Responding to a Die-Hard Dispensationalist 12/26/2025

Responding to a Die-Hard Dispensationalist Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 72 Gary responds to a dispensationalist pastor who takes issue with something said by John Rich on a recent podcast with Tucker Carlson. The pastor claims that what Rich was saying was not only misleading, but flat-out false about what Dispensationalism and Christian Zionism teach regarding Israel's future. Gary points out that this pastor doesn't understand his own position clearly enough. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39529025

The 34th Street Apologetic 12/24/2025

The 34th Street Apologetic Gary discusses the classic Christmas film, Miracle on 34th Street. He points out many instances of how this film (and every film for that matter) presents opportunities for thinking through worldviews and Christian apologetics. Many questions are asked throughout the movie that may seem silly at first glance but are actually quite perceptive and help highlight the issue of ultimate authority. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/29152088

Many More Merry Movies 12/22/2025

Many More Merry Movies Gary revisits one of his favorite topics: movies! Rick Welch invited Gary back to his Burros of Berea podcast to discuss Christmas films and the two discuss many festive movies that might be unfamiliar to most listeners. Gary loves older movies from the Golden Age of Film and highlights and analyzes some of his favorites. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39486540

The Incarnation and Bible Prophecy 12/19/2025

The Incarnation and Bible Prophecy Like many in Israel at the time of Jesus’ birth, Christians today are looking for a political savior to rescue them and break the chains of tyranny. Christian leaders tell people to look up and ahead to Jesus’ second coming and rejoice that their “redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:28). But was this the response of Simeon and Anna? Were they rejoicing in what God would do millennia in the future, or were they rejoicing about what God was doing then?

Great Christmas Movies (Part Two) 12/17/2025

Great Christmas Movies (Part Two) Gary continues speaking with Rick Welch of The Burros of Berea podcast about Christmas movies. Gary gives a lot of background information about several more films, including Die Hard, Home Alone, and The Three Godfathers. These older films are often dismissed as being "out of touch," but Gary shows that this is far from the truth. They are great lessons about both life and history (among other topics).

An American Vision in Guatemala 12/15/2025

An American Vision in Guatemala William Ochoa is a pastor in Guatemala and joins Gary on the podcast today. William has been using Gary's and American Vision's materials to minister and train pastors in Guatemala. William explains how impactful the information and biblical worldview materials have been on him and his family and how he is using them to teach and disciple others in Central America. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39402755

Is the Statue of Liberty the Harlot of Revelation 17? 12/12/2025

Is the Statue of Liberty the Harlot of Revelation 17? Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 70 Gary responds to a clip from a prophecy pundit on Facebook claiming that the Statue of Liberty is found in the book of Revelation. The harlot in Revelation 17 has been given hundreds of identities over the years, but they have all been wrong, and so is this one regarding the Statue of Liberty. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39378120

Christ Dealt with His Enemies 12/10/2025

Christ Dealt with His Enemies Gary welcomes Kim Burgess back to answer a listener's question about 1 Corinthians 15:24–28. The preliminary work of Christ in the period of AD 30 to 70 was to bring in the Kingdom of God. That work specifically involved making of none effect the "rulers, authorities, and powers" (vs. 24) that stood in the way of the coming of the Kingdom, referred to in vs. 25 as Christ's "enemies." /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39346300

The Mississippi Reading Miracle 12/08/2025

The Mississippi Reading Miracle Gary discusses education and how children are being taught today compared to 50 years ago. Tried and true methods like memorizing math facts and phonics are being replaced by "new" methods that were promised to work better. They haven't, and states like Mississippi are going back to the "old" ways and seeing great improvements. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39315185

The Regathering of Israel a Second Time 12/05/2025

The Regathering of Israel a Second Time Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 69 Gary discusses another "key" prophetic sign that many say is happening in our present day. Many of these "signs" hinge on Israel, and one of the big ones is the "regathering" of Jews into the land. Gary shows how this prophecy from Isaiah has already been fulfilled. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39286785

Great Christmas Movies (Part One) 12/03/2025

Great Christmas Movies (Part One) Gary is interviewed by Rick Welch of The Burros of Berea podcast about old Christmas movies. Gary gives a lot of background information about the two films discussed in this first part (Beyond Christmas and It's a Wonderful Life). These older films can often be dismissed as "out of touch," but Gary shows that this is far from the truth. They are great lessons about both life and history (among other topics). Read Dr. Gary North's article about the economics of It's a Wonderful Life here: /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39243610

You Can't Get Around Economic Laws 12/01/2025

You Can't Get Around Economic Laws Gary discusses different aspects of monetary policy and economics. Politicians and economists act like they can control and turn economic laws the way they want them to go. This is not possible, as Gary points out with three quick lessons from real-life scenarios. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39213400

Context, Context, Context 11/28/2025

Context, Context, Context Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 68 Reading the Bible is more than just understanding the words on the page; the words were said or written in a particular historical time and place and meant something significant to that audience. We must read and interpret the Bible, especially prophetic passages, with that historical awareness in mind. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39195500

The Last Trumpet 11/26/2025

The Last Trumpet Gary and Kim Burgess conclude their discussion of 1 Corinthians 15. In verse 52, the Apostle Paul mentions "the last trumpet" and in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 he also connects the last trumpet with a "shout." Trumpets and shouts should remind us of Jericho, and Kim brings up many other verses in the Old and New Testaments that help us to understand what Paul is teaching in 1 Cor 15. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39170820

The Real Replacement Theology 11/24/2025

The Real Replacement Theology Gary comments on an article that claims the current "replacement theology" affecting the Church is replacing Christ with Israel. Evangelicals' obsession with promoting American involvement with and financial and military support of Israel in any and every situation is claimed to be the Christian approach, but is this really the case? /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39144765

