Now The End Begins
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
The Trump administration is seeking contractors to help it overhaul the United States’ immigrant detention system in a plan that includes renovating industrial warehouses to hold more than 80,000 immigrant detainees at a time.
Question: if you wanted to construct concentration camps all across America, but didn’t want people to think you were building such camps, how could you do it openly and publicly without arousing undue suspicion? You would say that these camps were being built to hold illegal immigrants that were being deported, and the crowd goes wild. But after you’ve deported a finite number of people, what would then become with the camps you spent billions of dollars to build? You would have to use them for something. Hmm, let me think for a minute, don’t tell me, I’ll get it.
Don’t get me wrong, like most of you, I am absolutely in favor of removing anyone and everyone who entered into our sovereign nation illegally, as long as it’s done as humanely as possible. That said, just about any student of 20th century history knows that when Adolf Hitler began using old military bases to house political dissidents, and that light bulb went off over his head, he knew right away he was onto something that could be easily sold to a gullible public. How about it, America, feeling gullible? If so, please applaud President Trump and his soon-coming concentration camps immigrant warehouses.
“First they came for the Communists, And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me.”

Harbinger’s Daily
By Nathan Jones: Should you be one of the increasingly few who still remember what the real “reason for the season” is this Christmas, then you can’t help but think about Jesus. How, though, in your mind’s eye, do you actually picture Him?
The Christmas Jesus
Because the Christmas holiday celebrates the Savior’s birth, when picturing Jesus, one naturally sees a baby. Popular nativity scenes portray Luke’s description of Jesus as a tiny babe swaddled in strips of cloth and lying in an animal trough. His parents, Mary and Joseph, gaze down adoringly. Shepherds and wise men gape in amazement from their perches along stone walls. The heavenly host flies above majestically singing, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
While the angels add a sense of the divine to the Nativity Story, and Hollywood adds the touch of a beam of Bethlehem starlight spotlighting the little family, for the most part, the scene is rather pastoral. We see a peasant family sitting in the hay among the barnyard animals in some sort of cave. It is meant to be a very humble scene.
The Easter Jesus
The Easter Jesus Because Christmastime is also celebrated by cultural Christians and even non-Christians, the humble imagery of the baby Jesus remains in the mind’s eye. That is, until Easter. Then Jesus is portrayed altogether differently. Now He’s all grown up, fully bearded, yet frail and emaciated. His lithe body suffers from beatings and is covered in lash marks. He is nailed naked to a tree where he hangs limply, bleeding. And there Jesus remains on that cross in the mind’s eye, at least until Christmas returns to reset the mental image of Jesus back into a tiny baby again. And the circle continues.
The Popular Jesus
One of the most popular scenes from the movie Talladega Nights is when the lead character, race car driver Ricky Bobby (played by Will Ferrell), says grace with his family over a feast of fast food. He begins each praise and prayer request with “Dear Lord Baby Jesus” until his wife, Carley, impatiently interrupts with a, “Hey, you know, Sweetie, Jesus did grow up. You don’t always have to call him ‘baby.’” Incensed, Ricky responds with, “Well, I like the Christmas Jesus best, and I’m saying grace. When you say grace, you can say it to grown-up Jesus, or teenage Jesus, or bearded Jesus, or whoever you want.” Even Ricky’s father-in-law, Chip, chimes in with, “He was a man! He had a beard!” From there, the conversation degenerates as each family member describes the “Jesus” they prefer: a ninja fighting off evil samurai, a guy sporting giant eagle’s wings, or a cool fellow singing lead vocals in a band, and so on.
Christians watching this movie tend to squirm, dumbfounded over whether this scene balances closer to blasphemy or comedy. And yet, one cannot help but come away with a profound revelation: most people have created their own “Jesus.”
People see Jesus in the only way they’ve ever encountered Him, and often that’s only during Christmas and Easter. Therefore, Jesus remains to most people as either a helpless baby or a dying man.
The Prophetic Jesus
The beauty and majesty of God’s Prophetic Word introduce us to a third image of Jesus that few, if any, encounter because they never study Bible prophecy. In the prophecies concerning Jesus’ Second Coming, human frailty is stripped away, revealing Christ’s true glory—a divinity that the Apostles could only glimpse at the Transfiguration. Christ’s true form stunned James and John into silence and Peter into babbling. The Apostles had witnessed Jesus in His eternal, glorified state!

