Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Gary interviews his longtime friend, Kirk Cameron, about how he came to embrace a new view of Christianity and the world. One of the reasons we are in this cultural and political mess is partly due to a misunderstanding of particular prophetic texts that claim to teach that the “rapture of the church” is inevitably near (for 2000 years?). Why do b [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 91 Gary interviews Bob Cruickshank, Jr. and Daniel Harden about Ezekiel 38-39 and how the book of Esther connects to it. The Gog and Magog prophecy was an ancient battle fought with ancient weapons — horses, chariots, bows and arrows, swords, clubs, and shields — and has nothing to do with our time. Ther [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here I saw the following on Facebook: “The Sign of His Coming By Hugo Grotius: A Preterist Commentary on the Mount Olivet Discourse with Commentary by Dr. Kenneth L. Gentry and Jay Rogers.” The authors argue that the subject shifts from the judgment on Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple from Matthew 24:4-24:34 to a distant future coming of Jes [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Gary interviews Eric Ogea about a ministry he and his wife run in the Dallas, TX, area. The family is a divinely ordained institution (Gen. 1:26–28; 2:24). God created the family and He alone defines it. The State does not create the family and therefore cannot redefine or control it. But believing it is God, the State is in the renaming and redef [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Scientists have claimed that same-sex coupling in nature offers prime evidence that homosexuality among humans is naturally and morally normal. • Whatever animals do in nature is natural. • What’s natural is normal. • What’s normal is moral. How can we mere mortals impose our rules of sexual behavior on what’s natural in the animal kingdom? Homose [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Gary answers several questions about Israel from a regular listener. There is no indication that Matthew 25:31-46 describes a single event. Rather, the passage describes a judgment over time, related to Jesus’ dominion as an “everlasting dominion” (Dan. 7:14). Jesus was “exalted to the right hand of God” where He rules until all His enemies are ma [...]

Jesus tells His disciples that when the temple’s approaching desolation became evident, it would be time to head for the hills. Most roofs in Israel were flat wit [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Gary discusses his recent debate with Joel Richardson about Ezekiel 38-39, the famous Gog and Magog chapters. Nearly every book being published today points to the Gog and Magog alliance as evidence that we are living in the last days and the world is on the eve of destruction. Ezekiel 38 and 39 are being used by today’s prophecy writers as a mode [...]

Gary and Robert Cruickshank discuss how questions they had about what they were reading in the Bible led them to where they are today. Preaching about the soon coming of Christ has long been used by Christian prophecy teachers as a way of pleading with the lost to commit themselves to Jesus Christ. Such a motivating device can backfire on even the most well–intentioned evangelist. What happens if [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 89 Using the analogy of a puzzle, Gary points out that many prophetic systems try to fit biblical facts into their system, but without having the full picture from the front of the puzzle box. Who does Jesus say will see “all these things”? Certainly not a future audience. “So, you too, when you see all [...]

No matter how much prophetic material you cover, there are always people who ask, “But what about this verse and that verse?” My first foray into dealing with Bible prophecy was The Reduction of Christianity: Dave Hunt’s Theology of Cultural Surrender, published in 1988. This was followed by The Debate over Christian Reconstruction that same year. It was a response to a debate that Dr. Gary North [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Gary discusses economic policies and ideas that sound good on the surface, but set generations of people up for long-term failures and government dependency. The professed goal of economic equality has long been used by tyrants as a cover for the most brutal kinds of intervention. It is a fetish, held up before the poor to excite envy, dangled in [...]

Joel Richardson posted the following on Facebook: “Why Millennial Sacrifices Do Not Undermine the Cross.” There are several problems with this claim. First, Revelation 20 does not say Jesus will reign on Earth for the symbolic thousand years, that another temple will be built (I’m losing count), or that animal sacrifices will take place. Everything the premils say about Revelation must be imported [...]

Gary continues his interview with economist Jerry Bowyer. Many details given in the Gospels are extremely important for a proper interpretation of what Jesus said and did and why. Theologians virtually ignore the economic commentary in the Bible. In the few cases where it gets any attention, economic commentary in the Gospels and other New Testament writings tend to lapse into simplistic class war [...]

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 88 Gary discusses current Facebook speculation about the war in Iran, Islam, and Ezekiel 39-39. My library is filled with books that attempt to make the case that the events predicted in Ezekiel 38 and 39 are on our prophetic horizon, and it seems that each month a new book appears insisting that “given the current world situation, nuclear war is inevita [...]

The phrase “Do you believe in God?” is a direct line from Andy Weir’s novel Project Hail Mary, where the character Ryland Grace asks his colleague Steve if he believes in God. In the 2026 film adaptation, this question is reimagined as a conversation between Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) and project leader Eva Stratt (Sandra Hüller). Stratt responds to Grace’s inquiry about her fai [...]

In this first part of an interview with author Jerry Bowyer, Gary discusses the economic and cultural arena of the first century. Jesus’s confrontation with the rich young ruler is probably the most cited episode in the Gospels on the topic of wealth. Unfortunately, it is often cited by people who want to use it as a cudgel in their own ideological war against the market economy and in favor of ce [...]

Thomas Jefferson, serving as the ambassador to France, and John Adams, ambassador to Britain, met in London with Sidi Haji Abdrahaman, the Dey of Tripoli’s ambassador to Britain, attempting to negotiate a peace treaty with the Islamic world of their time. Jefferson and Adams argued in vain that the United States was not at war with Islam. The following is from a March 28, 1786, letter addressed to [...]

In this third and final part of his interview with Canadian television program, Thrive, Gary points out several aspects of how most modern prophetic teaching doesn’t fit with what the Bible actually says. In Matthew’s gospel we read about “those days which were before the flood” and “the day that Noah entered the ark” (Matt. 24:38). Similarly, there were days before the coming of the Son of [...]
