This is The Confederation Report, a weekly analysis of Canadian news and culture from a Biblical worldview.

Part I: Israel, the Gaza Strip, and Iran (0:05-6:25)
Amid escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, Canada has witnessed a surge of pro-Palestinian protests marked by troubling rhetoric, prompting deeper questions about national identity, global alliances, and the muted response of media.
Part II: Is Israel still “God's people”? (6:29-9:47)
While the Israel-Iran war has reignited dispensationalist end-times speculation, Scripture makes clear—from Jesus’ parable in Matthew 21:33–41—that national Israel is no longer God’s covenant people, for the Kingdom has been given to a new people: the church, composed of all who trust in Christ.

Part III: The Unorthodoxy of Dispensationalism (9:51-13:30)
Dispensationalism is an unorthodox theological system that separates Israel and the Church into two peoples of God, distorts biblical prophecy through hyper-literalism, and introduces speculative doctrines foreign to historic Christian teaching.

Did You Know? (12:20-13:27)
In March 2012, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu found a strong ally in Canada’s Stephen Harper as they presented a united front against Iran’s nuclear ambitions, setting the stage for more delicate negotiations with U.S. President Obama over the urgency of potential military action.

Recommended Reading (13:28-14:02)
This week’s recommended resource is Israel and the Palestinians by Dr. Willem J. Ouweneel—an insightful, timely read offering valuable biblical perspective on the Middle East conflict.
