Pope Francis Preparing To ‘Test Market’ Ordaining Married Catholic Priests And Letting Women Become ‘Ministers’ In The Amazon
Pope Francis released a document for a meeting of Catholic bishops from the Amazon, expected to evaluate ordaining elderly married men as priests.
A document for a meeting of Catholic bishops from the Amazon, expected to evaluate ordaining elderly married men as priests for the vast region, says the Church should make “daring proposals”.
“And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” Revelation 17:18 (KJV)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Pope Francis has repeatedly stated that the Catholic Church is a woman, and in this the Bible is in complete agreement. Revelation 17 calls her a ‘harlot’, a ‘mystery’, and ‘babylon’, chapter 18 tells us how God will destroy her in the time of Jacob’s trouble. In fact, Catholicism centers around goddess worship, and not Jesus Christ. The Catholic rosary is comprised of ten ‘Hail Marys‘ to every one ‘Our Father’. Official Vatican teaching makes Mary a sinless human being, something that only Jesus Christ ever was. Official Vatican teaching says that Mary is ‘the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix’. The Amazon will be the Vatican proving ground for married priests and women ministers.
A preparatory document released on Friday also says the meeting, known as a synod, taking place in October 2019, should consider conferring on women in the area some “type of official ministry”. The comments were made during the presentation of the preparatory document for the summit of bishops next year focusing on the Pan-Amazon region and its peoples, called “Amazonia: New paths for the Church and for an Integral Ecology.”
The synod will include bishops and other representatives from the nine countries of the Amazon basin and other groups, including indigenous peoples. The document re-states Pope Francis’ calls to protect the Amazon from business and consumer greed, saying the region and its natural habitat were vital for the planet.
It calls for a solution to the problem of a lack of priests to say Mass for the people in the area of more than three million square miles.
“One of the main points to be heard is the cry of thousands of communities deprived of the Sunday Eucharist for long periods of time,” the document says. Only priests can say Mass. The document calls for a “process of discernment” within the Church to respond to the “concrete realities of the Amazonian people”.
It says the Church presence in the Amazon basin “has been spread precariously thin” because of the vast territory and its cultural diversity.
The synod is expected to discuss the possibility of ordaining “viri probati” – Latin for men of proven character – to deal with the shortage of priests. Such men would be elderly, outstanding members of the local Catholic community and with grown-up families.
Pope Francis, in an interview with a German newspaper last year, said he was willing to consider ordaining older married men as priests in isolated communities, but has ruled out making celibacy optional to tackle a shortage of clergy.
“We have to give a thought to whether ‘viri probati’ are a possibility. We then also need to determine which tasks they could take on, such as in isolated areas,” he was quoted as saying.
He ruled out opening the priesthood to all married men or watering down the Catholic Church’s commitment to celibacy, seen as a virtue that frees priests to devote their lives fully to serve God.
The preparatory document also says that, given the size of the region: “It is necessary to identify the type of official ministry that can be conferred on women, taking into account the central role which women play today in the Amazonian Church.”
The document did not elaborate. It ended with a 30-point questionnaire in which members of the Church in the Amazon were invited to give their opinion of the main challenges facing the area. (Reporting By Philip Pullella; Editing by Janet Lawrence)

NTEB SUNDAY SERVICE: The Whole Armour Of God Is An Unimpeachable Necessity As We Watch The End Times Swirling All Around Us
The whole armour of God for us here in the 21st century is that dusty, old-fashioned ‘word of a king’ we call the King James Bible, do you have it?
Today was the last Sunday Service of 2024, and at Bethany Baptist Church this morning there was a little bit of end times excitement in the air during Sunday School, Sunday Service and even our singing seemed a little more charged up than usual. Though we had some of our regular people out, many were there and a number of new people as well. Praise the Lord! Our little ‘church in the woods’ is growing, and there is such a good Spirit there as it grows, it’s truly a blessing.
“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11 (KJB)
My message today was on the whole armour of God and its importance as these end times swirl around us. At the risk of oversimplifying, let me just say that the whole armour of God is God’s preserved word as found in the Bible He wrote. The ‘word of the king’ and the power that comes with that word, that’s your armour. God didn’t create a PDF, didn’t make a web site, and didn’t use social media, He wrote a Book. Do you have it? This message was preached live this morning at Bethany Baptist Church in Saint Augustine, Florida, and we invite you to come and be a part of the new work God is doing there.

