NTEB BIBLE RADIO: Rightly Dividing

The headlines coming out of the Iran war today confirm that Donald Trump’s promised victory has become a strategic defeat unfolding before the entire world. What began in hubris as Operation Epic Fury has sadly morphed into Economic D-Day as Trump’s dreams of an easy victory has turned to dust. After nearly six months of American bombing, Iran is now threatening 46 commercial ships with detention or confiscation, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has collapsed from more than 130 daily passages to approximately 16, and Tehran is negotiating with Oman over shipping lanes and the collection of transit fees. Trump entered this war promising to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program, dismantle its missile forces, reopen Hormuz and bring the Islamic Republic to its knees. Instead, the regime remains standing, its missiles remain operational, its nuclear ambitions remain unresolved and its control over the world’s most important energy chokepoint is stronger than it was before the first American bomb fell. Iran did not need to defeat the United States on the battlefield; it only needed to survive long enough to expose the limits of American power. Donald Trump has made this war all about him, and that’s exactly how history will remember it. They will say “Trump did this”, and they’ll be right.

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Donald Trump has abandoned the language of imminent military victory and replaced it with Scott Bessent’s ridiculous promise of an “Economic D-Day,” an admission that the bombs never produced the surrender Washington demanded. Iran’s currency is collapsing and its people are suffering terribly, but economic misery is not the decisive American triumph Trump promised. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is diverting so many forces into this expanding Middle East quagmire that a major military exercise with South Korea has reportedly been canceled, weakening American readiness against China and North Korea. The self-proclaimed “president of peace” has spent tens of billions of dollars, wounded hundreds of American service members and killing 18, disrupted the global economy and reduced American military flexibility—only to leave Iran standing defiantly at the gates of Hormuz. Trump may call it maximum pressure, economic warfare or “D-Day,” but the world sees exactly what it is: a desperate attempt to manufacture victory after his war failed to deliver one.

Paul did not call himself the prisoner of Rome, the prisoner of Caesar or the victim of an unjust legal system; he called himself “the prisoner of Jesus Christ” and an “ambassador in bonds.” Rome may have forged the chain, but God determined what the chain would accomplish. Paul’s imprisonment carried the gospel into palaces, courtrooms, military barracks and prison cells that might otherwise have remained closed to him. He did not ask the Church merely to pray that his chains would fall off; he asked for utterance and boldness so that he could continue preaching while wearing them. That is the testimony believers desperately need in 2026—a faith that does not collapse when it becomes uncomfortable, unpopular or costly. We do not seek persecution, but neither do we soften the gospel, conceal our convictions or surrender our testimony merely to escape the consequences of standing for Jesus Christ.

“For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,” Ephesians 3:1 (KJB)

Every born-again believer is an ambassador stationed inside a foreign and increasingly hostile world, and an ambassador has no authority to rewrite the message of his King. The pressure may presently come through ridicule, censorship, lost opportunities, broken relationships or accusations of hatred and extremism, but Paul’s example teaches us that the commission remains in force even when the ambassador is bound. Governments can imprison the preacher, corporations can remove the platform, and men can confiscate the Bible, but “the word of God is not bound.” The defining question for the Church in these last days is not whether we can preserve our comfort, popularity and safety; it is whether we will remain faithful when those things are threatened. We do not seek the chains, but neither will we abandon the testimony to avoid them, the ambassador may be bound, but the word of God remains forever free. On this Sunday Service, come meet Paul the prisoner, the ambassador in bonds.

Isaiah’s warning is not merely some distant prophetic curiosity — we are watching the pattern unfold right now. The prophet Isaiah speaks of “scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem”, and today Israel is being led by men whose rhetoric, policies and public displays are helping turn the nations against the Jewish state. Ben-Gvir standing before newly constructed gallows, boasting about executions and viewing booths, is not simply another controversial political moment; it is exactly the kind of spectacle that hardens global opinion, isolates Jerusalem and gives Israel’s enemies fresh ammunition. The world is already increasingly hostile toward Israel, and instead of slowing that momentum, some of Israel’s own rulers are actively pouring gasoline on the fire. The “scornful men” are ruling Jerusalem, and they are helping create the very conditions the prophets said would exist in the last days.

“Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.” Isaiah 28:14 (KJB)

“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, Zechariah said Jerusalem would become “a burdensome stone for all people” and that eventually “all the people of the earth” would be gathered against it (Zechariah 12:3 KJB). That prophecy does not require Israel to be innocent of every wrong action; in fact, Scripture repeatedly shows Israel in rebellion and under corrupt leadership immediately before divine intervention. What we are witnessing now is the process taking shape: outrage, condemnation, diplomatic isolation, growing hostility, and leaders in Jerusalem whose own actions are accelerating the collapse of international sympathy. Ben-Gvir’s gallows are not happening in a vacuum — they are part of a larger prophetic trajectory in which Jerusalem becomes increasingly unbearable to the nations. The road to Zechariah 12 is being built in real time, and astonishingly, some of the men ruling Jerusalem are helping pave it themselves. Today we do a Bible Study ripped from the headlines to show you just how close the Jews and Israel are to the time of Jacob’s trouble!

