How Ancient Signs Explain Today’s Headlines: A Powerful Tool for Christian Families (w/ Jonathan Cahn) - Ep. 149


Listen Later

What if a 2,700-year-old prophecy could explain the chaos in America today—and offer your family a roadmap to understand our times?

If you’ve ever wondered whether Scripture speaks to the headlines—or how to make biblical prophecy compelling and relatable for the next generation—this episode is for you.

Catherine welcomes back internationally acclaimed best-selling author and prophetic voice Jonathan Cahn for a powerful conversation that bridges ancient truth with modern turmoil. Known by many as one of the most influential Christian leaders of our time, Jonathan returns to discuss the reimagining of his groundbreaking book The Harbinger—a New York Times bestseller for over 100 weeks—now released as a stunning, fully illustrated graphic novel designed to captivate a new generation.

Together, Catherine and Jonathan explore why biblical prophecy isn’t just a theological niche—it’s a vital tool for apologetics and a faith-building resource for parents and teens alike. With clarity and conviction, Jonathan unveils the uncanny and often chilling ways that the prophetic patterns of ancient Israel are unfolding in America today.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • The shocking biblical parallels between Israel’s fall and America’s spiritual decline
  • How prophecy can transform your family’s faith and spark meaningful dialogue with your teens
  • Why modern-day prophetic fulfillment serves as a powerful and often overlooked defense of the Christian faith

Jonathan shares how specific warnings from Scripture—originally spoken to ancient Israel—are now echoing in America through real-world events, political acts, and public declarations. These harbingers manifest in physical objects and moments of national significance—often through leaders who are unaware they are echoing the voice of God.

From the fallen sycamore tree at Ground Zero to prophetic utterances on Capitol Hill, this conversation builds a compelling case for the supernatural accuracy of God’s Word.

Don’t miss these unforgettable moments:

  • Jonathan’s miraculous journey from never having written a book to penning The Harbinger, and the prophetic confirmations that guided him
  • The jaw-dropping fact that Isaiah 9:10—the very verse warning of judgment—was the daily reading in the One Year Bible on September 11th… sixteen years before 9/11
  • A powerful discussion about America’s current “window of opportunity” for revival—and how humility, repentance, and prayer are key to changing the course of our nation

Jonathan delivers a sobering reminder:

“If we change the laws but don’t change the people, the unchanged people will change the laws back… The only thing that can save America is repentance and revival.”

And Catherine challenges parents to respond with faith, not fear:

“The signs of the times are not a cause to be afraid, but a call to return.”

As you listen, ask yourself:
What might God be saying to your family through the shaking of our times?
How can you use prophecy—not only to defend your faith—but to plant seeds of unshakable hope in your children’s hearts?