We Have All The Tools At The NTEB KJV Bookstore You’ll Need To Be Prayed Up And Prepared For Whatever The Lord May Bring Your Way In 2025
Filling your cabinets with canned goods is not how you prepare for what’s coming in 2025, but fervent prayer and Bible study with the Lord who saved you is.
When we were at the end of 2019, it felt very much like we were about to enter a time of high prophetic activity, we warned about it many times on our broadcasts leading up to the new year, and as it turns out, we were spot on. 100%. It feels just like that now, as the drones buzz overhead and the tech titans prepare to take control of the Oval Office. If you are a soldier of the Lord Jesus Christ, you’re going to need to be prepared, and at the NTEB Bookstore, we’ve got you covered.
“No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” 2 Timothy 2:4 (KJB)
How’s your prayer life? Is it a daily, vibrant and active part of your ongoing walk with the Lord? Come on, be honest. We have added a number of great books on effectual, fervent prayer, as well as some really good devotionals. All King James, of course. Your prayer life is one-half of your lifeline with the Lord, the other half is reading God’s preserved word and having some kind of a daily devotion based on what you read. Filling your cabinets with canned goods is not how you prepare for what’s coming in 2025, but fervent prayer and Bible study with the Lord who saved you is. Let’s get to it.
After you get your prayer life firing on all cylinders, the next thing you’ll need to do, if you’re a Bible believer, is to have a cache of gospel tracts, New Testaments, Bibles and other literature with which to witness to people on the street with. We have everything a street preacher needs, as well as everything an everyday witness for Jesus will need to engage people in conversation with. We are also expanding out lineup of Spanish witnessing materials so check it out!
Last but not least, and super important, is making sure that you have an answer when someone you are witnessing to asks you a question. Our selection of King James Bible commentaries features the very best in rightly divided and dispensationally correct teaching from men like Clarence Larkin, Peter Ruckman, Bill Grady, Sam Gipp and many others.
Check out what’s new at the NTEB Bible Believers Bookstore online, or come visit us at 209 N 4TH Street in Palatka, Florida. We have even more great stuff at the Bookstore, so come check it out soon.

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: The COVID ‘Vaccine’ Is The Greatest Bioweapon Ever Released, But Will The Parties Responsible For It Ever Face Justice?
Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci and Klaus Schwab are the ‘Big Three’ of the COVID-19 bioweapon conspiracy, and today they are back in the news as HHS moves to shield them.
The COVID Vaccine is in the news once again as we learn that the Big Pharma drug makers who created it just got a Christmas present from the outgoing Biden administration in the form of a pass regarding being held accountable for their deadly clot shot. The Department of Health and Human Services just extended the Covid Vaccine Liability Shield through to 2029. You know what I think? I think in 2025 we need a Nuremberg 2 to bring to justice the main suspects behind the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on our global population. Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci and Klaus Schwab. Let’s start there.
“But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.” Job 13:4 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, it was the boldest of crimes, one plotted in the secret chambers of Event 201 and carried out openly in the main stream disinformation media. A bioweapon was invented and patented in the United States, released in a US-funded lab in Wuhan China, we call it the COVID-19 Coronavirus. An even bigger bioweapon was then released to combat it, the COVID vaccine. There were many perpetrators conspiring to pull this off, but today on this episode want to focus on ‘The Big Three’ and they are Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci and Klaus Schwab. We will never let this story die, as it represents to date the greatest and most diabolical event ever perpetrated against the world in general, and the American people in particular.

