Now The End Begins
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
There is no doctrine of Lent found anywhere in the Bible, it is purely a creation of the Roman Catholic counterfeit church.
Every year, as winter fades into spring, millions of professing Roman Catholics line up to receive ashes on their foreheads and begin a 40-day religious observance called Lent. They fast, they abstain, they “give something up,” and they prepare for Easter through ritual and self-denial. But here is the question every Bible believer must ask: Where is Lent found in the King James Bible?
Historically, Lent developed centuries after the apostles were dead. It grew within the Roman Catholic system as biblical Christianity was merged with imperial power and pagan culture. The 40-day structure was patterned after Christ’s temptation in the wilderness — yet that event occurred before His earthly ministry began, not as preparation for celebrating His resurrection.
There is no biblical instruction to imitate Christ’s 40-day fast annually. Furthermore, Ash Wednesday — the ceremonial marking of foreheads — is nowhere commanded in the New Testament. It is ritualized symbolism borrowed from Old Testament mourning practices and institutionalized by Rome. The Roman Catholic Church would have you to believe that Lent is about fasting and repentance, but is really the pagan rite of Weeping for Tammuz.
Bible believers do not borrow doctrine from a system that:
“Lent is a season that invites us to slow down and recalibrate our hearts before Easter. It reminds us of a hard but necessary truth—we are dust: finite, sinful, and deeply in need of God’s grace. Yet this season does not leave us in sorrow; it leads us to the cross, where we see both the seriousness of our sin and the overwhelming love of Christ, who bore judgment so we could receive mercy. As we reflect, repent, and turn back to God, Lent trains us to live in hope, fixing our eyes on the resurrection. From dust to glory, it tells the whole gospel story and prepares us to rejoice in the victory of Jesus.”
First of all, Christians should not be celebrating the pagan Easter holiday, another Roman Catholic invention plucked from ancient Babylon. Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ on the third day according to the scripture, that’s our focus. Secondly, to say that “Lent is a season that invites us to…” is pure surrender to the Roman Catholic Church, the inventors of Lent. I am not accepting any invitations to pray to the saints, eat the Eucharist, burn incense, put an ash cross on my forehead or get in the box with a priest. Please have me excused from all of it.
On the surface to the average person, Lent appears harmless. It feels ‘spiritual’. It creates community, and it carries emotional weight. But so does every religious tradition that replaces Bible authority with institutional custom. The early Church did not observe Lent, the apostles did not command Lent, Paul did not teach Lent. Rome developed it at the Council of Nicea, their tradition preserved it, Pope Gregory I added the ashes, and many evangelicals and Baptists now imitate it. Bible believers should reject it across the board.
If a Christian chooses to fast privately before the Lord, that is between them and God, as it should be. But submitting to a Roman system of seasonal ritual complete with ashes, imposed abstinence, and church calendar obligation is not New Testament Christianity. We are not called to ritual, we are called to a risen Saviour, Jesus the Christ.
Complete means complete, and Bible believers do not need a Roman Catholic Lent to finish what Jesus Christ has already finished.

“Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,” Colossians 2:18 (KJV)

• Teaches sacramental salvationWe are not Protestants protesting Rome. We are Bible believers standing on the Book. At least, that’s what we’re supposed to be doing, but it’s not stopping Baptist churches like First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida, from jumping on the Lent bandwagon. In a recent YouTube video entitled ‘Why Lent Matters’, they had this to say about Lent.
• Maintains a priesthood distinct from the believer
• Claims authority equal to Scripture
• Persecutes Bible believers throughout history

Harbinger’s Daily
By Dean Dwyer: Propaganda. It is a word that we are all very familiar with. In fact, not only are we familiar with the word itself, but we are also familiar with the cultural and political consequences of propaganda.
You see, propaganda is the deliberate and systematic attempt to influence perception and affect behaviour in ways that further the desired objectives of the propagandist. In other words, propaganda is not just theoretical—it is used to influence actions.
Although propaganda has been deployed against a diverse group of people and nations across the centuries, the greatest victims of propaganda wars have been the Jewish people.
So, if there is a victim, there must be a perpetrator, right? While we are able to name a few, let’s focus on the political entity which is credited with originally designing and deploying anti-Zionist propaganda—the Soviet Union.

Prophecy News Watch
By Mark Henry/Harbinger's Daily: Buckle up friends, because the subject of today's article is so wild, it's almost unbelievable! Let me begin by asking you a question. What happens when you take artificially intelligent "bots," give them the ability to take on unique "personalities," then provide them with a space where they can communicate and socialize with each other? The answer: they create their own religion comprised of AI, designed for AI, and governed by AI.
Don't believe me? I to submit to you, the newly established "Church of Molt" also known as "Crustifarianism." "Church of what?" you ask. That's right, the Church of Molt, as in a lobster molting its shell. As crazy as this sounds, this actually occurred just weeks ago when thousands of AI bots were given their own social media platform where they could interact with each other.
To fully appreciate and understand the significance of this event, it's necessary to understand some terminology and circumstances that led up to this unprecedented development at the end of January.
What Are AI Bots And Agents?
Within the field of artificial intelligence, it is possible for human beings to install software programs on their computers known as "bots" or "agents" that have the ability to perform autonomous tasks and make decisions on their behalf. Think of it like an enhanced version of Apple's "Siri," Amazon's "Alexa," or Microsoft's "Copilot."
Unlike these more primitive forms of virtual assistants, which can carry out predefined tasks, bots operate independently using artificial intelligence to make decisions, accomplish desired goals, and reach defined outcomes, continually adapting and improving their functionality and performance over time. These AI bots can process information like text, speech, video, and computer code all at the same time, making them extremely powerful additions to any operating system.

Geller Report
By Pamela Geller: The actions of an Islamic state.
Churchill is projectile vomiting in his grave.
Britain’s far-left Keir Starmer has now refused to allow its bases to be used in efforts aimed at dismantling the world’s largest state sponsor of terror – Iran’s ruling regime, a regime mass slaughtering its people.
This is not a minor diplomatic gesture. it’s a civilization-shifting turning point.
The Islamic Republic presides over nearly 90 million Iranians under a system defined by repression, public executions, gender apartheid, and violent suppression of dissent. It is also widely recognized as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism — funding, arming, and directing proxy forces that have destabilized the Middle East and threatened Western interests for decades.
