NTEB HOUSE CHURCH SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE: We Must Go To The ‘Least Of These’ With The Gospel Of The Grace Of God And The King James Bible!
It is my prayer that this Sunday Service message will awaken in you a desire to minister to the least of these, wherever they may be found.
Lately it seems that the Lord is opening up a door to us here at NTEB, through our Free Bible and Gospel Tract Program, and leading us more and more into specifically getting Bibles into the the hands of souls in homeless shelters, centers for abused women, and those souls in the jails and prisons. It reminds me of the trip I took to the Pacific Garden Mission back in 1993, as a baby Christian, and lived for a week right there in the shelter to learn how to do street ministry.
“Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Matthew 25:34-40 (KJB)
From the time I got saved, the Lord gave me a heart for the homeless, the first place I ever preached was a homeless shelter, and in 2015 He allowed me to feel just a little bit of what it’s like to be homeless. The heart of Christian ministry lies in bringing the gospel, all with a hot meal and something to drink, to the homeless, the downtrodden, the prisoner, the abused, the people that the Bible calls the ‘least of these’. Now, I understand that the passages in Matthew 25 I am quoting doctrinally have to do with how people treated the Jews in the time of Jacob’s trouble, but I am going to make a spiritual application here this morning. It is my prayer that this message will awaken in you a desire to minister to the least of these, wherever they may be found, and in doing so, bring the gospel to a lost and dying world in need of the Saviour.
This NTEB House Church Sunday Service starts at 11:00 AM EST, please join us and bring a friend!

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
- “I’ve been a listener to Geoffrey’s podcast on Spreaker for a couple of years and am so glad to see his show now available on iTunes. This show is scripturally and doctrinally accurate as well as informative. The NTEB podcast is where you can get all the latest updates on unfolding prophecy news and what’s more is Geoffrey backs it up with scripture. You do not want to miss out on the exceptional King James Bible teaching, and analysis of what’s going on in our world as it relates to scripture!” John Christopher
- “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’ve been banned from seeing my grandsons since I comforted the 4 1/2 year old with sharing Jesus loving the little children & telling him about the one who created him last he stayed overnight March 3rd. He was so excited to hear about Jesus! His dad (my son) was angry that I told him & wants me to apologize. I never will do so. If my own family won’t hear, I know there’s others searching for the truth. My heart grieves for all the lost who will spend eternity in hell if they reject the Lord Jesus Christ, the expectant hope of the world. He is not willing that any should perish.

THE BIG ONE: The Sun Rose This Morning Over Los Angeles To Reveal A Brutal Dystopian Landscape That Looks More Like The Aftermath Of A Nuclear Attack
The water system used to fight the Palisades fire in Los Angeles buckled under the demands of what turned out to be the most destructive fire in city history, with some hydrants running dry
I have no interest in politics other than using it to spread the gospel, but if I were the governor of California my main priority would not be climate change, sanctuary cities, healthcare for illegals or legislation to benefit transgenders. Those are the priorities of current governor Gavin Newsome. If I were the governor of California, my first priority would be fire preparedness, and my second would be earthquake preparedness. Everything else would fall in line behind that. Los Angeles is in ruins right now, not because of an “unprecedent natural disaster”, not because of “climate change” but because Gavin Newsom failed in preparing his state. Or, was it intentional? That’s the memo.
“Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;” Genesis 19:24 (KJB)
You have to admit, 2025 is off to a fantastically quick start from an end times perspective, so much so that the handwriting appears to be on the wall for the remaining 51 weeks of this new year. Ask yourself, if California is a state that is known for consistent and often-times brutal wildfires, why is there not a structure in place to be prepared for the next one, the “big one”. They have had decades to put such a system in place, the “big one” is actually happening right now, and the level of death, damage and destruction is eye-watering. This either happen through intentional neglect or intentional planning, but either way, it was intentional. Will we see 15-minute cities rising from the rubble? Pray for the families who lost loved ones, and pray that the gospel will be given out through street preachers as the city rebuilds.
Exhausted Firefighters battle devastating Los Angeles Pacific wildfires as winds calm somewhat
FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The devastation wrought by the hellish wildfires tearing through Los Angeles has been laid bare by a series of horrifying before and after images that emerged this morning. A slew of notable locations, including Sunset Boulevard that splits the upscale Pacific Palisades, were engulfed in punishing flames that tore through residential and commercial areas alike and reduced buildings to burnt-out husks. Banks, restaurants, gas stations and homes were left in smouldering ruins along the iconic boulevard, where bulldozers were forced to remove abandoned luxury motors, forging a path for emergency services and firefighters. The latest fires mean huge swathes of iconic southern California real estate from Malibu to Santa Monica, and from Pacific Palisades to Runyon Canyon, are ablaze – impacting millions caught off guard by the unprecedented spread and carnage.
Los Angeles lies in ruins. Was it from the intentional neglect of Gavin Newsom focused on climate change and sanctuary cities, or was it through intentional planning by the Deep State to create 15-minute cities from the rubble? This could have been prevented but it wasn’t, why? pic.twitter.com/GesZM8xhrS

