Pope Leo XIV’s Landmark AI Encyclical With Anthropic Co-Founder Shows Rome Moving To Shape The Digital Future As Daniel’s Revived Roman Empire Rises

Pope Leo XIV has just placed the Vatican squarely in the center of the artificial intelligence revolution, releasing his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, on “safeguarding the human person in the time of Artificial Intelligence.” The Vatican announced the document for May 25, 2026, and tied its signing to the anniversary of Leo XIII’s 1891 social encyclical Rerum Novarum, the Roman Catholic response to the Industrial Revolution. But one thing is crystal clear as these news reports are coming in, the Revived Roman Empire is coming online and it will do it through Artificial Intelligence. Is this how the False Prophet pope will make an image of the Beast, through AI? Buckle up, Christian, the game is afoot!

“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJB)

Here is where the story leaves ordinary religion and enters the realm of Bible prophecy. Pope Leo is not launching this AI manifesto alone. The Vatican event includes Christopher Olah, a co-founder of Anthropic, one of the major companies shaping the AI systems that are now being woven into government, labor, warfare, surveillance, education, economics and global policy. That is not just a headline, that’s a screaming five-alarm fire. The pope is presenting Rome as the moral voice that must guide the machine age, and Big Tech is sitting at the table. The Associated Press reports that Pope Leo called for robust regulation of AI, warning that its developers must serve the common good rather than profit, and that AI is reshaping everything from work to war.

Fun Fact: the word “anthropic” comes from the Greek word “anthropos”, meaning “human”. Since AI is the opposite of something we would call human, this can only refer to transhumanism which is exactly what’s in play here. Listen to what Pope Leo XIV said this morning as he launched his takeover of AI.

BREAKING NEWS: Stunning news coming out of the Vatican today as Pope Leo XIV has agreed to partner with Anthropic AI to move artificial intelligence forward with the Catholic Church as a major player.

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) May 25, 2026

Students of Bible prophecy should not miss what is happening here. Daniel saw the final form of Gentile world power as a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, but in its last stage mixed with clay. That fourth kingdom was Rome, and its final prophetic appearance is not ancient Rome in sandals and Caesars, but a revived Roman system — political, religious, economic and global. Pope Leo XIV is the one that God is going to use to finally put that system into place! We will take a deep-dive, Lord willing, on all this on our Wednesday Podcast.

“And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.” Daniel 2:42,43 (KJB)

WE HAVE AN EXCELLENT SELECTION OF BOOKS ON AI AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST, CLICK TO ORDER!!

The final Roman system is not merely European politics, it is the beast system. It devours the whole earth. It is global in appetite, technological in reach, religious in justification and political in enforcement. Artificial intelligence is not the Beast, but one of the tools by which the Beast system gains unprecedented reach into every corner of human life. Rome is positioning itself as the conscience of the AI age, and Big Tech and the Tech Titans are lending credibility to that platform. The nations are looking for a framework. The masses are being trained to accept digital mediation in every area of life. And Bible prophecy told us thousands of years ago that a revived Roman kingdom would arise at the end, strong as iron, yet mixed with miry clay.

This is where we are on Day 2,261 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve…TO THE FIGHT!!

The Upper Room Events On The Day Of Pentecost Were Unique, Unrepeatable, And Designed By God As A Prophetic Sign To The House Of Israel In Jerusalem

Pentecost was not a religious accident, a mystical experience to be chased, or the “birthday party” of modern charismatic confusion. It was God’s exact appointed day on Israel’s prophetic calendar, the Feast of Harvest and Firstfruits, chosen by the LORD to display before the house of Israel that the Man they had crucified, Jesus of Nazareth, was now risen, ascended, exalted, and seated at the right hand of God.

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.” Acts 2:1 (KJB)

When the day of Pentecost was fully come, Heaven opened, the Holy Ghost came down, and the apostles were supernaturally authenticated before Jews gathered in Jerusalem from every nation under heaven. The rushing mighty wind, the cloven tongues like as of fire, and the miracle of known languages were not random signs for personal excitement, but divine credentials proving that Jesus Christ was both Lord and Christ. This was not repeatable revival theater; this was a once-in-history witness to Israel that their rejected Messiah was alive, glorified, and ready to deal with His covenant nation.Tonight, we show you the Old Testament Feast of Pentecost, and it’s connection to the harvest of souls we see take place in Acts 2. Not only that, Pentecost has wild connections to the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church.

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.

