European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen just launched ‘ReArm Europe’, the largest military investment program in European Union history

We have been telling you for quite some time now that World War Three is coming before the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church, and like the two previous wars, it will be centered in Europe. Yesterday, EU Commission president Ursula Von Der Leyen announced ‘ReArm Europe’, the largest military ramp-up in EU history since the group was formed back in 1993. This is the goal of Russian president Vladimir Putin, and why he keeps the war with Ukraine on a permanent simmer. It is the bait to draw in the rest of the world to complete the trilogy.

“For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.” Luke 21:22 (KJB)

I am no fan of Putin, but give the Devil his due, he is playing the world like a fiddle, and that includes President Trump and his administration here in America. That big blowup last week in the White House where Trump and Vance ganged up on little Zelensky was right out of Putin’s playbook, and it moved the needle toward WWIII another giant step closer. French President Emmanuel Macron has long talked about and dreamt about a full-fledged European Army, and he will soon get his wish. That’s the memo.

ReArm Europe: EU Commission Chief Proposes €800 Billion Defense Scheme

FROM THE EUROPEAN CONSERVATIVE: Following the Tuesday, March 4th presentation, her five-point plan, dubbed “ReArm Europe,” is meant to allow EU member states to “massively” boost their defense spending both in the immediate future and over the next decade. In total, von der Leyen is hoping to mobilize “close to €800 billion” for defense investment through ReArm Europe from multiple sources: joint loans, national budget increases, and private capital investment. However, every proposal comes down to one thing: debt, both at the EU and national level. The Commission chief has stated this is necessary in the current “era of rearmament.”

“I do not need to describe the grave nature of the threats we face or the devastating consequences that we will have to endure if those threats will come to pass. We are in an era of rearmament”

Von der Leyen added that the question is no longer whether Europe needs to shoulder more responsibility for its own defense, but whether it is prepared to “act as decisively as the situation dictates.”

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) March 4, 2025

The Commission’s five-point ‘ReArm Europe’ strategy was sent to all member states ahead of Thursday’s emergency European Council summit, where leaders are expected to adopt a joint position agreeing to at least the broad outlines of the plan.

The five points include:

• Activating the ‘national escape clause’ to allow member states to run 1.5% higher budget deficits than what’s permitted by EU rules to drastically boost their defense spending.
• A €150 billion worth of joint loan for “pan-European” military procurement, under which member states can pool demand and buy weapons together cheaper. This includes air and missile defense systems; artillery, missiles, and ammunition; drones and counter-drone systems; as well as cyber- and mobility equipment such as armored vehicles. This could also be used by member states to buy military equipment for Ukraine (there might even be an additional clause that 20% of every procurement should be invested in Ukraine).
• Allowing for more “flexible” use of existing EU funding for defense purposes, including diverting a portion of cohesion funds and remaining pandemic relief funds.
• Accelerating the implementation of the Savings and Investment Union (SIU) to attract private capital investment by increasing returns on savings from Europeans’ household wealth.
• Securing more private capital through the European Investment Bank (EIB).

According to the European Council President António Costa, there is a “broad agreement” among all member states that a massive boost to the EU’s defense spending is the way to go forward, and the only thing that needs to be discussed on Thursday are the details of the Commission’s plan.

The idea of joint debt has always been a very contentious issue among member states, and particularly opposed by north-western countries, such as Germany, the Netherlands, and the Scandinavians, who don’t like the idea of subsidizing others with more ‘reckless’ fiscal policies. These countries agreed to the pandemic relief funds being raised through a joint loan in late 2020 after being reassured that it was a “one-time thing” only, a point they referred to frequently over the past two years when the EU began floating a €100 billion loan idea for defense.

Yet, now it seems that even the most frugal countries are on board with taking out a much bigger joint loan for defense. Nothing illustrates the change of heart better than the fact that Germany—the country historically most opposed to becoming a ‘debt union’ while insisting on its rigid national rules—is now moving to circumvent its ‘debt brake’ to raise a proposed €900 billion defense cash pot alone under incoming Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

The initial draft resolution for Thursday’s emergency summit also included an immediate €20 billion military aid package to Ukraine from the EU budget, but this instrument was reportedly put on hold and scrapped from a newer version due to fears of Hungarian and Slovak vetoes. READ MORE

Bibles Behind Bars and the NTEB Free Bible Program continuing to expand and grow here in 2025 as we seek to be faithful to the work God has called us to do

Just a short while ago, we processed orders for Kings James Bibles to the Atascadero Maximum Security State Hospital in California, the Baker Re-Entry facility here in Florida, the Eliza Shirley House in Philly, and the Richland Parish Detention Center in Rayville, Louisiana. Along with those Bibles, all of those facilities will be receiving the new Bibles Behind Bars ‘Book Box’ that contains a dozen copies each of “What Must I Do To Be Saved?”, “Justified Outlaw”, and “The CPR Biblical Guide To Soul Winning”.

“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17 (KJB)

In 2025, we are excited about not only increasing the amount of Bibles we are sending out, but now including really good and edifying Christian soul winning and Bible teaching literature as well. In 1894, DL Moody established his Colportage Library where he provided similar books to people at a much-discounted price. We are taking that good idea, and bringing it one step further by making it completely for free for those in need like inmates in prison and individuals who need Bibles but cannot afford them. Thanks to you, the NTEB Free Bible Program and Bibles Behind Bars continue to expand and grow at a wonderful level. Praise the LORD! We are still raising funds to send out about 1,000 Bibles to CF Hazelwood and Chaplain Dooley in the Texas correctional system, and could really use your help.

European leaders are confronting their worst-case scenario: maybe they really are going to be dealing with a bellicose Russia alone, and Putin is loving every minute of it

When the United States lined up alongside Russia and North Korea earlier this week to oppose a UN motion condemning Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, some European officials knew that the transatlantic relationship was in deep trouble. Then they watched in horror as Donald Trump gave Volodymyr Zelenskiy a public dressing down in the Oval Office and something broke. French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen have all described this moment as a generational challenge for the continent.

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:6 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, all the elements for a global conflict are now nearly in place as Europe begins to wrap their heads around the idea of a third world war in the exact spot where the other two began. The EU is abuzz this morning trying to figure out how to “solve Russia” without the help of Donald Trump and the United States. For his part, Vladimir Putin is sitting back in the Kremlin today, sipping espresso and laughing his butt off at how his perfectly designed long-range plan to kickstart WWIII is going to wonderfully well. On this Podcast, we bring you the latest news from world leaders but one thing is for sure, WWIII is racing towards us at lightning speed.

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.
