Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 58 Many Christians are claiming that the assassination of Charlie Kirk in front of the world via the internet and social media is yet another sign that the "last days" are upon us. Gary gives some historical and biblical perspective in response to such speculative claims. 

Gary discusses pastors and politics and answers a Facebook commenter named "Missionary Larry." Larry repeats most, if not all, of the Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths mentioned in Gary's book by the same name. Gary points out that politics are unavoidable, and ignoring them only increase the level of them, in any area of life, including church life.

Gary briefly discusses the Charlie Kirk assassination and goes into detail about a new book he received the day before called The Separation of Church and Hate. Leftists have long-claimed that "fundamentalists" and "white nationalists" misinterpret the Bible and "twist Scripture." This book reveals who is really promoting modern "cleverly designed fables" about Jesus and the Bible.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 57 Gary answers a listener question about Bible prophecy. He received an email from an individual who said that his pastor was beginning a series on Bible prophecy and gave an introductory talk that included six over-arching principles. The listener asked Gary to respond to the six principles.

Gary interviews J.D. Rucker with Patriot.tv and TheLibertyDaily.com . J.D. is politically and culturally informed, but more importantly, he is a Christian that understands the worldview antagonism behind the cultural trends of the day. Through his various websites, J.D. wants to help others stay informed and get connected to others doing the same, in every area of life.

Gary recaps his recent trip to Moscow, Idaho and all of the various people he met while there. Due to the "company he keeps," Gary has been taken to task by various individuals on social media who are demanding that he answer them. Gary gives his view on the situation and what he really thinks about demands being placed on his time.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 56 Gary discusses general interpretative principles about the Bible and specifically, the book of Revelation. When people become Christians due to some scary interpretation of the end times taught by a well-meaning teacher, they often jump right to the last book to begin their initial reading of the Bible. This usually causes more confusion than clarific...

Gary interviews Doug Wilson about the how and why of worldview Christianity. Doug and his family have been in Moscow, Idaho since the late 1960s. The applied Christianity that Doug saw and learned from his father continues to this day. The influence he and others are having even gained the attention of CNN. Listen to this fascinating interview about how a long-term vision can bring change.  Get Ji...

Reality and "truth" are being fragmented by modern political and social efforts and promulgated through the internet and social media. Non-Christian beliefs don’t and can’t offer anything in terms of a comprehensive worldview. Dr. Gary North joins Gary DeMar on today's episode with a discussion about today's fragmented world.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 55 Gary discusses the myth of "replacement theology." Critics claim that certain Christians are claiming that the Church "replaces" Israel in God's plan for the world. This is wrong historically, logically, and most importantly, theologically. Gary explains why in great depth with actual Bible passages.

Gary brings up several recent news stories and provides a bit of historical insight into the craziness. Leftists constantly accuse those on the Right (and those involved with MAGA and MAHA) of being "fascists." The reality is that the real fascists and racists are the ones who loudly proclaim to be the most offended. 

Gary discusses the recent Facebook obsession about the "rapture" coming next month. Certain individuals are teaching that the rapture will "definitely" be on September 22-25, 2025. Gary issues a challenge to anyone convinced of the truth of these prophecies to sign over all their assets to American Vision on September 26, after this newest "sure thing" prophecy is proven to be wrong. Get Gary's bo...

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.

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. 

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.

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...

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: https://store.americanvisi...

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...

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.

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.

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."

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...

Gary responds to an interview clip from a state representative from Texas named James Tallarico, who claims abortion is compatible with the Bible. Gary has discussed statements from Tallarico before regarding the Ten Commandments . He is attending seminary and studying to be a pastor, but his ignorance of biblical topics is truly astounding.

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...

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...
