Now The End Begins
Israel Is Building A Gallows Execution Complex For Convicted Palestinian Terrorists, And Security Minister Ben-Gvir Wants To Add Viewing Booths For Spectators
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
Israel Has Every Right To Punish Terrorists, But Ben-Gvir’s Gallows Execution Complex With Viewing Booths Turns Justice Into A Macabre Spectacle Of Death
‘Now The End Begins’ has stood unapologetically with the Jewish people and the nation of Israel for nearly two decades, and that will not change. But biblical support for Israel does not require giving Israeli politicians a blank check, and Itamar Ben-Gvir’s plans for an execution complex containing gallows with viewing booths cross a disturbing line between the solemn administration of justice and the creation of a spectacle surrounding death. This will undoubtedly turn the entire world against the Jews and Israel.
Something very dark and deeply unsettling is taking shape in Israel, and those of us who genuinely love the Jewish people should be willing to say so without hesitation. Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has been publicly promoting the construction of an execution facility for terrorists sentenced to death under Israel’s new death-penalty legislation. The proposed complex is not merely being discussed as a secure place where lawful executions would occur behind prison walls; reports surrounding the project describe gallows for hanging condemned prisoners along with designated viewing areas where surviving victims of terrorist attacks and members of bereaved families could witness those executions.
That distinction is what makes this story so disturbing. There is an enormous difference between a government deciding, after due process and conviction for murder, that a criminal deserves the death penalty, and a government intentionally designing facilities so grieving relatives can sit and watch the condemned man drop through a gallows. The first is the administration of judgment by civil authority. The second begins to transform judgment into something theatrical, emotional and dangerously close to ritualized vengeance. You will also note that this same application of justice is not applied to Israelis convicted of them same type of crimes. It is only for the Palestinians.
Now let me make something perfectly clear at the outset, because the Bible is perfectly clear about it: capital punishment is not inherently immoral. Long before the Law of Moses was given to Israel, God established the principle of human government after the Flood and connected the shedding of a murderer’s blood directly to the fact that human beings are created in the image of God.

Syrian Nuclear Material, Turkish Encroachment, And The Burden Of Damascus
By Amir Tsarfati: It doesn’t matter who controls Syria—whether it’s the Assad regime or now Ahmed al-Sharaa—we know Biblically that there has to be a future cataclysmic event that will cause Damascus to cease from being a city (Isaiah 17:1). Knowing this, one eye has to always stay on what’s going on in Syria.
The situation in the nation remains turbulent. It’s not as though Syrian leadership became saints once Assad fell.
A few days ago, Syrian Arab Army chants were heard from the Grand Mosque in Damascus, shouting, “A storm has risen! Rain down destruction in the heat of battle! Coming for you, Jew, I am coming at you like a mountain of fire! Making ammunition for you out of my own body! Making rivers out of your blood! Allahu Akbar!”
Notice, they don’t say “Zionist” or “Israelis”—they aimed their threat directly at Jews. It’s plain and simple. That’s the new Syrian military—not the old one—comprised of ISIS and Al Qaeda militants. They are still consumed with hatred for Jewish people and are wishfully thinking of flowing “rivers” of Jewish blood.
That’s why Israel, post-October 7th, will not tolerate its borders being filled anymore with this type of murderous antisemitic ideology. That’s why Israel must maintain a security zone on the border with Syria. That’s why Israel must not let the monster grow.

Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: Abdul El-Sayed has attracted national attention after invoking Jesus Christ while defending political ideas critics describe as radical.
“Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him, was considered radical in his time too,” the Democratic nominee for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat recently said.
But whether a Muslim politician accurately understands Jesus is not the most consequential question surrounding El-Sayed's faith.
There is another question that reaches directly into the responsibilities of public office:
What role does Sharia play when a politician who considers it an obligation before God is making laws for Americans who do not believe in it?
That question deserves an answer because El-Sayed has previously described his adherence to Sharia in unusually serious terms.

