The Prophesied Slaughter of Israel

The Prophesied Slaughter of Israel

Gary points out how much disagreement and confusion exists in popular media and Christian pastors about the future of Israel. The whole nation of Israel never was and never will be elected. It’s only the remnant that will be saved: “Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, ‘THOUGH THE NUMBER OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL BE LIKE THE SAND OF THE SEA, IT IS THE REMNANT THAT WILL BE SAVED’” (Rom. 9:27). [...]

North Korean Women and “Capitalist” Breast Implants

North Korean Women and “Capitalist” Breast Implants

Don’t ever say, “It will never happen here.” As bizarre as the following is, the rudiments of this new law are already operating in principle in the United States: North Korea has initiated a harsh crackdown on women suspected of having “capitalist” breast implants, labelling such cosmetic procedures as “un-socialist” and “bourgeois”, The Telegraph reported. The country’s security services are con [...]

Christian, Islamic, or Secular Nationalism?

Christian, Islamic, or Secular Nationalism?

Gary points out that the mainstream media’s obsession with the boogeyman of Christian Nationalism is a willful ignorance of Islamic Nationalism. Whoever claims sovereignty expects his subjects to govern his realm in terms of his law and name. Sovereignty, therefore, brings with it the inevitability of dominion, the power of governing and controlling all things. Noah Webster, in his American [...]

Episode 60: Amir Tsarfati and the Purpose of Israel

Episode 60: Amir Tsarfati and the Purpose of Israel

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 60 Gary continues his response to Amir Tsarfati, who tried to take Kirk Cameron to task for comments he made about Israel. The restoration of Israel involved a transformation or change in the form that Israel was to take under the coming New Covenant order. In Episode 7, we looked at passages like Isaiah 49:5-6, Acts 15:16-17, and Romans 15:8-13 where th [...]

“Bubble Boy” Prophecy Speculation on YouTube

“Bubble Boy” Prophecy Speculation on YouTube

Facebook and YouTube are filled with amateur prophecy pundits who are out of touch with failed prophecy claims going back many centuries. It worsened with the advent of dispensational premillennialism and its various incarnations. Even so, it’s hard for many Christians to reason outside the dispensational bubble. It’s all they’ve heard or known. The dispensational bubble is their protective home. [...]

Answering Questions Leads to More Questions

Answering Questions Leads to More Questions

Gary is interviewed by Rick Welch about the 3Q Controversy and how his podcast played a role in it. I’m not ashamed to admit that most of my work is “borrowed” from what many people have researched and published over the centuries. What follows will show that not everyone agrees with the interpretation that Matthew 16:27 refers to a future physical coming of Jesus. To prove this point, I suggest y [...]

The Ultimate Source for Morality and Everything Else

The Ultimate Source for Morality and Everything Else

The following is my response to someone from Australia on the topic of “free speech.” I pointed out that Australia does not have a provision in its Constitution for “freedom of speech.” SB: We have more freedom than the US. Look it up kid. Also, the Bible isn’t Western. It is an adopted Eastern religion. Hypocrites. GD: The Bible not being “western” is irrelevant. In addition, I’m not a “kid.” [...]

You Can't Outrun the Problems

You Can't Outrun the Problems

Gary discusses celebrities like Rosie O’Donnell, Robin Wright, and Ryan Gosling who have decided to move away from the United States for political reasons. Jesus told His early disciples that they would be “brought before governors and kings for His sake” (Matt. 10:18), and they were as the book of Acts makes clear. The apostle Paul declared, “Woe is me if I do not preach the gospel” (1 Cor. [...]

Episode 59: Responding to Amir Tsarfati's Response to Kirk Cameron

Episode 59: Responding to Amir Tsarfati's Response to Kirk Cameron

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 59 Gary responds to a recent video by Amir Tsarfati in response to something posted by Kirk Cameron. It’s obvious from the Bible that God is not going to restore every “physical seed of Abraham.” If God were going to do that, then why bother with the gospel? Paul does not mean by “in this way all Israel will be saved” (Rom. 11:26) that every Jew without [...]

