“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

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 5 Mothers Mentioned In The Messianic Line Of Jesus

NTEB
 The Bible Believers Sunday Service
 Pastor Geoffrey Grider | NTEB Founder, Author & Editor-in-Chief

The 5 Mothers In The Messianic Line Of Jesus Show That God’s Promise Was Preserved By Grace And Fulfilled In Jesus Christ

Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus Christ does something startling and deliberate when it identifies Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. In a record dominated by fathers and sons, the Holy Spirit stops the reader and shines a light on five mothers whose stories preach the mercy, sovereignty, and prophetic precision of God. Thamar reminds us that the promise of God survives the failure of men. Rachab shows that saving faith can reach into a doomed Gentile city and pull out a sinner marked for mercy. Ruth stands as the redeemed Gentile bride brought under the wings of the God of Israel through the kinsman redeemer. Bathsheba, identified not by name but as “her that had been the wife of Urias,” keeps David’s sin in the record and proves that Bible truth does not whitewash its heroes. Then Mary appears, not as an object of worship, but as the chosen virgin vessel through whom “Jesus, who is called Christ” entered the world according to the scriptures.

“And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.” Matthew 16:1 (KJV)

Together, these five mothers declare that the line of Christ was never preserved by human purity, religious respectability, or spotless family history. It was preserved by the faithfulness of God. There is scandal in the line, Gentile blood in the line, widowhood in the line, failure in the line, sorrow in the line, and finally a virgin birth at the end of the line. That is not an accident; that is doctrine in genealogic form. God is showing us that the Saviour did not come from a sanitized human record, but into the very ruin He came to redeem. Every mother in that line points beyond herself to the promised Seed, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham, and the Son of God. The glory is not in the bloodline itself, but in the Christ who fulfilled it, entered it, and rose above it.

🕇 That’s My King, Do You Know Him?

Synopsis: The late Dr. S. M. Lockridge, a pastor from San Diego, California said these words in a sermon in Detroit in 1976:

“My King was born King. The Bible says He's a Seven Way King. He's the King of the Jews - that's an Ethnic King. He's the King of Israel - that's a National King. He's the King of righteousness. He's the King of the ages. He's the King of Heaven. He's the King of glory. He's the King of kings and He is the Lord of lords. Now that's my King.

Well, I wonder if you know Him. Do you know Him? Don't try to mislead me. Do you know my King? David said the Heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork. My King is the only one of whom there are no means of measure that can define His limitless love. No far seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of the shore of His supplies. No barriers can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing.

He's enduringly strong. He's entirely sincere. He's eternally steadfast. He's immortally graceful. He's imperially powerful. He's impartially merciful. That's my King. He's God's Son. He's the sinner's saviour. He's the centerpiece of civilization. He stands alone in Himself. He's honest. He's unique. He's unparalleled. He's unprecedented. He's supreme. He's pre-eminent. He's the grandest idea in literature. He's the highest personality in philosophy. He's the supreme problem in higher criticism. He's the fundamental doctrine of historic theology. He's the carnal necessity of spiritual religion. That's my King.”


Dr. S.M. Lockridge Bio
Shadrach Meshach Lockridge (March 7, 1913 – April 4, 2000) was the Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, a prominent African-American congregation in San Diego, California, from 1953 to 1993. He was known for his preaching across the United States and around the world.

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.

Perilous Times Are Here! May 17, 2026 – Weekend Edition ICYMI

Signs of The Times Banner News Briefs Header Jesus Quote News Header






Synopsis: The news of the day and how it affects you as a Christian. It’s the Friday News Round-Up and Comment broadcast. Here’s a sample of what host Jim Schneider presented for listeners:

President Trump lauded the relationship between the U.S. and China during a two-day summit in Beijing.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping warned President Trump that clashes and even conflicts over Taiwan could imperil economic ties between the world’s two largest economies.

Chinese customs appear to have halted export clearances for hundreds of U.S. beef plants on Thursday, hours after Reuters reported the long-awaited licenses had been approved amid a summit between the U.S. and Chinese presidents in Beijing.

