THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: The Faithfulness Of God In Every Dispensation

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Great Is Thy Faithfulness: From The Garden To The Kingdom, God Has Never Failed His Word, His Promises, Or His People

The faithfulness of God is one of the great golden threads that runs unbroken from Genesis to Revelation. Man changes, nations rise and fall, kings make promises they cannot keep, and generations pass away like grass in the field, but God remains exactly who He said He is. When Adam fell, God was faithful. When Noah stood alone in a wicked world, God was faithful. When Abraham looked for a city whose builder and maker is God, God was faithful. When Israel wandered, rebelled, murmured, sinned, and went into captivity, God was still faithful. His compassions failed not then, and they do not fail now. My message for this Memorial Day Sunday Service is “The Faithfulness Of God In Every Dispensation”.

“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22,23 (KJB)

That is why Jeremiah could look out over the ruins of Jerusalem and still say, “great is thy faithfulness.” He was not speaking from a place of ease, comfort, or outward victory; he was standing in the ashes of judgment and declaring that God had not changed. The faithfulness of God is not proven only when the sun is shining, the bills are paid, and the blessings are obvious. It is proven in the furnace, in the wilderness, in the storm, and at the graveside. From the garden to the cross, from the empty tomb to the coming kingdom, God has never failed His word, never forgotten His people, and never once been late in keeping His promises.

SUNDAY SERVICE STUDY NOTES: The Faithfulness Of God In Every Dispensation

The Faithfulness Of God In Every Dispensation

“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22,23 (KJB)

From the fall of man in Genesis to the final triumph of Jesus Christ in Revelation, the Bible reveals one unbroken truth: God is faithful. Man fails in every dispensation, but God never fails. His word stands, His promises remain, His covenants are sure, His judgments are righteous, and His mercy is everlasting. Today I want to show you the faithfulness of God in every dispensation.

“For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” 2 Timothy 1:12 (KJB)

Faithfulness:

Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.” Psalm 119:90 (KJB)

I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.” Hosea 2:20 (KJB)

I. God Was Faithful In Innocence — Genesis

Main Text

“And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Genesis 2:16 (KJB)

“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Genesis 3:15 (KJB)

In the first dispensation, man failed under the simplest possible command. Adam fell, sin entered, and death passed upon all men. Yet God was faithful. Before Adam and Eve ever left the garden, God gave the first prophecy of the coming Redeemer.

Application

When man ruined everything, God immediately revealed that He had a plan of redemption. The faithfulness of God did not begin after man got better; it appeared when man was fallen, guilty, and hiding.

“Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.” Genesis 3:21 (KJB)

Closing Challenge

Trust the God who promised a Saviour before man ever knew how to ask for one.

II. God Was Faithful In Conscience — From Adam To Noah

Main Text

“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Genesis 6:5 (KJB)

“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” Genesis 6:8 (KJB)

“Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.” Genesis 6:22 (KJB)

From the fall to the flood, man lived under conscience, and conscience did not save him. Violence filled the earth, corruption spread, and judgment came. But God was faithful to preserve a righteous remnant through Noah.

Application

God’s faithfulness does not mean He overlooks sin. It means He always does exactly what He said He would do — in judgment and in mercy.

Closing Challenge

Be found like Noah: believing God, obeying God, and standing apart from a condemned world.

III. God Was Faithful In Human Government — Noah To Babel

Main Text

“Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.” Genesis 9:6 (KJB)

“And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:” Genesis 9:12 (KJB)

“And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.” Genesis 11:1 (KJB)

After the flood, God established human government and gave man authority to restrain evil. But man gathered at Babel in rebellion, seeking unity without God. Once again, man failed. Once again, God was faithful.

Application

God is faithful to restrain man’s rebellion, even when man uses unity, technology, and ambition against Him.

Closing Challenge

Do not be impressed by the world’s towers. God still comes down, God still judges, and God still rules.

IV. God Was Faithful In Promise — Abraham, Isaac, And Jacob

Main Text

“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:” And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 12:1-3 (KJB)

“And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.” Genesis 15:6 (KJB)

God called Abraham and made promises concerning a land, a seed, a nation, and blessing to all families of the earth. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had failures, but God remained faithful to His covenant.

Application

God’s promises do not rest upon man’s perfection but upon God’s own faithfulness.

Closing Challenge

Believe God as Abraham believed God. Faith takes God at His word before it sees the fulfillment.