A Quarter Century Later, Rosh Hashanah And 9/11 Converge On The Day Judgment Is Written, But The Shofar Is Silent
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz: This Rosh Hashanah arrives on the eve of September 11, 2026, twenty-five years to the day since nineteen terrorists hijacked four American airliners and killed 2,977 people, including five Israelis, drawn from more than seventy nations. The Jewish New Year, the Yamim Noraim, the Days of Awe, begins this year at the exact hour America marks a quarter century of mourning. It is only the second time since 2001 that the two dates have coincided, and this year Rosh Hashanah falls on Shabbat as well, meaning the shofar that normally opens the Jewish year will not sound at all.
The Unetane Tokef prayer, recited on Rosh Hashanah since medieval times, states, “B’Rosh Hashanah yikateivu, u’v’yom tzom Kippur yeichateimun,” “On Rosh Hashanah it is written, and on the fast day of Yom Kippur it is sealed” (from the Unetane Tokef prayer). The prayer plainly names what will be decided that day: “who will live and who will die.” American Jews reciting those words this year will do so twenty-five years and two days after standing in synagogues in 2001, when Rosh Hashanah fell on September 17, and half the country was still counting its dead. Some families that year were sitting shiva. Others were still waiting by phones for news that would never come good. The prayer that names life and death was never abstract for them. This year it returns on the anniversary itself.
Israelis reading the same liturgy carry a second reckoning few Americans are asked to hold. Nineteen attackers killed 2,977 people on September 11. On October 7, Hamas killed more than 1,300 Israelis and citizens of other nations, including at least 29 Americans, in a country of under ten million people. October 7 fell on Shabbat, Shemini Atzeret, the culmination of the High Holy Day cycle that begins with Rosh Hashanah. It is also Simchat Torah, when Jews joyfully celebrate the Torah.
Scaled to the size of the United States, the October 7 massacre was the equivalent of nearly 40,000 dead in a single day, thirteen times the toll of September 11. Every Israeli family knew someone touched by that day, directly or through a neighbor, a classmate, a friend. Hostages, including children and the elderly, were taken across a border in numbers with no precedent in the conflict’s history. The distinction is not a competition in grief. It is a statement of scale that Rosh Hashanah, arriving each year to ask who will live and who will die, no longer lets Israel or the Jewish world set aside.

The Catholic Groups Harboring Muslim Migrants In Ceuta
By Daniel Greenfield: Two weeks after over 70,000 Muslim migrants invaded the Spanish city of Ceuta, the siege of the embattled city continues with unknown numbers of migrants still overrunning the area. While Morocco, which allowed the invasion to protest Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez’s recent visit to rival Algeria, is no longer allowing further invasions, many thousands of migrants were left behind.
PM Sanchez, whose plan to legalize over half a million illegal migrants was one of the triggers for the invasion, had promised that all of the migrants would be returned, but viral videos of protests and overrun beaches have made it clear that huge numbers of migrants remain.
According to the El Pais newspaper, “There were 2,000 people on the Trampolín beach alone. To that figure, we must add the impromptu headcount conducted by local residents of minors, over 4,000. Then there are all the people hiding in the hills, and those who have taken refuge in the homes of Moroccan relatives in Ceuta. Based on this, we arrived at a rather revealing estimate: we are talking about a minimum of 8,000 people.” Some local sources however, estimate even larger numbers of migrants… some of whom have even reached Spain proper.
Interviews with local people describe an atmosphere of fear with empty stores and people, especially young women and the elderly, trapped in their homes for fear of being attacked.

The Economic Collapse
By Michael Snyder: We all knew that this was coming. For ages, people like me have been ranting that we would be facing a financial nightmare if we didn’t get the national debt under control. Of course most of the population didn’t want to listen, and they just kept sending big spenders back to Washington. Now we are 40 trillion dollars in debt and we are spending well over a trillion dollars a year just in interest on that debt. Nobody can deny that we have reached a stage where our debt spiral is totally out of control. The federal budget deficit for the month of July was 432 billion dollars. Interest on the national debt for the month of July was 118 billion dollars. Now Treasury yields are spiking as investors become hesitant to buy more of our debt. Borrowing costs are rising to very alarming levels, and we are in far more trouble than most people realize.
The size of the national debt officially crossed the 40 trillion dollar threshold on Tuesday.
