Established in 2009, Geoffrey Grider created the biblical prophecy website, Now The End Begins (NTEB) to help Christians stay informed with important events that relate to the scriptures in the end times. For the last 11 years and counting, Grider has tried to provide Bible believing Christians with a great outlet to read news relating to the numerous prophecies contained in the King James Bible. However, Now The End Begins has unfortunately become part of the prophesied apostasy Grider has so often reported on.

Believe me when I say, I have no joy in writing this article. However it is one that I feel must be written. I will officially and openly say that I can no longer recommend Now The End Begins. This is not to say that everything he says is wrong, but the errors I have been seeing are just getting too ridiculous that they cannot be overlooked. This is also not to say I will never refer to some of his sources in the time to come, but as a whole, I simply cannot recommend Grider’s work like I once did. Now The End Begins is one of the many reasons why I felt strongly led to start The WinePress in the first place, simply because of the errors I am seeing, and a lack of other critical information the body of Christ needs to hear now more than ever before.

As the title of this article states, Geoffrey Grider has posted some fake news. On June 2nd of this year, Grider wrote an article titled “DEFYING HIS ENEMIES, PRESIDENT TRUMP WALKS TO BURNED CHURCH AND LIFTS UP THE KING JAMES BIBLE, DRIVING THE ENEMIES OF GOD INTO APOPLECTIC FRENZY.” This is a flat out lie. The article goes on to praise him (like he always does) and almost made it out to be like Trump is some man of God.

But what drove the New World Order elites and the Laodicean hirelings over the edge was when he lifted up that 7-sealed King James Bible. In that singular moment, the world was reminded where the real battle lies.

What makes this obvious fake news is that President Trump very clearly did NOT hold up a KJV: he held up a Roman Catholic RSV.

I encourage you to check out the comment section of his post. A large number of people pointed out that Trump held up a RSV, and some even provided pictures. However, the article has not be retracted or corrected. As a matter of fact, a ministry friend and WinePress contributor told Mr. Grider that he was wrong, and it got him BANNED. That means Geoffrey KNOWS that he is wrong, but is too prideful to correct himself.

If Mr. Grider can knowingly post false information like that, and then not allow himself to be corrected, we then have to question anything he posts. Sad but true.

In that same comment section of that article, there are many others pointing out the obvious fact that Trump is just a Catholic-Jesuit plant – and they are absolutely correct. There are many things I could point to, but 2 very obvious examples was the 2016 Al Smith Catholic charity dinner, and the one this year in 2020. In both scenarios, the candidates can be seen pandering to the papacy, because, that is who they truly serve! Why has Now The End Begins not reported that?

Skip to 14:22, where you can here Trump saying we need to end anti-catholic bias, and we need to come together as a world community.
Skip to 10:55 to hear Trump’s speech.

In the 2020 Al Smith dinner, Trump can be heard saying that “…anti-catholic bigotry has absolutely no place in the United States of America.” And there are other “gems” as well that Trump says, too. The point is, why is Grider not reporting on this? For the sake of argument, let’s say he still wants to vote for him – then that’s between him and the Lord – but he still needs to be honest with his viewers and report the news that is fulfilling end times prophecy; which is the whole reason why I thought he started his website!

There is a whole lot more I could say in regards to President Trump, but I am showing this to demonstrate that Geoff is not willing to outright condemn the obvious.

Beyond the fake news that he has posted, there are some other things that he has said that are just obscure to say the least.

For example, it was not too long ago, that Grider posted an article on August 27th stating that Fox News analyst Tucker Carlson “Is The Last Truth Teller In The Main Stream Media.” Now, there are secular sources that have some great information to provide, sure; but to put some mainstream media goon on a pedestal is just ridiculous. Days after election night, the mainstream media, including Carlson, tried to utterly downplay the obvious voter fraud that was occurring, and move on as if the election was a done deal. Carlson is just another seducing spirit here in these end times (1 Tim 4:1-3) as a part of the controlled opposition. It is evident, like so many other professing Christians today, they have been bewitched because they allowed THEMSELVES to be ensnared by it, and not use better judgment given by the Holy Spirit of God.

This is just a sampling of why I can no longer endorse Now The End Begins.

Not only that, Grider has compromised to the Draconian nonsense by face-masking himself. To make things even worse, he even provides a John 3:16 junk mask in his box of business cards! That is NOT how you witness for Jesus Christ whatsoever! Even an astute commenter calls him out on this.

“I’m confused, I read an article on here about the “mask” situation maybe a month ago. If I remember correctly, It was about how Costco implemented a “mandatory mask” policy for all shoppers. Also if my memory serves me correctly, didn’t you say something like “If they require a mask, they don’t get my business”. Now your selling masks?”

