Now The End Begins
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
NATO Summit In Turkey Puts Trump Beside Recep Tayyip Erdoğan As Weapons, Alliances, Ukraine And Israel’s Regional Security All Collide

Donald Trump is in Turkey for the NATO Summit in Ankara, and that makes the whole scene far more significant than a routine diplomatic photo-op. He is standing in Ankara, at the center of the Western military alliance, being warmly received by enemy of Israel Recep Tayyip Erdoğan while NATO gathers to discuss defense spending, weapons production, Ukraine, and the future of global military power. This is not merely Trump visiting a foreign leader; this is Trump under the NATO banner, beneath the Turkish crescent and star, surrounded by soldiers, jets, smoke trails, and the unmistakable theater of state power.

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man,
in whom there is no help.” Psalm 146:3 (KJV)

Erdoğan is not simply another NATO head of state, he has repeatedly positioned Turkey as a major Islamic power broker and has been one of the loudest anti-Israel voices in the alliance. Yet Trump, who has sold himself to evangelical Christians as Israel’s greatest political defender, is being celebrated by a leader whose rhetoric and regional ambitions run directly against Israel’s interests. The contradiction is glaring: praise Israel in one speech, embrace Erdoğan in the next, and expect Christians to call it “4D chess” and the “art of the deal”. Nothing could be further from the truth. And give Israel’s enemy f-35 fighter jets? Yikes.
President Trump said he was lifting sanctions that bar the sale of certain military equipment to Turkey — potentially paving the way for the provision of advanced F-35 fighter jets. “We don’t want to sanction friends,” Trump told reporters.
Behind the pageantry is the real issue: weapons, leverage, and power. Reports surrounding the summit have included the possibility of Turkey returning to the F-35 fighter jet program, despite Turkey being removed after purchasing Russia’s S-400 missile system. Israel has reportedly raised serious concerns about what advanced American stealth fighters in Erdoğan’s hands could mean for the regional balance of power. So this is not just a handshake. It is a NATO summit in Turkey, hosted by Erdoğan, with Israel’s security concerns sitting in the background while Trump plays dealmaker on the world stage.

The student of prophecy should see this for what it is: not peace, not loyalty, and not righteousness, but end-times diplomacy in motion. The kings of the earth gather, flatter, bargain, arm, threaten, and realign while Israel remains the burdensome stone at the center of it all. The world calls it diplomacy. NATO calls it alliance management. The media calls it strategy. But the watchman sees another reminder that no prince, no president, no alliance, and no global summit can be trusted. ...




Harbinger’s Daily
By Jonathan Brentner: It’s everywhere. We hear it on popular news channels. Its anthem rings out in the halls of the US Congress. Most churches, many knowingly and others unwittingly, promote it.

The steadily intensifying antisemitism of our day points to the reality of the rapidly approaching Tribulation period. It’s one of the more distinguishing signs of our time because it aligns with so many prophecies that predict hatred for Israel and the Jews during the last days. In Zechariah 8:13, the Lord foretold what we see today along with His promise to dramatically reverse the fortunes of the Jewish people: “And as you have been a byword of cursing among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Fear not, but let your hands be strong.”

What we see today fulfills the first part of these words from the Lord. Those inside and outside the church who attack Israel, however, overlook the Lord’s promise that after the hatred and cursing, He will save Israel and cause it to be a blessing to the nations.

It will be one of the greatest plot twists of all time, rivaling what the account recorded in Esther with its radical change of direction, with its most unexpected outcome.

God’s promise in Zechariah 8:13 underscores the misunderstanding—and even unbelief—of those who attack us as “Zionists” because we believe the Lord will someday fulfill His promise to restore a kingdom to Israel. The accusations of today’s anti-Zionists continue the world’s cursing of the Jewish people while at the same time, they deny the Lord’s promise that He will not only save the Jewish people, but will also make them a “blessing” to the nations. Read Zechariah 8:20-23 for the details of how the Jewish people will bless the nations during the Millennium.