The explosion of so-called Christian Deliverance Ministries has created an entire charismatic industry built around the idea that born-again believers can remain inhabited by demons, bound by generational curses and dependent upon specially “anointed” apostles and prophets to set them free. From Kathryn Krick and Greg Locke to Prophet GeorDavie and countless social-media imitators, the formula is remarkably similar: dramatic manifestations, screaming, shaking, falling, claims of hidden spirits, supernatural impartations and repeated deliverance sessions presented as evidence that God is moving. But spectacle is not Scripture, and manifestation is not doctrine. The apostle Paul never once instructs a member of the Body of Christ to locate a demon of lust, rejection, anger or addiction and have it cast out. Instead, Paul tells the saved believer that he has been sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, that his body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, and that God “hath delivered us from the power of darkness.” That creates a massive problem for a movement whose entire ministry model depends upon convincing Christians that darkness is still living inside them.

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:” Colossians 1:13 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the more closely you compare modern Deliverance Ministry theology with Pauline doctrine, the more the whole system begins to unravel. Paul does not tell Christians to cast out their flesh; he tells them to mortify it. He does not tell Christians to seek an apostle with a greater anointing; he tells them to put on the whole armour of God and stand against the wiles of the Devil. He does not teach generational demon bondage, spiritual “legal rights,” endless impartations or recurring deliverance appointments. What he does warn about are “seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils,” false apostles and religious counterfeits masquerading as ministers of righteousness. Satan is real, devils are real and spiritual warfare is absolutely real—but none of that gives us permission to invent doctrine God never gave the Church. Before accepting the screaming, the manifestations and the testimonies, there remains one devastating question every Deliverance Minister must answer from the King James Bible: Show me where Paul taught the Church to do this. Today we tell you everything you need to know about the modern-day Deliverance Movement.

Take whatever you’ve been told, whatever you think you know, about the true origins of COVID-19 and the subsequent bioweapon known as the COVID vaccine, and throw it out the window because the truth is the real conspiracy theory. This is a story about a 2009 secret project called ‘LS18’ imagined by shadowy private venture capital firm Flagship Pioneering, and turned over to DARPA who then created the most visible secret government project in American history. By the time it was over, it would involve the governments of presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Donald Trump and NIAID director Anthony Fauci as the star players responsible for bringing it all to pass. What is LS18? Moderna and the COVID vaccine.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, long before COVID-19, the United States government was pouring money into Moderna’s experimental mRNA platform. DARPA awarded Moderna as much as $25 million in 2013 to develop mRNA medicines capable of responding rapidly to natural and engineered biological threats. BARDA later committed money to Moderna’s Zika program before providing a maximum award of $1.4 billion to advance its COVID vaccine through clinical development and FDA licensure. Moderna’s own federal filings acknowledge that its COVID vaccine was developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases—the agency directed by Anthony Fauci from 1984 through 2022. The government was not standing outside Moderna’s laboratory waiting to evaluate a privately developed product. Government scientists participated in its development. Government agencies funded the trials. The government financed manufacturing. The government purchased the doses. Government officials promoted the injections, and government policies created demand. Federal liability protections shielded the manufacturers. This was not a normal relationship between a government regulator and a private pharmaceutical company. This was an integrated government/corporate MAFIA-style operation.

This was never simply the story of one vaccine or one pharmaceutical company. It’s the all-too true story of what happens when government, medicine, secret military research, corporate profit, media propaganda and emergency authority merge into a single apparatus. It is literally the greatest scandal in American history, and the most deadly coordinated global attack ever conceived and carried out.

Trump’s Operation Warp Speed supplied the money, military organization and unprecedented acceleration.
Fauci and NIAID supplied the scientific partnership, institutional authority and public-health messaging.
Moderna supplied the commercial product and collected billions in revenue.
Biden supplied the mandates, employment pressure and federal enforcement.
The media portrayed questioning as dangerous misinformation.
The pharmaceutical companies received sky-high profits and liability protection.
What did the American people get? Plenty. We received endlessly-shifting bogus guidance, arbitrary restrictions, economic devastation, coerced medical decisions and endless demands to trust officials who repeatedly resisted scrutiny. People who dared to oppose the Moderna machine were blocked, censored, ridiculed and deplatformed. When it was all over and the dust settled, not a single person in government took responsibility for their actions. Delay, Deny, Defend. Today we follow the money trail, you won’t like where it leads, but it will lead you to the truth whether you can receive it or not.
