Construction began on a building that would be called the Frances Jacobs
Hospital in Denver, Colorado. Frances Jacobs, known as Colorado’s “Mother
of Charity,” devoted her life to community service. She is the only woman
included among the sixteen Colorado pioneers depicted through stained glass
portraits in the state’s Capital Rotunda. Born in Kentucky and raised in
Cincinnati, Jacobs moved with her husband to Colorado in 1863; they settled in
Denver in 1870. Jacobs quickly became involved in Denver’s Jewish and
non-Jewish communities. Jewish issues were especially important to Jacobs. Soon
after moving to Colorado with her husband in 1874, she became president of the
Hebrew Benevolent Ladies Society (today known as Jewish Family Service of
Colorado). By 1872, she was president of the Hebrew Ladies’ Benevolent Society
and in 1874 helped found the nonsectarian Denver Ladies’ Relief Society. She
pushed for the creation of Denver’s first kindergarten and helped organize
Denver’s Charity Organization Society, a forerunner to the United Way, in 1877.
Jacobs also pushed the Denver Jewish community to attend to the care of the
many Jewish tuberculosis sufferers who came to Denver. At that time, the only
known treatment for tuberculosis was clean air and sunshine; since Denver had
both of these resources in abundance; it became a popular destination for
infected immigrants from the industrial Northeast. When these immigrants
arrived in Denver, they found no facilities available to treat or even shelter
them, and the community ignored their plight. Jacobs did her best to help those
who were ill on an individual basis, but worked to convince the Jewish
community to help, leading to the construction of the hospital, whose motto
became “None may enter who can pay, and none can pay who enter”.
Jacobs died, at the age of 49, weeks after the hospital’s cornerstone had been
laid. The hospital’s trustees voted to name the hospital after her. Today the
institution is known as the National Jewish Medical and Research Center, and is
the only medical and research center in the United States devoted entirely to
respiratory, allergic, and immune system diseases. Jacobs died, at the age of
49, weeks after the hospital’s cornerstone had been laid. The hospital’s

group of journalist leading them to believe that Israeli forces are in such
precarious shape that they will have to surrender most of the Sinai to the
advancing Egyptians and make a stand in the eastern edge of the peninsula.
Prime Minister Golda Meir is so alarmed by Dayan’s emotional about-face that

Israeli forces from the east bank of the Suez Canal. While Syrian artillery was
able to shell villages in the Jezreel Valley, Israeli planes had attacked
installations in around Damascus. Inadvertently, one of the attacks had hit the

asking for approval of [is] bombings inside the city.” Prime Minister Meir
asked whether he meant within the city itself, and Dayan confirmed this. He
said the IDF can’t muster a column to march on Damascus even as a decoy, but
bombing in and around the city could “break the Syrians” – though he
conceded, “You can’t say the population wouldn’t be hurt.”Why would
it necessarily break them?” Meir asked. “Would a bombing here break
us?” General Elazar replied: “A heavy bombing here, on Reading and Ramat
Aviv, would seriously disrupt things.”

against overwhelming numbers of Syrian T-62s, Ben Hanan restored the tactical
situation but at the cost of most of his command and his own Centurion tank.

lines by Yonatan Netanyahu, a legendary member of the IDF’s elite Sayeret

1988: Active polio viruses have been discovered in sewage and a water
purification plant in four more Israeli cities, bringing the total number of
infected areas to nine, Israel Radio said today. Officials at the Tourism
Ministry said they had not been consulted before the decision was made. They
expressed concern that the move to inoculate most of the population would
frighten tourists planning to visit Israel. Dr. Walter A. Orenstein, director
of the immunization division at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta and
a member of a team of experts here to advise the Israelis, said, ”We’re seeing
a number of cases in people who had oral polio vaccine in the past.” That is
the same form of vaccination most North Americans were given as children. Ten Israelis
have been diagnosed with polio since an outbreak of the disease began early
last month. Officials originally said they believed the outbreak was confined
to north-western Israel, around the town of Or Akiva, where the first two cases
were discovered. Open sewage in Or Akiva was thought to be the source of the
disease, and the town’s entire population of 5,000 was inoculated. But then
other people in Hadera, Acre, Ramle and Lod, near Tel Aviv, became infected
with the virus. Israel Radio reported this morning that water and sewage tests
have revealed active polio viruses in the Haifa water purification plant and in
the sewage systems of Yahud, Petah Tikva and Tiberias. On Thursday, in response
to advice from the team of foreign health experts, the Health Ministry
announced that all residents up to the age of 40 would be vaccinated. Israeli
officials had been reluctant to order mass inoculations because it is believed
that 90 percent of the population has natural or acquired immunity to polio.
But the foreign experts recommended the move because Israelis in that age group
were inoculated with a less potent oral vaccine. Palestinians in the occupied
territories, where no cases of polio have been reported, were traditionally
given the more powerful injected vaccine because of their poorer living
conditions. As a result, Mr. Orenstein told Israel Radio today that there is
”suggestive evidence that there may be some susceptibility problems in some of
the young teen-agers and adults” throughout Israel. He said that though the
cases were still small in number, the ”proportion is much greater in adults.”
When asked if North American immigrants living in Israel should also receive a
polio booster, Mr. Orenstein said, ”If it were me, I’d participate with the rest
of the population. We think the risk is low, but we don’t think the risk is
zero.”