George Washington and the Treaty of Tripoli

George Washington and the Treaty of Tripoli

I’ve noticed some posts on Facebook about America’s Christian history. Some people dispute the influence that Christianity had on the founding and development of our nation. Fact-checkers should do some fact-checking. There were only a few atheists among our nation’s founders, before and after 1787, when the Constitution was first drafted. Even Thomas Paine, the author of Common Sense, was not an [...]

A Great Cultural Shift

A Great Cultural Shift

Gary discusses recent news stories and responses to the Charlie Kirk assassination. The question of authority becomes extremely important and practical when we start dealing with life’s most basic issues. Everyday living requires that we make a multitude of decisions. How does one choose between two or more ethical opinions? Without a basis for authority, a standard of authority, the determination [...]

Closing Our Eyes to What’s Going On Will Not Make It Go Away

Closing Our Eyes to What’s Going On Will Not Make It Go Away

Have you noticed that when dogs are being disciplined for something they’ve done, some of them close their eyes or attempt to slink away and hide, as if their response is going to change the unpleasant outcome? Well, we’re not dogs. Closing our eyes to what’s happening in this world only allows those creating the havoc to be even more emboldened. Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths Myths, Lies, and Half- [...]

Don't Get Discouraged

Don't Get Discouraged

Gary addresses the current lack of call to order coming from American pulpits. America could be reduced to a burned out cinder, yet God’s Church will still go on. Even world-wide disasters (plagues and world wars) did not mark “the end.” As history shows, there have been many who have been premature in writing the obituary of the Church and Christian civilization. The doctrine of the Church is big [...]

Episode 58: The Last Days and the Murder of Charlie Kirk

Episode 58: The Last Days and the Murder of Charlie Kirk

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 58 Many Christians are claiming that the assassination of Charlie Kirk is yet another sign that the “last days” are upon us. We have heard all of this before. In fact, in 1988, we were assured that the rapture would occur sometime in a three-day period in September of that year. “But by sunset Tuesday [September 13, 1988], the end of the 48-h [...]

Church History Might Not Be On Your Side

Church History Might Not Be On Your Side

Much of the confusion and questioning of today about eschatology arises from the fact that the Church did not make a distinction between passages related to (1) the “this generation” AD 70 coming of Jesus (Matt. 24:30; 26:64) and what is described (2) as a yet future second physical coming of Jesus. (See my “Slam Dunk” article). The Nicene Creed states, “And He shall come again with glory to judge [...]

You Can't Escape It

You Can't Escape It

Gary discusses pastors and politics and answers a Facebook commenter named “Missionary Larry.” Some have abused Jesus’ name and deeds in their attempts to bring about a “better society.” Jesus has been portrayed as a social revolutionary, the purveyor of a “liberation theology” which is little more than Karl Marx dressed in religious garb. Because of the way Christ’s redemptive message [...]

Should Pastors Address the Assassination of Charlie Kirk?

Should Pastors Address the Assassination of Charlie Kirk?

The Charlie Kirk assassination has shaken the world. There have been vigils in countries like Great Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Poland, and Australia. Additional ones are planned for the US. Are there any lessons? How should the church respond? Is what happened to Charlie Kirk a teaching moment? I saw this: The following quotation is from the Preface to my book God and Government. It’s attrib [...]

The Separation of Church and Hate

The Separation of Church and Hate

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant 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. While Jesus is often looked upon as a positive example of why Christians should not be involved in social issues, the Pharisees are seen as a negative example for why Christians s [...]

Episode 57: Putting the Pre-Trib Rapture on the Witness Stand

Episode 57: Putting the Pre-Trib Rapture on the Witness Stand

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary answers a listener question about Bible prophecy. If the purpose of Revelation was to demonstrate that the events of the book were a prophetic certainty that could occur at any time, John could have been told to write, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His bond-servants the things which must take place.” Thi [...]

The Murder of Charlie Kirk and the Left’s Justification of Violence

The Murder of Charlie Kirk and the Left’s Justification of Violence

The day before the murder of Charlie Kirk, I received the book Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person’s Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds by John Fugelsang. His attacks are misplaced. The actual haters are on the Left, with too many examples to list here. For Fugelsang, “hate” is disagreeing with Leftist ideology and a supposed misuse of [...]
