AS HIS ‘JESUS IS KING’ ALBUM HITS NO. #1 ON THE BILLBOARD CHARTS, WE NEED TO ASK IS KANYE WEST REALLY A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN OR AN END TIMES DECEIVER? by Geoffrey Grider for Now The End Begins
Tonight we will be doing a 2-hour live podcast called The Kanye West Deception, and you can listen to it right here on this page. We will not be attacking Kanye in any way, but we will be examining his words, his testimony, his Sunday Service shows, the lyrics to the songs on his No. #1 new album ‘Jesus Is King’, and we will compare what we find to scripture and see if we can rightly divide if Kanye West has truly become born again, is just using Christianity as an evil genius marketing ploy, or worse. I have long believed that we would see an end times revival before the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church, but that it would be a false revival leading people astray.
Salvation is not a surface thing, biblical New Testament salvation in Jesus Christ happens on the inside, and it happens with the preaching of the gospel of the grace of God, and it always changes you.
On November 3rd, Billboard announced that the new ‘Jesus Is King’ album placed in the No. #1 spot on their Top 200 charts, making it the ninth consecutive debut at No. 1 for rap artist Kanye West. ‘Jesus Is King‘ was released on Oct. 25 via G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam Recordings and earned 264,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 31, according to Nielsen Music. Wow, and how was your week? Probably not nearly as exciting as that.

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV)
Right now the main topic of conversation all across the boards on Facebook is about Kanye West, about his new album, about his Sunday Service travelling show, but most specifically about his recent claim of becoming a born again Christian. When I first heard this news of his conversion to Christianity, I thought that it was a great thing, I really did. I love to see God save anyone, it is always exciting to see Him work. After all, Now The End Begins is a ministry that seeks and works to spread the gospel of the grace of God that people might be saved. So yes, I rejoiced over the news of Kanye getting saved.
