The Minor Prophets, also known as ‘The Twelve’, deliver a mighty end times punch in bringing you the info on how the time of Jacob’s trouble and the great Tribulation will play out

The Old Testament stands on 3 major pillars – the Law, the Writings, and the Prophets, something that is definitely defined by Jesus Himself in the New Testament. Genesis to Deuteronomy gives us the Law of Moses, the writings which is primarily Psalms and Proverbs, and the Prophets which start with Isaiah, the biggest one of them all, and ends with Malachi. The ‘big three’ or Major Prophets are Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel, and ‘the Twelve’, or the 12 Minor Prophets, start with Hosea and ends with Malachi. They are called ‘minor prophets’ because of the shortness of their books, but make no mistake, when it comes to the end times, they pack a major wallop!

“And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.” Luke 24:44 (KJB)

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we start with the prophet Hosea, and work our way down the line, in order, to read the writings of a fascinating group of men known as ‘The Twelve’. One main thing they all have in common is that they all prophesy concerning the end times of Jacob’s trouble, with a focus on the events of the great Tribulation. Jesus says in Hebrews “Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.”, and this is the sum and substance that make up the writings of these amazing Minor Prophets.

ON THIS EPISODE: We started this series back in the end of 2024, taking an intensive look at the 12 minor prophets from Hosea to Malachi. It’s been a blessing, and tonight we come to the 12th and final minor prophet, the prophet Malachi. Malachi has a powerful and potent message, he prophesies of the coming of Jesus Christ at the First Advent! Not only that, Malachi offers stinging rebukes to the Jews and Israel for not doing what the LORD set them apart to do. And in that, we see the reason for the time of Jacob’s trouble and the great Tribulation that is still yet to come.

• 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 have been reading on NTEB for about 5 years and listening as I can to your services.  If I could list the encouragement, the doctrines, the awareness of what is coming (our blessed hope) but also the last days culture in which I live that you have taught me, this email wouldn’t fit in this letter. Because of you, I am a stronger more equipped soldier for Jesus Christ. Thank you sir for you, your ministry in my life. Faithful to the end because He lives in me.” Ruthie Dennis
• “My name is Carl N from Mumbai, India. My wife Andrea and I have been ardent listeners of your Bible Study and news update podcasts from the very start of the lockdown last year. In fact we make it a point to share these links with our family and friends… many times getting into trouble, as the truth upsets people. We cannot even begin to tell you how this has changed our lives and walk with the Lord. Thank you so much for what you’ve been doing for the Kingdom!! We’ve even switched Bible translations to the KJV. For the last month or so, you’ve been speaking about making end times Bible study materials available. This got us really excited, as we’re eager to use these for our weekly house church group.” Carl N – Mumbai, India
• “I listen to your podcasts often. Very enlightening and I’ve learned a lot. I’m Catholic and followed the Holy Bible throughout my life however, since listening to your podcasts, I’ve learned much more. I recently sent NTEB a small donation. I’d like to do so again in the future. I’ve also signed up for NTEB chatroom. Anyways, I have a downloaded version of KJB on my computer and I follow your Bible Study with my pdf version KJB. You have offered to send out printed version of KJB if requested. If not too much trouble, when you or your staff get the opportunity please send me a copy.” Kevin W – Frankfurt, Germany
• Just wanted to let you know that your ministry is producing fruit. After listening to the studies and church on NTEB, I was motivated to write witness letters along with NTEB gospel tracks to friends from my hometown who I know are not saved. I sent two of the letters to former Catholic priests of mine….I attached the response from him urging me to read the book “Prove It!.” My wife and I have been placing your gospel tracks in different places we visit. This coming Sunday, I am hosting my first Bible study in my house with some people in our neighborhood. Tomorrow evening I have been given a chance to teach the lesson to our youth church group (our church is very Laodicean), and I am going to talk to the youth on end times. Thank you so much for your ministry and encouraging us to get something done for Jesus while we still can! Thomas B 
• “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 – Netherlands
• “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 met you at the car dealership earlier this year. We spoke briefly, then you handed me a card and told me to check out the website. You left. A few minutes later, you returned to tell me not to forget to look up the website. I told you…” I already did. I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love.

• “I’m a KJB believer. We’re so close to being “caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord. I have many lost family who don’t want the truth, including my husband & son. 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. God bless your ministry, Geoffrey! (I continue to pass out your tracts & you’re on my prayer list!)” LouAnn Benham

Whether it’s a truckload of Bibles or just one targeted delivery, Bibles Behind Bars stands in the gap and ready to give every inmate who needs one a King James Bible

It’s been a long, cold winter so far, and if you live up in the northwest in places like Oregon, you have had more than your fair share of snow. In Malheur Country, Oregon, in a place called the Snake River Correctional Institution, a young man by the name of Daniel is serving 9 years behind bars for his crimes, whatever they may be. His mother, Marsha, very much wants Daniel to have a Ruckman Reference Bible, and she turned to Bibles Behind Bars to make it happen. We sent him the Bible she requested and a copy of ‘Justified Outlaw’, please keep both of them in your prayers. Marsha says “Thank you for your ministry to the prisons. It’s badly needed in Oregon.”

