Episode 139 - Through the Eyes of a Watchman (featuring William Koenig)
Helping Christians make sense of their roots. Helping the Jewish community make sense of Jesus. Together, we are restoring the Jewishness of the gospel.
From White House briefings to the streets of Jerusalem, William Koenig has seen prophecy and politics collide.
In this episode, he shares a front-row account of how world leaders unknowingly advance biblical timelines, the media’s war on Israel, and the spiritual battle shaping public opinion.
It’s a sweeping journey - spanning history, geopolitics, and the promises of God - that calls believers to watch, pray, and stand with Israel. Koenig’s perspective bridges the gap between breaking news and eternal truth, revealing patterns that echo the words of the prophets.
Whether you follow headlines or study Scripture, this conversation will equip you to see the times we’re living in with clarity and conviction.
