
“I give because not many news outlets are brave enough or Godly enough to tell these stories from a Christian’s point of view. I see stories here that will not be seen anywhere else.” William Grayshaw
This is the official gospel tract of NTEB, used here on the streets of Saint Augustine and sent around the world as they are purchased through our website. We ask you to prayerfully consider supporting the work of Now The End Begins by purchasing a box of these full-color, high-quality gospel tracts. Thank you in advance!
But whatever you do, don’t do nothing. Time is short and we need your help right now. The Lord has given us an open door with a tremendous ‘course’ for us to fulfill that will create an excellent experience at the Judgement Seat of Christ. Please pray for our efforts, and if the Lord leads you to donate, be as generous as possible. The war is REAL, the battle HOT and the time is SHORT…TO THE FIGHT!!!

Biblical Christianity Stands Alone As The Blood-Bought Faith Once Delivered To The Saints While Rome, Mormonism And The Watchtower Preach Another Gospel
Biblical Christianity is not a religion built by councils, popes, prophets, publishing houses, temple ordinances, or denominational machinery. Biblical Christianity is the blood-bought faith once delivered unto the saints, anchored in the preserved words of God, centered on the Lord Jesus Christ, and sealed by the gospel of the grace of God. It begins with man as a lost, hell-bound sinner and ends with the only Saviour who can redeem him: Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, crucified, buried, risen again, and coming back. Everything else is either Bible truth or religious counterfeit. Today we compare biblical Christianty with the top 3 religious organizations to see how they stack up.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”John 14:6 (KJB)
What separates Biblical Christianity from every man-made system is that it does not ask the sinner to climb a ladder of works, sacraments, ordinances, priestcraft, church membership, or organizational obedience. It points him to a finished cross, an empty tomb, a risen Saviour, and an open Bible. The Roman system adds tradition and sacramental control; Mormonism adds another gospel and another authority; the Watchtower gives you another Jesus altogether. But the Bible gives you Christ alone, by grace alone, through faith alone — “the way, the truth, and the life” — and no man cometh unto the Father, but by him.
SUNDAY SERVICE STUDY NOTES: What Is Biblical Christianity?
What Is Biblical Christianity?
Biblical Christianity stands or falls on the person of Jesus Christ, the authority of the written word of God, and salvation by grace through faith apart from works.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”Ephesians 2:8,9 (KJB)
When comparing any religious system to biblical Christianity, we ask four simple questions:
Who is Jesus Christ?
What is the final authority?
How is a sinner saved?
What gospel is being preached?
I. Biblical Christianity
The Final Authority Is The Written Word Of God
Biblical Christianity receives the Scriptures as the final authority, not church tradition, modern prophets, councils, popes, Watchtower publications, or additional books.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”2 Timothy 3:16 (KJB)
Jesus Christ Is God Manifest In The Flesh
“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”Colossians 2:9 (KJB)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”John 1:1 (KJB)
Biblical Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is not a created being, not the spirit brother of Lucifer, not Michael the archangel, and not merely one mediator among many. He is God manifest in the flesh. Please read our excellent article on the biblical nature of the Godhead.
Salvation Is By Grace Through Faith, Not Religious Works
“But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”Romans 4:5 (KJB)
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us,”Titus 3:5 (KJB)
The sinner is saved by trusting the finished blood atonement of Jesus Christ, not by sacraments, temple ordinances, baptismal regeneration, organizational loyalty, or personal merit.
II. Biblical Christianity Versus The Roman Catholic Church
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”1 Timothy 2:5 (KJB)
The Roman Catholic Church teaches many things about Jesus Christ, the Trinity, and the Bible that sound familiar to biblical Christianity, but it departs from Scripture by placing church authority, sacramental grace, priesthood, Mary, and tradition in positions the Bible does not give them.
The Vatican’s Catechism teaches that there are seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony; it says these sacraments “touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life.” The Catechism also calls the Eucharist “the source and summit of the Christian life.”
Difference In Authority
Biblical Christianity: Scripture is the final authority.
Roman Catholicism: Scripture is interpreted through the authority of the Roman Catholic Church, its traditions, councils, priesthood, and papal office.
