A new documentary is rolling out this October that will make patriots sit up and take notice: Dinesh D’Souza has turned Jonathan Cahn’s international bestseller into a film, The Dragon’s Prophecy, which opens in select theaters in early October and streams on SalemNOW starting October 9, 2025. The project is being promoted as more than a movie — it’s billed as an urgent, faith-driven investigation into whether recent horrors in Israel are the echo of ancient prophetic battles.
The film’s central claim is straightforward and serious: the October 7 attacks are not merely geopolitical violence but a prophetic echo of ancient clashes between Israel and the Philistines, and they may fit the patterns described in Scripture and Revelation. That’s the argument Cahn and D’Souza are pushing hard, and conservative Christian outlets are already amplifying it as a prophetic wake-up call for the West.
Rabbi Cahn doesn’t hide his methodology — he reads language, dates, symbols, and even the Hebrew root words as part of a larger prophetic pattern. He points out that the Hebrew word chamas — the same root that English speakers will recognize in the modern name Hamas — literally means violence in the Bible, and he sees chilling correspondences between ancient terms and today’s enemies. Those connections are controversial, but they are not pulled from thin air; the Hebrew lexicons show the root חמס and Strong’s entry H2555 as the word translated in Scripture as violence.
D’Souza’s film brings that thesis to life with on-the-ground footage, interviews with prominent pro-Israel voices, and cinematic storytelling meant to rouse the American conscience. The Salem press release and the film’s own promotion make clear that this isn’t leftist punditry: it’s a conservative, faith-rooted case being made with former policymakers and public figures as witnesses — the kind of solid coalition we need when the media class is either silent or openly hostile to Israel.
That said, reasonable skeptics exist and they deserve to be heard: critics of Cahn’s earlier work have argued that his method is allegorical and subjective, and many mainstream scholars caution against reading modern political actors directly into ancient prophecy. Those critiques don’t silence the film’s warnings, but they should remind viewers to think critically even while they pray and stand with Israel.
None of this changes the moral truth: Hamas murdered innocents, and Western elites who excuse or minimize that slaughter have betrayed both decency and our Judeo-Christian foundations. The Dragon’s Prophecy dares to connect spiritual realities to geopolitical consequences, and for every hardworking American who still believes in truth, faith, and freedom, this film is a call to wake up, to stand with Israel, and to demand that our leaders stop pretending that ideology can replace courage.
