WARNING: Chuck Baldwin Now Teaches Replacement Theology, Is Against Regathered Israel, And Is Against The Pretribulation Rapture Of The Church

Chuck Baldwin has become an anti-semitic false teacher of the bible who is against the Jews, against the regathered nation of Israel and the Pretrib Rapture.

I now realize that the Zionist State of Israel created in 1948 has NOTHING to do with Biblical Israel.
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

All of the ‘turmoil’ that Chuck Baldwin says proves regathered Israel is a fraud is actual proof that God’s Hand is doing it. Why? Because that is how the Bible says it will be in the last days.

Jesus Himself tells us in Revelation 3 that the last church age before the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church takes place will be the lukewarm, good-for-very-little Laodicean church age. Paul further amplifies this when he writes to Timothy warning about false teachers who tickle the ears. So what are we seeing now? So-called Christians who are now warning the rest of us to turn our backs on Israel and the Jewish people, some even going to far as demanding we repent of supporting Israel. They say that it is now a sin to be a Christian who supports Zionism! These people are heretics who need to be, not debated with, but shunned.

“Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.” Psalm 129:5-8 (KJV)

What is Christian Zionism? It is nothing more or less than a born again Christian who agrees that regathered Israel, since May 14th 1948, is the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, and that all the land of Israel still belongs, by eternal decree, to the Jewish people. That is all that Christian Zionism is. It has nothing to do with the Illuminati, the Rothschilds, the Bilderberger group or that satanically-inspired piece of trash, ‘The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion‘.

“For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.” Psalm 135:4 (KJV)

Some of you may be shocked to see Chuck Baldwin’s name mentioned here, and rightly so. I thought he was a bible believer, guess I never looked all that closely at what he believes and teaches. He says that because modern-day Israel was ‘formed in turmoil’, that it cannot be the Israel of the Bible.

Here is his official statement from his own website regarding the regathered nation of Israel and the modern-day Jewish people:

“I had been schooled in and personally believed and taught Israel-based Bible prophecy for over 30 years. After MUCH prayer, deliberation and personal study, however, I came to realize that everything I had been taught and had myself taught on the subject was patently FALSE. I now realize that the Zionist State of Israel created in 1948 has NOTHING to do with Biblical Israel.” Chuck Baldwin source

With that statement he has placed himself in the same category as other anti-semitic false teachers like Steven Anderson. Looks like you’ve been inducted to the Laodicean Hall of Shame, and it only gets worse from here.

Here is a small sample of Baldwin’s anti-semitic ramblings:

  • CHUCK BALDWIN HATES ISRAEL: “The creation of the Zionist State of Israel has brought turmoil, treachery, death and destruction that is almost unequalled in modern history. The Rothschild conspiracy to create its own Zionist state has its tentacles in both world wars and in virtually every significant act of war afterward.” source
  • CHUCK BALDWIN HAD A VISION: This is a video about how the Lord ‘opened Dr. Baldwin’s eyes’ to the false Israel-based prophecy teaching, the fallout he received after changing his position, how people are waking up to the error of Christian Zionism today, the lack of a solid foundation that Christians have regarding the who Israel is, Jesus being the fulfillment of the Abrahamic promise in Genesis 12:3 (see Galatians Chapter 3), the indoctrination that began with the Scofield Reference Bible and much much more. source
  • CHUCK BALDWIN IS ALSO AGAINST THE RAPTURE: These Christian Zionists who openly promote all of this death and destruction knowingly and consciously do so with the understanding that what they are doing also helps pave the way for a superhuman “antichrist” to rise to power in Israel, a Satan-possessed man who is destined to inflict even MORE death and destruction upon the world—especially upon the people of Israel. Yes! Christian Zionists are doing everything they can to “fulfill prophecy” and assist the rise of the antichrist, who will inflict “Great Tribulation” upon ISRAEL. (There will be no tribulation for the Christian Zionists, however, because they believe they will be “raptured” to Heaven first.) At the same time, they claim to be doing everything in SUPPORT of Israel and in the name of Christ’s Second Coming. Is this crazy, or what? They are claiming unflinching and unconditional support FOR Zionist Israel via massive death and destruction so the antichrist can come to Israel and inflict even MORE death and destruction, but this time UPON ISRAEL. I’m trying to get this straight. They support Israel bringing death and destruction upon others as a precursor to the antichrist coming and inflicting death and destruction upon Israel. source (this statement is patently false, no bible believer thinks they can”bring in Armageddon” or do anything to “kick start the Rapture”. No Christian supports Israel to “jumpstart the end times”, that is nothing but vicious slander.)

