The Gary DeMar Podcast

Author, Theologian, Exegete, and Comic Book collector, Gary DeMar does what he does best: Talk about everything and anything, relating it to how the world actually works. Welcome to the Gary DeMar Podcast!

Preterism and Easter Sunday 04/18/2025

Preterism and Easter Sunday Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 36 Gary discusses the fact that ALL Christians are preterists, at least to some degree. If you believe the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a historical fact—you are a preterist. Even unbelievers cannot deny that these events—whether they believe they happened or not—have changed the course of world history. In other words, Jesus Christ has changed the world forever, according to the Scriptures. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/36213595

The Guardrails of Creedal Certainty 04/16/2025

The Guardrails of Creedal Certainty Gary concludes his response to a recent video discussion about his eschatological views. The host references a book that refers to the creeds and confessions as "guardrails" that keep biblical exegesis within the "bounds" of orthodoxy. In reality, they are elevating the creeds (at least the ones they recognize as authoritative) above what the Bible actually says. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/36161140

Answering Cults that Claim to Believe the Bible 04/14/2025

Answering Cults that Claim to Believe the Bible Many religious cults claim to believe the Bible and biblical inerrancy. A recent video discussion that included Sam Frost and Andrew Sandlin raised the question about how Gary would answer cults using only the Bible. Their claim seems to be that creeds and confessions are necessary to defend a proper biblical interpretation, but Gary disagrees. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/36116610

Surprising Facts From the Book of Revelation 04/11/2025

Surprising Facts From the Book of Revelation Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 35 Gary gives an overview of the book of Revelation and helps readers to put the confusing book into perspective. Context is important and the timing of the events mentioned in the last book of the Bible must be taken into consideration. Internal clues about when it was written also need to be factored in. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/36090225

More Memes of the Week 04/09/2025

More Memes of the Week It's now official! Gary brings back his segment "Memes of the Week" making it a regular feature of the podcast (or least one that has recurred). Meme creators find interesting ways to communicate complicated topics in (often) humorous ways. Gary highlights a few of his most recent favorites. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/36057175

The Return of the Three Questions 04/07/2025

The Return of the Three Questions Gary responds to recent criticism that resurrects the "Three Questions Controversy" from 2023 and accuses Gary of promoting "full preterism." While the tactics of the accusers remain the same, the exegetical proof that Gary has been demanding (not just pointing to a creed) remains missing. The critics do not even agree among themselves and continually hide behind creedal statements, yet refuse to interact with the biblical time statements. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/36028455

The Great Tribulation-Future or Fulfilled? 04/04/2025

The Great Tribulation-Future or Fulfilled? Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 34Gary responds to a video that critiques a preterist interpretation of Matthew 24. The critique gives the impression that 1) a preterist interpretation is "new" (it's not); and 2) that it's not biblical (it is). Gary gives many biblical reasons why a preterist interpretation makes the best sense of the context and the timing of Jesus' Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35997585

Actual Gary vs. AI Gary 04/02/2025

Actual Gary vs. AI Gary Gary continues his conversation with Kevin Barber about technology and artificial intelligence. Kevin reveals a tool he made for American Vision, which can be found at . Using open source AI software, Kevin created a chatbot that learned to think using only Gary DeMar books and it is ready and waiting to answer all your Bible prophecy and eschatology questions right now. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35969425

The Promises, Benefits, and Cautions of AI 03/31/2025

The Promises, Benefits, and Cautions of AI Gary has a fascinating conversation with business owner and technology leader, Kevin Barber. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a dominant topic in the news for the last several years, especially with the leaps in computer advancement and processing power. AI is not as bad as you've heard and it's not as good as you've heard. Kevin explains that it's simply a "tool," but a tool with the ability to change the world, for better and for worse. Christians must be informed about AI and be ready to use it to the glory of God. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35928790

