(146) Is This the Biblical End Times War?

Pesach and Doug dive into a special election episode the day after Donald Trump won the presidency for the 2nd time. Despite all the odds, the mainstream media, Democrats swapping candidates, legal action against him, and assasination attempts, he won both the electoral college and the popular vote. Pesach and Doug examine the data and what they see and anticipate from the Christian and Jewish communities. This election represents a seismic shift in the American political landscape and has ramifications far and wide; don't miss Doug and Pesach's unique take on what it means for people of faith across America.

Pesach and Doug have the honor of speaking with Sami Steigmann, a survivor of the Holocaust. Sami’s journey is quite unlike many other survivor stories; he was an infant during World War II, and has no direct memories of his time in the concentration camp. He recounts the personal history that he has been able to piece together over the years, shares his opinions on the state of the world today, and outlines the lessons that he has learned and which he tries to impart to a world that is too eager to forget.

Pesach and Doug sit down with Middle East Analyst Dr. David Wurmser, who served as a senior advisor in both the Bush and Trump administrations, to discuss Israel, Iran, the USA, the Abraham Accords, and the future of the Middle East.

Listen to this conversation as Doug, his wife (Sam), his mom (Sueann), and his 4 children (Charlotte, Graham, Benjamin, and Abraham) unpack their Israel experience on their last night in Israel. Sitting around the table in the air BnB in Tel Aviv they discuss some of their favorite moments, favorite foods, as well as answer some questions like, did you feel safe? What was up with all the cats? How were your baptisms? And will you be coming back to Israel again?

Pesach and Doug sit down with Stephen & Veronica Jenks in person in Jerusalem. Stephen and Veronica recount the Jewish-Christian relationship from their vantage point with Eagles Wings, and the dynamic shift that has taken since October 7th. Veronica toured the carnage and results of the terrorist attack a year later at a kibbutz, the nova festival, as well as the burnt out cars on the sides of the road. She gives first hand account of her time there on this trip to Israel. And the four discuss the theological implications of this trip, and the ways that the Jewish-Christian story may be entering a new era.

After Doug gets the inside scoop on Pesach’s recent tour of the U.S., Elliot Chodoff joins us to break down everything happening in Israel's war against Hezbollah. The situation is fluid and there is a huge amount of disinformation; this is an opportunity to get authentic information and deep analysis from a true Israeli military expert. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!

Doug sits down with his wife and kids as they are two weeks away from joining almost 100 pilgrims for Eagles Wings Solidarity Tour to Israel. This is the kids' first big international trip and comes at a crucial time in Israel’s history. Doug asks them a series of questions and they answer honestly around the dining room table. Listen in and find out if they are excited or nervous, what they are hoping to see, what they're planning to eat, and what they're looking forward to doing in the Holy Land. It's a beautiful and loving conversation that you don't want to miss.

Pesach and Doug sit down with Asher Guedalia, as he shares the story of his brother Yosef’s heroism on October 7th. Just hours after Hamas rockets were launched and terrorists began infiltrating Israel on that fateful day, Yosef responded like so many reservists by reporting to his unit. He and his fellow soldiers rushed to one of the kibbutzim along the Gazan border to eliminate the terrorists and defend the innocent civilians. It was there that he gave his life for his country. Join us as we honor this hero by listening to his story.

Pesach and Doug sit down with the former United States Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, and get his thoughts about Israel, the future of the Abraham accords, and the role of scripture in geopolitics. He also talks about his just-released book, One Jewish State: The Last, Best Hope to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, and the importance of thinking outside our conventional boxes to find a solution to the seemingly endless Israel-Arab disputes. Crucially, Ambassador Friedman points out that these ideas are not novel or original, but actually are expressed by God in the Bible. Don't miss this conversation with a thinker whom Ben Shapiro called, "the single most important American-Jewish voice on Israel since Louis Brandeis."

Doug and Pesach host Rabbi Elie Mischel of Israel365, author of the new book "The War Against the Bible," where he explains that the current alliance between the atheist Left and Jihadist Islam is actually a fulfilment of Biblical prophecy. Who is Esau in the book of Obadiah? How does Daniel's vision describe what we see in the headlines? Rabbi Mischel has some potential answers.  ALSO: Elliot Chodoff joins us to break down the recent attempted attack on Israel by Hezbollah, which Israel pre-empted.