Guess what, Chuck? Guess you don’t know as much bible as you think you do, because if you did, you would clearly see that Israel would be regathered in the last days in turmoil. So much turmoil in fact that it leads directly to the time of Jacob’s trouble. The bible clearly shows us that when Israel is regathered it is in unbelief and turmoil, have you not read any of these scriptures? Read it and weep, Chuck, weep over your apostasy and repent of it.

GOD PROMISES TO REGATHER ISRAEL IN THE LAST DAYS:

  • “And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.” Jeremiah 29:14 (KJV)
  • “Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.” Ezekiel 11:17 (KJV)
  • “At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.” Zephaniah 3:20 (KJV)

GOD ALSO PROMISES THAT REGATHERED ISRAEL GETS DISCIPLINED FOR UNBELIEF:

  • “Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.” Jeremiah 30:7-9 (KJV)
  • “Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked: But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.” Amos 2:4,5 (KJV)
  • “O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.” Isaiah 10:5,6 (KJV)

So what do we make of all this? It’s quite simple, actually. The Bible shows us that Israel would be dispersed, and that happened in 70 AD. The Jews were driven out of the land and sent literally to the 4 corners of the world. Then in 1933, a perfect type of Antichrist shows up, Adolf Hitler, and tried to pathologically wipe out the entire race of Jews. Hitler achieved 50% of his stated goal. This led to Israel being regathered officially on May 14th, 1948. But it was a physical regathering only, not a spiritual one. So because of that, the bible tells us in both Testaments that Israel will go through the time of Jacob’s trouble, otherwise known as the Great Tribulation, because of their unbelief. And that time period will end with the Jews finally recognizing Jesus Christ as Saviour.

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:2,3 (KJV)

All of the ‘turmoil’ that Chuck Baldwin says proves regathered Israel ‘is a fraud’ is actual proof that God’s Hand is doing it.

Why? Because that is how the Bible says it will be in the last days. Now, Chuck Baldwin seems unable to grasp these simple teachings of scripture, and as such, he now come after not only the Jews and Israel, but against Christians who believe the bible and support God’s chosen people the Jews and the Holy Land of Israel.

“But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.” 2 Chronicles 6:6 (KJV)

I do not love the Jews because they are ‘lovable people’, they can be quite difficult at times and yes, most of them do not like Christians. But that is neither here nor there because my Bible tells me they are God’s chosen people, and that even though He is going to discipline them, He still loves them. Good enough for me, so I love them , too. I do not support Israel for any other reason than that the Bible tells me that it is God’s Land, first and foremost, and that He has placed His own Name in Jerusalem. Not only that, the Bible also tells me that when Jesus Christ returns with us on horseback, He will set up His 1,000 Kingdom literally, visibly and actually in Israel. Again, good enough for me, and if you’re born again, so reasons should be good enough for you, too.

WHO’S OCCUPYING WHO? LET’S LOOK AT GOD’S ORIGINAL LAND GRANT OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL TO ABRAHAM

Hey Chuck, when you read this article and I know you will, why don’t you repent of your anti-semitic new-found philosophy, and go back to praying for and loving the Jews, and for the nation of Israel that the Bible declares is God’s own holy land. The Jews that you hate so much are getting ready to go through the greatest time of tribulation this world has ever seen, show some compassion. You are right now on the losing side, you should really think about that. I would much rather get to Heaven and have God tell me that I loved the Jews too much, and that I supported His land of Israel too fervently than to hear Him say the opposite. Which is what God will tell you if you don’t change your course.

