Gary discusses the World Cup and the responses of international fans visiting America for the first time. God did not reserve His commandments for just the nation Israel and the church. Scripture makes it clear that all kings in Israel should copy the law in the presence of the Levitical priests so the rulers would be careful to observe every word of the law (Deuteronomy 17:18-19). Even nations ou [...]
Penn Jillette and Raymond Teller are stage magicians. They also attack frauds who claim to be supernaturally endowed with psychic powers and communication with the spirit realm. They aren’t the first to do this. Reginald Scot (c. 1538-1599), author of The Discoverie of Witchcraft (1584), exposed the witch-hunting craze of his time. He also applied his observational skills by explaining that many p [...]
Newspeak and media brain-washing are the tactics, but many are (finally) starting to question the “upside down” world of the cultural elite. When individuals lose their identity, when civil government becomes the only government and people live in service to the State, “the standard of living falls, refugees flee across borders in abject poverty, and barbed wire and walls go up along b [...]
Steven Spielberg’s new 2026 film, Disclosure Day, is about alien encounters and government cover-ups. It’s not Spielberg’s first foray into alien encounter films. There was the 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and the 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, initially titled Watch the Skies. The roots of Watch the Skies dated back to an indelible moment in Spielberg’s childhood, when he a [...]
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. Many commentators from the early and medieval periods held that the hour of testing in Rev. 3:10 was, or could be interpreted as, a first-century persecution. These included Ecumenius [...]
My wife and I were watching Season 3, Episode 4 “A Little Drop of Poison” from the British version of Professor T when the Professor mentioned Lillian Gilbreth and her book The Psychology of Management (1914) regarding “time and motion studies.” The study triggered something for the Professor that was a clue to help him solve a crime. The current condition of our mismanaged government might be abl [...]
Gary concludes his interview with Rod Martin about several recent elections and what he thinks might be coming in the near future. The claim of neutrality by Christians is judged harshly in the Bible: “I know your deeds, that you are neither hot nor cold; I would that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth” (Rev. [...]
Trying to link current events to prophetic texts to predict when the “rapture” might occur or when the Second Coming might happen is like linking scientific discoveries to the Bible. When the latest scientific discovery is later nullified by a new discovery, the biblical link is made null and void. Let me offer a typical example. With the rise in technology, speedier microchips, eBooks, gargantuan [...]
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. Restoration of the Republic begins with the individual. Only the conversion of many can result in long-term societal restoration. I assume that you already are a Christian; that you have repented of your sins and have tur [...]
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. Those who take [Daniel 12] verse 4 as referring to events at the end of history believe that Daniel’s prophecy is “sealed up” until that time. Only as the second coming of Christ draws near wil [...]
“Just preach the gospel.” How many times have you heard pastors and critics of social and political action scold Christians concerned about the moral direction the world is headed? The gospel is more than a life insurance program or a “Get Out of Hell Free” card. It is to transform everything we think about and act on. There is no neutrality, nor are any areas off-limits to the application of God’ [...]
Gary welcomes Kim Burgess back for one final episode of the series on 1 Corinthians 15. Now, as we said previously, we are going to tell you up-front what we are going to be telling tell you in this series. As it were, regarding the ruling covenantal hermeneutic in Scripture, we are going to start with the bottom line first. What is coming now is really the most important lesson of all because of [...]
A great deal of time and energy goes into supporting a pre-tribulational “rapture.” In a recent interview, John Bevere, author of The King is Coming, claims that Irenaeus of Lyons (c. AD 130-202) taught that the “rapture of the church” took place before the final week of Daniel’s 70 weeks-of-years prophecy. Irenaeus is claimed as a key support witness for the rapturists because he identifies Papia [...]
Gary interviews author and speaker Bill Federer on today’s episode. The story of Christianity in America is one of the most astonishing chapters in the annals of the world. The events of Providence in reserving and preparing the country of these United States to be the theater of its development and triumph, constitute one of the most remarkable passages of modern history. This is a Christia [...]
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. History is important, but it is not authoritative. In terms of sola Scriptura, it does not matter what men of the past believed; the Bible is the standard. The argument is often made that some Ch [...]
Since John is told the events revealed to him were to take place “soon” (1:1) “for the time is near” (1:3), Revelation is about events that were to happen soon for those living in John’s day, in particular, in events leading up to and including the end of the Old Covenant represented outwardly by the temple and Israel’s capital city, Jerusalem. The Old Covenant was replaced with a better covenant [...]
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. A 1982 article in Newsweek magazine stated the following: “[F]or centuries [the Bible] has exerted an unrivaled influence on American culture, politics and social life. Now historians are discovering that the Bible perhaps even more than [...]
James Talarico, the Democrat nominee for the 2026 U.S. Senate election in Texas, will face Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in November. Paxton trounced incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the primary by nearly 30 points. Good riddance. Talarico claims to be a Christian. As a Presbyterian seminarian, he argues that issues like abortion and LGBTQ+ rights are not biblically settled, famously stating that [...]
In this conclusion of a conference talk Gary gave recently, he discusses the apologetics of preterism. Before any worthwhile discussion can take place about the Bible, the first question I always ask is, “What does the text say?” The tempter approached Eve with a question about the text: “Indeed has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden?’” (Gen. 3:1). The serpent intentionally m [...]
Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 94 Gary discusses the hermeneutical concept of “audience relevance.” In Matthew 24, Jesus continually uses the second-person plural (“you”) to identify His present audience: “when you see these things” (24:33). Follow the use of “you” throughout the chapter and notice that it refers to Jesus’ [...]
