SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The founder of the Hillsong megachurch, Brian Houston, has stepped down from the church’s board two months after being charged by Australia police with concealing his late father’s sex offenses.

As time goes by and more is uncovered, Hillsong Church is Australia seems to be rivaling the Roman Catholic Church when it comes to sexual assaulting their congregation, and then seeking to cover it up after it takes place. The scandal emanates from the very top with Hillsong founder Brian Houston who protected his pedophile father from the arm of the law, says the Australian police.

“And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.” Mark 9:42 (KJB)

But the Hillsong scandal goes much deeper than Brian Houston and his pedophile father, that’s the past. Hillsong in 2021 is riddled with sexual assault scandal everywhere you turn. Hillsong Church in New York City imploded last year as ‘pastor’ Carl Lentz resigned in disgrace after it was revealed that Hillsong NYC was ‘run like the Playboy mansion’. Hillsong Church is a stunning fulfillment of the end times Laodicean church from Revelation 3, and yes, Jesus will spue the whole thing from His mouth at the Judgment Seat of Christ.

Hillsong Church founder Brian Houston steps down from board over claims he covered up sexual abuse allegations against his dad late preacher Frank Houston

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: Houston has said that he will still be the church’s Global Senior Pastor in an internal email, People reported. In the email, Houston did not cite his upcoming court case in Australia, saying instead that he had resigned so the board could function ‘to their fullest capacity during this season.’

‘I also wanted to let you know that I’ve made a decision to step aside from my role on the Hillsong Church boards that oversee the governance of our operations. I did this so that these boards can function to their fullest capacity during this season. This doesn’t change my role as Global Senior Pastor. I thought it was important to let our church family know in the interests of transparency, and I wanted you to hear it from me directly,’ the email obtained by People said.

He is set to appear in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court on October 5, exactly two months after he was charged by New South Wales Police Force with concealing a serious indictable offense.

‘Police will allege in court the man knew information relating to the sexual abuse of a young male in the 1970s and failed to bring that information to the attention of police,’ a statement NSW police said.

The charges can carry a maximum penalty of up to five years’ imprisonment, depending upon the exact crime concealed. Houston’s father, Frank Houston, was accused of sexually abusing a seven-year-old boy from Sydney’s east during trips from his native New Zealand three decades’ prior, in 1969 and 1970.

NSW Police began investigating Brian Houston after a 2014 royal commission into child sexual abuse delved into how Hillsong’s forerunners – the Hills and Sydney Christian Life Centres – handled 1999 abuse allegations raised against Frank Houston. Brian Houston, then the president of the evangelical organization the Assemblies of God in Australia, allegedly confronted his father, who confessed, the royal commission’s final report said.  The inquiry said that instead of reporting the abuse to police, Houston allowed his father to go into retirement and gave money to the alleged victim.

The victim told the commission he met Frank Houston at a McDonald’s restaurant in Thornleigh in 2000 and was offered a dirty napkin to sign in exchange for $10,000.  The victim said he felt ‘shame, fear and embarrassment’ for many years and suffered post-traumatic stress disorder. Frank Houston died in 2004, age 82, after confessing to a ‘continuing problem’ of a sexual interest in young boys. READ MORE

Hillsong Hell: Disturbing accusations expose the celebrity church

It’s turbulent times for the celebrity church Hillsong. It’s been revealed high-profile leader Brian Houston, who founded the hugely successful organization, has now stepped down from the its multiple boards. He faces court next month accused of concealing child sexual abuse, a charge he denies. Now though, we reveal more damaging accusations about the church – two brave women who say they were violated by other Hillsong members. But what makes these attacks even more disturbing is the megachurch’s response — an indifference to their suffering so heartless it would surely make Jesus weep.

Even all the way to South Africa. We even restarted our weekly radio Bible study on Sunday nights again, thanks to your generous donations. All this is possible because YOU pray for us, YOU support us, and YOU give so we can continue growing.

But whatever you do, don’t do nothing. Time is short and we need your help right now. If every one of the 15,860+ people on our daily mailing list gave $4.50, we would reach our goal immediately.

