“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” ~ 2 Timothy 2:15

Synopsis: “The Bible is a collection of 66 books written by about 40 authors, in three different languages, on three different continents, over approximately 1600 years. The Bible claims to be inspired by God and completely inerrant (without error). "It is the single most reliable and true work of writing extant. It’s words give us wisdom, believing them makes us safe, and acting on them makes us holy. It contains within its living pages a revelation of the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. It’s doctrines are holy, it’s precepts are binding, it’s stories are true, and it’s decisions are immutable. The Bible contains light to direct us, living water to quench our thirst, and comfort to cheer us in times of despair. Jesus Christ is the grand subject of it all, and everything centers upon him. The Bible is the account of the work of God in history bringing to fruition his prophetic declarations concerning Jesus. It’s also the account of Jesus Christ, the Word of God, freely giving all mankind a way of reconciliation to God.” » Online KJV Audio Bible

‘Church of the Open Door’ Sermon 08.23.26
Synopsis: In one short parable, Jesus gives us a picture that reaches far beyond the kitchen. Dr. McGee explains how leaven in Scripture points to the subtle spread of error—and why believers must be grounded in the truth of God’s Word. It’s a timely reminder that the gospel is not about what we do for God, but about what Christ has already done for us. Be pointed again to the simplicity and sufficiency of His grace.

About Church of the Open Door
Built in 1914, the 4000-seat Church of the Open Door was conceived by R. A. Torrey who had come to Los Angeles to start a Bible institute (now known as Biola University) similar to Moody Bible Institute. Other pastors have included Louis T. Talbot (1932–1948) and J. Vernon McGee (1949–1970). The church is strictly non-denominational, though Evangelical. Its mission was to reach the lost of Los Angeles, which was reflected in the name ‘Church of the Open Door’ based on two passages of Scripture:

“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” - Jesus Christ, John 10:9 KJV

“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” - Jesus Christ, Revelation 3:8 KJV

🕇 The Point Of No Return

NTEB
 The Bible Believers Sunday Service
 Pastor Geoffrey Grider | NTEB Founder, Author & Editor-in-Chief
The Great White Throne Is Coming, the Books Will Be Opened, and Every Sinner Without Jesus Christ Will Face the Second Death With No Hope of Deliverance or Escape

The Great White Throne Judgment is the last courtroom, the final reckoning and the ultimate point of no return for the unsaved dead. Everyone standing there has already rejected God’s salvation, and no one will leave that throne justified. The books will be opened, every hidden work exposed and every excuse stripped away as sinners are judged according to their works. Death and hell will surrender their prisoners, proving that hell is not the final destination but the temporary holding place of the lost until judgment. After sentencing, they will be cast into the lake of fire, which the Bible calls the second death. There will be no advocate, no appeal, no repentance and no second chance—only the righteous judgment of a HOLY God. This will be the point of no return.

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.” Revelation 20:11 KJV

This terrifying reality is why we preach the gospel of the grace of God with urgency. During this present Church Age, salvation is freely offered to every sinner who will place his faith in the shed blood, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are not attempting merely to improve society, reform human behavior or make people more religious; we are warning souls to flee from the wrath to come. Every gospel tract, street sermon, missionary journey and personal witness is an opportunity to reach someone before death closes the door forever. The Great White Throne reminds the saved that evangelism is not optional religious activity—it is an urgent rescue mission. The time to believe is now, because there will be no gospel invitation given when the books are opened.

🕇 The Last Trumpet

A Teaching by Amir Tsarfati

Synopsis: In the Bible, the sounding of a trumpet often indicated that something important was about to happen – change was going to come or movement was about to take place. For those of us who are in Christ’s church, we eagerly await the sounding of one particular trumpet, the Last Trumpet, which will bring an incredible change, translating us from corruptible to incorruptible. But what exactly is this great event? Is it related to the Feast of Trumpets or the tribulation judgments, or is it something completely different? In his teaching, "The Last Trumpet", Amir eliminates the confusion surrounding this momentous occurrence by taking a practical who, what, when, and why approach in order to discover what it is the Bible says about the sounding of this horn. Throughout, Amir also reminds the believer of how joyous it will be when we hear this final trumpet sounding – a glorious moment that by all indications is coming very soon.

