Synopsis: Worldwide news from a Christian perspective. That’s what you’ll get each week when you review Crosstalk’s Friday News Round-Up & Comment. Here’s a sample of what host Dalton Windsor, sitting in for Jim Schneider, presented this week:
• Republican Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has halted executions through the rest of the year after officials failed to successfully administer two separate doses of the lethal injection to Christa Gail Pike.
• An Indian airline captain, who was at the controls of his airliner, was stabbed by his co-pilot in an apparent attempt to crash the plane. Although he was seriously injured, he still managed to open the cockpit door allowing passengers to enter and restrain the attacking co-pilot as the Boeing 737 was descending sharply. The flight was carrying people from Dubai, United Arab Emirates to Tel Aviv, Israel.
• A dual Iranian/British citizen was arrested by counter-terrorism police in Britain in the wake of an allegedly foiled plot to attack a U.S. air base on British soil last weekend.
• Iranian officials and state media said that the U.S. had responded to Tehran’s recent proposal for a 7 day cease-fire and the phased re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz with a counter proposal that the government is now considering.
• The oil is flowing in the Persian Gulf even as Iran is choking on fumes. Oil exports from the region have rebounded to 72% of pre-war levels and crude flow through the Strait of Hormuz is a little under half of what it was before the war, according to analysts.
• The Iranian foreign minister said Tehran will not back down on the terms of a 7 day cease-fire, “even if it comes to a doomsday war.”

Now The End Begins
Israeli Company Steakholder Foods Launches Their Perfecta Line Of ‘Premium Plant Meat’ To Help Bring Bill Gates Dystopian Vison Of Frankenfood To Life
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
Five Years After Bill Gates Called For 100% Synthetic Beef, Israeli Company Steakholder Foods Is Bringing Its Dystopian Menu Of Frankenfood To American Grocery Store Shelves
Back in 2021, we showed you Bill Gates’s vision for your dinner table, now look at what is arriving in the grocery aisle. Gates told MIT Technology Review, “I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef,” and spoke of using regulation to forcibly shift the demand. We reported those words on February 16, 2021. Five years later, Israeli company Steakholder Foods says its Perfecta products have reached retail shelves across the northeastern United States through KeHE Distributors. The menu includes plant-based marbled steak, filet mignon, chicken breast, salmon patties, and white fish patties. An entire imitation dinner menu, packaged and ready to come home in your shopping cart. Of course, NTEB has been warning you about this for years, and how it’s all tied in with UN Agenda 2030.
Take a good look at that photograph at the top of this article. Notice the browned surface, the apparent meat fibers, the marbling—all the familiar signals that tell your eyes you are looking at steak. But you’re not. Steakholder’s printing technology recreates those structures using formulated ingredients. The company promises the “authentic experience” of eating a whole cut of meat. There is something deeply dystopian about that phrase, authenticity becoming an experience a machine can manufacture. Put it beside artificial intelligence, cloned voices, and computer-generated people, and consider how much of ordinary life we are becoming willing to reconstruct.
Even the family dinner table is becoming a marketplace for convincing substitutes. The packaging makes the change look comfortable, normal and almost inviting, and that’s precisely what makes it so creepy and unnerving. We are living in a fake AI world that’s waiting for a counterfeit messiah to come along. Thank God for the Rapture!

British Airline Pilot On Dubai Terror Attack: “The Motive Is That Islam Calls For The Death Of Jews”
By Pamela Geller: Pilot and Aviation expert Captain Byron Bailey tells the TRUTH, that so little people are courageous enough to discuss live on air.
It shouldn’t even be deemed courageous to state facts.
The motive is clear to anyone with a brain.