V. God Was Faithful Under The Law — Moses To Christ

Main Text

“Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;” Deuteronomy 7:9 (KJB)

“The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.” Numbers 14:18 (KJB)

“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness” Lamentations 3:22,23 (KJB)

Under the Law, Israel repeatedly failed. They murmured in the wilderness, demanded a king, worshipped idols, rejected the prophets, and went into captivity. Yet God remained faithful to His covenant promises, faithful in chastisement, faithful in mercy, and faithful to preserve Israel.

Application

God’s faithfulness is not sentimental. He is faithful to bless obedience, faithful to chasten disobedience, and faithful to keep His word even when His people are unfaithful.

Closing Challenge

Do not mistake chastening for abandonment. The God who corrects His people is the God who keeps His covenant.

VI. God Was Faithful In The Coming Of Christ

Main Text

“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” Micah 5:2 (KJB)

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” Matthew 1:23 (KJB)

“But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” Galatians 4:4,5 (KJB)

God was faithful to every prophecy concerning the first coming of Jesus Christ. The seed of the woman came. The son of Abraham came. The son of David came. The virgin-born Saviour came. God kept His word exactly.

Application

The first coming of Christ proves that God does not forget prophecy, delay prophecy without purpose, or fulfill prophecy vaguely. He fulfills it literally, perfectly, and on time.

Closing Challenge

If God was faithful to send Christ the first time, He will be faithful to send Him the second time.

VII. God Is Faithful In The Dispensation Of Grace

Main Text

“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:9 (KJB)

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJB)

“Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:24 (KJB)

“If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.” 2 Timothy 2:13 (KJB)

In this present dispensation, God is calling out the body of Christ by the gospel of the grace of God. The believer is saved by grace through faith, sealed by the Spirit, kept by the power of God, and promised a heavenly calling in Christ.

Application

Our assurance rests not in the strength of our grip on God, but in the faithfulness of the God who saved us, sealed us, and promised to finish what He began.

Closing Challenge

Stop measuring God’s faithfulness by your feelings. Measure it by the cross, the empty tomb, and the written word of God.

VIII. God Will Be Faithful In The Time Of Jacob’s Trouble

Main Text

“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7 (KJB)

“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:” Romans 11:26 (KJB)

“For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.” Romans 11:27 (KJB)

Truth

After the Church is caught up, God will resume His prophetic dealings with Israel. The time of Jacob’s trouble will be terrible, but God will be faithful to purify, preserve, and restore His covenant people.

Application

God has not replaced Israel, forgotten Israel, or broken His promises to Israel. The same faithful God who called Abraham will keep every promise He made to Abraham’s seed.

Closing Challenge

Rightly divide the word of truth. Do not steal Israel’s promises, and do not miss the faithfulness of God in keeping them.

IX. God Will Be Faithful At The Second Coming

Main Text

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.” Revelation 19:11 (KJB)

“And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” Revelation 19:16 (KJB)

Truth

When Jesus Christ returns, He comes not as the suffering Lamb but as the conquering King. His very name in Revelation 19 is Faithful and True. He will judge, make war, overthrow Antichrist, and establish His righteous rule.

Application

The faithfulness of God is not only comfort for the saint; it is terror to the rebel. Every warning will come to pass just as surely as every promise.

Closing Challenge

Be on the right side of the Faithful and True. The next great event for this world is not revival, reformation, or global peace — it is the return of the King.

X. God Will Be Faithful In The Kingdom And Eternity

Main Text

“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” Revelation 11:15 (KJB)

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.” Revelation 21:1 (KJB)

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:4 (KJB)

“And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.” Revelation 21:5 (KJB)

God’s faithfulness carries history all the way to its appointed end. The kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of Christ. Sin will be judged. Satan will be cast into the lake of fire. Death will be destroyed. God will make all things new.

Application

The believer’s hope is not wishful thinking. It is anchored in the faithful word of the faithful God.

Closing Challenge

Live now in light of the ending God has already written.

FRANK JENNER stood on a streetcorner in Australia for 40 years, asking people one simple question. “If YOU were to die tonight, would you go to Heaven or Hell”?

The circumstances of the Second World War – particularly the horrific images of Japan after the atomic bombs – so heightened Jenner’s sense of urgency that he felt it necessary to confront others directly about their standing before God. Not that this came easily: Jenner struggled to overcome a gambling habit acquired as a sailor, and he suffered persistent health problems throughout his life. He was so aware of his weakness that before each encounter on George Street he silently prayed: “I can do all things through him who gives me strength”. He first coined his now-famous question in 1937, and over the years probably asked nearly 100,000 people.