“For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.” Psalm 139:13 (KJB)

The mission of Bibles Behind Bars is not so much how many thousands of Bibles and books can we send out, as it is about the people behind the bars who are waiting to receive them. Don’t think of them so much as criminals or inmates, think of them as someone’s son or daughter, as your son or daughter, and how their parent’s hearts must be breaking for them. This week we are attempting to fill the requests for the Farmington Correctional Center A Side in Missouri, Baker Re-Entry and Work Camp in Florida, Richland Parish Detention Center in Louisiana, CH Hazlewood in the Texas Prison System, and the Atascadero Maximum Security State Mental Hospital in California. With your help, we will.

Iran’s defense systems are on high alert, particularly around the country’s nuclear sites, due to fears of a joint Israel-US strike, according to a report from The Telegraph on Tuesday morning.

We have done this story so many times, I am reluctant to broach it again, but I will because at some point it has to happen. If the events of October 7th taught us anything, taught Israel anything, it is that Iran’s nuclear program must be wiped out. Iran is run by bad people who do bad things and who have no desire to play nice with the rest of the group. Iran has only one objective, and that is to destroy Israel and annihilate the Jewish people. Hamas has been a tough war, Hezbollah was a tough war, but they are symptoms. Iran is the source. That’s the memo.

“The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.” Daniel 8:20 (KJB)

Israel doesn’t need more war, but they need this war if they’re ever to slow down Iranian aggression and cut off the supply lines to the proxy terror groups that surround them. Donald Trump needs this war, too, if only to show to the world that America and Israel are inseparable. Trump came into great fanfare and high expectations, but actually getting done what you put in your Executive Orders can be challenging to do. Yesterday, hackers within the White House created an AI video of Trump kissing the feet of “the real president” Elon Musk, and posted it to hallway monitors around the Capitol. That’s a bad sign, and Trump needs a legitimate show of strength right now. Taking out Iran’s nuclear reactors are just the thing.

Iran rushes to upgrade air defenses, fearing joint Israel-US attack – report

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Defense systems have been bolstered surrounding key nuclear and missile sites with the addition of extra air defense system launchers, two Iranian high-level government sources told the publication. According to the report, Iranian officials started to take additional action after both the Biden and Trump administrations noted Israel’s likely plan to target key Iranian nuclear sites in 2025.

BREAKING NEWS: The Swamp and the Deep State are not going to go away quietly. This was the scene in Washington DC yesterday as monitors were hacked by the resistance. In fact, there’s a good chance they’re not going to go away at all. Long live the real king? Hmm. pic.twitter.com/VOdtIsiUKU

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) February 25, 2025

“The Iranian authorities are just waiting for the attack and are anticipating it every night, and everything has been on high alert – even in sites that no one knows about,” one source told The Telegraph. “Work to fortify nuclear sites has been ongoing for years, but it has intensified over the past year, particularly since Israel launched the first attack,” he added.

Threats from the Trump administration have only since intensified their preparations.

Iran has been waging a covert war against Israel through multiple proxies over the years, escalating their efforts on October 7 as Hamas launched a brutal attack that killed 1,200+ people and took more than 250 people hostage. Through Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, and even additional launches from Syria, Iran has used outside forces to do the nation’s “dirty work.”

In April 2024, Iran attempted to launch drones into Israeli territory. Their failed attempt led to a second, exponentially larger attack on  Israel in October 2024, in response to Israel entering Lebanon. In response, Israel has carried out a number of strikes on key facilities Iran uses to continue terror activities against Israel. Iran is fearful that Trump’s support for Israel striking these nuclear facilities, having expressed that he wants Iran to back down and end their nuclear program, will lead Iran vulnerable in its defense systems, which were diminished heavily last year.

An Iranian official told the Telegraph that  “Several additional air defence system launchers have been deployed, but there is an understanding that they may not be effective in the event of a large-scale strike.”

Iran has domestically developed their air defenses but also has employed Russian S-300s to protect its nuclear sites. Still, the country is not sure that the Russian S-300s they have will be sufficient against Israel’s weaponry. This led to additional pressure from Iran to expedite a delivery of S-400 systems.

The Islamic regime has domestically developed an air defense system and has Russian S-300s to protect its nuclear sites. However, these are not thought to be robust enough to protect against Israel’s cutting-edge weapons, prompting Iran to pressure Russia into expediting the delivery of S-400 missile systems. Earlier this week, IRGC’s General Amir Ali Hajizadeh announced the development of further ballistic missile defenses to prepare for an Israeli attack. They plan to equip Tehran and other major cities with the system.

Trump has adopted a “maximum pressure” approach on Iran, with US national security advisor Michael Waltz saying that “all options are on the table” in reference to US action on Iran.  “They [Iran] are an irrational actor that we cannot allow to have their finger on the button,” he added. READ MORE

Iran Braces for Possible Attack from Israel and United States

Iran has heightened its defenses around nuclear sites, placing them on high alert due to fears of a potential joint military strike by Israel and the United States. Tehran has deployed additional air defense launchers to bolster its strategic sites, reflecting intensified efforts to safeguard its nuclear program. This move follows warnings from U.S. intelligence that Israel may target Iranian nuclear facilities this year, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing to “finish the job” with U.S. support.