12 Times The Bible Declares The Jews And Israel To Be God’s Chosen:

  1. “Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.” Exodus 19:5,6 (KJV)
  2. “For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.” Deuteronomy 7:6-8 (KJV)
  3. “For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.” Deuteronomy 14:2 (KJV)
  4. “Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice: And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments; And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.” Deuteronomy 26:17-19 (KJV)
  5. “And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods? For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.” 2 Samuel 7:23,24 (KJV)
  6. “For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.” 1 Kings 8:53 (KJV)
  7. “Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.” 1 Kings 10:9 (KJV)
  8. “And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt? For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.” 1 Chronicles 17:21,22 (KJV)
  9. “He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:” Psalm 105:8-11 (KJV)
  10. “For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.” Psalm 135:4 (KJV)
  11. “But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.” Isaiah 41:8 (KJV)
  12. “But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” Isaiah 43:1,2 (KJV)

Now we have given you a dozen verses showing you the uniqueness of the Jews and Israel in the eyes of God, but there are dozens more in the rest of the Bible. God’s word, rightly divided, still declares there to be a blessing for those who bless the Jews and Israel, and a curse for those who don’t. And yes, we are talking about modern-day Israel and modern-day Jews, nothing has changed since these verses were first written.

“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 12:3 (KJV)

Being God’s chosen people is not a blank check by any stretch, the Jews and Israel today are very far from the will of God. That’s the whole point behind the coming time of Jacob’s trouble. But in the meantime, Christians, keep sharing the gospel of the grace of God with them, and keep the Jews and Israel in your prayers as we continue our hurtle into the end times.

Now The End Begins is your front line defense against the rising tide of darkness in the last days before the Rapture of the Church

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: America Feels Like Babylon On The Eve Of Destruction As End Times Events Already Hot Now Begin To Reach A Fever Pitch

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

While America parties on the eve of destruction, world governments are telling their people to prepare for a catastrophic doomsday emergency like Zero Day or Leave The World Behind

In the book of Daniel, we see an amazing type picture of America, as Babylon, in the last days. Belshazzar the king, the grandson of Nebuchadnezzar, made a great feast in celebration of his own perceived might and power, completely oblivious to the fact that his cardboard kingdom was about to be permanently interrupted by the armies of the Medes and the Persians. In much the same way, Donald Trump’s kingdom is about undergoing a drastic revision, while a weakened America continues on its downward trajectory much like that Mar-a-Lago missile that landed in West Palm Beach yesterday. 

“And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.” Daniel 5:25,26 (KJB)

The party can keep going right up until the lights go out. That is the chilling lesson of Belshazzar’s banquet, and it is the question hanging over America right now. While the entertainment continues, military planners are preparing installations to survive the failure of civilian infrastructure. European authorities are telling households to maintain emergency supplies. The United States Army is practising temporary battlefield interment for the casualties of high-intensity warfare, and the Department of War is launching FORTRESS America for an upcoming war on our own soil. Is anyone listening, is anyone paying attention to the prophets? You better be, their warnings are about to become tomorrow’s headlines.

THE END TIMES COUNTDOWN:

  • Today is day 1,712 of the Russia-Ukraine War
  • Today is day 2,422 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve
  • Today is day 247 of World War Trump in Iran
  • Today is day 28,661 of The Regathering Of Israel

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, today we help you to connect the end times dots in order to see clearly that the incredible events taking shape all around us are neither coincidential or arbitrary, and there is just too much of it to sweep it under the rug and pretend it’s not happening. We’re living in a dystopian end times movie, and today we roll the tape.

