Did you know that our trusty King James Bible tells us 331 times in 144 verse to 'fear not', and tells us "be not afraid" 205 times in 54 verses?
As you read this, the world at large is cowering in fear of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, as it continues to make and appearance in country after country. France has
closed the Louvre, Delta airlines has
canceled all flights to and from Milan, Italy, and Pope Francis is
very sick with something that the Vatican refuses to say is not the coronavirus. Why, to read the news right now, you would think we were in Revelation 6, but guess what? We're not. So all this fear mongering got me to thinking about the things that a bible believing Christian should and should not be afraid of.
"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." Joshua 1:9 (KJB)
On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we are taking a look at fear in the Bible, did you know that our trusty King James Bible tells us 331 times in 144 verse to 'fear not', and tells us "be not afraid" 205 times in 54 verses? Conversely, we read that "fear of the Lord" is the beginning of wisdom, and goes on to tell us some of the things that we should be afraid of.
There is a huge difference between Godly fear and the fear of man, and even though we trust in the Lord Jesus in our spirit, sometimes that nasty, old unsaved flesh will make us start quaking in our boots with the fear of man. With all the fear mongering about the coronavirus, the stock market and the upcoming elections, I think a Bible study on what we should and should not fear is timely, edifying and quite necessary. God gave us the emotion of fear for a reason, but like anything else, the thought of fear needs to be brought "into captivity", as Paul tells us, that God may be glorified. We hope you will join us for this very much-needed end times study on fear.

Your Generous Donations Make These Live King James Radio Bible Studies Possible!
On our Sunday 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:
- "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.
Listen to what our donation angels have to say about the ministry of Now The End Begins
- "Hey NTEB, just wanted to say thank you for the radio show, I am loving it every single one of them. Right now I’m studying the rightly dividing the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God. God saved me from a horrible pit and the Holy Spirit lead me to Pastor Charles Lawson many years ago, and now at NTEB. Can’t be more blessed than that.Thank you, Thank you, Thank you..........Jesus. Till He comes...Blessings and Prayers on you." Alda Kajana
- 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
- "I believe in Christ Jesus, my LORD and Savior. I see Mt 24 “ The Days of NOAH “. Happening before our eyes. I think from all the signs, turmoil, godlessness, the Rapture Is at hand.1 Thes 4:16–18. WARN SOMEONE TODAY." Dwight Shotwell
- " I like the way you are promoting the scriptures of the Kingdom Message Baptism of Jesus Christ, as those of Paul in Acts 20: 27-31 Preachers don't D this !! they make up their own IDEAS and then claim the person has Holy Spirit, WHEN THEY HAVE NOT not ever will !!!! ...bye now..." Bara Rodgers