Eileen Wang, who served as the mayor of Arcadia, California, has pleaded guilty to acting as an illegal foreign agent of China and has resigned from her role.

A jury has found a Chinese-American, who ran Beijing’s undercover police station in New York City, guilty of being a foreign agent for China.

41 people are being monitored in the U.S. for Hantavirus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most of those being monitored were at one time on board a cruise ship that experienced an outbreak of the disease after it sailed from Argentina on April 1st.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that the war against Iran is not over, declaring that Israel and its allies must ensure that Tehran’s remaining enriched uranium and nuclear enriched infrastructure are removed or dismantled before the threat can be considered neutralized.

The apparent collapse of high-stakes U.S/Iran negotiations has intensified fears that senior figures inside Tehran’s leadership could flee to Russia seeking refuge to continue their insurgency and undermine any new regime.

President Trump Monday expressed disappointment with the Kurds amid the ongoing Iran war, asserting that their failure to cooperate and arm the Iranian people has prevented mass uprising.

Admiral Brad Cooper, the U.S. CENTCOM chief, talked about how Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis are now “completely cut off” from Iranian weapons and support.

On Wednesday the Pentagon signed a framework agreement with four defense contractors to mass produce low cost cruise and hypersonic missiles as U.S. officials work to expand domestic stockpiles.

The South Korean defense minister said Wednesday that Seoul may offer support for the U.S. led effort to guide commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz after a South Korean vessel came under fire in the waterway last week.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the UAE has been secretly carrying out attacks against Iran.

President Trump’s administration is moving aggressively to counter soaring fuel prices and stabilize global energy markets.

The Department of Energy says the agency has removed 30 pounds of enriched uranium from a research reactor in Venezuela.




NTEB Prophecy News Podcast
 AI Data Centers Are Taking Over Every City And Town In America To Prepare For The Arrival Of Antichrist And His Mark

Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
As AI Data Centers Drain Electricity From Towns And Homes, The Digital Nervous System Of The Coming Mark Of The Beast Is Rising In Plain Sight

The AI data center boom is not merely a technology story, it is a prophetic infrastructure story, and it ought to send a chill down the spine of every Bible believer paying attention. All across America, power grids are being strained, utility companies are making room for massive artificial intelligence campuses, and ordinary people are being told—directly or indirectly—that the needs of the machine now come before the needs of the home. This is ‘The Matrix’ on steriods, coming right now to Main Street USA.

“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” Revelation 13:7 (KJV)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the AI data centers themselves are very much part of the infrastructure layer that will support the coming Mark of the Beast system: identity, commerce, surveillance, permission-based access, biometric verification, digital currency, behavioral scoring, and real-time global enforcement. Revelation is crystal-clear, the Mark of the Beast will control all buying and all selling through a human-implantable biometric device inside your own body.

Massive AI data centers will control digital ID systems, facial recognition, CBDC frameworks, tokenized money, smart cities, biometric security, predictive policing, cloud-based health records, AI moderation and censorship, always-on tracking devices, and energy infrastructure redirected toward machine intelligence — that is the Beast system being framed out in plain sight. Today, we travel across America to bring you the real stories of what’s happening in towns and cities just like the ones you live in, showing how AI data centers are the literal fulfillment of Bible prophecy.



Harbinger’s Daily
By Tim Moore: Most people envision this life as a series of choices. What should I wear in the morning? What will I have for breakfast, let alone lunch and dinner? Which book will I read today? Who will I marry? What will I name my children?

In some situations, the choices seem unlimited. In fact, there is a psychological condition where people lose the ability to make a decision because they simply have too many choices.

Scripture simplifies our choices down to an either/or, A or B, black or white option: either accept Christ as Savior and Lord OR reject God’s gracious offer of forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life. The choice is yours, but the ramifications are everlasting.

When it comes to the Rapture, “What comes next?” depends on the decision you have made leading up to that instant in time.