hostages, many of them civilians being held by Hamas. (Editor’s note: this

snapshot as of the posting at midnight Israeli time)

As Israel prepares to invade Gaza, the nations of the world are choosing sides in what may be the largest conflict we’ve ever seen in our lifetime
Right now, multiple events are triggering across the Middle East that will have profound implications around the world and especially here in at home in America. Israel has announced a ‘complete siege’ of Gaza and has readied an invasion that includes a massive amount of ground troops. In New York City yesterday, thousands of pro-Hamas demonstrators marched in support of the Palestinians, and called for jihad to take place all throughout the 5 boroughs.
“But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:” Amos 1:7 (KJB)
On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, if the events of this past weekend were not enough to trigger your end times meter, what is coming this week most certainly will. By now, you know that the attack on Israel by Hamas was orchestrated and financed by Iran. So if Israel is going to exact vengeance on Hamas in Gaza, it stands to reason that they must needs do the same with Iran. We posted on our X channel yesterday how pro-Hamas rallies were held in dozens of cities around the world yesterday, a chilling harbinger of what’s to come. Today we will show you just how close to WWIII we actually are, and why what’s happening in the Middle East could set the entire world on fire.

Your Generous Donations Make These Live King James Radio Bible Studies Possible!
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
“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.

God Bless You , also your Ministry and your family. IN JESUS MIGHT NAME.” T. Muto
“Jesus. I am now 64 years old and never in all the years I’ve been a Christian was I able to grow in the Lord as much as I have in the last past year. All because of our blessed brother’s work Geoffrey Grider who as the bravery of standing fast forward without fear of claiming the truth of God by the power of his love in Jesus Christ. May God bless you abundantly to the end my dear brother… ROMANS: 8: 36,37,38” Mireille Anderson
“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 am convinced that God sent you to share the Good News that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. For that, and for the work you are doing for the Kingdom of God, I say…Thank you and God Bless You.” Sonia Merced
“I really enjoy the emails and Bible studies! I haven’t found a church and enjoy your services very much! Be blessed brother!” Marcia Mann
“You and your organization are on the front lines in the Battle For Truth…. current events, end times, and trying to awaken a sleeping laodicean Church. Thank you brother for fighting for us and all your teaching and insight God bless…” Daniel Cartrette
I just want to thank you for the teachings you give every Sunday night on radio. You are such a blessing to me. I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures. I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to. I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too. You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture. Thank you so much Geoffrey, from the bottom of my heart. May the Lord keep you, until He comes back for us. You are in my prayers.” Donald Godin
“Thank you for the work you are doing brother. Your page and your testimony were a blessing to me this morning as I came across it for the first time. Thank you for the reality of your testimony and what God has done for you in introducing you to Jesus our Lord. God has brought me, in salvation, to Himself as well, through His love and mercy and grace in salvation. How can we praise Him enough? How can we not share this good news!? I pray this day for God’s blessing on your ministry that He may save many souls through the work He has called you to. Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)” Mark and Melissa
“Love the Sunday night bible study. I want to support someone who has the passion for the lost like Geoffrey does and rightly divides the word of God. God bless you.” Teresa Carey
“I give because not many news outlets are brave enough or Godly enough to tell these stories from a Christian’s point of view. I see stories here that will not be seen anywhere else.” William Grayshaw
“It’s hard to find solid biblical teaching in America these days. It’s a blessing to be able to take part in a ministry financially without being concerned about false teaching. All glory to God! God bless!” Maximilian Swan
“I donate because you are reporting the truth about the increasing wickedness of our time, as God’s word foretold. In so doing we are reminded to “Keep looking up” as we wait in joyful hope for the Lord’s coming, Maranatha! ” Anthony Sloane
“Geoffrey has the best End Times News out there. I have been receiving his emails for years now and always enjoy his Sunday night messages although I don’t always think exactly as he thinks. We are all in this “boat of life” together and as I come to the end of my life’s journey here, I am more aware of Jesus’s call for us to be one as He and the Father are One.” Deborah Cleaveland

Will they solve it with a bigger hammer? Will they call on America’s hammer to save them? Will they call on God to save them?
Anonymous
Philip Williams they will solve it with a BIGGER hammer..and if the USA somehow decides not to help Isreal and turn against her, the hammer will fall on the USA.

Fred Leon Stewart the only thing that can help is prayer for mercy. My friend Dr. Michael Brown who is more familiar with what has been happening there recommends this. The same is needed for the US.