They Condemned The Innocent And Released The Guilty: The Trial Of Jesus Christ Reveals The Wickedness Of Man And The Willing Sacrifice Of The Son Of God

The most important question you will ever answer is simply this – “who is Jesus Christ?” Your answer to that question will determine nothing less than your eternal destiny. If you were brought into a courtroom on the charge of being a Bible believing Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? You better think about that, because we will put you on trial today. Jesus was put on trial, brought into a courtroom, and charged with the crime of being the Son of God. This is how it went.

“And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.” John 1:34 (KJB)

The chief priests sought testimony that would justify His death for “making himself equal with God”, but their false professors could not agree. Pilate examined Him and found no fault concerning their accusations, then reported that Herod had established nothing worthy of death either. Judas, the man who betrayed Him, confessed later that he had betrayed innocent blood. The Roman centurion standing at His crucifixion, who had personally overseen the nails being driven into Jesus body, declared Him to be righteous and he identified Him as the Son of God. Even Caiaphas, while plotting His destruction, wound up unintentionally prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation. What an astounding record we have before us! The betrayal, examinations, and execution produced testimony supporting the very One they sought to condemn. Their actions exposed how far men are willing to go when protecting their position becomes more important than receiving and acknowledging the truth. First, we put Jesus on trial and examine the evidence against HIm. Next, we put you on trial for the crime of being a Christian to see if the Bible says you’re guilty or innocent. That’s today’s Sunday Service message!

THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: Putting Jesus On Trial

Putting Jesus On Trial

MAIN TEXT — A prosecution that could not establish its case

“And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none. For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.” Mark 14:55,56 (KJB)

The stated objective was to put Jesus to death. The witnesses were sought to accomplish that objective, but their testimony would not agree. They had determined the punishment before they had established the charge.

“Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.” Matthew 12:13,14 (KJB)

TRUTH — The innocent Saviour was condemned by guilty men

The question before our courtroom is twofold: What wrongdoing could these witnesses establish against Jesus, and what does their testimony reveal about who He is?

 

THE WITNESSES CALLED FOR THE PROSECUTION

I. Caiaphas — The high priest whose murderous counsel contained a prophecy

First, hear what the council acknowledged:

“Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.” John 11:47 (KJB)

Their deliberation proceeded from an acknowledgment of His miracles. They feared what would happen to their position and nation if everyone believed on Him.

Then Caiaphas spoke:

“Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.” John 11:50 (KJB)

Scripture supplies the meaning that went beyond his political calculation:

“And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;” John 11:51 (KJB)

Caiaphas later accused Jesus of blasphemy when Jesus affirmed His identity before the council. We must retain that part of his testimony. The very same high priest who used his free will to  seek Jesus death wound up prophesying as to its sacrificial and salvific purpose.

Finding: The council acknowledged His miracles, and Caiaphas’s counsel became a prophecy of His death for others. His hostility could not prevent God from declaring the purpose of the cross through his own mouth.

II. Pontius Pilate — The governor who examined Him and found no fault

“Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:” Luke 23:14 (KJB)

Pilate’s declaration followed an examination conducted before the accusers. He addressed the charges they had brought and reported that he had found no fault concerning those accusations.

Nevertheless, he eventually gave sentence according to their demand.

Finding: The governor authorized the crucifixion of a man whom he had publicly declared faultless concerning the charges before him. His sentence contradicted his own finding.

III. Herod — Glad To See Jesus, Then Willing To Mock Him

“And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.” Luke 23:8 (KJB)

Herod’s first response was excitement. He had heard much about Jesus, had wanted to see Him for some time, and hoped to witness a miracle. He began this encounter eager to see what Jesus would do.

But Jesus would not perform at his command:

“Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.” Luke 23:9 (KJB)

As the chief priests and scribes vehemently accused Jesus, Herod’s initial gladness gave way to contempt:

“And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.” Luke 23:11 (KJB)

Nevertheless, Pilate subsequently reported that Herod’s examination had established nothing worthy of death:

“No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.” Luke 23:15 (KJB)

Finding: Herod wanted to witness Jesus’ miraculous power, yet ultimately joined in mocking Him. His contempt supplied no evidence of a capital offense. He could ridicule the prisoner, but his examination established no grounds for putting Him to death.

