NTEB BIBLE RADIO: Rightly Dividing

The end times information age is not producing a generation that knows more truth; it is producing a generation that is drowning in information while starving for discernment. That is the satanic genius of the hour. The Devil doesn’t have to remove every Bible, silence every preacher or erase every inconvenient fact when he can simply flood the world with so much noise that truth becomes almost impossible to hear. Breaking news, artificial intelligence, viral outrage, pornography, entertainment, politics, conspiracy, celebrity worship, endless doom scrolling — all of it competing for the same finite human attention span. Neil Postman described Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’ nightmare as truth being drowned in a “sea of irrelevance,” and that sea has now become an ocean.

“Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:7 (KJB)

“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4 (KJB)

Think about that. More information than any generation in human history, yet less wisdom, less discernment, less attention and less ability to recognize what actually matters. That is exactly the environment in which mass deception flourishes. Satan does not always deceive by presenting one enormous lie; sometimes he simply buries the truth beneath ten thousand distractions. Keep people angry, entertained, frightened, stimulated and scrolling, and they will have neither the time nor the spiritual clarity to notice what is happening right in front of them. And that is why the coming deception of Antichrist will not arrive in an intellectual vacuum. The world is being conditioned for it right now — conditioned to react instead of think, consume instead of discern, and follow whatever dominates the screen in front of them. In such a world, the truth can be publicly available and remain functionally invisible. The battle in these last days is not merely over what information exists; it is over who controls your attention, what shapes your thinking, and whether you still possess enough spiritual discernment to recognize the truth before the next wave of irrelevance sweeps it away.

The Azusa Street Revival of 1906 was not the restoration of biblical Pentecost; it was the arrival of a counterfeit spirit that taught professing Christians to mistake confusion for the Holy Ghost, unintelligible babbling for the biblical gift of tongues, and emotional frenzy for the power of God. Pentecost in Acts 2 produced recognizable human languages, apostolic preaching and thousands of Jewish hearers confronted with the truth about Jesus Christ. Azusa produced trances, shaking, falling, unverifiable prophecies and alleged “heavenly languages” that could not withstand examination. It shifted the believer’s attention away from the finished work of Jesus Christ and the authority of the written word of God, conditioning spiritually hungry but doctrinally ungrounded people to believe that any sufficiently powerful experience must have come from Heaven.

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1 (KJB)

The satanic genius of Azusa Street was that it did not openly reject Christianity—it counterfeited it. Another spirit entered using the names of Jesus, Pentecost and the Holy Ghost, and from that polluted fountain flowed the modern Charismatic movement, theatrical faith healers, prosperity preachers, false apostles, female prophets, holy laughter, deliverance ministries and the New Apostolic Reformation. Azusa trained generations to judge doctrine by manifestations when the Bible commands us to judge manifestations by doctrine. That deception is preparing the professing Church for the supernatural religion of Antichrist, when Satan will produce “all power and signs and lying wonders.” The strange fire kindled at 312 Azusa Street continues to burn today, and millions are calling it revival because they have abandoned the Book that would expose the spirit behind it.

The Middle East is not merely changing—it is melting down before our eyes. Iran, battered but not broken by months of American and Israeli attacks, is now reaching for the most powerful weapon it possesses: the ability to choke the flow of oil upon which the global economy depends. Tehran is squeezing the Strait of Hormuz while its Houthi proxies tighten their grip around the Bab el-Mandeb, placing Saudi Arabia between two strategic chokepoints. This is not random retaliation; it is a calculated economic siege designed to make the entire world pay for Washington’s war. Trump’s war with Iran is actually, ironically and paradoxically, making Tehran stronger.

“All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:8 (KJB)

Saudi Arabia believed its East-West pipeline offered protection by allowing its oil to bypass Hormuz and reach the Red Sea. Then Houthi drones struck that pipeline while Houthi fighters seized Perim Island in the middle of the Bab el-Mandeb. Iran’s message could not be clearer: there may be no safe passage, no protected oil route and no corner of the region beyond its reach. The kingdom that once stood as the undisputed giant of global oil exports is now watching its refineries, pipelines, cities and shipping lanes come under attack as crude prices surge and the danger spreads far beyond the battlefield. Every missile launched in Arabia can eventually explode at an American gas pump, grocery store and household budget. Fun fact, the average price of gas here in America is right now $4.31 for regular and $6.23 for diesel. Is that the Golden Age you were expecting, the Golden Age you voted for? But I digress.

President Trump launched this war promising to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program, prevent Tehran from attacking its neighbors and create the conditions for regime change. Instead, Iran has survived, Saudi Arabia has become a primary target, the Houthis are capturing strategic territory, and two of the world’s most important shipping lanes are being dragged toward paralysis. Washington may possess the larger military, but Iran is attempting to seize the greater leverage by placing its hand around the throat of the world economy. The Abraham Accords promised a new Middle Eastern order built upon peace and prosperity; what is emerging instead is war, scarcity, collapsing alliances and desperate nations searching for someone capable of imposing peace.

ISRAEL A DEADLY PIECE OF DIRT:
https://www.nowtheendbegins.com/product/israel-a-deadly-piece-of-dirt-ruckman/

Today, we are so excited to bring to you, for the first time ever, our Sunday Service morning message and Sunday Night Bible Study combined into a single, 2-hour time of prayer, prayer, preaching and Bible teaching! At the bottom of every article announcing the Sunday Services, you will find all the notes used in the course of the messages and Bible Studies we bring ro you weekly. Today my message and teaching is entitled "That Stumbling Stone', Jesus of Nazareth. 

“Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” Romans 9:32,33 (KJB)

All through the Bible, Jesus Christ is revealed as That Stumbling Stone—the tried Stone laid by God, the precious Corner Stone, the Stone rejected by the builders and the Rock of offence over which unbelieving men continue to stumble. Israel had been entrusted with the oracles of God and should have recognized its Messiah, yet the builders examined the Stone and cast Him aside. When Pilate presented Jesus Christ alongside a robber, insurrectionist and murderer, the people cried, “Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas.” But the Gentiles were equally guilty: Herod, Pontius Pilate, the Gentiles and the people of Israel gathered together and crucified the Lord of glory. At Calvary, the religious world and the political world united in choosing a guilty criminal over the sinless Son of God. Behold that stumbling Stone!

Twenty-five years ago, on September 11, 2001, America changed forever. Nearly 3,000 people were murdered, the World Trade Center disappeared from the Manhattan skyline, the Pentagon burned, and Americans watched in horror as the nation they thought they understood suddenly became something very different. We were told that 19 Islamic terrorists armed with box cutters had surprised the most powerful intelligence and military establishment on earth, penetrated American airspace, struck three of the most important targets in the United States, and changed the course of world history in less than two hours. I believed what I was told—until I didn’t.

“For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.” Luke 12:2 (KJB)

For me, 9/11 has always been personal. I worked at Deloitte & Touche in the World Financial Center directly across the street from the Twin Towers. I had a friend who worked for Empire Blue Cross and spent time working in Tower 1. I was there. I visited him. I personally saw construction activity taking place around those floors that we understood at the time to involve elevator upgrade work. Twenty-five years later, there are far too many documented facts surrounding September 11 that deserve to be discussed openly instead of mocked, censored or dismissed with the magic words “conspiracy theory.”

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we show you 10 things that no one ever told you about 9/11 and the events that ushered America into a dystopian surveillance society.