• “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

Great Is Thy Faithfulness: From The Garden To The Kingdom, God Has Never Failed His Word, His Promises, Or His People

The faithfulness of God is one of the great golden threads that runs unbroken from Genesis to Revelation. Man changes, nations rise and fall, kings make promises they cannot keep, and generations pass away like grass in the field, but God remains exactly who He said He is. When Adam fell, God was faithful. When Noah stood alone in a wicked world, God was faithful. When Abraham looked for a city whose builder and maker is God, God was faithful. When Israel wandered, rebelled, murmured, sinned, and went into captivity, God was still faithful. His compassions failed not then, and they do not fail now. My message for this Memorial Day Sunday Service is “The Faithfulness Of God In Every Dispensation”.

“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22,23 (KJB)

That is why Jeremiah could look out over the ruins of Jerusalem and still say, “great is thy faithfulness.” He was not speaking from a place of ease, comfort, or outward victory; he was standing in the ashes of judgment and declaring that God had not changed. The faithfulness of God is not proven only when the sun is shining, the bills are paid, and the blessings are obvious. It is proven in the furnace, in the wilderness, in the storm, and at the graveside. From the garden to the cross, from the empty tomb to the coming kingdom, God has never failed His word, never forgotten His people, and never once been late in keeping His promises.

THIS IS THE GREATEST BOOK ON DISPENSATIONAL TRUTH, CLICK TO ORDER!!

SUNDAY SERVICE STUDY NOTES: The Faithfulness Of God In Every Dispensation

The Faithfulness Of God In Every Dispensation

“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22,23 (KJB)

From the fall of man in Genesis to the final triumph of Jesus Christ in Revelation, the Bible reveals one unbroken truth: God is faithful. Man fails in every dispensation, but God never fails. His word stands, His promises remain, His covenants are sure, His judgments are righteous, and His mercy is everlasting. Today I want to show you the faithfulness of God in every dispensation.

“For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” 2 Timothy 1:12 (KJB)

Faithfulness:

“Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.” Psalm 119:90 (KJB)

“I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.” Hosea 2:20 (KJB)

I. God Was Faithful In Innocence — Genesis

Main Text

“And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Genesis 2:16 (KJB)

“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Genesis 3:15 (KJB)

In the first dispensation, man failed under the simplest possible command. Adam fell, sin entered, and death passed upon all men. Yet God was faithful. Before Adam and Eve ever left the garden, God gave the first prophecy of the coming Redeemer.

Application

When man ruined everything, God immediately revealed that He had a plan of redemption. The faithfulness of God did not begin after man got better; it appeared when man was fallen, guilty, and hiding.

“Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.” Genesis 3:21 (KJB)

Closing Challenge

Trust the God who promised a Saviour before man ever knew how to ask for one.

II. God Was Faithful In Conscience — From Adam To Noah

Main Text

“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Genesis 6:5 (KJB)

“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” Genesis 6:8 (KJB)

“Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.” Genesis 6:22 (KJB)

From the fall to the flood, man lived under conscience, and conscience did not save him. Violence filled the earth, corruption spread, and judgment came. But God was faithful to preserve a righteous remnant through Noah.

Application

God’s faithfulness does not mean He overlooks sin. It means He always does exactly what He said He would do — in judgment and in mercy.

Closing Challenge

Be found like Noah: believing God, obeying God, and standing apart from a condemned world.

III. God Was Faithful In Human Government — Noah To Babel

Main Text

“Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.” Genesis 9:6 (KJB)

“And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:” Genesis 9:12 (KJB)

“And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.” Genesis 11:1 (KJB)

After the flood, God established human government and gave man authority to restrain evil. But man gathered at Babel in rebellion, seeking unity without God. Once again, man failed. Once again, God was faithful.

Application

God is faithful to restrain man’s rebellion, even when man uses unity, technology, and ambition against Him.

Closing Challenge

Do not be impressed by the world’s towers. God still comes down, God still judges, and God still rules.

IV. God Was Faithful In Promise — Abraham, Isaac, And Jacob

Main Text

“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:” And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 12:1-3 (KJB)

“And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.” Genesis 15:6 (KJB)

God called Abraham and made promises concerning a land, a seed, a nation, and blessing to all families of the earth. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had failures, but God remained faithful to His covenant.

Application

God’s promises do not rest upon man’s perfection but upon God’s own faithfulness.

Closing Challenge

Believe God as Abraham believed God. Faith takes God at His word before it sees the fulfillment.

V. God Was Faithful Under The Law — Moses To Christ

Main Text

“Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;” Deuteronomy 7:9 (KJB)

“The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.” Numbers 14:18 (KJB)

“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness” Lamentations 3:22,23 (KJB)

Under the Law, Israel repeatedly failed. They murmured in the wilderness, demanded a king, worshipped idols, rejected the prophets, and went into captivity. Yet God remained faithful to His covenant promises, faithful in chastisement, faithful in mercy, and faithful to preserve Israel.

Application

God’s faithfulness is not sentimental. He is faithful to bless obedience, faithful to chasten disobedience, and faithful to keep His word even when His people are unfaithful.

