NTEB BIBLE RADIO: Rightly Dividing

The Trump administration is directing the Department of War to develop a nuclear strategy that would give the president shorter-range, lower-yield and supposedly more “usable” nuclear options during a regional war with Russia or China. They call it “escalation management," but what they are actually doing is making nuclear war easier to start. Washington is developing plans for fighting a nuclear war with Russia or China while attempting to convince itself that the conflict can remain limited. It is transforming nuclear weapons from instruments of last-resort destruction into battlefield options placed before the president during a regional crisis. It is insanity, and someone must stop it. But I don't think anyone will.

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, according to NBC News, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby is overseeing the drafting of a classified strategy that places increased emphasis upon tactical nuclear weapons. Five people familiar with the plans say the strategy would revise the nuclear-response options presented to the president during a military crisis. The men planning this strategy want the American president to have choices beyond launching long-range strategic weapons capable of destroying cities, military installations and enemy nuclear forces. They believe smaller nuclear weapons could be used to deliver a limited strike, demonstrate American resolve and force Russia or China to stop escalating. This is the language of madmen attempting to make Armageddon sound manageable. A nuclear weapon does not become safe because government officials attach the word “tactical” to it. It does not become controllable because it has a shorter range or a smaller explosive yield. It still produces a nuclear blast, radioactive fallout, mass casualties and an immediate demand for retaliation. Once the first nuclear weapon is detonated, every carefully drafted Pentagon theory becomes meaningless. The American people are expected to believe the same war planners who failed to control Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and decades of Middle Eastern conflict, including the one raging right now, will somehow control a nuclear exchange between superpowers. They will not. In March, Department of War officials publicly acknowledged that Colby’s policy office and U.S. Strategic Command were conducting a nuclear-strategy review examining American force requirements and possible additional theater nuclear weapons. Instead of conducting a traditional Nuclear Posture Review subjected to the customary interagency process and congressional scrutiny, the administration moved the work into an internal strategy review. The architecture of nuclear confrontation is being deliberately expanded. The Trump administration is not putting out the flames of global conflict. Through the Department of War, it is fanning them while assembling the machinery for a catastrophe that will consume everything in its path. The Bible tells us that the day will come when peace would be taken from the earth, and the nations are getting ready. That day is almost here.

We are living in an age when the antichrists no longer hide in dark corners but they stand beneath spotlights, speak from television screens, wear expensive suits, carry government credentials and even walk into the pulpit holding a King James Bible. Jesus Christ warned that the defining characteristic of the last days would not merely be war, disease or political turmoil, but deception. The modern world is drowning in information while starving for truth, and the louder the machinery of propaganda becomes, the more difficult it is for the undiscerning person to separate fact from carefully manufactured perception. But what about the Christian, the Bible believer who should be looking for these things, even anticipating these things? All is not quiet on the western front, and the skies are rapidly darkening.

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” 1 John 2:18 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, The COVID era demonstrated how quickly fear could be converted into power. Emergency declarations became lockdowns, dissent was suppressed, institutional narratives repeatedly changed, and millions were pressured to accept medical decisions under threat of losing employment, education or access to ordinary life. Then there is the expanding alliance between government, media, military power, surveillance technology and private capital. Figures such as Peter Thiel represent a technological world capable of collecting, organizing and analyzing information on a scale previous generations could scarcely imagine, while Pete Hegseth represents the polished fusion of television personality, political messaging and military authority. Most disturbing of all is deception inside the professing Church. Political deception can corrupt a nation, but spiritual deception can destroy souls. Charisma, preaching ability, celebrity friendships and institutional reputation must never be permitted to shield abuse, silence victims or prevent serious allegations from receiving an honest investigation. Kenny Baldwin didn’t fall, Jack Schaap didn’t fall, they are literal antichrists targeting the Church, with hundreds more just like them waiting in the wings. This is THE AGE OF DECEPTION – an age in which governments manipulate fear, politicians manufacture loyalty, corporations monetize personal information, media personalities sell carefully constructed narratives and religious institutions protect reputations at the expense of truth. Christian, we are surrounded by antichrists who are with one voice preparing this world to receive the Antichrist. Today we lift all the end times rocks to show you what’s crawling beneath them. Consider this your ‘golden age’ antidote!

The secret of the LORD is not some mystical code reserved for religious elites; it is the intimate counsel of God entrusted to those who fear Him, receive His words and walk in obedience to His testimonies. The proud man may possess information about God, but the surrendered servant is taught the ways of God. Psalm 25 shows the order clearly: fear produces teachability, obedience places us in the paths of mercy and truth, and fellowship with the LORD brings understanding of His covenant and purpose. God reveals His secret to servants because revealed truth carries responsibility—we are expected to believe it, obey it and proclaim it. Welcome to the Sunday Service of the Bible Believers Church at the Bookstore!