Timing is Everything 03/28/2025

Timing is Everything Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 33 Gary riffs on a short clip from an individual trying to explain away the meaning of the word "soon." Context always determines what words actually mean, not what we want them to mean. Although "soon" can have various meanings about how close an event may be, it is always clarified by what surrounds it. This podcast will begin as "soon" as you push play... /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35893120

The Gospel According to (Cool Hand) Luke 03/26/2025

The Gospel According to (Cool Hand) Luke One of the problems with today’s movies and films is the lack of creativity. Modern filmmakers don’t have to worry much about constraints on their content, but real creativity needs these constraints. Cool Hand Luke is more than half a century old but it is a great example of excellent storytelling. While it is not a Christian movie in any sense, it uses a lot of Christian symbology to tell its tale. Christians need to re-learn how to interpret art through a Christian worldview. Cool Hand Luke is a good place to begin. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35867485

A Non-Violent Revolutionary Faith 03/24/2025

A Non-Violent Revolutionary Faith Gary discusses revolutionary practices of the Left (like firebombing Teslas) and how nothing has changed in their tactics (the very ones they claim to fear from the Right). Christians, like others, are called to be revolutionaries, but unlike others, they have a divine example of being non-violent in advancing their revolutionary faith. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35826800

A Review of The Doctrine of the Last Things 03/21/2025

A Review of The Doctrine of the Last Things Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-32 Gary reviews a new book by Dr. Sam Waldron about eschatology called The Doctrine of Last Things. Waldon basically follows John Murray's amillennialism and doesn't really deal with much of the material that presents a different view. While Dr. Waldron offers his views on preterism, he doesn't actually interact with any of their writings and dismisses it as a Catholic heresy. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35801450

The Battle for Biblical Truth 03/19/2025

The Battle for Biblical Truth Gary discusses the work of American Vision and runs through some history of theological debates over the last half-century. AV has been on the frontlines of biblical truth for 45 years and continues to do so with books, videos, web articles, podcasts, and much more. Please consider joining us and help to continue AV's impact in 2025 with a donation matching grant during March. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35746425

The Church and the Ekklesia 03/17/2025

The Church and the Ekklesia Gary answers a listener question about the word "church" and how it is used by the Bible and interpreters over the years. Is God "doing something new" in the New Testament, or is He fulfilling exactly what He promised in the Old Testament? Was God's plan for His people changed when they rejected Jesus as their Messiah? /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35722590

Is Donald Trump the Antichrist? 03/14/2025

Is Donald Trump the Antichrist? Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 31 Gary responds to a short audio clip from a pastor who claims we're currently in the great tribulation and that Donald Trump is the end-times bad guy called the Antichrist. Gary refutes both of these claims with biblical exegesis, historical reminders, and common sense. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35678625

Memes of the Day 03/12/2025

Memes of the Day Gary comments on some popular examples of internet wisdom in the forms of memes. Some of the most illogical and ridiculous ideas are presented by people in the form of memes and Gary can't resist pointing out the nonsense being displayed. He has also decided that this will become a semi-regular segment on the podcast so be on the lookout for more to come. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35646645

Pastors, Professionals, and Pundits 03/10/2025

Pastors, Professionals, and Pundits Gary comments on a recent article by Pastor Kevin DeYoung about pastors becoming "political pundits." While it is true that many pastors simply comment on politics without making any reference to the Bible, our current situation is most certainly a biblical issue. Staying out of politics is not the correct response; bringing the Bible to bear on politics and culture is. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35594355

Signs of the End Times 03/07/2025

Signs of the End Times Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 30There are many signs mentioned throughout the NT by Jesus and others that are said to come during the "last days." Many writers and prophetic speculators have claimed that these signs are happening all around us today. Unfortunately for them, the context for these biblical signs was "soon," as in soon when the NT was written—that is, in the first century AD. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35564270

