NTEB RADIO BIBLE STUDY: Part #11 Of The Minor Prophets From Hosea To Malachi – Zechariah Pt #2
The Minor Prophets, also known as ‘The Twelve’, deliver a mighty end times punch in bringing you the info on how the time of Jacob’s trouble and the great Tribulation will play out
The Old Testament stands on 3 major pillars – the Law, the Writings, and the Prophets, something that is definitely defined by Jesus Himself in the New Testament. Genesis to Deuteronomy gives us the Law of Moses, the writings which is primarily Psalms and Proverbs, and the Prophets which start with Isaiah, the biggest one of them all, and ends with Malachi. The ‘big three’ or Major Prophets are Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel, and ‘the Twelve’, or the 12 Minor Prophets, start with Hosea and ends with Malachi. They are called ‘minor prophets’ because of the shortness of their books, but make no mistake, when it comes to the end times, they pack a major wallop!
“And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.” Luke 24:44 (KJB)
On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we start with the prophet Hosea, and work our way down the line, in order, to read the writings of a fascinating group of men known as ‘The Twelve’. One main thing they all have in common is that they all prophesy concerning the end times of Jacob’s trouble, with a focus on the events of the great Tribulation. Jesus says in Hebrews “Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.”, and this is the sum and substance that make up the writings of these amazing Minor Prophets.
ON THIS EPISODE: We take a look at the Prophet Zechariah, and he is perhaps the biggest and most powerful of the 12 Minor Prophets we’ve been studying these past number of weeks. Zechariah has so much to say it’s doubtful we will get even half of it in during our study tonight, and all of it pertains to the Second Advent. Zechariah makes some astonishing connections to the book of Revelation and we will spend much of our time this evening cross-referencing his prophecies. PLEASE NOTE: this is the second installment in our look at the book of Zechariah.
You Need These Books In Your Library
As we go along in our 12-part look at the Minor Prophets, it is highly recommended you purchase a copy of this excellent Bible commentary by Dr. Peter S. Ruckman. Click link below to order.

On our Sunday and Wednesday night radio bible study, we are preaching and teaching the gospel of the grace of God, rightly divided and dispensationally correct, to a truly global audience who is hungry for the word. 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.

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.

- “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

Artificial Intelligence
THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Former Anthropic Researcher Jacob Coxon Warns That 2027 Is The Year That AI Will Begin To Go Rogue And No One Cares
They Know It Could Destroy Us And They’re Building It Anyway As Anthropic AI Researcher Jacob Coxon Sounds The Alarm Over The Coming Artificial Intelligence Revolution Of 2027
Something extraordinary is happening in the world of artificial intelligence, and the people who understand the danger better than almost anyone are beginning to sound the alarm. Jacob Coxon is not some conspiracy theorist making wild predictions about the future. He is a highly trained AI researcher who spent approximately three years working at OpenAI and Anthropic, helping develop some of the most powerful artificial intelligence systems ever created. Then, in September 2026, he abruptly walked away from Anthropic, sacrificing a potentially enormous financial payday to warn humanity about what is coming. Why would he do that? Great question.
“And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” Genesis 11:6 (KJB)
Coxon believes that 2027 will mark the beginning of recursive self-improving artificial intelligence, where machines become capable of developing increasingly powerful versions of themselves at speeds human beings cannot match. And here’s the truly disturbing part: the scientists building these systems are warning of potentially catastrophic consequences, the companies funding them recognize the risks, and yet the race continues because nobody wants to finish second. The pursuit of money, power and technological supremacy has created an industry willing to gamble with humanity’s future rather than surrender its competitive advantage. And Jacob Coxon is hardly the only insider sounding the alarm. Anthropic alignment researcher Evan Hubinger publicly supported his concerns and said he personally estimated the probability of artificial intelligence causing human extinction within the next decade at greater than ten percent. 10%!!
THE END TIMES COUNTDOWN:
- Today is day 1,721 of the Russia-Ukraine War
- Today is day 2,431 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve
- Today is day 256 of World War Trump in Iran
- Today is day 28,671 of The Regathering Of Israel
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, THEY KNOW THE DANGER. THEY KNOW THE RISKS. THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO CONTROL IT. AND THEY’RE BUILDING IT ANYWAY. What makes this so astonishing is not simply the danger of what mankind is creating, but the willingness of those who recognize that danger to continue accelerating toward it. We are watching a civilization become so intoxicated with its own technological accomplishments that it has forgotten the difference between possessing the power to create something and possessing the wisdom to control it.

