Why All Eyes Are on Israel—The Dragon’s Prophecy Holds the Key (w/ Dinesh D'Souza) - Ep. 164


Listen Later

Why is the world obsessively fixated on a tiny nation in the Middle East, and what does it mean for Christian parents raising the next generation?

In this riveting episode, Catherine asks one of the most urgent questions of our time: What is happening in Israel—and how does it connect to ancient prophecy and our daily parenting? To help answer, she welcomes acclaimed author, filmmaker, and Christian apologist Dinesh D'Souza, whose new documentary, The Dragon’s Prophecy, is based on Jonathan Cahn’s bestselling book and brings biblical prophecy and current events to vivid life.

Dinesh D'Souza, whose career spans best-selling novels, blockbuster documentaries, and service in the Reagan White House, brings unparalleled insight to the intersection of faith, history, and politics. In this episode, he unpacks why Israel sits at the center of an ancient spiritual war, why Revelation 12 holds the key to understanding headlines today, and how the battle between good and evil is not just on distant soil—but in every soul.

Key highlights include:

  • The chilling reality of October 7, 2023, and never-before-seen footage that reveals the spiritual darkness behind terrorist acts.
  • The core message of The Dragon’s Prophecy: Evil is real, embodied in the biblical “dragon”—and parents must recognize the spiritual war behind the chaos.
  • How ancient battles between Israelites and Philistines eerily parallel today’s conflict, and why biblical prophecy continues to unfold before our eyes.
  • The power of biblical archaeology in verifying the historical accuracy of Scripture—from Pontius Pilate’s existence to the discovery of King David’s palace—arming parents and skeptics alike with facts to defend their faith.
  • Tough questions about modern Israel, replacement theology, and the promises God made to Abraham’s descendants, with thoughtful discussion on both biblical and political identity.

Notable moment:

  • “There is a world behind the world and...the events we see are incomplete if we don’t understand them as part of a cosmic struggle between good and evil.” –Dinesh D'Souza

As Christian parents, we’re called not just to read the news, but to “discern the moment” (1 Chronicles 12:32)—guiding our children with faith, courage, and wisdom in a time of spiritual war.

Don’t miss this eye-opening episode—and consider: How will you prepare your kids not just to survive, but to lead in the times to come?