Learning Nothing from Prophetic Speculation 11/21/2025

Learning Nothing from Prophetic Speculation Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 67 Gary picks up where he left off last week, discussing modern prophetic speculation about current events, which, in reality, is nothing new. The same texts are interpreted, re-interpreted, and even modified to fit the "facts" of our current world in order to make the Bible "fit" what's being claimed by authors, pastors, and prophecy pundits. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39116315

The Sting of Death is Sin 11/19/2025

The Sting of Death is Sin Gary continues speaking with Kim Burgess about 1 Corinthians 15 and the timing and nature of the resurrection. Kim continues teaching about Sheol, the realm of the dead, and how Jesus gave victory over it. Believers no longer die and go to Sheol, they immediately enter the presence of Christ. As Paul taught, "to live is Christ and to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21) and "absent from the body, present with the Lord" (2 Cor. 5:8). /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39084270

Co-Laborers and Eschatological Apologetics 11/17/2025

Co-Laborers and Eschatological Apologetics Gary discusses the current state of eschatology debates online. It can be easy to become dismissive of others who can't understand or agree with your position, but Gary has a different approach. He often says, "Don't give a reason for people to reject your position except the position itself." /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39055140

Prophetic Speculation is Running Wild 11/14/2025

Prophetic Speculation is Running Wild Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 66 Gary discusses how "end-times" prophecy is overflowing on social media lately and how many are claiming that we are in the last days. Anyone with a computer and a camera is able to share their "biblical studies" and "insights" into current events and the Bible, but none of them are honest enough to admit that this has been going on for decades with similar failed results. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39021970

The Final Enemy is Abolished 11/12/2025

The Final Enemy is Abolished Gary continues going through 1 Corinthians 15 with Kim Burgess. In this episode, they discuss death as being the final enemy. Kim brings up some very interesting points that are not obvious from our English translations. Sheol, or the realm of the dead, was a very big topic in the mind of first century Jews and this is what Paul is addressing. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/39002515

The Seed and the Stalk 11/10/2025

The Seed and the Stalk Gary continues his discussion with Kim Burgess on 1 Corinthians 15. In this episode, Kim walks through the Apostle Paul's "seed analogy" and some of the Greek behind the terms he uses. Paul uses wheat, but Kim changes it to corn to make the point clear: what goes in the ground (what is sown) is not what comes out of the ground (what is raised). The final result is much more glorious than how it began. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/38969450

Recapping the Moscow Eschatology Event 11/07/2025

Recapping the Moscow Eschatology Event Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 65 Gary shares his takeaways and summary of the recent discussion/debate he had with Douglas Wilson in Moscow, Idaho. It was a rare occasion for honest discussion on a topic that remains hotly contested among Christians of all types. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/38943945

The Resurrection of the Dead 11/05/2025

The Resurrection of the Dead Gary begins a series of podcasts on 1 Corinthians 15 with Kim Burgess. In this first one, the two survey the interpretative "land" and with a quick history about how Christians have viewed this chapter and how it relates to eschatology and our future state in a "spiritual body." Kim then gives a quick overview of what he believes Paul is saying. (This series will likely contain five episodes in total.) /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/38914300

The Battle of Gog and Magog is Past 11/03/2025

The Battle of Gog and Magog is Past In a conference talk recorded years ago, Gary discusses the Battle of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38-39. Many Christians teach that this battle is yet to come and involves modern-day Israel. Gary disagrees and gives biblical and historical evidence to show that this battle took place long ago and confirms events spoken of in the OT book of Esther. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/38883585

Clearing the Prophetic Air 10/31/2025

Clearing the Prophetic Air Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 64 Gary gives his "state of the union" of current teachings about Bible prophecy coming from non-Dispensational critics. Gary is preparing to travel to Moscow, Idaho to discuss eschatology with Douglas Wilson in a public forum, so the topic is forefront on his mind. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/38852235

Taking Back Halloween with Mocking and Laughter 10/29/2025

Taking Back Halloween with Mocking and Laughter The defeat of evil and of demonic powers is associated with Halloween. For this reason, Martin Luther posted his 95 challenges to the wicked practices of the Church to the bulletin board on the door of the Wittenberg chapel on Halloween. He picked his day with care, and ever since Halloween has also been Reformation Day. The power of Satan has been broken once and for all, and our children can mock him by dressing up like ghosts, goblins, and witches. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/38814885

Taylor Swift is a Cisgender Racist 10/27/2025

Taylor Swift is a Cisgender Racist Gary discusses several recent news events, including a crazy leftist relationship coach claiming Taylor Swift is showing her "tradwife" leanings by wanting to have children. The author claims Swift wanting to have children with her future husband, who is also white, is a new form of racism that perpetuates "white culture" and "white supremacy." /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/38786735

Is There a Split in Matthew 24? 10/24/2025

Is There a Split in Matthew 24? Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 63 Gary continues his discussion of Matthew 23-25 with Darren Doane. The two discussed what is known as Jesus' Olivet Discourse a few years back, and this conversation picks up where they left off, continuing through Matthew 25. Many commentators see a break in the events of Matthew 24, with part of it being fulfilled in the first century and the rest being fulfilled in our future. Is this valid? This is only an excerpt from Part 4 of the series. All four parts of the discussion can be found here: /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/38762135

The Birth of America 10/22/2025

The Birth of America 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/38734635

On Platforms and Rattlesnakes 10/20/2025

On Platforms and Rattlesnakes It has been announced that Gary and Doug Wilson will discuss eschatology in a three-hour event in Moscow, Idaho in early November. Gary discusses this opportunity as well as some of the critics voicing their opposition to it due to "platforming heresy." It is a tired play that has been done before. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/38639030