IV. Judas Iscariot — The betrayer who confessed that the blood was innocent

“Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.” Matthew 27:4 (KJB)

Judas had accompanied Jesus as one of the twelve. After betraying Him, he returned to the chief priests and elders with a confession that placed the guilt upon himself.

The response of the religious leaders is equally revealing. His declaration of innocent blood did not move them to stop what they had begun.

Finding: The betrayer’s recorded confession identifies his own sin and Jesus’ innocence. The man who delivered Him into their hands testified against the righteousness of what they were doing.

V. The Roman centurion — The witness at the execution who declared His righteousness and Sonship

“Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.” Luke 23:47 (KJB)

Mark records this declaration:

“And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.” Mark 15:39 (KJB)

Here is testimony from the Roman officer standing at the crucifixion. The Gospel record gives us both his acknowledgment of Jesus’ righteousness and his declaration that Jesus was the Son of God.

Finding: A witness stationed at His execution supplied testimony supporting both His innocence and His identity.

THE WITNESSES CALLED FOR THE DEFENSE

VI. The thief on the cross — The guilty man who recognized the innocent King

How it started:

“The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.” Matthew 27:44 (KJB)

“Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.” Mark 15:31,32 (KJB)

How it ended:

“And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.” Luke 23:41,42 (KJB)

The thief acknowledged that his own punishment was deserved. In the same breath, he distinguished Jesus from himself and the other criminal. Then he addressed the crucified Jesus as Lord and appealed to Him concerning His coming kingdom.

Finding: The thief confessed his own guilt, declared Jesus’ innocence, and placed his hope in Jesus’ kingly authority. He saw a King where others saw only a condemned man.

VII. John the Baptist — The forerunner who identified the Lamb and the Son

“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29 (KJB)

“And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.” John 1:34 (KJB)

John’s testimony identifies both the person and the mission of Jesus Christ. He is the Son of God, and He is the Lamb of God who takes away sin.

Finding: Jesus came with a sacrificial mission. His innocence belongs at the center of that mission: the Lamb would bear the sins of others.

VIII. The apostle John — The witness who committed the evidence to writing

“And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” John 20:30,31 (KJB)

John states why he recorded these signs. His testimony calls the reader to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and to receive life through His name.

Finding: The written record presents evidence with a declared purpose: faith in Jesus Christ and life through Him. The Bible will not allow you to remain neutral, the reader must now respond to the testimony.

IX. Saul, who becomes known as Paul — The persecutor who encountered the risen Christ

First, hear his testimony concerning his former opposition:

“I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.” Acts 26:9 (KJB)

Then hear his account of the encounter that overturned his course:

“And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.” Acts 26:15 (KJB)

Paul also records his place among the witnesses of the risen Christ:

“And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.” 1 Corinthians 15:8 (KJB)

His subsequent testimony declares the saving purpose of the Lord he once opposed:

“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15 (KJB)

Finding: A former persecutor became a witness of the risen Jesus and a preacher of His salvation. His testimony adds the resurrection to the evidence already heard concerning Christ’s innocence and identity.

APPLICATION — What the testimony establishes

The witnesses establish several distinct truths:

  • The case against Jesus depended upon false testimony that would not agree.
  • Pilate found no fault concerning the accusations and reported no capital finding from Herod.
  • Judas confessed that he had betrayed innocent blood.
  • The thief and the centurion declared Jesus’ innocence or righteousness.
  • The centurion and John the Baptist identified Him as the Son of God.
  • John recorded the signs so that others would believe, and Paul testified that he had seen Him risen.

The proceedings expose more than a failure of justice. They expose the human heart. Men could acknowledge miracles, hear declarations of innocence, and still press forward with His death.

CLOSING CHALLENGE — Why did the innocent One die?