“The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.” Psalm 25:14 (KJB)

When God brings us into the revelation of His eternal purpose in Christ, we discover that our access, righteousness and security do not rest upon our own wavering faithfulness, but upon “the faith of him.” We believe in Jesus Christ, but we are justified by the faith of Jesus Christ; our believing receives the gift, while His perfect obedience and finished work provide its unshakable foundation. Our confidence may tremble, our emotions may change and our performance may fail, but Jesus Christ cannot falter or deny Himself. The secret of the LORD reveals His purpose, and the faith of Him guarantees that purpose will be accomplished: the servant may falter, but the Saviour can never fail.

President Trump said on Thursday that a new nuclear energy deal with Saudi Arabia will require the Arab kingdom to normalize relations with Israel. That marked a turn, a day after the administration announced the signing of the agreement without mentioning that precondition. Trump said in an online post that the deal “will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed Trump’s condition that Saudi Arabia join the accords that would establish relations with Israel. And tick, tock, goes the end times clock.

“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Daniel 9:27 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the stunning part of this announcement is not simply that Washington and Riyadh have negotiated a civilian nuclear partnership. It is that President Trump has now placed Israel at the hinge of the entire arrangement. The Energy Department announced a decades-long nuclear-cooperation agreement on July 22; Trump then declared that its implementation is “totally subject” to Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords and normalizing relations with Israel. Nuclear power, American technology, Saudi wealth, regional security and peace with Israel are being bound together inside one enormous geopolitical package. Saudi Arabia has always been the crown jewel of Trump’s Abraham Accords. Bringing the kingdom into formal relations with Israel would transform the accords from a collection of normalization agreements into the framework for an entirely new Middle Eastern order.

Psalm 83 presents Israel surrounded by enemies conspiring against its continued existence. Jeremiah 30:7 points forward to the unparalleled “time of Jacob’s trouble.” Daniel 9:27 reveals a covenant that appears to provide order and security before producing betrayal, abomination and desolation. Taken together, these passages paint a sobering picture: Israel’s search for peace will ultimately produce an agreement powerful enough to reorganize the region, persuasive enough to gain Israel’s confidence and broad enough to include “many.” Trump may not be the man who ultimately confirms Daniel’s covenant, but he is absolutely helping construct the diplomatic machinery that the coming man of sin will inherit. The names and circumstances are impossible to ignore: the Abraham Accords, Israel at the center, Saudi Arabia as the decisive partner, multiple nations being gathered, promises of peace and security, and now nuclear technology being used as leverage to seal the deal. Come with us as we take another ‘giant step’ on the end times timeline!!

President Trump once assured the world that Iran’s nuclear program had been “obliterated.” Now the target list has grown to include Pickaxe Mountain, an underground fortress near Natanz that may contain thousands of centrifuges transferred there after the 2025 strikes. Trump says America will hit it “pretty soon” and “very heavily.” That is not the language of a president preparing to conclude a war; it is the language of a president preparing to open its next, and potentially most dangerous chapter. 3 US servicemen died in Iran missile fire just last weekend, bringing the total to 17 dead that the Department of War will admit to. This thing is not ending, it’s ramping up.

“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 12:3 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Pickaxe Mountain is reportedly buried even deeper than Fordow, beneath hundreds of feet of rock. America may be capable of sealing its entrances, destroying its ventilation and cutting its power, but completely eliminating whatever lies inside could require repeated bombardment or operations far beyond a single airstrike. Once again, Washington risks making a dramatic military declaration before knowing whether its weapons can accomplish the promised result. This could become another “mission accomplished” moment followed by the discovery that Iran’s nuclear machinery survived underground. A strike upon Pickaxe Mountain could therefore produce Iranian missiles over Tel Aviv, Israeli aircraft returning to Iranian airspace and American forces being pulled still deeper into an expanding regional war. That is the trap now forming. If Trump does not strike after repeatedly promising that he will, Iran will present it as American weakness. If he does strike, Tehran will be under enormous pressure to retaliate dramatically. Every American attack produces another Iranian response, and every Iranian response becomes the justification for an even larger American attack. Pickaxe Mountain is therefore more than another target on a military map—it may be the doorway through which Trump’s unfinished war becomes an uncontrollable confrontation involving Iran, Israel, the Gulf states and the United States. The Middle East is changing by the minute, and today we bring you the latest updates on World War Trump.