As of Thursday morning, the largest inferno has consumed nearly 12,000 acres (4,856 hectares) in the picturesque Pacific Palisades neighborhood that is home to many film, television and music stars. In Studio City, several homes caught alight late on Wednesday after a fire broke out in a four-storey building and spread to neighboring properties.
At least five people have lost their lives in the disaster so far, with 2,000 structures obliterated and thousands of people left with nothing but ash across the city. The death toll is expected to rise as police and fire services prepare to deploy K-9 units trained to sniff out human remains.
More than 130,000 people are still under evacuation orders in Southern California as several notable TV, film and music stars took to social media to announce they had lost their homes.
California Governor Gavin Newsom meanwhile became emotional when asked about Donald Trump placing the blame on him for the disastrous wildfires, after the president-elect referred to the California Governor as ‘Gavin Newscum’ and said he was at fault for the disaster. Trump’s remark came as LA real estate developer Rick Caruso, whose Palisades Village properties were demolished by the inferno, blamed the shocking issue on ‘mismanagement’ and ‘systemic problems’ in the city after it emerged the hydrants were not filled by reservoir water.
‘This is a window into a systemic problem of the city — not only of mismanagement, but our infrastructure is old,’ he said, as the LA Times reported that firefighters were radioing their stations with reports that the hydrants were dry.
He went onto rail against LA Mayor Karen Bass – who was out of the country as the fire tore through the city earlier this week – and the Department of Water and Power (DWP) in a stern interview delivered to FOX News. Caruso – himself a former commissioner of the city’s Board of Water and Power – declared: ‘Everybody knew these winds were coming… you got to have water and my understanding is that the reservoir was not filled on time, or in a timely manner.
‘This is basic stuff… it’s all about leadership and management that we’re seeing a failure of and all of these residents are paying the ultimate price for that… Why don’t you call the mayor, who’s out of the country, and ask her? (why the fire hydrants are dry)’, he concluded. READ MORE

Free Bible Program
A Man In Great Need Was Told He Could Freely Receive A King James Bible At Our Bookstore, And Quietly Wept Tears Of Joy As He Held It In His Hands
When you support the Free Bible Program and Bibles Behind Bars, this is what you’re helping to do.
At Bethany Baptist Church during our Sunday Service time, Bro. Ed recounted a story in Sunday School about praying in need of a “hug” from the LORD, however He wanted to work that out. The LORD responded to Ed’s prayer by sending him a blessing that exactly fit his need. He always does. At the NTEB Bookstore on Monday, a man came in after being told that this was a place where he could freely receive a copy of God’s preserved word, and when it was delivered the LORD had a hug for both parties.
“He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” Romans 8:32 (KJB)
On Monday morning, I was in the back of the Bookstore in the Studio, testing the equipment and preparing the Monday Podcast, so I was not aware of what was happening up front. Intently focused on the work before me, I paid little attention to Lori coming in to sit at her desk, failing to notice that her eyes were moist with fresh tears. She sat for a moment then her voice snapped me to full attention, it was then I noticed her tears. When I asked what was the matter, Lori proceeded to recount for me what had just taken place up front. A man was sent over to our Bookstore, he was in great need of a Bible but unable to purchase one, and his friend had told him there was a place that could provide him with one. Lori showed him one or two of them, but the man quietly said his eyesight was so bad he was unable to see the print. Lori then handed him one with not just large print, but super giant print, and was pointing out the features of it, looking down at the Bible as she spoke. She noticed the man was quiet for a long moment, and when she looked up, his eyes were were quietly soaked with tears of joy. “I can see it”, he exclaimed, “I can see it!” I once was blind, and now I see, thank you LORD Jesus. Amen.