Prophecy News Watch
By SA McCarthy/The Washington Stand: Hundreds of Christians in China will likely spend Christmas in jail this year, according to a recent report. Starting on December 13, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) mobilized "more than a thousand police officers, SWAT units, anti-riot forces, and firefighters" in the Zhejiang Province's Yayang Town in Wenzhou City, raiding churches and conducting mass arrests of Christians, ChinaAid reported.
"Belongings of relevant individuals were illegally confiscated, roads leading to the church were completely blocked by police, and Christians in Yayang Town were unable to enter the Yayang church. The operation lasted nearly five days, yet no public statement was issued by officials," the outlet noted. "Within just the first two days, several hundreds of people were taken away for questioning. On December 16 and 17, at least four more individuals were detained."
Two local Christians, 58-year-old Lin Enzhao and 54-year-old Lin Enci, were labeled "principal suspects of a criminal organization" by the CCP, with locally-posted wanted posters charging the two with "picking quarrels and provoking trouble," which ChinaAid noted is a "commonly used charge" by the CCP against religious and political dissidents.
Over the past several years, CCP officials in Yayang Town have attempted to forcibly destroy church property, including symbols such as crosses, and install CCP propaganda and imagery, such as the five-star Red Flag and the CCP's constitution. Enzhao and Enci were key figures in opposing the CCP's efforts.

Israel 365 News
By Rabbi Pesach Wolicki: Israel is on the verge of a decision that could fundamentally alter its relationship with the United States—and the world. For decades, American military aid has been a cornerstone of Israel’s security strategy, but now the possibility of ending that aid is on the table. The implications of this move are seismic, not just for Israel’s defense, but for its sovereignty, its future, and its place in the world. This isn’t about severing ties with the U.S.—it’s about redefining the terms of that relationship.
The idea of ending $3.8 billion in annual U.S. military aid might sound unthinkable, but Israel has reached a point where it no longer needs to rely on the U.S. to maintain its security. The country’s defense industry is more self-sufficient than ever, capable of developing cutting-edge technology and securing international contracts without U.S. support. And yet, for years, American aid has come with a price: U.S. influence over Israel’s strategic decisions. From the Sinai withdrawal in 1979 to the Iran nuclear deal, American aid has been tied to political concessions, shaping the very direction of Israeli policy.
Now, members of Netanyahu’s inner circle, including former strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer, are proposing a new approach: end the aid, and replace it with joint defense initiatives where both Israel and the U.S. invest in advanced military technology. This would allow Israel to maintain its defense cooperation with America without the political leverage that aid has so often brought. It’s a bold plan—and one that could finally liberate Israel from the grip of foreign influence.

By Bruce Bawer: The perennial yuletide favorite “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” was introduced in the 1944 MGM film Meet Me in St. Louis. It’s a bittersweet song, sung by Esther Smith (Judy Garland) to her little sister Tootie (Margaret O’Brien) at a point in the story when they think that their family is about to move to New York from their beloved home in the Gateway City. The melody was by Ralph Blane; the lyric, by Hugh Martin, began: “Have yourself a merry little Christmas, / Let your heart be light. / Next year all our troubles will be out of sight.”
But those weren’t the original words. When the songwriters first submitted their ditty to the folks at MGM, the opening lines read: “Have yourself a merry little Christmas, / It may be your last. / Next year we may all be living in the past.” But Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli, her director and future husband, found them far too downbeat for this sweet family drama. So Martin changed them.
“Have yourself a merry little Christmas, / It may be your last.” Many of us in the West, surveying the landscape around us, have been intensely aware for years now of the changes that our own little corner of the world has undergone. In some places, to be sure, the changes are more dramatic than others. In Western Europe, many cities are barely recognizable; certain once-pleasant neighborhoods now considered no-go zones, while in other neighborhoods the Muslim call to prayer can be heard several times a day from the minaret of the nearest mosque.

Geller Report
By Pamela Geller: TPUSA members overwhelmingly support Israel. 87 percent according to a survey conducted at the recent TPUSA AmericaFest event. And one third consider Israel to be America’s top ally. These are incredible results given Tucker Carlson’s unrelenting campaign to destroy Israel’s standing among Conservatives.
Turning Point’s decision to continue to give him a platform is……indefensible. He is the worst of men, a profoundly corrosive influence, poisoning conservative minds with ideas that rot the soul.

End Of The American Dream
By Michael Snyder: Major powers all over the globe are getting their missiles ready. You would think that more people would be alarmed by this, but most of the population just continues to party like it’s 1999. The drumbeats of war are intensifying all around us, and yet just about everyone seems to believe that there is no reason for concern. But as the world celebrates “peace”, will sudden destruction break out instead?
It appears that military action against Venezuela could potentially begin at any moment.
I will get to that later in this article.
The Chinese are extremely upset with how aggressive we have become with the Venezuelans, and U.S. officials are warning that they have loaded “more than 100 intercontinental ballistic missiles” into their launchers in three brand new silo fields near the Mongolian border.

The Long Shadow Of Islamic History
Synopsis: Ecclesiastes 1:9 poetically tells us that history always repeats itself, and unfortunately, humanity often fails to learn from it, has a tendency to rewrite it, and in doing so sets the stage for even greater consequences ahead. In our December 2025 Prophecy Update, we examine the history of Islam, its relationship with Israel, the U.S., and the world, see why failing to grasp the Muslim method of operation can be catastrophic, and, most importantly, learn how both history and present-day developments are helping to set up systems that the Bible says will arise in the End Times.
