NTEB Prophecy News Podcast
As The War With Iran Goes From Bad To Worse, Suddenly First Lady Melania Has A Lot To Say About Jeffrey Epstein And His Files
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
As Iran Dominates Headlines, First Lady Melania Trump’s Epstein Files Statement Looks Like A Strategic Attempt To Flood The Zone
They did not roll Melania Trump out to ‘fall on the sword’ yesterday by accident. They did it because the walls are closing in, the Iran narrative is cracking, and somebody inside that machine decided it was time to change the subject before the subject changed them. So out of the blue, First Lady Melania gets in front of the mic to disavow Jeffrey Epstein and his files. Are you crazy, why?? If Hollywood made a movie about all this stuff, no one would believe it. Yet, we’re here on Day 2,216 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve.
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Franklin D. Roosevelt, our 32nd U.S. President, is widely credited with saying: “In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” Apply that to what First Lady Melania said yesterday in a move that no one saw coming, and you have all the ingredients for an end times conspiracy thriller. Only in this movie, everything is real. At the same moment this Epstein firestorm is reigniting, the administration is under pressure over Iran, military escalation, and instability tied to the Strait of Hormuz. Is it all going so badly for Donald Trump that this type of a catastrophic reset was needed? Apparently so. From the political fixed perspective, this is classic ‘flood the zone, split the headlines, and force the public to look in two directions at once’ messaging. When an administration is wobbling abroad, it often reaches for spectacle at home. This is not conspiracy theory, this is happening in real-time.
So the question is on everyone’s mind today is who made her do it? Maybe nobody had to “make” her. Maybe lawyers told her more material was coming. Maybe advisers told her silence was no longer safe. Maybe the White House understood that a First Lady denial would generate exactly the kind of emotional, chaotic coverage they needed. But whatever the internal trigger was, this much is plain: the statement was coordinated, timed, and deployed for effect. My conclusion is simple. This was not confession, this was not courage, this was containment. It was an attempt to draw a hard line before the facts drew one for them. It was an attempt to redirect a dangerous narrative before it metastasized. And it was an attempt to create just enough noise, outrage, and confusion to bury the deeper question: what else is still coming out, and who inside Trump world already knows it? That’s the real story, and today we give you everything you need to know, from every angle, to help you make sense of all of it in light of end times prophecy found inside your King James Bible.

Harbinger’s Daily
By Tony Perkins: This week, the nation’s largest abortion mill, Planned Parenthood, released its annual report, and it was a banner year for the abortion giant, setting a record of over 400,000 abortions.
During the period covered by the report, Planned Parenthood received more than $2.1 billion in total revenue, with about 40% of that coming from taxpayers. The report reflects a time before the “One Big Beautiful Bill” temporarily defunded them for one year. But as we warned when the Senate reduced that defunding from 10 years to one, it would be short-lived. That provision expires in July, unless Congress includes it in reconciliation 2.0, which begins in the Senate this coming week as lawmakers return from the Easter recess.
However, Congressional leaders have made clear that reconciliation 2.0 is focused on ending the prolonged shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, making sure the entire department is funded, including immigration enforcement. With the GOP’s historically slim 218-214 majority in the House, leadership must keep nearly the entire conference unified. That leaves little room for additional priorities, meaning the bill will likely be narrowly focused and not include the defunding of the abortion giant.
So where does that leave the roughly two-thirds of Republican voters who identify as pro-life? The faded, brittle confetti of pro-life victories from five years ago offers little consolation amid a growing string of setbacks. What began as a 10-year defunding effort was reduced to one and is now about to expire. And earlier this month, the Trump administration effectively stepped back from the fight to remove Title X funding from abortion chains.
But there is more.

Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: For decades, NATO has been the cornerstone of transatlantic security. The United States has been the alliance's engine, supplying funding, troops, and strategic reach that no other member can match. In return, Europe promised partnership -- not perfect alignment, but reliability.
That compact was tested, and in many ways strained, during Operation Epic Fury in Iran. As U.S. forces prepared to act, several European allies restricted access to bases, limited overflights, or imposed operational conditions. Some stayed on the sidelines, arguing that Iran was not their war. From Washington's perspective, it looked like allies had abandoned the United States at the very moment it needed support. From European capitals, the hesitation reflected domestic politics, public opinion, and a long-standing debate about when Europe should intervene militarily abroad.
The tension is real, and it goes beyond rhetoric. The U.S. spends roughly 3.2% of GDP on defense, vastly outpacing most NATO members. Germany, France, and the U.K., despite their political clout, typically hover near the 2% guideline. For decades, American policymakers have urged Europe to spend more, modernize forces, and assume a larger share of operational responsibility. Yet even with gradual improvements, frustration in Washington has reached a boiling point.

Geller Report
By Pamela Geller: Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) has introduced a bill (click here) finally designating CAIR a terrorist organization. The bill documents CAIR’s establishment as a public relations front for Hamas and its status as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial (2007–2008), in which founding board member of CAIR’s Texas chapter, Ghassan Elashi, was sentenced to 65 years in prison for funneling over $12 million to Hamas.
Roy’s bill lays out CAIR’s origins as a front for Hamas and cites its designation as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007–2008 Holy Land Foundation trial. In that case, Ghassan Elashi—a founding board member of CAIR’s Texas chapter—was sentenced to 65 years in prison for channeling more than $12 million to Hamas.
Earlier attempts to designate CAIR—through congressional proposals and state-level actions in Texas and Florida—have faced legal hurdles, in part because they sought to classify the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, a designation typically reserved for overseas entities engaged in violence. Roy’s approach instead relies on civil penalties for organizations found to support terrorism, aligning more closely with existing federal law and increasing its likelihood of withstanding judicial scrutiny.
As co-chair of the Sharia-Free America Caucus, Roy is leading a broader congressional push focused on confronting radical Islamist threats. The 60-member caucus has held hearings and used floor time to spotlight the issue and advance legislative responses.
Bush should have done it right after 9/11 instead of platforming them in some pathetic attempt to mollified jihad terror groups.

Israel 365 News
By Staff Writer: After forty days of restricted access at the Western Wall Plaza, Jerusalem’s holy sites reopened on Thursday morning, restoring full public worship following a shift in defense policy and updated Home Front Command guidelines. By sunrise, the plaza was already filling, with thousands of worshippers returning to the Western Wall after a prolonged period in which entry had been limited to roughly fifty people at a time.
From the early morning hours, the scene at the Western Wall shifted rapidly from quiet restriction to mass prayer. Worshippers arrived in steady streams, many offering prayers of thanksgiving alongside supplications for the well-being of IDF soldiers and security forces, the recovery of the wounded, and the security of the State of Israel. The Western Wall Heritage Foundation confirmed that the tefillin station at the entrance to the men’s section, along with access to the Western Wall Tunnels, also resumed normal operations. Reservations for visits were reopened through the Foundation’s website and by phone at 5958.
Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, Rabbi of the Western Wall and Holy Sites, described the return as the restoration of a long-awaited rhythm of prayer at the center of Jewish life. “It is moving to see the Jewish nation, in all its diversity, once again streaming to the Western Wall Plaza – the beating heart of the Jewish people – after an extended period of restrictions,” he said. He added that the return of large numbers of worshippers reflects “the deep need that became evident during the days of fighting,” emphasizing that expanded access must remain “responsible and within an appropriate framework.”