For Those Who Choose... Wisely

The Rapture is the Blessed Hope of those who have trusted in Christ during the Church Age. In an instant, the dead in Christ will rise and those who remain here on Earth will rise to meet Him in the air. We will all be transformed in the twinkling of an eye.

In our newly glorified bodies, we will follow Jesus to the place He has been preparing for us. We will undergo the Bema Seat judgment to be rewarded with varying degrees of crowns, and we will rejoice with the heavenly host as we gather around the throne of God. At some point, we will participate in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb—enjoying the sumptuous feast Jesus spoke of in parable (Luke 14:16-24).




Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: There are moments when journalism stops being journalism and becomes something else entirely. This week, many critics believe The New York Times crossed that line.

In a controversial opinion column by veteran journalist Nicholas Kristof, the paper amplified explosive accusations claiming Israeli soldiers and prison guards engaged in widespread sexual violence against Palestinian detainees — including one allegation so grotesque and bizarre that it sounded ripped from medieval propaganda: that Israeli authorities allegedly trained dogs to rape prisoners.

The accusation immediately ignited outrage across Israel and among media watchdogs, legal experts, and even some critics of Israel who said the piece relied on deeply questionable sourcing and sensationalized claims. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a “blood libel,” while Israel’s government announced it was considering legal action against both the newspaper and Kristof personally.

But what made the story especially explosive was not merely what the Times published — it was when they published it.



Front Page Magazine
By Josh Hammer: “Retard Right” podcasters such as Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, as FrontPage readers know, are engaged in a conscientious brain rot op to subvert the MAGA movement—and, by extension, the United States—from within. These fifth column malcontents operate, whatever their varying reasons and whether intentionally or incidentally, to depress American resolve and advance the interests of America’s leading geopolitical and civilizational enemies.

High on that of traditional enemies of Judeo-Christian civilization is the Religion of Peace (Islam), for which the “retard Right” now regularly simps. A recent column of mine summarized some (and only some!) of Carlson’s own greatest Islam-simping recent hits:
Carlson has repeatedly taken to praising sharia law. … He has visited virtually seemingly every country in the Arab world, produced propaganda films for a few of them, and even announced his intention to buy a house a Qatar. He has called Hamas not a jihadist but a political organization, said he’d apologize to the family of Osama bin Laden, and has severely downplayed the Americans who have been killed in recent decades by Islamism. And … the eponymous Tucker Carlson Network, in a seemingly earnest post better suited for a satirical Babylon Bee headline, offered this cherry on top: “Muslims love Jesus.”



Through The Lens
 They’re Trying To
Silence Christians

Synopsis: Is the media being used to silence Christian voices and prepare the world for greater deception? In this episode of Through the Lens, Pastor Kurt Reed looks at Big Tech censorship, media control, disinformation campaigns, and how these trends connect to Bible prophecy and the coming Beast system.

From Google and TikTok restrictions to global efforts against so-called “disinformation,” this message challenges believers to recognize the spiritual battle over truth and to boldly stand for Jesus Christ in the last days.

Scriptures discussed include: John 8:32, Romans 12:2, Revelation 13, Daniel 7, Matthew 24, and 2 Thessalonians 2.

Watch now and be encouraged to stand firm, speak truth, and stay faithful to Christ.



Behold Israel — Amir Tsarfati
 Russia, Turkey, Iran… The Ezekiel 38 Alliance Is Forming

John – The ‘Beloved Disciple’ Of Jesus
Synopsis: A rare 1988 preformance by Dean (That Darn Cat!) Jones is Saint John in this intimate, inspiring one-man presentation. He has been punished by Rome for his faith in Christ Jesus and exiled to the Greek island of Patmos in the Aegean Sea around A.D. 96. He is all alone and has time to reflect and tell us about his life. Full of humor, strong in spirit, and resolutely committed to Christ, John shares his account of the events that changed the course of human history.


“I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.” – Revelation 1:9, KJV