Final Application

From Genesis to Revelation, every dispensation proves two things: man fails, and God is faithful. Innocence failed. Conscience failed. Human government failed. Promise revealed man’s weakness. The Law exposed sin. Israel stumbled. The nations rebelled. The Church age is filled with apostasy. The Tribulation will reveal man’s final rebellion against God.

But God remains faithful.

He was faithful in the garden.
He was faithful at the flood.
He was faithful to Abraham.
He was faithful to Israel.
He was faithful at Calvary.
He is faithful to the body of Christ.
He will be faithful in the time of Jacob’s trouble.
He will be faithful at the Second Advent.
He will be faithful in the kingdom.
He will be faithful in eternity.

Closing Challenge

Build your life on the faithfulness of God, not the instability of man.

“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)” Hebrews 10:23 (KJB)

Eisenhower Warned Us About The Military-Industrial Complex, Now ‘President Of War’ Donald Trump Is Building One Beneath The White House Ballroom

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

From People’s House To Presidential Fortress As Trump Builds A Nuclear-Hardened Military Complex Beneath His Golden Ballroom

Donald Trump has spent years promoting himself as the great peacemaker, the man who would end wars and prevent World War III. Yet his most permanent architectural contribution to the American presidency is not a peace garden, a diplomatic center or a hall dedicated to reconciliation—it is a five-story military fortress buried beneath the White House. What began as a lavish ballroom with chandeliers, gold columns and thousand-seat state dinners is now being defended before the Supreme Court as an “integrated military complex” essential to surviving bombs, missiles, drones and even nuclear attack. The symbolism could not be more devastating: Trump talks like the president of peace, but he is rebuilding the People’s House for war. The Wall Street Journal reports that the Supreme Court has temporarily allowed construction to continue while considering the administration’s emergency appeal.

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Revelation 6:15-17 (KJB)

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a five-star general who understood war better than almost any president before or since, warned America in 1961 about the dangerous rise of the military-industrial complex. He cautioned that the combination of government power, military machinery and private industry could acquire “unwarranted influence” and endanger both liberty and democratic government. Sixty-five years later, Trump is constructing a literal military complex beside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Private corporations and wealthy elite donors finance the glittering ballroom above, while the government and military build the hardened command fortress below. Eisenhower’s warning is no longer merely hanging over Washington—it is being poured into the ground in nuclear-grade concrete.

The administration’s own Supreme Court filing removes all doubt about the true character of this structure. It describes five underground stories containing bomb shelters, military command-and-control capabilities, secure communications, emergency hospital facilities, missile-resistant columns, blast-proof glass, military-grade ventilation, sniper positions and a rooftop drone port. Above ground, visiting dignitaries will dine beneath crystal chandeliers; below their feet, military personnel will monitor tactical screens behind blast doors. The ballroom is the façade, but the bunker is the beating heart of his project.

This is the presidency Trump is physically preparing for: permanent threats, expanding militarization and catastrophic warfare. A true president of peace would be measured by the wars he ended and the bloodshed he prevented—not by the magnificence of the bunker he constructed for himself and future rulers. Trump may continue to speak the language of peace, but concrete tells the truth. Missiles, drones, bomb shelters, sniper nests and nuclear protection are not the architecture of a coming golden age. They are the architecture of a government expecting the world to burn. Donald Trump calls himself the president of peace, but his Military-Industrial Complex Ballroom reveals a president preparing for war.

Trump Is Fulfilling Eisenhower’s Warning Of The Military Industrial Complex

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: As Ben-Gvir Builds His Gallows, We Ask Are Israel’s Own Rulers Helping Make Jerusalem The ‘Burdensome Stone’ To The World?

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

THE WHOLE WORLD AGAINST JERUSALEM: Could The Actions Of Israel’s Own Leaders Be Helping Fulfill The End Times Conditions Foretold By The Prophets?

Isaiah’s warning is not merely some distant prophetic curiosity — we are watching the pattern unfold right now. The prophet Isaiah speaks of  “scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem”, and today Israel is being led by men whose rhetoric, policies and public displays are helping turn the nations against the Jewish state. Ben-Gvir standing before newly constructed gallows, boasting about executions and viewing booths, is not simply another controversial political moment; it is exactly the kind of spectacle that hardens global opinion, isolates Jerusalem and gives Israel’s enemies fresh ammunition. The world is already increasingly hostile toward Israel, and instead of slowing that momentum, some of Israel’s own rulers are actively pouring gasoline on the fire. The “scornful men” are ruling Jerusalem, and they are helping create the very conditions the prophets said would exist in the last days.

“Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.” Isaiah 28:14 (KJB)

And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast,  Zechariah said Jerusalem would become “a burdensome stone for all people” and that eventually “all the people of the earth” would be gathered against it (Zechariah 12:3 KJB). That prophecy does not require Israel to be innocent of every wrong action; in fact, Scripture repeatedly shows Israel in rebellion and under corrupt leadership immediately before divine intervention. What we are witnessing now is the process taking shape: outrage, condemnation, diplomatic isolation, growing hostility, and leaders in Jerusalem whose own actions are accelerating the collapse of international sympathy. Ben-Gvir’s gallows are not happening in a vacuum — they are part of a larger prophetic trajectory in which Jerusalem becomes increasingly unbearable to the nations. The road to Zechariah 12 is being built in real time, and astonishingly, some of the men ruling Jerusalem are helping pave it themselves. Today we do a Bible Study ripped from the headlines to show you just how close the Jews and Israel are to the time of Jacob’s trouble!

Israel Is Building A Gallows Execution Complex For Convicted Palestinian Terrorists, And Security Minister Ben-Gvir Wants To Add Viewing Booths For Spectators

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

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.

“Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.” Isaiah 28:14 (KJB)

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.

“Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.” Genesis 9:6 (KJB)

Under Paul’s doctrine for the Church Age, the God-given authority of civil government to punish evildoers remains equally plain. Paul did not describe government as carrying an ornamental sword or an empty symbol of authority. He said the ruler “beareth not the sword in vain,” and identified the magistrate as a minister of God authorized to execute wrath upon the person who does evil.

“For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.” Romans 13:4 (KJB)

There is therefore nothing unbiblical about saying that a murderer deserves death, and there is nothing unbiblical about Israel severely punishing terrorists who intentionally slaughter innocent people. After the barbarity of October 7, 2023, no reasonable person should have difficulty understanding the fury felt by Israelis who buried husbands, wives, children, parents and friends because terrorists deliberately invaded their communities to murder, rape, kidnap and terrorize. Israel has every right to protect its citizens, pursue terrorists and administer punishment against men convicted of intentionally murdering innocent people. Justice matters because human life matters. Punishment matters because God has ordained civil authority to restrain evil in a fallen world. But biblical justice and the enjoyment of vengeance are not the same thing, and that is precisely where the proposed viewing booths raise a very serious moral question.

Justice Should Be Solemn, Not Theatrical

A government execution should be one of the most sober, and somber, things a state ever does. Even when the condemned person has committed atrocities beyond description, the execution represents the government exercising the ultimate earthly penalty against a human being whose life is about to end. It should therefore be approached with gravity, restraint and solemnity rather than with celebration, political showmanship or anything resembling entertainment.

That is why the idea of specially designed viewing booths is so troubling. Supporters can argue that allowing victims and bereaved relatives to witness an execution may provide some sense of closure, and similar arrangements exist in certain jurisdictions elsewhere in the world. But the deliberate incorporation and public promotion of victim viewing areas alongside gallows gives the entire project a character that goes beyond simply carrying out a lawful sentence. It begins to create an environment in which the death of the condemned becomes part of an emotional experience being offered to those who have suffered because of him.

The Bible warns directly about what happens in the human heart when an enemy falls.

“Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.” Proverbs 24:17,18 (KJB)

There is the biblical balance that modern politics so often loses. God judges wickedness, God authorizes government to punish evildoers, and God has never commanded His people to pretend that evil deserves no consequences. At the same time, God warns against allowing the heart to delight in the downfall of an enemy. Justice may demand that a murderer die, but righteousness does not require anyone to enjoy watching him die. That is where this entire project begins to feel macabre. The gallows themselves are severe but understandable within the framework of capital punishment. It is the decision to include viewing booths, and especially to highlight them publicly as part of the political presentation of the facility, that gives the impression that something more than justice is being cultivated.

Supporting Israel Does Not Mean Worshipping The Israeli Government

Christians desperately need to understand that biblical support for Israel does not mean unquestioning support for every decision made by the modern Israeli government. At Now The End Begins, we are unapologetically pro-Israel because the King James Bible is unapologetically pro-Israel. God gave the land to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Jewish people remain the earthly people God chose for His purposes. The Church has not replaced Israel, Jerusalem has not lost its prophetic significance, and the promises God made to the Jewish people have not somehow been transferred to Rome, London, Washington or the professing Christian Church.