Just more hypocrisy. This is why the church has little to no spiritual power left because the Lord’s own children (Rom 8:16-17), betrothed – chaste virgins (Eph 5:22-33; 2 Cor 11:2-4), soldiers ( 2 Tim 2: 3-4; Eph 6:10-20), servants 1 Cor 7:21-24), friends (Joh 15:13-27), so on and so forth – have lost faith and trust in the Lord that bled and died for them, and called them to be separate from the world.

[1] I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Romans 12:1-2 & James 4:4

If I were without Christ today, and I saw someone with verses of scripture on their mask, it would not do a darn thing to convict me to get saved. As far as I’d be concerned, I’d have to question, “How is this man any better than me? What does he have to offer me? He is doing the same thing as me. Where are the mighty powers of this Jesus they proclaim?” (I speak as a fool).

I have NEVER wore a face mask since this nonsense started, or will I be. And I pray God severely chasten me if I ever were to start SELLING them! If you want some great witnessing power, how about wearing a shirt with scriptures and/or remarks about the Draconian tyranny, without wearing a mask. That shows the world you are different, and you have something to offer more than dead religion that has been hush-hush about Covid since its inception.

The WinePress is currently in the process of getting apparel, tracts, and other witnessing materials prepared to arm the Christian for the army of the King, Jesus Christ.

As for his doctrinal stands, Geoff and I, would, by and large, agree on most things in scripture. However, he is beginning to teach some odd things as well now too.

For example, he is now convinced himself that Emmanuel Macron, leader of France, is the antichrist of Revelation 13. This is just another sensualist fable put out by the Laodecian prophecy teachers all over the internet. This stuff follows the same logic that has been used for people like former US President Barack Obama, and how he was the antichrist. But we know that was a load of garbage. Or when these prophecy preachers try and manipulate their flocks into thinking that the word ‘trump’ in the King James Bible, found in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:5-58, are implicitly referring to President Donald Trump.

[1] Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, [2] That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. [3] Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; [4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. [5] Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? [6] And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. [7] For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. [8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

2 Thessalonians 2:1-8

The antichrist will not be revealed UNTIL the body of Christ has been caught up (“raptured”). Period.

But if you thought that was bad, during the start of the Draconian lockdowns across the globe, Grider was toying with the idea that Bill Gates was the antichrist! Gates and Macron are antichrists, but they are certainly NOT the antichrist. It is interesting to see, however, Grider contradicts himself and admits that the antichrist cannot be revealed until the church is removed first. This would conflict with his current stances on Macron being the man of sin.

… [The] Antichrist has not been released with the opening of First Seal from Revelation 6, no Antichrist, no Mark of the Beast. Besides, the Church is raptured out before the opening of the First Seal anyway. [The] Antichrist is not brought about by any human means, he is released onto the earth by Jesus. I’m just giving you some bible, that said, Bill Gates is a scary, scary individual.

There are other things that Grider compromises on as well.

For example, Grider will not openly teach the biblical Godhead. He will compromise by saying that God is manifested in three persons, but also the same one person. That does not make sense from any logical or scriptural standpoint. That being said, I know what he is saying, but people like himself are being very careful to not rock the boat. If he did, then he would be labeled as a cult leader in an instant, and large pockets of his support would leave him because of his denial of the trinity. I have documented this type of behavior with a vast number of quotes in my book, “The Lord of Glory.”

Another thing Grider completely compromises on is saying the future world religion of the antichrist will be Chrislam (False Christianity + Islam). The ecumenical movement and interfaith relations are just mere smokescreens. I am not going to get into here, but Islam was CREATED by Catholicism. Feel free to check me out on that if you do not believe me. Rome has NEVER, nor will it ever, share it’s preeminence. Please read Revelation 17 and 18 in a King James Bible for yourself. What you will find is the Vatican very clearly described, and her power structure she has, including the leaders of the nations under their control (you know, like Biden and Trump). You will not find a shred of Islam and Mohammedanism found in there.

Missionaries … among the Muslims will be successful in the measure that they preach Our Lady of Fatima. … [Islam] … will eventually be converted to Christianity …through a summoning of the Muslims to a veneration of the Mother of God.

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (1895-1979). “Babylon Religion” by David W. Daniels. Pg. 177.

One final thing to conclude on. Even after knowing all of this, I still had some grace for him. As a matter of fact, when I released my book “The Lord of Glory,” I emailed Geoff if he wanted a copy for free. I got no response, but I proceeded to send a free eBook copy regardless. Mr. Grider knows exactly who I am. I sent him a copy of my first book, “The Romans 10 Controversy,” and he responded and gladly accepted. He knows that I have worked with brother Bryan Denlinger of King James Video Ministries (who Geoff endorses on his YouTube page) on multiple projects, including my most recent book where Bryan and his wife bulk-edited my manuscripts, and Bryan promoted it on his channel. You would think I would get a simple thank you from Geoff, but I suppose not.

