NTEB BIBLE RADIO: Rightly Dividing

President Trump said yesterday “And after so many years of unceasing war and endless danger, today the skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still, and the sun rises on a holy land that is finally at peace, a land and a region that will live, God willing, in peace for all eternity. This is not only the end of a war… This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East.” “Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.” Jeremiah 14:14 (KJB) On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, all over Jerusalem this weekend, massive billboards were erected with the same message, President Trump is the new King Cyrus and he has set the Jews free. That may make for good marketing, self-aggrandizing as it may be, but think about it for a minute. If Donald Trump is the new King Cyrus, then a rebuilt Temple cannot be far off. And if President Trump is the one who makes that Temple get built, and peace prevails between Israel and her neighbors, then by definition he would be the Antichrist. While you chew on that, look over at Europe where ‘Phase Zero’ of WWIII is already being declared, with Poland saying they are ready to go to war with Russia. Trump may be making peace in the Middle East, but Europe and Russia are about ready to go at it. Over in America, we are a nation beset with turmoil that swirls ever-higher on a daily basis. Trump building Muslim air bases on US soil? You bet’cha! All this and more on today’s Prophecy News Podcast.

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we begin our look at the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, and settle in to learn some hardcore, strong meat Bible doctrine. A study in Romans will show us the New Testament doctrines of salvation, redemption, sanctification, justification, predestination, adoption, regeneration, and glorification. Remember the Ethiopian eunuch from our study in the Book of Acts? He got saved with salvation by grace through faith by reading in the book of Isaiah. Another salient point to keep in mind that Paul is the apostle to the Romans, and not Peter as the Roman Catholic church falsely claims he is. There is no biblical record that Peter was ever in Rome. TONIGHT’S STUDY: Here in chapter 14, Paul shows us about personal responsibility in the life of the Christian, and the necessity for Christians to endeavor to live with each other. He says “Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.” Christians in 2025, most of whom are at each other’s throats, would do well to heed Paul’s words.

As born again Christians, we have the greatest thing in the world, the honor and the privilege of declaring to a lost and dying world the true identity of ‘the unknown God’ who created everyone and everything. It’s the only work that pays eternal dividends. “For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.” Acts 17:23 (KJB)

First of all, President Trump has seemingly accomplished something many thought near impossible, the bringing of peace, the end to the war between Israel and Hamas, and the release of the hostages which would be amazing if it happens. Netanyahu was so euphoric he posted a meme nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, with the peace deal coming a day before the announcement of the 2025 Nobel Prize Winners. But…upon closer inspection, this peace deal was made from a position of weakness, not of strength, and the real winner right now would seem to be Hamas. “For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.” Jeremiah 8:11 (KJB) On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, one of the things that strikes a sour note with me about the Trump Peace Plan is that Israel must release 41 Palestinian prisoners for every one of the Israeli hostages currently held by Hamas. Another thing that is a little unbelievable is that Hamas is even allowed to be a part of the negotiating of the terms of the peace process. In WWII, when it was clear that Germany could not win the war and Heinrich Himmler attempted to bargain favorable terms for the Nazis with the Allies, he was turned down flat. The only ‘offer’ America would accept was complete and total surrender. A war is not over until one side surrenders. That’s how you ‘negotiate’ peace, but that’s not what Trump has created. Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem complained this week that “The occupation (Israel) is attempting to manipulate the list of Palestinian prisoners that the resistance handed over for release.” That Hamas even has a voice is a crime, and yet, there they are, proud as a peacock and making demands. That kind of ‘peace deal’ doesn’t warrant any prizes, especially not the Nobel. On this episode, we bring you the truth behind the Trump Peace Plan, why it’s likely to collapse, and how it virtually guarantees another war. Also, we have a stunning update on Peter Thiel and his lecture series on the Antichrist that’ll show you why he’s not publishing his talks online.

Two years ago today, Hamas and the Palestinians launched the largest single-day attack against the Jews since Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany in WWII. How well I remember Lori and myself, armed with our keyboards and a microphone, reporting all the breaking news of that day to you for nearly 16 straight hours. That war is still going on, and 48 of the hostages are still in captivity as of this writing. In the midst of all this turmoil and confusion, the Lord told me to bring you all some clarity from the Bible as to the legitimate biblical reasons for supporting the Jews, Jerusalem and the nation of Israel. “The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.” Psalm 128:5,6 (KJB) On this episode of Rightly Dividing, antisemitism is at an all-time high, and even Christians are confused about supporting the Jews, Jerusalem and the nation of Israel. People like Tucker Carlson say absolutely not, that there is no mandate in the Bible for supporting the ‘secular’ nation of Israel. Is he right? Of course not! Tonight we open the pages of God’s preserved word, to see overwhelming proof for why we should support them even in the backslidden condition, and yes, especially in their backslidden condition. Join us as we confound the critics, negate the naysayers, and stand with the chosen people of God.
