"It's time for an execution" = people are now expecting an execution
"my number is up" = it is my fate to be chosen for that execution
"they're pushing like hell" = they [the authorities] are making a strong effort to carry out the execution"
The other sentences are clear, and I don't think I can explain them in any simpler way.
