The End Times Bible Prophecy Newsletter Has Moved to Substack!
I've got some exciting news to share. The End Times Bible prophecy Newsletter has moved from MailChimp to Substack. As mentioned below, this has a number of benefits and will result in more articles and videos on events in our world and how they relate to bible prophecy.
Why Substack?
So why is Substack the preferred platform for the End Times Bible Prophecy community and the information we share? Here are several reasons:
1) Central Hub – First of all, Substack offers a central hub, a home base location where I can post videos, articles, and quick notes. If you subscribe to this Substack (which is free), each post goes straight to your email inbox. If you don’t subscribe to this Substack (and again, why not? It’s free!), you can still come directly here and read or listen to all the articles and videos you’ve become accustomed to. If you’ve been watching my videos on YouTube, Rumble, and/or Odysee, those videos will continue to appear on all of those channels. But obviously, written content such as articles and Notes can’t be posted on those platforms. So make sure to come here so you don’t miss out on important info.
2) No Censorship – Substack doesn't have the same history of censorship as the Big Tech platforms. During the COVID lockdowns and the vaccine rollout, many of those platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter censored content and banned certain content creators. Substack didn’t follow that model. Just the opposite. It showed itself to be a place where free speech prevailed. While that doesn't mean Substack will always be free from censorship, for the time being, it remains a place where freedom of speech is valued and honored. This is a big deal. It means the Big Tech platforms can't get between us.
It also means we’ll be able to cover certain content and topics on Substack we couldn’t cover on video platforms such as YouTube. In the future, we’ll be able to talk about vaccine passports and other topics YouTube frowned upon without the threat of YouTube strikes or channel bans. For those topics, I’ll post videos directly to Substack.
As mentioned in some previous videos, YouTube unsubscribed many people without their consent. I know from looking at statistics they shadow banned the channel for a long period of time from late July up until recently. By building a direct connection with each other, YouTube won’t be able suppress my channel’s content to the same extent as it has in the past.
3) Direct Link/Connection with You – If you sign up to my Substack (again, it’s free to do so), it means each post on this platform goes directly to your e-mail inbox. That means Big Tech (and YouTube in particular) can't limit the reach of each post. It means they’ll no longer be able to come between us. We’ll have a direct connection they can’t break. Furthermore, if something happens in the future, and Substack goes down the same road of censorship, I’ll have the full e-mail list for this Substack. This means I can simply move to another platform or set up my own service to continue getting this vital content to you. This isn’t possible with YouTube, Rumble, or Facebook. And unfortunately, this direct connection is likely to become much more important in the days ahead as we see the global crackdown on free speech rachet up.
What Will Change?
So what changes should you expect? Right now, don't expect big changes. I will continue to post regular videos three times per week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) for the foreseeable future. What will change is I plan to post more written articles similar to those that appeared in the past in The End Times Bible Prophecy Newsletter. Those newsletters appeared once per month and featured a single article. Moving forward, I expect to be able to create more than one article per month. In addition, as noted, some videos will be exclusive to the Substack due to the sensitive nature of the content.
In addition to videos and articles, Substack also has the added feature of Notes which are short posts similar to tweets on Twitter (now known as “X”). With Notes, I’ll be able to share my thoughts on a regular basis regarding articles I've read, videos I've watched, and other nuggets of information related to bible prophecy. On top of all that, I plan to offer premium content from time to time for those who choose to be paid subscribers.
What Are Paid Subscribers?
Paid subscribers are those who choose to pay for some of the extra benefits offered on this Substack. If you've enjoyed The End Times Bible Prophecy Newsletter in the past or have enjoyed watching “End Times Bible Prophecy with Britt Gillette” on YouTube, Rumble, or Odyssey, all those types of content will remain free and available to everyone.
Paid subscribers will enjoy extra benefits. For example, they’ll be able to post comments on each Substack post. This helps fund some of the financial cost, time, effort, and research that goes into putting this information into the public domain. It also limits the time I have to spend moderating comments as it's highly unlikely trolls and spammers will post comments they have to pay to post.
Paid subscribers will also gain full access to the Substack’s archive. While almost every post will be freely available to all, all posts will be archived one month after they’re originally posted. Paid subscribers, however, will be able to access those posts forever.
Furthermore, in the past, many people have expressed a desire to send me donations. Despite that, I haven’t set up a link for donations in the past simply because I plan to do this work whether or not I ever receive any financial compensation. You won’t hear me say “support this ministry.” The reason is because (God willing), I plan to do this work no matter what. Financial donations aren’t needed to continue doing this.
That said, a lot of time, effort, and financial resources go into producing these articles and videos. So as part of this Substack, I plan to provide extra value to support the time, effort, and research that goes into doing this. Examples might include “deep dives” into topics such as molecular manufacturing, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, personal resilience, the Great Taking, and other topics.
How Are You Able to Do This?
Hey, Britt – you’ve already said in the past that you’re stretched to the limit in terms of time dedicated to doing this work, how are you now able to do more? As you may know, I have a wife and three children. I also have a full-time job. My wife also has a full-time job working at the school where our children attend. Outside of work, we spend the better part of our time doing laundry, cleaning the house, and driving to and from sports events and other activities.
It’s very clear – creating videos and articles takes a huge amount of time. Therefore, how am I able to now create more content? The answer is simple – efficiency. I've undertaken several measures to become more productive with the time I do have. First, I'm doing everything I can to increase my physical energy. This means getting more sleep, eating better, and getting more exercise. As part of that quest, I constructed this stand up desk so I'm not sitting all of the time:
I custom built this using various IKEA components, so it’s engineered to my exact height. This means I'm standing and moving around the office all day as I work rather than being stationary and stuck in a chair which quickly drains your energy. As you know, Paul said we should train as athletes (1 Corinthians 9:25-27). I believe we can see the finish line. Christ is returning soon. When you can see the finish line, it's not time to slack off. It's time to sprint. But since we don't know how far away the finish line is, we don't want to run out of energy short of the finish line. Jesus said we should calculate the cost to make sure we have the means to finish a project (Luke 14:28-30). It would be foolish to push myself so hard. I would burn out before reaching the finish line, so I’m taking every measure I can to be as efficient as possible and to share as much information as possible without sacrificing my health or my relationships.
In addition to the stand up desk, I also purchased a new laptop, and I now have Microsoft 365. Believe it or not, I was still using the 2007 version of Microsoft Office. Yes, this makes me a dinosaur! While it was time to upgrade anyway, one bonus in using the updated version of Microsoft Office is a built-in dictation button in Microsoft Word. In the past, it took several hours to write a rough draft of a 1,500- to 2,000-word article. That's one of the reasons I started making videos. With videos, I could simply share my thoughts and get more information out much more quickly than I could through writing.
However, now that I can dictate, it makes writing articles just as efficient or almost as efficient as making videos. So why not just make videos? The answer is twofold. First, some people prefer the written word over videos. Many of these people don't watch the videos, but they're open to reading articles. I want to reach as many of those people as possible. Second, articles can be filled with much more information than videos as they can include hyperlinks to much of the referenced information, and I can take time to edit them so as to better communicate the information I'm trying to relay.
