How to Talk to Dispensationalists 08/07/2026

How to Talk to Dispensationalists Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 103 Gary answers a question he often receives about having conversations with dispensationalists. It can almost feel like a language barrier, because they will hear the words of Scripture, but reinterpret them to mean something entirely different. Gary reveals a few questions that can be helpful in guiding the discussion. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/42349335

The Importance of Understanding History (Part Two) 08/05/2026

The Importance of Understanding History (Part Two) Gary concludes his talk on the importance of knowing our own history. America was founded on a presupposed Christian worldview and didn't need a lot of civil government oversight because most citizens were properly self-governed. This is no longer the case, and we must recapture an understanding of our Christian heritage in order to have hope and direction for the future. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/42325700

The Importance of Understanding History (Part One) 08/03/2026

The Importance of Understanding History (Part One) In a talk he gave recently, Gary discusses the importance of knowing where we've been (history) in order to see the way forward. America was founded on a presupposed Christian worldview and didn't need a lot of civil government oversight because most citizens were properly self-governed. This is no longer the case, and we must recapture an understanding of our Christian heritage. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/42293210

Do We Oppose God If We Defend Israel? 07/31/2026

Do We Oppose God If We Defend Israel? Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 102 Gary responds to a recent video by Pastor Jack Hibbs about the "expiration date of the United States." Claiming that Ezekiel 38-39 and Zechariah 14 are about what happens to Israel in our future, Hibbs makes an unbelievable leap in logic. Gary points out the actual context of these passages and the weapons that are being used to show it's not about our future or the USA. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/42271165

The (Sad) State of Education 07/29/2026

The (Sad) State of Education Gary discusses the current state of education in public schools and universities. For all the money being spent and all the focus on "what is best for students," the quality of the product has been steadily declining for decades. Most students leave high school unprepared for college, and colleges have adapted to this, all the while raising prices and bringing in more and more students. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/42245160

The Rod and the Staff 07/27/2026

The Rod and the Staff Gary discusses Christian worldview, the pastorate, and current events. Psalm 23 talks about "the rod and the staff" as sources of comfort, but what exactly does this mean? These tools are used by a shepherd to guide, direct, and protect the sheep. How should these tools be used today? /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/42220010

The Seven Churches of Revelation 07/24/2026

The Seven Churches of Revelation Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 101 Gary responds to various views about the seven churches of the book of Revelation. Many see a rapture beginning in chapter four because the word "church" is no longer mentioned in the rest of the book. This is not the case, as Gary shows in this brief episode. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/42200220

God, Government, and America's Christian Heritage 07/22/2026

God, Government, and America's Christian Heritage Gary is interviewed by Ricardo Davis from the Constitution Party of Georgia. The two have known each other for a while, and Ricardo relates how his initial introduction to Gary was through his book, . Ricardo has been putting those same principles into action in his work in politics and with the Constitution Party. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/42174535

Sacred, Secular, and the Myth of Neutrality 07/20/2026

Sacred, Secular, and the Myth of Neutrality Gary is interviewed by Pastor William Ochoa from Guatemala about presuppositional apologetics. William has been translating some of Gary's books into Spanish, and he is currently working on . The conversation begins there and continues through why it is important for Christians to have answers to objections to the Christian faith. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/42144375

Important Facts in the Book of Revelation 07/17/2026

Important Facts in the Book of Revelation Gary gives an overview of the book of Revelation and helps readers to put the confusing book into perspective. Context is key, and the timing of the events discussed in this last book of the Bible must be taken into consideration. Internal clues about when it was written also need to be taken seriously. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/42122740

The Purpose of Church 07/15/2026

The Purpose of Church Why do Christians go to church every week? Gary discusses the need for biblical and worldview teaching and preaching that helps Christians to understand how God's truth applies and informs every area of life. No aspect of life is "off limits" to a biblical worldview; all of life is to be claimed for God's glory. Get Theonomy: An Informed Response here: /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/42084315

Christians, Politics, and the Apostle Paul 07/13/2026

Christians, Politics, and the Apostle Paul One from the archives and the tactics remain the same. Political liberals are more than willing to use every means necessary to get their message out, even breaking tax laws. Conservatives and Christians seldom have this boldness. In fact, many Christians don't even see the reason to be involved. The Apostle Paul would not agree. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/42051920

Dating the Book of Revelation 07/10/2026

Dating the Book of Revelation Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 100 Gary discusses the date of the writing of the book of Revelation. Joel Richardson recently claimed that the historic church has primarily been premillennial in its eschatology and has held to a "late date" (around AD 95) for the writing of the book. Is this correct? /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/42027935

Billionaires and Trillionaires 07/08/2026

Billionaires and Trillionaires Gary responds to recent criticisms about certain rich people in America and whether they "need all that money." This is beside the point, aside from the fact that most critics are using technology created by billionaires to voice their opposition. It all comes down to the two Es: Eschatology and Economics. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41997380

An Eschatological Worldview 07/06/2026

An Eschatological Worldview Gary reveals that he is considering having a prophecy conference in the Nashville area next summer. Why is this necessary and what will be taught? Listen to today's episode to learn much more about what Gary has in mind for this potential event. Leads for potential sites to hold the conference can be emailed to podcast@americanvision.org. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41970625