As Anti-Christian Sentiment Grows Across The West, The Struggle Of The Church In Communist China Presents A Warning
By Ken Ham: Most Christians are aware of the struggle the church in Communist China has had with the government of that country. They have suffered from years of intense persecution and the limited ability to legally evangelize, gather to worship, or even teach their own children about Christ.
This increased further in 2019 when the Chinese government announced it would more strictly enforce a law that “prohibits religious groups from proselytizing or converting anyone under the age of 18”—including Christians’ own children.
Chinese Christians can’t legally host Sunday school classes, bring their children to church, or teach their own children their Christian faith. Teachers can’t share their faith, and religious materials can’t be used as textbooks. Those who break the law can face fines or other consequences.
While this should sadden us and remind us to keep our Chinese brothers and sisters in prayer, it shouldn’t surprise us. Persecution has been the norm since the beginning of the church (just read the book of Acts!). Jesus told us to expect persecution, and that’s certainly what we’ve seen around the world throughout church history.

67 Minutes To Blame The Jews:
The Flydubai Incident And The Online Mob
The Flydubai Incident And The Online Mob
By PNW Staff: I went looking through social media after the flydubai incident with a fairly simple question: what really happened?
It didn't take long before I discovered something almost as disturbing as the conspiracy theories themselves.
I looked at one post blaming Israel. Then another. Before long, the algorithms apparently figured out what had captured my attention. My feed began filling with accusations that Israel was behind the incident, that Mossad was involved, that it was a "false flag," that the entire thing had somehow been staged.
And underneath those posts were thousands upon thousands of comments.
People weren't simply asking questions. Many had already reached their conclusions. They were agreeing with one another, supplying additional theories and offering supposedly obvious reasons why the official story couldn't possibly be true.
This was one person's social-media feed after briefly exploring the subject.
Imagine that process multiplied across millions of phones.
It provides a disturbing glimpse into how conspiracy theories can explode across the internet today—and how an ancient habit of blaming Jews for the world's problems has been given a distribution system unlike anything previous generations possessed.
The Mob Has Found Its Answer
The latest example came after the September 30 incident involving an Israel-bound flydubai aircraft.
Whatever investigators ultimately establish about precisely what happened, something remarkable was occurring online almost immediately.
According to the Combat Antisemitism Movement's Antisemitism Research Center, researchers identified 2,963 posts on X during a 12-hour monitoring period that attributed the incident to Israel, Mossad, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Zionists or Jews.
The first such accusation appeared just 67 minutes after the aircraft transmitted its initial distress signal.
Think about that.
Sixty-seven minutes.

Rabbi Presents Netanyahu With Am K’lavi Scroll: “We Are Writing The Next Chapters Of The Bible And The IDF Are The Soldiers Of The King Messiah”
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz: Before his students leave the study hall for the battlefield, Rabbi Dani Lavi gives them the same charge.
“You are the fulfillment of the dream of the generations,” he tells them. “For thousands of years, two thousand years, we had no state, we had no independence, we had no ability to defend ourselves. You are the soldiers of King David, of the King Messiah. You have the privilege of writing the chapters of the Bible yourselves. Everything you read about is now being fulfilled through you. You are bringing the people of Israel to its next stage, which is, a few more steps from now, what is called the complete redemption.”
Rabbi Lavi heads the Olamot (Worlds) Institute and teaches at the hesder yeshiva in Elon Moreh in Samaria, a program in which young men combine intensive Torah study with service in IDF combat units.
Rabbi Lavi recently carried that same conviction into the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem. He presented Benjamin Netanyahu with The Book of the Rising Lion, a megillah (scroll) composed in the style of the Hebrew Bible that chronicles Israel’s war against Iran, written as though the Bible’s historical books had never stopped being written.

Through The Lens
The False Church Is Hiding In Plain Sight
Synopsis: What if the false church isn’t merely coming someday, but is already hiding in plain sight?
Revelation 13 warns that the False Prophet will use spiritual deception to lead the world toward a unified system of worship. In this episode of Through the Lens, Pastor Curt Reed examines what he believes are the foundations of that system already taking shape around us.
From global interfaith movements and churches abandoning essential biblical doctrine to AI-driven spirituality and popular Christian voices redefining truth, how can believers distinguish genuine faith in Jesus Christ from something that merely carries the Christian label?