Jesus: This Do In Remembrance Of Me

14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

Now The End Begins
 Eisenhower Warned Us About The Military-Industrial Complex, Now ‘President Of War’ Donald Trump Is Building One Beneath The White House Ballroom

Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
From People’s House To Presidential Fortress As Trump Builds A Nuclear-Hardened Military Complex Beneath His Golden Ballroom

Donald Trump has spent years promoting himself as the great peacemaker, the man who would end wars and prevent World War III. Yet his most permanent architectural contribution to the American presidency is not a peace garden, a diplomatic center or a hall dedicated to reconciliation—it is a five-story military fortress buried beneath the White House. What began as a lavish ballroom with chandeliers, gold columns and thousand-seat state dinners is now being defended before the Supreme Court as an “integrated military complex” essential to surviving bombs, missiles, drones and even nuclear attack. The symbolism could not be more devastating: Trump talks like the president of peace, but he is rebuilding the People’s House for war. The Wall Street Journal reports that the Supreme Court has temporarily allowed construction to continue while considering the administration’s emergency appeal.

“And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Revelation 6:15-17 (KJV)

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a five-star general who understood war better than almost any president before or since, warned America in 1961 about the dangerous rise of the military-industrial complex. He cautioned that the combination of government power, military machinery and private industry could acquire “unwarranted influence” and endanger both liberty and democratic government. Sixty-five years later, Trump is constructing a literal military complex beside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Private corporations and wealthy elite donors finance the glittering ballroom above, while the government and military build the hardened command fortress below. Eisenhower’s warning is no longer merely hanging over Washington—it is being poured into the ground in nuclear-grade concrete.

The administration’s own Supreme Court filing removes all doubt about the true character of this structure. It describes five underground stories containing bomb shelters, military command-and-control capabilities, secure communications, emergency hospital facilities, missile-resistant columns, blast-proof glass, military-grade ventilation, sniper positions and a rooftop drone port. Above ground, visiting dignitaries will dine beneath crystal chandeliers; below their feet, military personnel will monitor tactical screens behind blast doors. The ballroom is the façade, but the bunker is the beating heart of his project.

This is the presidency Trump is physically preparing for: permanent threats, expanding militarization and catastrophic warfare. A true president of peace would be measured by the wars he ended and the bloodshed he prevented—not by the magnificence of the bunker he constructed for himself and future rulers. Trump may continue to speak the language of peace, but concrete tells the truth. Missiles, drones, bomb shelters, sniper nests and nuclear protection are not the architecture of a coming golden age. They are the architecture of a government expecting the world to burn. Donald Trump calls himself the president of peace, but his Military-Industrial Complex Ballroom reveals a president preparing for war.

 Humanist Congressman Says Secularism Is Gaining Ground In America, ‘Christian Nationalism’ Is Actively Trying To ‘Destroy Democracy’

By Decision Magazine: Secularism is making headway in the U.S., according to Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), while data from Pew Research Center paint a mixed picture.

Huffman, a humanist, became the second member of Congress in modern times to publicly identify himself as a “nonbeliever.” In Huffman’s book, “No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism,” published Aug. 18, Huffman calls “Christian nationalism” the most dangerous political movement in the U.S. and claims that it is actively trying to “destroy democracy.” He also accuses religious nationalists of being a “scorched earth insurgency.” His book cites laws mandating the Ten Commandment displays in public schools, as well as the Trump administration and government officials’ participation and initiation of Christian prayer services within federal agencies.

The Freethought Caucus, a member organization in the U.S. House founded by Huffman in 2018, promotes a strict view of separation of church and state under the perspective that government and public policy should be “based on facts, science, and reason.” The group now has 37 members, which is more than the Congressional Prayer Caucus. The Prayer Caucus’ 34 members representing both the House and Senate gather to pray and advocate for protecting public expressions of faith and religious freedoms.

In the past decade, elected lawmakers on Capitol Hill who said they were not affiliated with a religion or said they had an unspecific “other affiliation” has increased from 16 to 40.

Huffman says he wants fellow Democrats to act, calling them his “greatest frustration” on the topic because they have done little to stop “Christian nationalism” ideas.



Prophecy News Watch
 Nothing Has Changed:
New Leaders, Same Ideology

By Khaled Abu Toameh/Gatestone Institute: Nearly three years after Hamas's October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel and following the devastating war in the Gaza Strip, one might have expected a fundamental change in Palestinian public opinion.

The latest Palestinian public opinion poll, however, presents a disturbing picture.

The survey, conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) in the West Bank and Gaza Strip between August 5 and 8, 2026, reveals that although support for Hamas has declined, the fundamental political attitudes that have plagued Palestinian society for decades remain largely intact.

Hamas remains a major political force; convicted terrorists and Hamas leaders remain popular candidates for the Palestinian Authority (PA) presidency; overwhelming majorities oppose the unconditional disarmament of Hamas; and Iran, Hezbollah, and the Houthis in Yemen continue to enjoy remarkably high approval ratings.