The issue is not whether Roman Catholicism mentions the Bible. It does. The issue is whether the Bible is final, sufficient, and superior to church tradition.
Difference In Salvation
Biblical Christianity: A sinner is justified by faith in Christ apart from works.
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:”Romans 5:1 (KJB)
Roman Catholicism: Grace is connected to the sacramental system, including baptism, confession, penance, Eucharist, and final perseverance within the Roman Catholic Church. Biblically, salvation is not dispensed through a priest, a wafer, a confessional booth, or a religious system. It is received by faith in the finished work of Christ.
Difference In Mediation
Biblical Christianity: One mediator: Jesus Christ.
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”1 Timothy 2:5 (KJB)
Roman Catholicism: Though it confesses Christ, it also places priests, Mary, saints, and sacramental ministry in mediating roles that Scripture never assigns to them Roman Catholicism is not biblical Christianity with extra ceremony. It is a sacramental religious system that mixes Christ, church, priesthood, tradition, and works.
Are you resting in Christ alone, or in Christ plus church membership, plus sacraments, plus confession, plus penance, and plus religious performance? If Christ’s work on the cross was finished, then nothing needs to be added to it.
“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished:”John 19:30 (KJB)
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”Galatians 1:8 (KJB)
Mormonism, officially The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, uses biblical language, speaks of Jesus Christ, and presents itself as Christian, but its doctrine of God, Jesus Christ, Scripture, salvation, and eternal destiny is radically different from biblical Christianity.
The LDS Church’s own teaching materials present the idea of a “restoration” and include additional scriptures and modern prophetic authority alongside the Bible. Its Gospel Principles manual includes chapters on “Prophets of God,” “Scriptures,” “The Church of Jesus Christ Today,” “Temple Work and Family History,” “Eternal Marriage,” and “Exaltation.” LDS materials define exaltation as the highest state of glory and connect it with man’s potential to become like Heavenly Father.
Difference In Authority
Biblical Christianity: The Bible is sufficient.
Mormonism: The Bible is joined with the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, and continuing prophetic revelation.
That is a major divide. Biblical Christianity does not need a later “restoration” because the faith was once delivered.
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”Jude 1:3 (KJB)
Difference In The Nature Of God
Biblical Christianity: There is one eternal God.
“Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.”Psalm 90:2 (KJB)
Mormonism: God is understood in a way that allows for exaltation, eternal progression, and humans becoming like God. LDS materials describe becoming like God as central to their gospel understanding.
Difference In Jesus Christ
Biblical Christianity: Jesus Christ is the eternal Word, God manifest in the flesh.
“And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.”John 20:28 (KJB)
Mormonism: Jesus is honored, but Mormon doctrine places Him within a broader framework of premortal existence, heavenly parents, spirit children, exaltation, and restored temple ordinances that is foreign to the Bible.
Difference In Salvation And Eternal Life
Biblical Christianity: Salvation is a free gift by grace through faith.
Mormonism: Full exaltation is connected to faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the Holy Ghost, obedience, temple ordinances, and eternal marriage.
Biblical Christianity says the believer is complete in Christ.
“And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:”Colossians 2:10 (KJB)
Mormonism is not merely another Christian denomination. It is another gospel with another authority structure, another view of God, and another view of eternal destiny. Is your faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ, or in a restored church, modern prophets, temple ordinances, and becoming exalted?
The biblical gospel does not need to be restored by Joseph Smith. It needs to be believed.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved,”1 Corinthians 15:1,2 (KJB)
“For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached,”2 Corinthians 11:4 (KJB)
Jehovah’s Witnesses use Bible terminology, speak much about Jehovah, and are known for door-to-door evangelism, but they deny core biblical Christianity by rejecting the deity of Jesus Christ, denying the Trinity, altering the doctrine of salvation, and submitting Scripture to Watchtower interpretation.
Jehovah’s Witness teaching identifies Jesus Christ as Michael the archangel; JW.org says Jesus has “an archangel’s voice” because “he is the archangel, Michael.” Watchtower material also states, “Jesus Christ is Michael the archangel.”
Difference In Jesus Christ
Biblical Christianity: Jesus Christ is God.