Closing Challenge

Do not mistake chastening for abandonment. The God who corrects His people is the God who keeps His covenant.

VI. God Was Faithful In The Coming Of Christ

Main Text

“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” Micah 5:2 (KJB)

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” Matthew 1:23 (KJB)

“But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” Galatians 4:4,5 (KJB)

God was faithful to every prophecy concerning the first coming of Jesus Christ. The seed of the woman came. The son of Abraham came. The son of David came. The virgin-born Saviour came. God kept His word exactly.

Application

The first coming of Christ proves that God does not forget prophecy, delay prophecy without purpose, or fulfill prophecy vaguely. He fulfills it literally, perfectly, and on time.

Closing Challenge

If God was faithful to send Christ the first time, He will be faithful to send Him the second time.

VII. God Is Faithful In The Dispensation Of Grace

Main Text

“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:9 (KJB)

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJB)

“Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:24 (KJB)

“If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.” 2 Timothy 2:13 (KJB)

In this present dispensation, God is calling out the body of Christ by the gospel of the grace of God. The believer is saved by grace through faith, sealed by the Spirit, kept by the power of God, and promised a heavenly calling in Christ.

Application

Our assurance rests not in the strength of our grip on God, but in the faithfulness of the God who saved us, sealed us, and promised to finish what He began.

Closing Challenge

Stop measuring God’s faithfulness by your feelings. Measure it by the cross, the empty tomb, and the written word of God.

VIII. God Will Be Faithful In The Time Of Jacob’s Trouble

“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.” Jeremiah 30:7 (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)

Truth

After the Church is caught up, God will resume His prophetic dealings with Israel. The time of Jacob’s trouble will be terrible, but God will be faithful to purify, preserve, and restore His covenant people.

Application

God has not replaced Israel, forgotten Israel, or broken His promises to Israel. The same faithful God who called Abraham will keep every promise He made to Abraham’s seed.

Closing Challenge

Rightly divide the word of truth. Do not steal Israel’s promises, and do not miss the faithfulness of God in keeping them.

IX. God Will Be Faithful At The Second Coming

Main Text

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.” Revelation 19:11 (KJB)

“And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” Revelation 19:16 (KJB)

Truth

When Jesus Christ returns, He comes not as the suffering Lamb but as the conquering King. His very name in Revelation 19 is Faithful and True. He will judge, make war, overthrow Antichrist, and establish His righteous rule.

Application

The faithfulness of God is not only comfort for the saint; it is terror to the rebel. Every warning will come to pass just as surely as every promise.

Closing Challenge

Be on the right side of the Faithful and True. The next great event for this world is not revival, reformation, or global peace — it is the return of the King.

X. God Will Be Faithful In The Kingdom And Eternity

Main Text

“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” Revelation 11:15 (KJB)

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.” Revelation 21:1 (KJB)

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:4 (KJB)

“And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.” Revelation 21:5 (KJB)

God’s faithfulness carries history all the way to its appointed end. The kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of Christ. Sin will be judged. Satan will be cast into the lake of fire. Death will be destroyed. God will make all things new.

Application

The believer’s hope is not wishful thinking. It is anchored in the faithful word of the faithful God.

Closing Challenge

Live now in light of the ending God has already written.

FRANK JENNER stood on a streetcorner in Australia for 40 years, asking people one simple question. “If YOU were to die tonight, would you go to Heaven or Hell”?

• THE FRANK JENNER QUESTION: If You Were To Die Tonight, Would You Be in Heaven Or Hell?

The circumstances of the Second World War – particularly the horrific images of Japan after the atomic bombs – so heightened Jenner’s sense of urgency that he felt it necessary to confront others directly about their standing before God. Not that this came easily: Jenner struggled to overcome a gambling habit acquired as a sailor, and he suffered persistent health problems throughout his life. He was so aware of his weakness that before each encounter on George Street he silently prayed: “I can do all things through him who gives me strength”. He first coined his now-famous question in 1937, and over the years probably asked nearly 100,000 people.

Final Application

From Genesis to Revelation, every dispensation proves two things: man fails, and God is faithful. Innocence failed. Conscience failed. Human government failed. Promise revealed man’s weakness. The Law exposed sin. Israel stumbled. The nations rebelled. The Church age is filled with apostasy. The Tribulation will reveal man’s final rebellion against God.

But God remains faithful.

He was faithful in the garden.
He was faithful at the flood.
He was faithful to Abraham.
He was faithful to Israel.
He was faithful at Calvary.
He is faithful to the body of Christ.
He will be faithful in the time of Jacob’s trouble.
He will be faithful at the Second Advent.
He will be faithful in the kingdom.
He will be faithful in eternity.

Closing Challenge

Build your life on the faithfulness of God, not the instability of man.

“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)” Hebrews 10:23 (KJB)
