Daniel's 70 Weeks Prophecy (Part Two) 08/22/2025

Daniel's 70 Weeks Prophecy (Part Two) Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 54 Gary continues going through Daniel 9 and the 70 weeks prophecy. He connects the events of Daniel 9:24-27 to the rest of the Bible and proves that a gap is not necessary, but a reassessment of the timing of certain events might be. Assuming these events are still in our future has created all sorts of strange interpretations in history. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37917065

The Myth of Staying Out of Politics 08/20/2025

The Myth of Staying Out of Politics Gary talks about a recent message delivered by Pastor Jack Hibbs to California pastors about legislation being proposed in their state. Hibbs is to be commended for his political awareness and boldness and encouraging others to speak the truth, but his own eschatological views unfortunately undermine his effectiveness in the civil realm. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37884550

Nothing New Under the Sun 08/18/2025

Nothing New Under the Sun After a quick update of current projects, Gary discusses some Facebook craziness about weather patterns and the end times. Many people have no conception of history and what was claimed using the same Bible verses even just 10 years ago. There is nothing new under the sun, as Solomon in Ecclesiastes would put it. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37854890

Daniel's 70 Weeks Prophecy 08/15/2025

Daniel's 70 Weeks Prophecy Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 53 So much of modern eschatology, especially Dispensationalism, rely on four verses (24–27) in Daniel 9 to make their system hold together. This is suspect enough, but then to make it work chronologically, they need to insert huge gaps of years. Daniel's timebound prophecy that uses "weeks of years" to indicate when the time would be near is made useless by adding a gap of thousands of years. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37825205

End Times Explained 08/13/2025

End Times Explained Gary recommends a book by Pete and Rachel Wrue called End Times Explained. Although Rachel died in March, she left us with two very helpful books that she wrote along with her husband in the area of eschatology and the end times. This book, Gary says, would make a great Bible study and a great introduction to biblical eschatology and the various views. Get the book here: /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37784780

Kirk, Cartman, and Wilson 08/11/2025

Kirk, Cartman, and Wilson Gary discusses several news stories involving Charlie Kirk and Douglas Wilson. The Left is getting nervous and beginning to reveal its hand with these "red meat journalism" hit pieces. Thinking they are exposing crazy views by the Right, they are actually revealing their own insanity and illogical views. The presuppositional approach has that effect, as Greg Bahnsen showed years ago. Watch the CNN interview with Doug Wilson . /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37750560

Earthquakes, Famines, and Falling Stars 08/08/2025

Earthquakes, Famines, and Falling Stars Gary discusses the popular signs spoken of in the NT that people today use to claim that the last days are upon us. All these events need to be read in light of the first century context, which Jesus says is "this generation." All of these natural phenomena were given as signs to them, not to us. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37723420

Setting Aside the Commandments of God 08/06/2025

Setting Aside the Commandments of God Gary plays a recent clip of Piers Morgan who claims that Jesus never talked about abortion. He challenges people to "read the red letters" of the New Testament to see if Jesus ever mentioned the topic of abortion. There are many topics that are big in our modern cultural political climate that Jesus didn't mention. Gary brings the truth and the biblical understanding to the topic. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37695565

Returning to the Good Old Days 08/04/2025

Returning to the Good Old Days Gary debunks the idea of the "good old days," and how people claim they want to return to them. Our memories are very selective when we think about "how things used to be." We are very quick to forget about all of the bad things that came along with the "good old days." /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37654280

Paul and the Rebuilt Temple 08/01/2025

Paul and the Rebuilt Temple Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 51 Gary answers a commenter who claims that 2 Thessalonians 2 refers to the need for a rebuilt (third) temple in our future. Regular listeners will immediately recognize the lack of first century context in the claim (when a rebuilt temple was actually standing) and basically requires all of the elements of the first century to be reinstituted and remade. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37628995

Pushing the Antithesis with Rep. James Talarico 07/30/2025

Pushing the Antithesis with Rep. James Talarico Gary responds to an interview clip from a state representative from Texas named James Talarico, who claims abortion is compatible with the Bible. Gary has discussed statements from Talarico before . He is attending seminary and studying to be a pastor, but his ignorance of biblical topics is truly astounding. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37599305

The Great Debate 07/28/2025

The Great Debate Gary discusses the newest book project for American Vision. The Great Debate: Does God Exist? is at the printers and is an expanded and explained transcript of the historic 1985 debate between Dr. Gordon Stein and Dr. Greg Bahnsen. This debate is a classic of presuppositional apologetics and still stands as the ultimate example of showing that God's existence (and immaterial things :) is not only logical, it is absolutely essential. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37570140

John MacArthur's Chronology of Revelation 07/25/2025

John MacArthur's Chronology of Revelation Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 50 Gary discusses a short video clip by John MacArthur regarding the chronology of the book of Revelation. Once again, textual time indicators are ignored in favor of pushing all the events of the book into the near (always near) future. But how can we read a book that uses words like "soon," "shortly," "quickly" and claim that it wasn't near in time for Christians that came before us? /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37540630

So What Happens Next? 07/23/2025

So What Happens Next? Gary answers a question that we get often: "If so much of the New Testament is fulfilled, now what do we do?" It's a bit of a confounding question because people are essentially saying Jesus accomplishing all that He said He would isn't good enough. We live in a whole new world, one that isn't bound to the death and futility of the sacrificial system and the types and shadows of the Old Covenant. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37511545

Back to the Gay Frontier 07/21/2025

Back to the Gay Frontier Gary discusses the recent controversy with Chip and Joanna Gaines' new show and homosexuality. The Gaines are Christians and made the decision to have a homosexual couple on their show "Back to the Frontier" and have been receiving backlash online for it. Chip Gaines even went so far to defend the decision and chided Christians for their unwillingness to "learn." /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37469820