Even after all of that, in the early stages of creating this very website, I knew he a ran website-building business. His company did some nice work so I thought I’d see if they’d make one for me. I emailed him on his secular website what I wanted, and you know what I got in return? Nothing! He literally ignored my request! Now how are you supposed to run a business if you don’t accept new clientele? Lord only knows, but Geoff must not have wanted “competition.”

As I have stated, I get no joy in writing these articles, but I feel it had to be written. Too many brethren have shared their displeasure with the direction Now The End Begins has headed. I strongly believe why this is one of the reasons the Lord has placed me in this line of ministry work. Mr. Geoffrey Grider, if you reading this, know that I do not hate you, but you are simply wrong and have been proven to be a liar. I am a nobody in this world: I am just a young man doing his best to serve God with the gifts he has blessed me with. YOU, Mr. Grider, have become the very thing you claim to be fighting against. I pray you get right.

  • Will try this again : – ). Mr. Grider’s sensationalist approach has been a check to my whole-hearted endorsement from the beginning. His handling of the whole Macron thing is ‘off’. Commented to correct some historical errors on Cyrus and family crests a while back. Noticed that the article was partially amended, removing the especially egregious & obvious parts…but why post that garbage in the first place without checking claims? My thinking is that he’s a purposeful distractor & disinfo….more subtle than flat earth, ‘black hebrew roots’ and some of the others that draw followers from Christ’s commission, but my guess is he’s tied to some ‘order’ or alphabet soup agency. I go there maybe once every week or so just to see what he has up, then do my own research if it seems to merit that. I forgot to mention Joseph Mercola posting on your youtube link as another health source. New age humanist, but you can glean some solid health & nutrition info there, plus some of the political backstory.

  • Okay so this is on Griders website NTEB in the about section under sub heading Free Gift, he talks in this section about a young man named John and as you read on you will read this I copied and pasted the proof from his website to here, just as they are!
    ( ” We told him that salvation is not a “magic bullet”, a “get out of jail free card”, or some “30 second prayer” someone gets you to pray.” )
    So if you keep scrolling down on his web page you come to this less then 30 sec what to pray!

    (“Pray and ask the Lord, “Lord Jesus, be merciful to me a sinner, and save me. I now, with a repentant heart, receive you as my personal Saviour”.” )

    NOTICE the line ” receive you as my personal Savior” , I don’t think so, Jesus Christ decides who he receives!!!! and so much for 30 second prayers.

    1 Corinthians 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

    Yes this man is full of pride, I have called him out on a few things in his comment section , with no response!

  • I’ve tried to have several conversations with Mr. Grider about his views on Christianity, and he always tried to shoot me down because I don’t do it like he does. For example, I’ve told them that God speaks to us inside and outside of the Bible. For example, a rainbow is God’s way of saying everything is gonna be ok. Mr. Grider has said that’s fake, and that God ONLY speaks to us THROUGH the Bible. Well, if that’s true, I guess God told Geoff in the Bible that he should start his own business. Nope. That’s not how that works.

    • Yeah God is a closed book according to their mentality, no mystery nothing else to know with their closed mind. Almost like God is dead and has nothing more to say since scriptures. Wisdom is a wonderful gift ❤️ I pray he and NTEB receive it

  • He now has a book store in set Augustine and I’ve compared the prices of what he is selling and he’s marking it up $10 to $20! What a rip off!

  • Unfortunately I went to his site to leave a comment on an article not knowing they were rabid anti-Catholics who pounced like demons. I found no Christianity and all the red flags of a cult. I agree with comment earlier, it was so intense I feel sure Geoffrey is a plant for someone or some group to cause splinters, I have my suspicions that he belongs to two groups. I got banned quickly. They are very self delusional, insular and full of Pride to a shocking degree, stroking each other’s egos that everyone else is wrong and going to hell but they are almost the chosen ones! It was extremely sad and I am sure there are many other groups like themselves. You cannot reason with narcissism or the devil, best not to engage!

  • I have caught many lies in his articles, one example are the 5 cadets that died (according to him) of a fentanyl overdose. The truth is none of them died…..His words are full of pride and he is the “I told ya so king.” He constantly brags about his works, his billboards put up by donations are half taken up to advertise his bookstore. He constantly attacks other pastors, I could go on, but I figured that place out quick. I pray some of his rabid devotees wake up.