Doubling Down on Political Insanity 03/05/2025

Doubling Down on Political Insanity Gary discusses more recent craziness coming from politicians and celebrities about transgenderism and sports. Proving that they are completely out of touch with the vast majority of Americans, these people are saying downright crazy stuff... and then repeating it. It's no longer forgivable as "political" speech; it is just pure insanity. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35542425

Artificial Intelligence and Mental Atrophy 03/03/2025

Artificial Intelligence and Mental Atrophy Gary discusses several recent examples about people believing absurd things just because of something they saw online. AI is only as good as the database it searches, and if errors exist in the data, the answers the AI gives will always be wrong. People need to learn to be discerning and check information out before repeating it. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35501405

Putting Prophecy Into Perspective (Part Two) 02/28/2025

Putting Prophecy Into Perspective (Part Two) Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 29 In this conclusion to his talk from a few years back at a conference in Nashville, Gary gives a quick hermeneutics lesson using Matthew 24. We must use the Bible to interpret the Bible and not overlook details like timing and locations. We cannot reinterpret these as relevant to our own day and still claim we are being faithful to the text as written. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35456555

Government "Aid" is a Trap 02/26/2025

Government "Aid" is a Trap Gary discusses a recent comment by late night host Stephen Colbert about Christians helping the poor. Colbert, not surprisingly, is terribly uninformed on how much the Church has done for the poor for thousands of years. In fact, until big government stepped into to "help," the Church was about the only organization doing it. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35429455

Give Peace a Chance 02/24/2025

Give Peace a Chance Gary interacts with recent claims that outbreaks of peace in the world have significance for Bible prophecy. Generally, most modern prophecy pundits point out all the talks of war as being signs of the end times, but now we must also be suspect of peace talks. Gary brings sanity to the discussions of both war and peace. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35396875

Putting Prophecy Into Perspective (Part One) 02/21/2025

Putting Prophecy Into Perspective (Part One) Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 28 In this talk given a few years back at a conference in Nashville, Gary introduces the topic of Bible prophecy and why it is important. Most Christians never challenge their view of the future and end up believing all sorts of strange "winds of doctrine" and get "tossed back and forth by the waves" (Ephesians 4:14). /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35376480

The Martyrdom of Antipas 02/19/2025

The Martyrdom of Antipas Gary answers a listener question about the supposed historical fact that Antipas (mentioned in Revelation 2:13) was martyred in the mid-90s AD under Domitian. If true, this would mean the book of Revelation was written after the destruction of the city and the temple in AD 70. Preterists maintain that the book was written during Nero's reign in the mid-60s AD. So which view is correct and why does it matter? /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35339645

Searching for Meaning and Purpose 02/17/2025

Searching for Meaning and Purpose Gary talks about the trend among young people where Bible sales are increasing and they are obviously looking for some sort of purpose. There is a sense where every generation rejects the views of the parents, but it also runs deeper. People say they are looking for their "true self" but how will they know when they've actually found it? /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35301350

Magog is Moscow and Gog is China 02/14/2025

Magog is Moscow and Gog is China Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 27 Gary discusses new "research" that has now determined and revealed China's role in Bible prophecy. With the publication of each day's news, prophecy speculators are writing blogs and releasing videos that reinterpret the previous day's speculations and surefire "end time" predictions. /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35280305

Holding Government Accountable 02/12/2025

Holding Government Accountable Gary discusses DOGE and USAID and government overspending in general. Just as most people manage their own household budgets and spending, so is the Federal Government responsible not to spend money it does not have. An ignored requirement from Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution is an accounting of where money is being spent. Read Gary's DOGE article here: /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35246900

To Have Children or Not to Have Children? 02/10/2025

To Have Children or Not to Have Children? Gary discusses recent articles about immigration and birth rates. So called anti-natalists put the welfare of the planet over the welfare of humanity, but they are seldom willing to rid the planet of themselves first. Gary calls materialistic "science" into the argument to point out the hypocrisy. Get Gary's book, Why It Might Be OK to Eat Your Neighbor, here: /episode/index/show/garydemar/id/35193810