I've Been Issued a Challenge 07/18/2025

I've Been Issued a Challenge Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 49 Gary responds to a challenge issued to him on Facebook about the great tribulation and the "end times." The challenge-writer is convinced that we are living in the last days now, based on Israel becoming a nation again in 1948, and all of the modern "signs" of the times confirming Jesus warnings from the Olivet Discourse. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37452165

Pulpits, Politics, and the IRS 07/16/2025

Pulpits, Politics, and the IRS Gary revisits a topic he discussed a few months back about churches and pastors making political endorsements. It has long been believed that churches cannot even mention politics or candidates due to the threat of losing their tax-exempt status. The IRS has finally come out with a statement making the matter very clear. What excuse will churches use now? /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37420840

Using the Law Lawfully 07/14/2025

Using the Law Lawfully Gary responds to a video clip of Bart Ehrman about various laws from Leviticus. Ehrman tries to equate same-sex relationships with wearing clothes of mixed fabrics because they happen to be stated near each other. His tactics are typical in the non-Christian bubble of atheists and skeptics. Gary shows how his "argument" doesn't actually hold water. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37393010

Will the Real Antichrist Please Stand Up 07/11/2025

Will the Real Antichrist Please Stand Up Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 48 Gary deals with recent claims of what or who the "antichrist" is and how 666 fits in. As usual, most of these claims fail to take the first century timetable into consideration, which makes them (of course) apply everything to their own day and things they are reading or hearing on the internet. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37369015

Contradictions and the Biblical Text 07/09/2025

Contradictions and the Biblical Text Gary discusses a few "contradictions" commonly pointed out by critics. These textual "issues" seem to be difficult on the surface, but a bit of deeper reading makes it obvious that these "problems" with the Biblical text are not really problems at all. Christians must read in order to understand, and recognize that differences in how things are reported in the Bible are theologically significant and add depth and layers to the text as a whole. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37346105

Dead Men Bleed After All 07/07/2025

Dead Men Bleed After All Gary comments on several news items, including a real head-scratcher where some liberals want to say babies in the womb are citizens, despite the fact that they will argue in other situations that the "fetus" is not actually a human baby. Apparently the mother's intention is what creates or negates the humanity of what's in her womb. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37299880

Jonathan Cahn, Dynamite, and Uranium 07/04/2025

Jonathan Cahn, Dynamite, and Uranium Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 47 Gary responds to a recent video by end-times speculator Jonathan Cahn about how we are "watching prophecy unfold before our eyes." This parlor trick is very old and has been used thousands of times by many other end-times alarmists. Listeners must be aware that none of this is new, and the current news cycle does not determine what the Bible means or how we do exegesis. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37276780

All (that's left of) Israel Will be Saved 07/02/2025

All (that's left of) Israel Will be Saved Gary answers email questions that he has received recently about Romans 11 and what "all Israel" being saved means. The most influential and popular view is Dispensationalism and its understanding of this passage is to split it off and push it far into the future. This doesn't work exegetically or contextually, where Paul is talking about his own present day. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37248055

Let the Reader Understand 06/30/2025

Let the Reader Understand Gary answers a listener question about the parenthetical statement in the Gospels about "letting the reader understand." Other similar instances are also found in other areas of the NT. Were these something that was said originally, or were they added by the author as a clue to how to interpret the context? /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37211010

Reading Revelation for the First Time 06/27/2025

Reading Revelation for the First Time Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 46 Gary discusses how to read the book of Revelation. Christians too often fail to take the context of the first century into consideration when reading Revelation and instead interpret it based on events in their own time. But how would the original audience and readers have understood and interpreted the letter based on what they had available to them soon after Jesus' ascension in the days of the early church? /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37171430

It's Crazytown Out There 06/25/2025

It's Crazytown Out There Gary discusses a few "things in the news" and gives his unique spin on them. He mentions that in addition to the usual nonsense happening, there are also signs that things are slowly changing. The support for Pride Week is at an all-time low, and many businesses are shutting down funding for this and other DEI initiatives. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37142215

Cruzin’ for a Bruising over Israel 06/23/2025

Cruzin’ for a Bruising over Israel Gary discusses Islam, the Gospel, and the recent "interview" of Ted Cruz by Tucker Carlson. Cruz supports Israel because he says "the Bible commands it." But is this true? Do Christians have a scriptural obligation to support Israel (financially, politically, and militarily) regardless of their reasons for going to war with the countries around them? /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37106405

What's Israel's Role in the End Times? 06/20/2025

What's Israel's Role in the End Times? Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 45 Gary answers a very often-asked question these days about Israel's role in the biblical "end times." It will come as no surprise to any regular listener, but Gary explains why modern-day Israel does not have any prophetic significance, including their current "wars and rumors of wars." /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37083340

Let the Pulpits Ring True 06/18/2025

Let the Pulpits Ring True Gary discusses two recent writings: one a book by Andrew Klavan and the other an article in World Magazine. Both deal with the question often asked by Dr. Gary North: "What is the proper response?" The Bible has the answers to today's moral dilemmas, but too often people believe that modern issues require modern solutions. The Bible deals with human life as it is, not in an idealized way. For this reason, its "ancient" answers are exactly what we need. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37050765

The Last Word on Mello (maybe) 06/16/2025

The Last Word on Mello (maybe) Gary responds to comments from critics on Facebook to his recent about Acts 24:15 and the Greek word mello. The point of the debate is getting somewhat lost, but Gary shows (again) that some of the original Three Questions letter signers teach the very same thing that Gary is saying about Acts 24:15 and mello (about to be). /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/37016535