But none of those biblical truths mean every Israeli politician is righteous, every Israeli policy is biblical, or every action of the Israeli government deserves Christian applause. Benjamin Netanyahu is not King David, Itamar Ben-Gvir is not Moses, and the modern Knesset is not governing the nation under the direct Old Testament theocracy of Jehovah God. Modern Israel is a secular Jewish state prophetically regathered in unbelief, standing precisely where Bible prophecy said the Jewish people would once again stand as we move deeper into the closing moments of the Church Age.

That means Bible believers should be capable of holding two truths at the same time. We can defend Israel against antisemitism, stand against the satanic hatred of the Jewish people, reject the lie of Replacement Theology, recognize Israel’s right to defend itself against Islamic terrorism and still condemn something done by the Israeli government when it crosses a moral line. In fact, genuine friendship sometimes requires precisely that kind of honesty. When Israel does right, we should support her. When Israel is falsely accused, we should defend her. When the world once again begins resurrecting its ancient hatred of the Jews, we should expose and oppose it. But when an Israeli politician proudly points to an execution complex containing gallows and talks about places where grieving people can watch their enemies hang, Bible believers should retain enough spiritual discernment to call that image what it is.

Terrorism Is Evil, But So Is Learning To Enjoy Death

This is one of the most dangerous ways evil spreads. Terrorists commit atrocities so horrifying that they provoke entirely understandable rage among their victims. That rage creates a demand for justice, but if the heart is not guarded, the desire for justice can slowly become the desire for vengeance, and the desire for vengeance can eventually become satisfaction in watching another person suffer. Hamas committed unspeakable atrocities against the Jewish people. Nothing said here diminishes that reality by even one degree. October 7 was evil, Hamas terrorism is evil, kidnapping civilians is evil, murdering children is evil, and intentionally slaughtering innocent people deserves severe punishment. Calling a viewing gallery at a gallows disturbing does not magically transform terrorists into victims or erase the crimes for which they have been convicted.

The question is not whether terrorists deserve punishment. The question is what happens to a society when punishment itself becomes something people are encouraged to watch as entertainment.

There is a deep moral difference between executing a murderer because justice demands it and designing the execution environment so those harmed by him can watch his body fall from a rope. One is an action undertaken by the state because law has pronounced judgment. The other risks turning vengeance into an experience. The Bible draws the distinction with remarkable clarity. Romans 12 commands the individual not to avenge himself, while Romans 13 immediately establishes the authority of government to punish wrongdoing. Those two chapters are not contradictory; together they establish the proper boundary between personal vengeance and civil justice.

“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Romans 12:19 (KJB)

The individual is told to leave vengeance with God, while the government is authorized to punish the evildoer. Government administers justice; individuals surrender vengeance to God. When a government begins constructing special viewing areas so victims can personally watch the execution of their enemies, those two categories begin moving dangerously close together. Perhaps some families believe witnessing an execution will give them closure. Perhaps some genuinely feel that watching the murderer die will finally provide peace after years of grief. I would never minimize the horror endured by families whose loved ones were butchered by terrorists. But closure does not ultimately come from a rope, and peace does not ultimately come from watching another human being stop breathing.

Israel Needs Justice, Not A Gallows Spectacle

Israel lives in a brutal neighborhood and faces enemies who openly desire her destruction. Terrorist organizations surrounding the Jewish state have repeatedly demonstrated that they are willing to murder Jewish men, women and children without mercy, and Israel therefore possesses both the right and the responsibility to defend its citizens. If duly constituted courts determine that terrorists convicted of intentional murder deserve death, there is nothing in the King James Bible requiring Christians to pretend that capital punishment itself is some great moral outrage.

But death should never become entertainment, execution should never become political theater, and the final punishment of a criminal should never be packaged as a spectacle from which people are invited to derive emotional satisfaction. The moment government begins promoting the opportunity to watch an enemy die, something has changed in the moral atmosphere surrounding justice. The imagery itself ought to trouble anyone capable of stepping outside the passions of the moment: a gallows, a hanging rope, viewing booths, spectators and politicians celebrating the construction of the facility. Whatever legal arguments may be advanced for each individual component, when assembled together they create an unmistakably grim picture.

Israel deserves justice against those who murder her people. Israel deserves security from terrorists who dream of wiping the Jewish state from the map. Israel deserves Christian friends who will stand beside the Jewish people when this lost and increasingly antisemitic world turns against them. But Israel does not need Christians who confuse biblical Zionism with unconditional approval of every politician in Jerusalem. Sometimes friendship means saying that something has gone too far. That is the line Israel must be exceedingly careful not to cross, and those of us who love Israel enough to defend her when the world lies about her should also love Israel enough to tell the truth when something is wrong. This is wrong, and we are saying something about it.
