Gary answers email questions that he has received recently about Romans 11 and what “all Israel” being saved means. During the sixteenth century, in the Reformation and immediate post-Reformation period, several theologians addressed the question of Israel’s place in God’s plans for the future. Theodore Beza, John Calvin’s successor in Geneva, taught, according to Eng [...]

Gary answers a listener question about the parenthetical statement in the Gospels about “letting the reader understand.” Earlier in Israel’s history, God threatened desolation because the Jews had defiled the temple with detestable things and abominations. “‘So as I live,’ declares the Lord God, ‘surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable idols and with all [...]

Gary discusses Islam, the Gospel, and the recent interview of Ted Cruz by Tucker Carlson. Zionism is secular. Compare the return of Jews in 1948 to what is now called “Palestine,” where many Jews were living when Jews migrated before and after 1948, to the return of the Jews from the Babylonian captivity: Then Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taug [...]

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.” Does Isaiah 11:11-12 refer to a distant return of Israel back to their land, or did it have a past fulfillment in view?