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”Isaiah 9:6 (KJB)
Jehovah’s Witnesses: Jesus is not Almighty God, but a created being identified as Michael the archangel. That is not a small ‘doctrinal disagreement’. That is another Jesus.
Difference In The Godhead
Biblical Christianity: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are one God.
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”1 John 5:7 (KJB)
Jehovah’s Witnesses: They reject the Trinity and deny the full deity of Jesus Christ and the personhood of the Holy Ghost.
Difference In Salvation
Biblical Christianity: Salvation is by grace through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:”Colossians 1:14 (KJB)
Jehovah’s Witnesses: Salvation is connected to association with Jehovah’s organization, endurance, obedience, and works. Biblically, good works follow salvation; they do not purchase it.
Difference In Final Destiny
Biblical Christianity: The saved are with Christ, and the lost face real judgment.
“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”Revelation 20:15 (KJB)
Jehovah’s Witnesses: They teach a distinction involving the 144,000 and an earthly hope for others, along with rejection of eternal conscious punishment as historically taught in biblical Christianity. Jehovah’s Witnesses do not simply have a different translation or a different denominational structure. They preach another Jesus.
Is Jesus Christ your Lord and your God, or merely an exalted creature? A created Jesus cannot save sinners. Only the eternal Son of God can redeem by His blood.
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”Acts 4:12 (KJB)
A sinner does not need Rome’s sacraments, Joseph Smith’s restoration, or the Watchtower’s organization. A sinner needs the Lord Jesus Christ, His shed blood, and the gospel of the grace of God.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,”Acts 16:31 (KJB)

Fulfillment Theology Versus Dispensational Truth Shows The Critical Difference Between Spiritualizing Israel And Rightly Dividing Scripture
Fulfillment theology is the belief that the promises, prophecies, covenants, and kingdom expectations in the Old Testament are “fulfilled” in Jesus Christ and, often, in the Church. In simple terms, it teaches that many things God promised to Israel are now spiritually fulfilled in Christ and the Church, rather than requiring a future, literal fulfillment for national Israel. But the danger is that Fulfillment Theology can become a softer, more polished version of Replacement Theology. It may avoid saying “the Church replaced Israel,” but it still spiritualizes Israel’s land, kingdom, throne, and national restoration promises into the Church. That is absolutely not what the Bible teaches.
“He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”Luke 1:32,33 (KJB)
God promised Israel a land, a kingdom, a throne, and national restoration. Fulfillment theology may say those promises are fulfilled spiritually in Christ and His people today. But the Bible says those promises still await literal fulfillment for Israel in the future kingdom. Fulfillment theology says that Israel’s promises are fulfilled in Christ and the Church. Dispensational theology says that Christ fulfills prophecy, but God’s literal promises to Israel remain intact and will be fulfilled in Israel, while the Church has its own distinct heavenly calling in this present dispensation. We see these things when we follows Paul’s command in 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJB) to ‘rightly divide’ the scriptures. If you don’t have a King James Bible, then it doesn’t say that in your bible because the Greek and Hebrew ‘scholars” removed it so you wouldn’t know to do it. This is why we stick with the God-honored King James Authorzied Version Holy Bible.
The Main Biblical Differences Between Fulfillment Theology And Dispensational Theology
“Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:”1 Corinthians 10:32 (KJB)
The Bible recognizes three distinct classes of people in God’s dealings: the Jews, the Gentiles, and the church of God. Fulfillment theology tends to merge those distinctions by teaching that Israel’s promises are fulfilled spiritually in Christ and the Church. Dispensational theology rightly divides the word of truth and keeps God’s promises to Israel, the Church, and the nations in their proper biblical places. These three groups are not the same, they never were the same, and they will never be the same.
I. The Difference In How Each System Views Israel
“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” Romans 11:25 (KJB)
“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:” Romans 11:26 (KJB)
“For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.”Romans 11:27 (KJB)
“As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes.”Romans 11:28 (KJB)
“For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.”Romans 11:29 (KJB)
Fulfillment theology says Israel’s promises are fulfilled in Christ and applied spiritually to the Church. Dispensational theology says Israel is presently blinded in part, but not permanently cast away. God still has a future national restoration for Israel because “the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” But Israel’s unbelief did not cancel God’s covenant promises. God’s dealings with Israel are paused during this present dispensation, not abolished. The Church has not replaced Israel.
