Now The End Begins
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
Fulfillment Theology Versus Dispensational Truth Shows The Critical Difference Between Spiritualizing Israel And Rightly Dividing Scripture
Fulfillment theology is the belief that the promises, prophecies, covenants, and kingdom expectations in the Old Testament are “fulfilled” in Jesus Christ and, often, in the Church. In simple terms, it teaches that many things God promised to Israel are now spiritually fulfilled in Christ and the Church, rather than requiring a future, literal fulfillment for national Israel. But the danger is that Fulfillment Theology can become a softer, more polished version of Replacement Theology. It may avoid saying “the Church replaced Israel,” but it still spiritualizes Israel’s land, kingdom, throne, and national restoration promises into the Church. That is absolutely not what the Bible teaches.
God promised Israel a land, a kingdom, a throne, and national restoration. Fulfillment theology may say those promises are fulfilled spiritually in Christ and His people today. But the Bible says those promises still await literal fulfillment for Israel in the future kingdom. Fulfillment theology says that Israel’s promises are fulfilled in Christ and the Church. Dispensational theology says that Christ fulfills prophecy, but God’s literal promises to Israel remain intact and will be fulfilled in Israel, while the Church has its own distinct heavenly calling in this present dispensation. We see these things when we follows Paul’s command in 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJB) to ‘rightly divide’ the scriptures. If you don’t have a King James Bible, then it doesn’t say that in your bible because the Greek and Hebrew ‘scholars” removed it so you wouldn’t know to do it. This is why we stick with the God-honored King James Authorzied Version Holy Bible.
The Main Biblical Differences Between Fulfillment Theology And Dispensational Theology
The Bible recognizes three distinct classes of people in God’s dealings: the Jews, the Gentiles, and the church of God. Fulfillment theology tends to merge those distinctions by teaching that Israel’s promises are fulfilled spiritually in Christ and the Church. Dispensational theology rightly divides the word of truth and keeps God’s promises to Israel, the Church, and the nations in their proper biblical places. These three groups are not the same, they never were the same, and they will never be the same.

Harbinger’s Daily
By Jim Showers: Modern Israel is a miracle. When Mark Twain visited there in the 1800s, he left thinking it was the most miserable place on the face of the earth. The Ottoman Turks let it deteriorate into a barren wasteland. But when you visit Israel today, you see anything but barrenness. Israel is thriving. It has blossomed into a country with an economy much of the world envies. Why? Because God has His hand on the little Jewish nation and is using it—as He promised—to bless the world.
Innovation
Innovation drives much of Israeli society. Years ago, I toured a seed company in Israel that focuses on developing new foods and finding ways to produce more fruits and vegetables. The company understands the global need to feed the hungry.
The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) released a wonderful documentary called To Life: How Israeli Volunteers Are Changing the World. The film shows how Israel is not merely bettering its own country but helping the rest of the world, as well. The film follows six Israeli organizations working outside Israel to make the world a better place.
Israel has taken its advanced technology to Africa to help the nations there use solar power to pump water from the ground without electricity. Israel’s drip irrigation system allows them to grow crops using a minimal amount of water. Because of Israeli innovation, formerly starving Africans now grow and develop their own food.
Israel’s technological advancements shouldn’t surprise us because God said Israel would bless the world. Our cellphones, tablets, and computers all employ Israeli technology; and many medicines and medical procedures used every day in the United States were developed in Israel.

Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: A celebration is rising in one of the most haunting places on earth--and for many watching, it feels less like progress and more like a warning echoing from the past.
In early June 2026, thousands are expected to gather along the shores of the Dead Sea for "Pride Land," a four-day festival billed as the largest LGBT celebration the Middle East has ever seen. Organizers promise a temporary "Pride City" in the Judean Desert--complete with hotels, beach venues, music stages, and even family-friendly programming. Israel's official government channels have promoted it with a striking phrase: "Pride rises at the lowest place on earth."
At first glance, it reads like clever marketing.
But for many Christians who love and stand with Israel, those words land very differently.
Because the "lowest place on earth" is not just a geographical fact. It is a place layered with memory--biblical, historical, and deeply spiritual. And that is where this story begins to shift from celebration to something far more sobering.
The region surrounding the Dead Sea has long been associated with the account of Sodom and Gomorrah, described in Genesis 19. The meaning of that story has endured across generations: a society given over to moral confusion, ultimately facing divine judgment.
That is why this moment feels so jarring.
Not simply because a festival is happening--but because of where it is happening.

Geller Report
By Pamela Geller: The A-10 Warthogs Have Entered the Chat. In the wake of Iran’s refusal to negotiate over its highly enriched uranium and its continued attacks on commercial shipping, Donald Trump has decided to redefine the ceasefire on the US-Israeli side as well. Trump accused the IRGC of laying more mines in the Strait of Hormuz, where the US Navy had already begun minesweeping operations (Hot Air).
President Trump: I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be (Their naval ships are ALL, 159 of them, at the bottom of the sea!), that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. There is to be no hesitation. Additionally, our mine “sweepers” are clearing the Strait right now. I am hereby ordering that activity to continue, but at a tripled up level! Thank you for your attention to this matter (Truth).