While all will not say ‘Amen’ to that, it’s worthwhile to point out that Christianity has a foundation which cannot be destroyed…ever. Islam, on the other hand, depends on places and buildings for its continued existence.
From his book Winning the War Against Radical Islam “The terrorists and terrorist nations such as Saudi Arabia only fear one thing: the destruction of the religion of Islam. There is nothing in this life that has greater value to them than Islam. They are willing to sacrifice and even die to promote Islam. This religious motivation is the engine that drives the Jihad against us.
The path to Paradise, according to the Five Pillars of Islam, involves the city of Mecca and its stone temple called the Kabah. Muslims pray toward Mecca five times a day. What if Mecca didn’t exist anymore?
They must make a pilgrimage to Mecca and engage in an elaborate set of rituals centered around the Kabah once they arrive. What if Mecca and the Kabah were only blackened holes in the ground?
What if Medina, the burial place of Muhammad was wiped off the face of the planet?
What if the Dome Mosque on the Temple site in Jerusalem was blown up? The greatest weakness of Islam is that it is hopelessly tied to sacred cities and buildings. If these cities and buildings were destroyed, Islam would die within a generation as it would be apparent to all that its god could not protect the three holiest sites in Islam

SO does @everyone here believe
HAMAS dug tunnels under the Israeli border with high tech detectors
flew rockets and drones over their impenetrable IRON DOME
and dropped parachute troopers over a huge music fest without any of the hundreds armed Jews did not fire a single shot?

This is how they’re coming after us. How easy we’ve made it for them to get over here with our borders wide open. There’s a reason young men are coming here without their families. They are coming for war. If they were coming to live here, they would be bringing their families with them. Right now they are in the deserts of Arizona. They can’t wait to get their hands on our women.

Why does Israel matter? by Terry Wiles
Did you know that the time clock of the return of Jesus Christ isn’t based on America’s timeline? It’s based on what is happening in Israel.
Did you know Jesus wasn’t a “Christian” ? He was a Jew. He celebrated and kept the Jewish holy days and customs, as well as the feasts of the LORD. He didn’t come to eradicate the Torah and writing of the Prophets / Old Testament. He came to fulfill the prophecies that were written in them.
When Jesus returns, He isn’t returning to the United States. The Bible says He is going to plant His foot down on the Mount of Olives and go through the Eastern Gate, which is currently sealed off with 16 feet of concrete.
A cemetery was also placed in front of that gate because touching the dead makes a Jew considered unclean and unable to enter the Temple, which is considered Holy. And now, a small Mosque has been built inside the gate itself blocking the entry onto the steps.
But, the Word of GOD says He will return there and from there He will rule and reign for 1,000 years.
The final battle isn’t going to be on U.S. soil. It’s going to be in the Valley of Megiddo, in Israel. The Bible says as the nations wage war against Israel Jesus will come and destroy His enemies with the breath of His mouth. 2 Thess 2:8
GOD did not replace the Jews with Christians as some believe. We are actually grafted in with them as you would graft a wild branch into an existing tree.
The Word of GOD says, “When you touch Israel, you touch the Apple of GOD’s eye.” Zechariah 2:8
“He that keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. The LORD is thy keeper.” Psalm 121:4
We are told to “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee.” Psalms 122. KJV
God says, “I will bless those that bless you and I will curse those that curse you.” Genesis 12:3

Ezekiel 38-39 isn’t happening but ultimately could or will be a war that will begin the final tribulation.
Some scholarship says Psalm 83 war is different then this battle.
David Raegan Lamb and Lion ministries holds a view with others like this.6 battles in scripture possibly.

Well hamas has threatened us. Today is the day of rage. They have a camp in Talahina. I’d keep my kids home today if it were me. Why because our great leaders has said there are no credible threats…well I’m sure they said the same thing about Israel 7 days ago.

Admin what position do you think the Holy Spirit will take in the situation
Whatever position He takes that I take .also .
I have said in this forum dont have ANY religion nor ANY denomination nor do i intend to join one..
I love truth not religious sentiment
Sorry..
Our struggle is not against flesh and blood has been a verse off used here to stifle arguments on war and warfare against fellow humans..
Surely Jesus wouldnt have done what Hamas did to Israel nor would He condone what Israel is doing to the Palestinians..
If Jesus took sides in this situation His message of love thy enemies as thyself would be null and void.
Israel is at war!Well Africa has also been at war too ,many times (and it is still going in most parts),so is America and Ukraine and Russia .Nothing new regarding wars and Biblically we were warned there would be wars..
Nothing surprising.. Nothing new..
But if it were news about Jesus second coming only then would I have been apprehensive and I would really feel sorry for both parties fighting this war..both need JESUS.
No sophisticated weapon nor the mightest military muscle nor security councils can resolve this conflict but JESUS CAN..
I believe that ..let them give Him a chance