Do not become “wise in your own conceits” by spiritualizing away what God clearly and plainly promised to Israel.
II. The Difference In How Each System Views The Church
“For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,”Ephesians 3:1 (KJB)
“If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:” Ephesians 3:2 (KJB)
“How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, “Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)”Ephesians 3:3,4 (KJB)
“Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;”Ephesians 3:5 (KJB)
“That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:”Ephesians 3:6 (KJB)
Fulfillment theology often views the Church as the continuation or fulfillment of Israel. Dispensational theology teaches that the Church is a mystery body revealed through Paul, made up of saved Jews and Gentiles in one body during “the dispensation of the grace of God.” The Church was not the subject of Old Testament prophecy in the same way Israel’s kingdom promises were. It was a mystery “not made known” in other ages. The Church is not Israel improved, Israel expanded, Israel spiritualized or Israel completed. The Church is the body of Christ, disctinct and seperate from the Jews and the nation of Israel.
III. The Difference In How Each System Views The Kingdom
“When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?”Acts 1:6 (KJB)
“And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.”Acts 1:7 (KJB)
Fulfillment theology often says the kingdom promises are fulfilled spiritually now through Christ’s reign in the Church. Dispensational theology says the kingdom will be literally restored to Israel in God’s appointed time. Notice carefully: the Lord Jesus did not rebuke the apostles for expecting the kingdom to be restored to Israel. He corrected their timing, not their expectation.
“Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.”Matthew 21:43 (KJB)
The kingdom of Heaven is a literal, visible, Jewish, Davidic, and earthly kingdom. Christ will reign, Israel will be restored, and the promises of God will be fulfilled exactly as spoken. The kingdom of God is a spiritual kingdom, given to the Gentile Church, and you must be born again to enter into it.
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”John 3:3 (KJB)
IV. The Difference In How Each System Handles Prophecy
“Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:”1 Corinthians 10:32 (KJB)
Fulfillment theology often uses a spiritualizing method: land becomes heaven, Israel becomes the Church, David’s throne becomes Christ’s present spiritual rule, and national promises become general Christian blessings.
Dispensational theology uses a literal, grammatical, historical reading unless the Bible itself indicates otherwise. Israel means Israel. Jerusalem means Jerusalem. David’s throne means David’s throne. The Church means the Church.
Remember to always ask this one key question when reading prophecy:To whom is God speaking? Is He speaking to Israel? The nations? The Church? Tribulation saints? The apostles? Paul? The answer matters. If you miss who God is speaking to, you will invariably arrive at the wrong conclusion.
A merged people of God, where Israel’s national future is minimized or spiritualized.
A present spiritual kingdom emphasis, often at the expense of a future literal kingdom.
A tendency to make the Church the heir of Israel’s covenants.
A prophetic system where many plain promises lose their literal force.
Dispensational Theology Produces:
A clear distinction between Israel, the Gentiles, and the Church.
A future restoration of Israel.
A literal Second Coming and earthly kingdom.
A proper understanding of Paul’s gospel, Paul’s apostleship, and the mystery of the body of Christ.A Bible that remains clear when rightly divided.
The issue is not whether Christ fulfills Scripture. He absolutely does. The question is whether Christ’s fulfillment cancels, transfers, or spiritualizes God’s literal promises to Israel. Dispensational theology says no. Christ is Israel’s Messiah, the Saviour of the Church, and the coming King over all the earth. Fulfillment theology often compresses those truths into one spiritualized program. Right division lets every truth stand in its own place.
Hold the line where the Bible holds it:Israel is Israel, the Church is the Church, and the Kingdom is the Kingdom. When those distinctions are lost, prophecy collapses into confusion. When they are kept, the Bible opens up exactly as God wrote it. We invite to join our online Radio Bible Studies every Sunday Night from 7:00 – 9:00 PM EST.
Listen as recent Roman Catholic convert Carrie Prejean Boller and Tucker Carlson declare that “Christians are the new chosen people” and that the “land of Israel has become meaningless”. This is not only heresy, this is Replacement Theology at it’s finest. Sadly, this belief is… pic.twitter.com/eJvhOyEfjQ