But sadly, many will not give, so we need the ones who can and who will give to be generous. As generous as possible.

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: China Disrupts The Global AI Community With The Release Of Its ‘DeepSeek’ Artificial Intelligence Chatbot

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

China disrupts the global AI community with the release of its ‘DeepSeek’ chatbot making a similar product for a fraction of the price, despite not having world-class chips to do it with.

Global chip stocks slumped Monday after Chinese artificial-intelligence company DeepSeek said it had developed AI models that nearly matched American rivals despite using inferior chips, raising fears the global dominance of U.S. tech could be under threat. DeepSeek’s success comes despite export curbs that Washington has leveraged in an effort to limit the sale of advanced AI chips that Beijing could use to advance its military capabilities. There’s a new player in the global AI market, and DeepSeek is not looking to take any prisoners. Game on.

“For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.” Daniel 11:30 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, AI chatbots continue to be the most fought over segment of the technology market, with artificial intelligence worming its way into every aspects of our daily lives. For instance, I wrote this article you are now reading using my own mind and thoughts, but the software I wrote it with has a button I could have hit to have AI write it for me. The graphic that sits atop of this article was created in Photoshop that now has artificial intelligence all through it. Every mobile phone with a software upgrade done in the last 6 months is now powered by AI whether you are aware of it or not. AI is a seductively powerful tool whose ultimate end is to remove the human component from, well, everything. Remember what happened in the 1999 thriller ‘The Matrix’? Humans fought with the computers they created, and the humans lost. This is why Ecclesiastes 1:9 in our theme verse for 2025, and this is where we are on the end times timeline. On this episode, we bring you the very latest news in AI, and run it through the filter of your 66 caliber King James Bible, fully loaded. Pun intended.

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.

BETHANY CONFERENCE ON DISPENSATIONALISM: Dr. Bill Grady Closes Out Our Conference With A Look At What Comes Between The Thousand Years And Eternity

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Is there an 8th dispensation hidden in between the end of the thousand years but before the start of eternity? Evangelist and Bible teacher Dr. Bill Grady sure thinks so.

This morning, Dr. Bill Grady took the pulpit at Bethany Baptist Church to talk about a little known and long forgotten dispensational teaching that was all the rage in the 19th century, and sadly seemingly discarded here in the 21st. Is there one more dispensation that exists after the thousand years are done but before eternity begins? It sure looks that way, welcome to the 8th dispensation. The Bible talks about milk, meat and strong meat, this teaching you are about to hear is very strong meat.

“He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.” Psalm 105:8 (KJB)

I have known Bill Grady for the better part of the past 30 years, and in 2020 when we opened our Bookstore, we stocked it full of every title he has written. To purchase his books, click here to visit our website. Dr. Bill got saved and grew up in the golden age of Bible preachers like Peter Ruckman, Lester Roloff, Maze Jackson and countless others, and was baptized in the same church where Clarence Larkin was baptized. His pedigree for rightly dividing and dispensational truth is on point, and you will get a blessing from what he gave us this morning.

BETHANY CONFERENCE ON DISPENSATIONALISM: Bible Teacher Bro. Steve Brown Brings Dispensational Wisdom From The Genesis Genealogy

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Bro. Steve Brown laid out the biblical framework upon which dispensationalism sits, and it has nothing to do with John Nelson Darby, CI Scofield or anyone outside of your King James Bible

Tonight was the second night of our Bethany Conference on Dispensationalism, and we were bless to have Bro. Steve Brown in the pulpit who laid out the foundational framework on which our understanding of dispensations rest. Bro. Steve made an air-tight case for the Bible being written in a dispensational manner, thus creating its own definition for what a dispensation actually is.

“Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:” Ephesians 1:9,10 (KJB)

As he pointed out tonight, the internet is full of so-called Bible teachers who have little to no understanding of what dispensations are, and in their ignorance, wish to steal from you the God-ordained dispensational structure your King James Bible is built upon. Don’t let them! It is up to each and every Christian to search the scriptures for themselves to see if these things are so.