How Literal are the Literalists? 07/03/2026

How Literal are the Literalists? Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 99 Gary points out that no one interprets purely "literally," although many prophecy speculators claim that they do. The book of Revelation says in the very first chapter that the book is "signs," not actual events and beings. In reality, interpreting the Bible "literally" means to interpret what it says in terms of the type of "literature" it is written in, whether historical narrative, poetry, apocalyptic, etc. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41945595

America Began with the Colonies 07/01/2026

America Began with the Colonies Every Fourth of July, we celebrate the "birth of the United States," but this is not quite accurate. The nation of America was born much earlier in the colonies. Thirteen colonies with independent governments and intact constitutions were operating in 1776. Gary discusses the early history of the colonies, and how they founded their laws and constitutions on the Bible. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41905150

America's Christian Past and Present 06/29/2026

America's Christian Past and Present Gary discusses a new book by Warren Throckmorton about America's Christian past. The book misses the point of what "historical" actually means, because no event or movement in history begins at one moment in time. All of history, as well as the present, is dependent on what happened before; it didn't just begin out of thin air. Larry Ball's article on the recent PCA committee report is . /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41856965

Contrary to Joel Richardson, the Abomination of Desolation is History 06/26/2026

Contrary to Joel Richardson, the Abomination of Desolation is History Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 98 Gary responds to a recent video by Joel Richardson about Matthew 24:15 and the "abomination of desolation." Before addressing Joel's claims, Gary conducts a brief survey of the Gospel of Matthew, reminding readers (and hearers) of what Jesus said and to whom He was speaking. Context and audience relevance are important and crucial to understanding. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41809985

World Cup Fans' Reaction to America 06/24/2026

World Cup Fans' Reaction to America Gary discusses the World Cup and the responses of international fans visiting America for the first time. Many of them were given a false idea about what the USA is like and come away surprised about how well they are being received. Gary also mentions some of the funny things that they are loving about the United States and the people they are meeting. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41746640

The Vision of the Self-Appointed 06/22/2026

The Vision of the Self-Appointed Stories keep piling up about the self-appointed "experts" going out of their way to enforce everyone to think and believe what they demand. Newspeak and media brain-washing are the tactics, but many regular citizens are (finally) starting to push back and question the "upside down" world of the cultural elite. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41722275

The Hour of Testing About to Come 06/19/2026

The Hour of Testing About to Come Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 97 Gary discusses common misconceptions about Revelation 3:10 and its context, emphasizing the importance of understanding biblical prophecy within its historical setting. He clarifies that many interpretations of end-time events are misapplied and highlights the early church's view on Revelation's fulfillment. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41696845

The State of American Disunion (Part Two) 06/17/2026

The State of American Disunion (Part Two) Gary concludes his interview with Rod Martin about several recent elections and what he thinks might be coming in the near future. Rod believes that we are on the cusp of a "golden age" thanks to theological and worldview changes among many young men, exciting new technologies that will change life for many around the world, and many other encouraging signs for what's ahead. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41671100

The State of American Disunion (Part One) 06/15/2026

The State of American Disunion (Part One) Gary interviews his friend Rod Martin about the current state of politics in this country and all the fighting (and infighting) happening between the two major political parties. Rod has been active and studying the political landscape for years and has a unique take on what's happening among Americans—politically and religiously. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41642000

Knowledge Shall Be Increased 06/12/2026

Knowledge Shall Be Increased Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 96 Gary discusses a verse from the book of Daniel (12:4) that has been widely cited lately in relation to Bible prophecy and artificial intelligence technologies. When Daniel says that "knowledge will be increased," he isn't referring to a general increase in the quantity of knowledge, as most modern prophecy writers want it to mean. It has nothing to do with computers, the internet, or AI. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41618515

Hope and the Glorious Inheritance 06/10/2026

Hope and the Glorious Inheritance Gary welcomes Kim Burgess back for one final episode of the series on 1 Corinthians 15. In this last installment, Kim focuses on three words often used in the NT—hope, glory, and inheritance—and puts them into biblical context for the time in which they were written, namely the first century. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41589605

American History with Bill Federer 06/08/2026

American History with Bill Federer Gary interviews author and speaker Bill Federer on today's episode. Bill has written nearly two dozen books on America's Christian history and has documented all of it with original source material. He travels all around the country giving talks and is booked nearly every week. More information can be found on Bill's website . /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41568295

Looking for Biblical Connections 06/05/2026

Looking for Biblical Connections Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 95 Gary responds to a video by John Bevere that makes several claims about the pretribulational rapture and what the early church believed about Bible prophecy. Gary goes back to the text of the New Testament, specifically Matthew 24, to see what Jesus actually said about these things that were to come upon that first century generation. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41541900

Anti-Historical Bias in America's Christian History 06/03/2026

Anti-Historical Bias in America's Christian History Gary responds to an article published by Baptist News written by Mara Richards Bim about the recent report released by President Trump's Justice Department. Bim is very selective in her reporting, and what she will accept as "historical evidence" (it must come from a PhD "expert"), and discounts many Christian writers for their lack of doctorates, yet never deals with their actual claims. Gary points out her own historical ignorance. Read the article here: /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41521400

Answering Anti-Preterist Heresies (Part Two) 06/01/2026

Answering Anti-Preterist Heresies (Part Two) In this conclusion of a conference talk Gary gave recently, he discusses the apologetics of preterism. Many futurists are vehemently opposed to any argument put forth by any preterist, to the point that they call it heresy, even though they must reword and redefine simple words in the New Testament. Gary gives some advice about how to approach such people. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/41433100
