The US Navy’s newest and biggest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, is set be deployed to the Mediterranean in show of American military might in Middle East

The Pentagon is right now sending a message to world at large that, even though it is Israel who is involved in a conflict with Iran over nuclear weapons, it is the United States who will ultimately determine its fate. Talk about a memo! Over the next few days, the Mediterranean region will be host to the USS Gerald R. Ford, the USS Carl Vinson and the soon-to-be retired USS Nimitz. If World War 3 does break out, America will be in pole position. That’s the memo.

“They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.” Ezekiel 28:8 (KJB)

President Trump spoke Wednesday morning to reporters about the Israel-Iran conflict. When asked if the US plans to strike Iran, Trump replied “I may do it, I may not do it,” adding “nobody knows what I’m gonna do.” That’s about sums it up, no one knows just what Donald Trump is going to do, including Donald Trump. Commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) Gen. Michael Kurilla met with US President Donald Trump and presented him with military options regarding Iran, a source familiar with the details told The Jerusalem Post Wednesday. At this point, a US strike on Iran is all but certain.

US moves its newest super carrier USS Gerald Ford to Mediterranean as massive military hardware buildup near Iran continues

FROM THE NY POST: The USS Ford, America’s flagship 1,100-foot nuclear-powered carrier, is expected to be sent to Europe as soon as next week, making it the third US aircraft carrier group in the region, CNN’s Senior National Reporter Zachary Cohen reported on Wednesday. It’s the latest public movement of military hardware to the region as the Iran-Israel conflict ratchets up.

The $13 billion carrier’s deployment — likely to the Mediterranean Sea — had been scheduled last year, sources to the network. But, it will still be seen as an unmistakable sign of increased global tensions surrounding the ongoing air strikes between Israel and Iran.

The vast majority of Americans across the board agree with Donald Trump that Iran should never have a nuclear weapon. In my opinion, I think the US should do a precision strike on Iranian nuclear sites, and be over with the whole thing. One and done. What do YOU think? pic.twitter.com/whsfDSUCrS

The Ford will join the USS Carl Vinson, which is already in the Persian Gulf, and the USS Nimitz — which the US announced it was sending from Southeast Asia earlier this week.

It comes after President Trump teased a possible US strike on Iran following the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected calls for unconditional surrender.

Several other US warships have left a US naval base in Bahrain as part of increased military movements around Iran, it was reported on Wednesday. Aerial refueling tankers have also been sent to the region. READ MORE

U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee announced evacuation flights and cruise ship departures for those wishing to leave Israel after last week’s voluntary evacuation notice.

It is not yet a world war, but it is certainly a war the whole world is intently watching, and with each passing hour it grows more and more intense. Yesterday, Donald Trump signaled that the United States had entered the fray, and immediately dispatched the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group 11 to the Middle East. Will America deliver the death blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and if so, how will Tehran’s allies Russia, China and North Korea react? Tick, tock goes the end times clock. That’s the memo.

“Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.” Proverbs 20:18 (KJB)

Over the past couple of years, we’ve been telling you that World War 3 has been growing more and more likely as time goes by, and today, we are closer to world war then at any time since the Bay of Pigs in the 1960’s under Kennedy. Both previous world wars had a singular defining moment that ‘lit the fuse’ on the powder keg of history, and in this current conflict, Donald Trump is holding the match. Mike Huckabee is right in telling Americans to get out as quickly as possible, this thing is just getting started.

Americans warned to urgently evacuate Israel by air and sea as Iran crisis deepens

FROM THE MIRROR US: “Urgent notice! American citizens wanting to leave Israel- US Embassy in Israel @usembassyjlm is working on evacuation flights & cruise ship departures,” he wrote in an X post on Wednesday.

“You must enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). You will be alerted w/ updates,” he added. STEP is recommended for anyone traveling to foreign countries regardless of the risk level, according to the State Department’s website.

Last week, the State Department issued a voluntary evacuation order for all non-emergency U.S. government employees stationed in Israel, the West Bank or Gaza. Family members of diplomatic employees or service members, as well as all non-emergency personnel, were given the option to depart the region “due to the volatile and unpredictable security situation in the region.”

The advisory came after Iran bombed Israel in retaliation for Israel’s own bombing of Iran last week. Missiles have flown across the Middle East for over a week as both powers attempt to get back at one another.

On Wednesday, Israel’s Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, penned a warning to Iran as he announced the destruction of Iran’s Internal Security Headquarters. “The tornado continues to hit Tehran. Air Force jets have now destroyed the Iranian regime’s Internal Security Headquarters — the Iranian dictator’s central repressive arm.”

“As we promised — we will continue to harm symbols of government and strike at the ayatollah regime everywhere,” he concluded.

In its travel advisory for Israel, the State Department warned, “In response to security incidents and without advance notice, the U.S. Embassy may further restrict or prohibit U.S. government employees and their family members from traveling to certain areas of Israel, the Old City of Jerusalem, and the West Bank.” READ MORE

Your King James Bible is not shy in telling you exactly what shall befall the Jews, Israel and God’s city of Jerusalem in the last days

For the past 4 days, the current conflict between Israel and their arch-enemy Iran has dominated the headlines, and rightly so, this is really big news. As a result, Christians, Catholics and various degrees of agnostics have been burning up social media giving their opinions on the Jews, Israel and Jerusalem in the last days. But what saith the scripture? Great question, let’s answer it.

“And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.” Genesis 49:1 (KJB)

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, the Bible is not shy in telling you exactly what shall befall the Jews and Israel in the last days. and a proper application of 2 Timothy 2:15 will yield the right answer every time. God frontloaded the Bible with divisions, you can call them dispensations, and in those divisions lie the immediate and long-term future of the Jews. For example, 66% of the Jews will believe Antichrist and be forever lost, while a one-third remnant will believe Jesus and be saved to go into the Millennium. Jerusalem as we know it today is slated for destruction, but the LORD will bring in the City of Zion in its place. The Jews will fall for a false peace, but the King of Peace will bring in everlasting salvation for His people. The Temple will be rebuilt, but it will be the home of Antichrist. On tonight’s episode, we show you what God says will be the fate of the Jews and Israel in these last days.

• 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.

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’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