The Ugly End Times Fruit Of Rick Warren And ‘The Purpose Driven Church’ Are In Full Bloom At Megacorporations Like Eleven22 And Lakepoint Church
The Ugly End Times Fruit Of Rick Warren’s ‘The Purpose Driven Church’ Is In Full Bloom As Megachurch Expansion Turns Congregations Into Corporate Empires
If you weren’t aware that we are firmly in the Laodicean church age, take a good look at what now passes for success in American Christianity. Over the past twenty years, we have watched the corporatizing of the local church accelerate. The pastor becomes a celebrity, the congregation becomes an audience, the church becomes a campus, and the ministry becomes a brand capable of expansion into one market after another. Somewhere along the way, feeding the flock gets swallowed up by growing the organization. The machinery demands more buildings, more locations, more employees, and more money to keep it all moving. Eleven22 and Lakepoint Church need another half billion to keep the lights on. How is that possible? It’s possible because the Bible is right and here we are.
“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:14-16 (KJB)
A major landmark on that road was Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Church, published in 1995, which offered pastors a reproducible, five-part strategy for ‘church growth’. Warren presented it as a way to build healthy churches, but it wasn’t. The movement he helped popularize taught American Christianity to place far too much confidence in systems, strategies, and measurable, marketable growth. Once numerical success becomes the credential, the biggest operation gets treated as the greatest work of God. That is a spiritually disastrous exchange. At that point, you are not planting a church, you are opening up a francise and starting a business. Rick Warren in his book led the charge to get rid of hymnals, put everything up on a flatscreen, and change the name of each franchise from ‘church’ to ‘campus’. Today, the Church at Eleven22 and Lakepointe Church are the standardbearers of the business model, um, I mean, movement he started. Jesus will absolutely spue this out of His mouth in that day.
So let’s look at two organizations whose operations who are rocking The Purpose Driven Church model to such a high degree, The Church of Eleven22, led by Joby Martin, and Lakepointe Church, led by Josh Howerton. Eleven22’s own 2025 report lists $91.1 million in annual support and revenue, $176.3 million in assets, $56.6 million in long-term debt, and $24.8 million in staffing expenses. Its capital spending for expansion totaled $16.2 million. Alongside its church operations are thrift stores, a retreat center, and a construction-management ministry. What?? Blueprint1122 advertises $200 million in projects under management. This is not only church ‘business’, it’s big business.
Both Lakepointe Church and Eleven22 are businesses, million dollar religious corporations built to show a profit. This is the fulfillment of the Laodicean church prophecy starting in Revelation 3:14. These people are total scammers.
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) November 10, 2026
Lakepointe is asking its people to participate in a $225 million giving initiative called Into The Breach covering December 2026 through December 2028. That includes ordinary giving, with $135 million designated for ongoing general ministries, $62 million for expansion and strategic projects, and $28 million for missions. The campaign connects financial commitments with a two-year discipleship journey. If you watched the video posted above and don’t feel nauseous, you might want to do a quick spiritual checkup to make sure you’re still “in the faith”.
The Laodicean megachurches like Lakepointe and Eleven22 are not only sharing the same sermons, they are also telling and retelling the same jokes. How does that happen? Because it’s marketing. This is not Bible preaching, this is a calculated manipulation of their congregations. Flee these spiritually dead and rotten fake churches.
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) November 10, 2026
Another thing that you see when you look, is the incredible insincerity of the “pastors” who are running the “big show”. Not only are these campuses started according to a replicatable business model that’s available for purchase, another thing you can buy are the sermons you will preach in the pulpit. Evidentially, the “jokes” are thrown in as a package deal. Christian, this is not the church that Jesus started, this is the church that Paul warns against. This is big business, plain and simple. The photo at the top of this article is not real, it was made with AI. And that’s fitting because the churches we’re talking about aren’t real churches, either. Welcome to Laodicea.
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

“Michigan is the capital of Arab America.” That was Abdul El-Sayed’s declaration just days after winning election to the United States Senate. With Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez having campaigned for him, his victory represents a consequential development in progressive politics. In America, Democratic Socialism is on the rise, Liberalism is on the rise, and apparently so is Islam. Americans have every right to examine what this coalition intends to do with its growing influence. An election victory begins the accountability, it does not end the debate.
“And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.” Genesis 16:12 (KJB)
We are seeing this weird pairing of Democratic Socialism with Islam on the rise, at the same time that a large portion of America seems to be turning against the Jews and national Israel. The American experiment that was started 250 years ago is one of the most unique governments in human history, but it has an Achilles heel that’s often overlooked. Under our system of government, anyone who meets the requirements can run for office and potentially win. Most of the people who get in are largely loyal to the documents written the Founding Fathers. What would happen if the LGBTQ were to suddenly hold a majority in our government, what type of laws might be passed there? What would happen if Muslims were to gain a majority of political power, what would that look like for Christians? We have written many articles over the years about something called ‘biological Jihad’, the non-violent way for Islam to get a foothold. When Abdul El-Sayed remarked that “Michigan is the capital of Arab America.”, that’s something that should make any American with a memory stand up and take notice of.
THE END TIMES COUNTDOWN:
- Today is day 1,719 of the Russia-Ukraine War
- Today is day 2,429 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve
- Today is day 254 of World War Trump in Iran
- Today is day 28,669 of The Regathering Of Israel
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, America is a nation that is currently undergoing a severe, and some would say, radical change in 2026. Watching Islam and Democratic Socialism gaining power is sickening, but if prophecy is any guide, it’s also inevitable. Today we give you everything you need to know about Progressive America, and what 2027 might look like. And tick, tock, goes the end times clock.

- “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 just want to thank you for the teachings you give every Sunday night on radio. You are such a blessing to me. I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures. I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to. I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too. You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture. Thank you so much Geoffrey, from the bottom of my heart. May the Lord keep you, until He comes back for us. You are in my prayers.” Donald Godin
- “Thank you for the work you are doing brother. Your page and your testimony were a blessing to me this morning as I came across it for the first time. Thank you for the reality of your testimony and what God has done for you in introducing you to Jesus our Lord. God has brought me, in salvation, to Himself as well, through His love and mercy and grace in salvation. How can we praise Him enough? How can we not share this good news!? I pray this day for God’s blessing on your ministry that He may save many souls through the work He has called you to. Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)” Mark and Melissa

We are all in this “boat of life” together and as I come to the end of my life’s journey here, I am more aware of Jesus’s call for us to be one as He and the Father are One.” Deborah Cleaveland
