Biblical Context Under the Microscope
The Gary DeMar Podcast

How to Interpret the Bible (Part Two)
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Gary is interviewed about biblical hermeneutics (the art and science of interpretation). He continues his lesson with discussions about time statements and the book of Revelation.

NOTE: The host's audio is very bad and used very sparingly. Gary does most of the speaking.

How to Interpret the Bible (Part One)
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Gary is interviewed about biblical hermeneutics (the art and science of interpretation). He gives a quick lesson about how regular Christians can and should do it for themselves.

A Comedy of Prophetic Errors
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 14 Gary discusses the history of failed "end times" and "last days" predictions. While many have made bold claims about the future, they have all been proven wrong. These false prophets have a long, long history of failure, but it never seems to cause Christians to: 1) question these repeated claims, and 2) seek out a more consistently biblical hermeneutic.

Israel as the Fig Tree Under the Microscope
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 13 Gary discusses a popular interpretation by modern prophecy writers and pastors about Israel being the "fig tree" spoken of by Jesus in the NT. Usually, it is interpreted as Israel "becoming a nation again" in 1948. Unfortunately for them, the math, the biblical data, and Jesus' own words do not confirm this strained interpretation.

Billionaires, the Economy, and Abortion
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Two huge topics that defined the Harris/Walz platform were taxing rich people and the right to abortion. Gary points out how both of these are misrepresented to appeal to uninformed voters. Emotional appeals, even from Billy Graham's granddaughter, are used to divert people from the real truth of every matter. Get Gary's paper on The Bible and Abortion here:

Not to Vote is Still a Vote
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Many Christians are saying that they won't vote because neither candidate appeals to them. Not voting is still a vote, and these same Christians will have to live in the world that results from whichever candidate wins. Both political parties are using their constituents and this is a problem. Things need to be done, but ignoring the problem is not a viable solution.