We give out so many thousands of Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions and gospel tracts, it can become a little rote at times, due to not usually getting to meet or even see the persons on the other end receiving them. But on Monday, the LORD sent a man into our shop who needed a Bible but had a blessing to give us, a hug from the LORD. Reminding us of just how much this means to the people we give Bibles to. We rejoiced in tears of utter happiness. As if that wasn’t enough, we received a letter today from a young man in Texas that said this – “Please send me a free King James Bible, my name is Parker, I am 14 years old, and I need one very badly. Thank you very much and may God bless you and your ministry in Jesus Name, Amen”. When you support the Free Bible Program and Bibles Behind Bars, this is what you’re helping to do.

APOCALYPTIC INFERNO: Out Of Control Fire Rages Across The Pacific Palisades In California As Week One Of The New Year Officially Comes To A Close
Fearsome winds forced crews to ground firefighting aircraft in the battle against the Palisades fire on Tuesday night, making it even more challenging for firefighters to get a handle on the fast-growing blaze.
As of yesterday, the new year of 2025 was officially one week old and yet has so far managed to pack about 3 months worth of news into that 7-day period. Donald Trump is still 12 days away from being sworn in, and the Palisades fire is an excellent type picture of what it feels like in this new year. It feels like everything all around us is literally on fire like the fire ravaging the Palisades right now.
“Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.” Isaiah 50:11 (KJB)
Another problem they are having in California right now is they are running out of water, and because of that, efforts are now focused more on evacuation than they are on putting the fire out. Amid the hellish backdrop of the apocalyptic inferno, evacuation notices were placed along the affluent coastal region, with a chilling warning which read: ‘Immediate threat to life.’ Pray for the people in California, pray for a quick end to these fires, pray for the Lord to use you in these end times. That’s the memo.
Palisades fire: Worst is ‘yet to come’ as winds gain speed, ground aircraft
FROM THE LOS ANGELES TIMES: The use of aircraft was halted shortly before 8 p.m., and Los Angeles fire officials said they would continually reassess weather conditions to determine when they might be used again, said Margaret Stewart with the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The Palisades fire in Los Angeles continues to rage and burn with no end in sight here on Day 2. pic.twitter.com/eWqrxxoEV4
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) January 8, 2025
The fire remained 0% contained at 11 p.m. Tuesday as “extreme fire behavior” continued to challenge firefighters, according to the L.A. County Fire Department. Wind gusts up to 60 mph were expected to continue through Thursday. The fire ignited at Piedra Morada Drive at 10:30 a.m. and had scorched 2,921 acres by early evening, forcing more than 30,000 residents to flee their homes. The extreme wind event blasting Southern California was forecast to peak between 10 p.m. Tuesday and 5 a.m. Wednesday, posing a serious challenge to overnight efforts to combat the growing blaze.
“This event is not only not over, but it is just getting started and will get significantly worse before it gets better,” UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain said in a briefing just after 4 p.m. Tuesday.
The strongest and most widespread winds are “yet to come,” Swain said, as is the lowest humidity. L.A. County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone had warned around 4 p.m. Tuesday that increasing winds could make an air attack unfeasible. Although it might be frustrating for residents to see firefighting aircraft grounded, extreme winds can make those efforts less effective, as water or retardant that is dropped is immediately dispersed by the wind, said Gov. Gavin Newsom, who visited the site of the Palisades fire Tuesday.

“We can be up there all day, making people feel good,” he said, “but we’re not doing any good.”
The combination of extreme winds and critically low humidity created a dangerous recipe for new fires to break out overnight.
“We are anticipating — hopefully we’re wrong — but we’re anticipating other fires happening,” Newsom said at 4 p.m, adding that the state had strategically positioned resources in areas of high fire risk.
By around 6:30 p.m., that prediction had come true as the Eaton fire broke out in the hills above Altadena near Eaton Canyon. It had burned about 1,000 acres by late Tuesday night, prompting evacuations in the area west of the Eaton Canyon Golf Course, according to the U.S. Forest Service and the California Department of Foresty and Fire Protection. The strong winds led officials to suspend air coverage of the Eaton fire for the evening, Derderian said at 8:45 p.m.
Around 10:10 p.m., a brush fire, dubbed the Hurst fire, ignited in Sylmar and quickly spread to 100 acres, according to the U.S. Forest Service. Meanwhile, the Palisades fire continued to charge forward, threatening thousands of homes and scores of businesses. READ MORE