Perhaps the most alarming finding concerns the identity of the Palestinians' future leaders.



Israel 365 News
 Jew’s “Whiteness” As Moral Scapegoating

By Gabriel Gordon: For progressive white people, the false notion that Jews are white serves the purpose of dumping their white guilt onto the eternal scapegoat of the Jews. If progressive white people can construct Jews as the epitome and essence of all the evil committed by white people, they can then use Jews as a moral scapegoat to transfer their own guilt onto the Jews. This maintains their self-image of moral superiority by “standing in solidarity” with the oppressed third world while simultaneously standing against the oppressive “white” Jews. They thus place themselves on the oppressed side of the oppressed-oppressor binary with “white” Jews on the side of the oppressors and white progressives on the side of the oppressed.

Ironically this sense of moral superiority comes from the modern social construct of whiteness wherein “whites” are seen as morally superior to all other peoples who are seen as “barbarians.” In this way progressive whites are just a liberal version of white supremacists with conservative white supremacists using Jew’s non-whiteness as a moral scapegoat. This sense of moral superiority combined with a recognition of the horrors of colonialism, slavery, apartheid, and genocide perpetuated by white peoples gives progressive whites a sense of cognitive dissonance. This stems from their need to maintain their self-perception as morally superior while also needing to be able to condemn their own moral failings as whites.

One cannot simultaneously perceive themselves as morally superior and at the same time recognize that their actions prove they are the opposite of morally superior, hence the cognitive dissonance. The answer to this dilemma is the same answer it has always been, namely the scapegoating of the Jews. Jews have always served as the scapegoat for the majority culture’s sense of guilt which has allowed them to continue to perceive themselves as morally superior. Such a self-perception of moral superiority was often even the catalyst for violence against Jews.

 Next Phase Of Surveillance Grid: Tech Startup Backed By President’s Son Pitches Its Humanoid Robot Soldiers To ‘Almost All National Security Agencies’

At The Border, On The Battlefields, And Soon To Be Deployed On The Streets Of America, The Militarized Robots Are Coming

By Leo Hohmann: America is quickly devolving into a militarized technocratic surveillance state and a story that recently appeared on the Fox News network is enough to make you shudder at the possibilities.

A company called Foundation Robotics is now discussing potential “national security deployments” of its Phantom humanoid robots along the southern border. Foundation Robotics is a Silicon Valley-based startup focused on developing advanced humanoid robots for military and industrial applications, replacing humans in American factories and along the front lines in wars and tense border-policing situations.

The company reportedly received up to $100 million in backing from Saudi royals and also has one of President Trump’s sons, Eric Trump, as its chief strategy adviser. Its CEO, Sankaet Pathak, was the CEO of the bankrupt fintech firm Synapse before it collapsed amid accusations of unethical investment practices.



Through The Lens Of Bible Prophecy
 They’re Preparing For The Third Temple

Synopsiss: They’re preparing for the Third Temple… and it may be further along than most people realize.

In this episode of Through the Lens, Pastor Curt Reed takes a closer look at the growing preparations surrounding the Temple Mount and why they could have major significance for Bible prophecy.

From priests being trained for temple service and vessels already being prepared, to renewed discussion of sacrifices, red heifers, changing prayer restrictions on the Temple Mount, and growing support for rebuilding the Temple, there is a lot happening right now.

What does the Bible say about the Third Temple? How could these preparations connect to the Antichrist, the Tribulation, and the return of Jesus Christ? And what is the difference between the coming Third Temple and the Millennial Temple described in Scripture?

As the pieces continue to come together, Christians should be paying attention, not with fear, but with hope and expectation.

Watch until the end as Curt explains why these developments matter and what they ultimately point toward.

The Kingdom of Judah’s Ancient History (1960)

Synopsis: Across the centuries many legends have grown around the biblical story of Ruth. All of them begin in the Jews’ ancient land of Judah (today’s so-called “West Bank”) later known as The Kingdom of Judah under the reign of King David (circa 1040 - circa 970 B.C. - Before Christ).

Inspired by the scriptural tale. Moabitess priestess Ruth is drawn both to a Judean man and to his talk of a forgiving God. After tragedy strikes, she begins a new life in Bethlehem.

The book of Ruth describes an episode in the time of the Hebrew’s Judges. It gives a lively picture of ancient life, with its manners and customs. Ruth was a great-grandmother of King David, and so is in the earthly ancestry of Jesus Christ. » Read the biblical story of Ruth - written circa 1322 B.C. (Before Christ)

One Of The Most Sympathetic Passages In Literature
“And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.” Ruth 1:16-17, written circa 1,322 B.C., King James Holy Bible