Paul gives the answer:

“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:3,4 (KJB)

His death was for our sins. His resurrection is part of the gospel proclaimed by the very man who once persecuted His people.

The trial brings every hearer to a personal decision. Pilate acknowledged His innocence and still delivered Him up anyway. The thief acknowledged His innocence and called upon Him as Lord after spitting on him and mocking him. It is worth mentioning that no surviving first-century independent eyewitness accounts are known that demonstrate Jesus committed any crime or supplies a detailed rebuttal of any the Gospel proceedings. Not a single eyewitness refutes a single word of preserved scripture.

Having heard the testimony, what will you do with Jesus who is called Christ?

Christian, how do you plead to the following charges?

“And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” Mark 8:34 (KJB)

“And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.” Acts 11:26 (KJB)

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJB)

  • Handing out gospel tracts, Guilty or not Guilty?
  • Not laughing at crude and profane humor, Guilty or not Guilty?
  • Witnessing for Jesus especially when it costs you something, Guilty or not Guilty?
  • Doing daily Bible study and having a prayer time, Guilty or not Guilty?
  • Living life sober, Guilty or not Guilty?
  • Giving other people a copy of God’s preserved word, Guilty or not Guilty?
  • Trusting the LORD with all your mind, body and soul, Guilty or not Guilty?

Free Bible Program

The NTEB Free Bible And Gospel Tract Program Along With Bibles Behind Bars Has Passed One Million Pieces Of Bible Literature Given Out Around The World

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

We are beyond blessed with testimonies of thousands of people getting saved along with the sending out of over 1,000,000 King James Bibles, scripture portions and gospel tracts

The NTEB Free Bible and Gospel Tract Program started unofficially in 2016 with King James Bibles and tracts being sent out from my home to people who needed them but couldn’t afford them, or were unable to access them freely. It started officially in 2020 when NTEB’ers Bill and Marilyn sent in a sizable donation labeled with a yellow sticky note “for the free Bible program”. I told him we didn’t have a free Bible program, to which he said “now you do!”. And so we did. Today I come to you all with the incredible news that we have now gone past 1,000,000 pieces of King James Bible literature sent out completely for free to the people and institutions who recieve them. To all of you who support this outreach, thank you beyond words. This is a massive undertaking and we need each and every one of you.

“And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.” Acts 13:49 (KJB)

NTEB owns no real estate, owns no property of any kind, and has exactly zero dollars invested in any of the markets or crypto. Instead, we have invested 100% of the money we take in into the purchasing of and sending out of King James Bibles, new testaments, RVG Spanish Bibles, Ekugusi Bibles, Tagalog Bibles, gospel tracts, scripture portions, Bible commentaries and jail ministry supplies. We have rebuilt whole libraries in multiple jails and detention centers. Bibles Behind Bars continues to grow at a rate where, at times, requests for Bibles and literature begins to outpace available money in the bank, but we send them anyway and trust the Lord to make up the difference. He always does. Every time.

Along the way, testimonies of people getting saved, thousands of them, began to pour in. The LORD has piled so much fruit on our collective plates that sometimes it seems like a wonderful dream, and I so very much look forward to the “rest of the story” when we get to the Judgment Seat of Christ. Time would fail me to tell you about the hundreds of emails we have gotten from prison chaplains and jail workers who, finding no one to help them anywhere else, are stunned to find they can come to us and get all the Bibles and books they need. No questions asked, for free. To date, we have never said no to any request no matter how large the facility. All the way from southern Florida up to Alaska off the Russian border, and every other state in-between. That’s how wide the open door the LORD gave us goes.

Christian, we are living in the end times, and those times are about to get a whole lot rougher. But as good soldiers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we have been tasked with a mission to send out God’s preserved word as far and wide as we are able to send it. The stock market today may have recorded a one trillion dollar loss, and it did, but I promise you that every penny you invest into our Free Bible Program and Bibles Behind Bars will pay you massive dividends in eternity. Come help us, we need you!!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!