What is Zionism? ...

You haven't broken the law.

You aren't fleeing police.

You're simply buying a cup of coffee, meeting a friend for lunch, or taking your children to the park.

As you walk past a police vehicle, a camera silently scans your face. Within seconds, artificial intelligence compares your image against government databases. Another camera identifies your vehicle. Your smartphone quietly confirms your location. Computers can now connect where you've been, who you've met, and perhaps one day what you've purchased.

No officer approaches you.

Nothing happens.

Israel 365 News
By Tamar Stein: A new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs poll published Tuesday delivers hard numbers to a trend Israel’s supporters have watched unfold for two years: the Democratic Party is turning against the Jewish state, even as American Jews continue to vote for it in overwhelming numbers.

The poll, conducted June 11-17 among 3,040 adults, including an oversample of 1,022 Jewish respondents, found that 58% of Democrats now say the United States is too supportive of Israel, up from 45% in January 2024. 62% of Democrats say the U.S. is not supportive enough of the Palestinians, up from 49% over the same period. 31% of all Americans now say Israel’s military actions in Gaza constitute genocide, a claim embraced by 52% of Democrats and rejected by 87% of Republicans.

Republicans moved in the opposite direction entirely. 61% now say U.S. support for Israel is “about right,” up from just 33% in January 2024. In 2024, 39% of Republicans said Washington wasn’t supportive enough of Israel; today, most Republicans believe the balance has been struck.

The poll’s most revealing numbers concern Jewish Americans themselves. Jewish adults remain sharply divided along party lines even as their community as a whole tilts toward supporting Israel’s actions: 73% of Jewish respondents call Israel’s immediate military response to the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack justified, and 42% support Israel’s ongoing operations in Gaza. But among Jewish Democrats, 51% say the U.S. is too supportive of Israel, and 45% believe Israel committed genocide in Gaza, a figure that stands in stark contrast to the 3% of Jewish Republicans who say the same. ...



Geller Report
By Pamela Geller: Nearly Half of NYC Public Schools Are Failing Our Children While Mamdani Wages His Ideological Jihad

Students can’t read or do math, but they’re programmed to vote socialist.

Fewer than half the students at nearly 900 New York City public schools are proficient in math and reading, according to a stunning new report. Even more alarming, 43% of the city’s roughly 912,000 public school students are trapped in these chronically failing schools. New York’s schools are destroying our children’s futures.

While Zohran Mamdani fixates on imposes sharia, demonizes Jews, and drives businesses and producers out of New York, an entire generation of children is being condemned to abject failure. This is the real horror. New York’s public schools are collapsing, and the city’s left-wing political class is too busy pursuing radical agendas to save its own kids. It’s not even a line item. ...



Jihad Watch
By Robert Spencer: The Islamic Republic of Iran is continuing to project an image of absolute impunity, as if it had emerged victorious from its war with the United States, and was now going to proceed, Nuremberg Trial-style, to punish those who said publicly that this war was necessary. If public figures in any other country had been targeted, there would be an international outcry. But because most of Iran’s targets are considered “right-wing,” the international left, including its media apparatus, has no problem with these murderous threats at all. ...




End Of The American Dream
By Michael Snyder: As I write this article, large explosions are being reported all over Iran. Does this mean that the “Memorandum of Understanding” is doomed? Iran made a very foolish move when it decided to start attacking commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz again. It was inevitable that the U.S. would respond militarily, and this time the Trump administration is not messing around. Apparently this wave of airstrikes is far larger than the waves of airstrikes that we witnessed near the end of last month. Of course the Iranians are going to strike back. That goes without saying. But when fighting has flared up in the past, a way has always been found to settle things back down. Will that be true this time, or has the next chapter of World War III started?

According to U.S. Central Command, the goal of the latest U.S. airstrikes is to “impose heavy costs” on Iran for attacking commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. ...