On our Sunday and Wednesday night radio bible study, we are preaching and teaching the gospel of the grace of God, rightly divided and dispensationally correct, to a truly global audience who is hungry for the word. These programs would not be possible without your generous support. Listen to just a few of the recent comments we have gotten:
- I thanked God for sending to your website in 2015 , I live in the South of France near Nice and let me tell you here there isn’t any Bible Believing church at all, the sad reality of France is that is full of Freemasons and Muslims. You came to me at the time I was going to take my own life because of my job. You’re anointed person and I pray for you, family and ministry because you’re a blessing to all of us. May God bless you always. I know I’ll meet you in heaven one day. Lots of Love from your sister in Christ, Paula.
- “Hi Geoffrey and staff, Today is my one year anniversary that I got saved on your podcast! I am now a KJB only, I threw away my other two versions I had. I was shocked to learn of the differences and how the new versions twist the words of God, and dilute the message at best. Thank you for the fabulous bible education and fire for the Lord. I donate on your website throughout the year. Thanks for all that you do.” Donna
- “The sole purpose of this email to you is to let you know how much we have been blessed by your amazing ministry/website. ‘We’ is my wife and I, in our early forties, 3 kids, professing, churchgoing, bible believing Christians in The Netherlands. Since two months, I listen to your bible studies on Sunday evening, and since this week also to your prophecy podcast. I listen to them in the archives, because of the 6 hour time difference. The shofar and the blessing at 0:30 into the study never fails to make tears in my eyes. We are praying for you, we are praying for your voice, that it lasts in these incredible busy times for you. Listening to your podcasts, you seem to do it effortlessly, talking, scanning the chatbox for questions, diving into the texts, from Genesis to Revelation and everything in between, I love it when you realize after 1:30h into the study, actually a lot more subjects need to be addressed! Thank you for all your work and effort, you are doing an amazing job. Although it all seems effortlessly, I know it is not…Our faith is strengthened by your work and we are able to testify in a better way to the people around us!” Wouter D. van der Wiel
- “Wanted to send you encouragement and thank you for all you are doing!! I’ve been reading from this website for about 5 years and I’ve been on this at least 10 times a day. It’s the most honest prophecy website in history. And you have ministered to me greatly. This lockdown has been amazing as God gets us unto himself and smooths out the paths for us. I was reading devotional from Kenneth Copeland and during that time you had really hit That ministries hard. I was not Word Faith but I was feeding off his teaching. During this time I have removed Kenneth Copeland I wanted to thank you for your exposure of his ministry. Holy Spirit is truly the leader of all truths. The bible study on Bill Gates was tremendous. And I had the same check in my spirit as you did. He’s the guy that gonna lead this one world revolution Amazing times we live in. I’m super excited and living in total victory and peace. Once again thank you for the time you put in your reward in heaven will truly be great. Looking forward to this coming week. My prayer tonight is this …Father send Your Son!! DG
- “Thank you oh so much for sound teaching. I am so thankful and blessed for clicking on your channel. I have been on your Facebook page since 2011 and never subscribed to you-tube channel until today. I loved the live recording of singing, what a delight to hear the joy of the Lord in the voices of the congregation. So wonderful to hear the part about Luke 12:36, that has made my eyebrows furrow when I read and therefore I have always steadfast to not leaning on my own understanding. May God continue to bless you, your family friends and loved ones. All Glory be to Jesus, my Saviour Redeemer and King, Amen.” Susan Anderson
- “Loved this teaching! Presented in a clear contextual manner that was easy to follow along. You connected the dots for me that had previously brought so much confusion, namely the 4th seal covenant, the 5th seal tribulation saints, and the 6th seal 2nd Coming of Christ AFTER the wedding of the Body/Bride of Christ IN HEAVEN. Wow, after 41 years since my being born again by the Holy Spirit in to the Body of Christ, I finally have the answers to end the confusion. What joy and peace has flooded my heart! Thank you for this encouraging teaching of the Word.” SB
- “I am from Sri Lanka and listen to the radio Bible study every week.” Nihal Perera
Nothing thrills my soul like teaching the word of God, it is what the Lord called me to do 29 years ago, and Now The End Begins is the vehicle in which I am able to do it. How exciting it is to be able to teach the Bible to tens of thousands of people per year. Like I told you with the first post of 2020, I have dedicated myself now full-time to NTEB, and it is only through your generous support that such a thing is possible.

I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love.
