Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 38 Gary discusses Revelation 20 with his friend Robert Cruickshank at the recent Berean Bible Conference. We are not told that “with the Lord one day is a thousand years.” Rather, “one day is as a thousand years.” Are dispensationalists willing to admit that the thousand years of Revelation 20 can be reduced to a single day, week, year, or generation? Wi [...]

The results of a 35-year study about health are in. If you want to remain healthy, you need to “follow five simple rules—eat well, work out, drink less, keep [your] weight down and never smoke.” It took 35 years to figure this out? We’ve always known that lifestyle, diet, exercise and not smoking enhance health. I wonder how much money was spent on this study over a 35-year period. Where was DOGE [...]

Back for a third time, Gary highlights a few of his favorite “Memes of the Week.” Evidences do not have the ability to “speak.” The fossil record, looked at by evolutionists as incontrovertible proof that their position is true, must be interpreted. “Unfortunately, fossils do not come with labels reading, ‘I am an ancestor of man,’ ‘I am the ancestor of the chimpanzee,’ or ‘My line bec [...]

Keying Teslas and firebombing Tesla dealerships because you disagree with certain governmental actions is not legitimate resistance, especially since these actions are levelled against private property. Under what circumstances and conditions is it morally viable to resist a civil government? Dr. Gary North sets up a possible scenario. It is 1942. The Nazis who control your nation militarily have [...]

Gary compares the two approaches to funding between Hillsdale College and Harvard. Contrary opinions regarding the facts are not considered. The State has determined what the standard will be to interpret the facts. The humanists have understood this for a long time, so they made it their business to capture the robes of civil government so they could control the means of perpetuating their worldv [...]

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 37 Gary discusses common misunderstandings of Bible prophecy based on over-literal interpretations and misreadings of the Old Testament. There is a long history of forcing prophetic texts from Scripture to fit current events, and there is also a long history of abject failure. For example, John Gill (1697-1771) interpreted the locusts as the main competi [...]

This is Part Two. To read Part One, click here. In order to get the full context of the Parable of the Great Banquet, it is important to read both Luke’s and Matthew’s version (Mt. 22:1–14). In Matthew, the great banquet is actually a wedding feast given on the occasion of the marriage of the king’s son. Matthew’s placement of this parable is interesting because it immediately follows Jesus’ telli [...]

After discussing an issue that caused his Facebook page to be eliminated, Gary discusses the craziness coming from leftist Democrats about Jesus and immigration. One of the most bizarre arguments for “Jesus was a socialist” comes from people who say, “Jesus healed and fed people for free; therefore, He was a socialist.” When governments can feed people for free by multiplying loaves and fishes, he [...]

When is a dinner invitation more than a meal? When it’s a kingdom banquet. In Luke 14:12–24, Jesus tells what modern Bibles refer to as “The Parable of the Great Banquet.” This familiar parable, which tells the tale of a man giving a great banquet is not simply a general story about morality. It is also not about who to invite to your dinner parties. This parable is about who will eat bread in the [...]

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 36 Gary discusses the fact that ALL Christians are preterists, at least to some degree. If you believe the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a historical fact—you are a preterist. A preterist is someone who believes that certain prophecies have been fulfilled, that is, their fulfillment is in the past. For example, Floyd Hamilton, w [...]

There has been considerable debate over the best way to interpret the three-days and three-nights language of Matthew 12:40, either as three 24-hour days of exactly 72 hours or parts of three days and three nights. Because you can’t get three full days if the count begins on Friday, some interpreters have argued for a two-Sabbath approach and a crucifixion on Wednesday and a resurrection on Saturd [...]

Gary concludes his response to a recent video discussion about his eschatological views. What does the New Testament say about when Jesus would come to judge the living and the dead? Jesus’ ascension and session are historical facts as are the other creedal statements. He came “again with glory to judge the living and the dead.” Did Jesus come “again” before that first-century generation passed aw [...]

The debate over eschatology continues, although there are some who argue there is no debate except on some minor points. We’re told the fundamentals have been settled even when there is still so much disagreement about the millennium, five different rapture positions, whether there is something called “the rapture of the church,” Jesus coming for His saints and Jesus coming with His saints, whethe [...]

Many religious cults claim to believe the Bible and biblical inerrancy. A recent video discussion that included Sam Frost and Andrew Sandlin raised the question about how Gary would answer cults using only the Bible. When Jesus taught he taught with authority and not as one who needed to depend upon the opinions of others (Matt. 7:29). So also we who teach the Word of Christ should not be compelle [...]

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 35 Gary gives an overview of the book of Revelation and helps readers to put the confusing book into perspective. Revelation is the most “Biblical” book in the Bible. St. John quotes hundreds of passages from the Old Testament, often with subtle allusions to little-known religious rituals of the Hebrew people. In order to understand Revelatio [...]

As a boy, I was fascinated with inventors and their inventions. Not just in the invention but the process. How did they do it? Why didn’t they give up after so many failures? Edison’s attempt to find the right filament for his incandescent light was exhausting. He reportedly said, “I have not failed 10,000 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not w [...]

Gary brings back “Memes of the Week.” Meme creators find interesting ways to communicate complicated topics in (often) humorous ways. Gary highlights a few of his most recent favorites. The facts are not what’s really at stake, although it will sometimes seem like they are. Too often, we are made to believe that if we could just marshal better historical evidence, or better scientific [...]

Sam Frost used to be a full preterist. He published articles and books defending the full preterist worldview while he was at Whitefield Theological Seminary under the tutelage of Ken Talbot. In his book Misplaced Hope, Frost wrote that he owed Ken “large thanks. Although he may not be in agreement with my conclusions [about Sam’s views about preterism], he nonetheless has inspired my undertaking [...]

Gary responds to recent criticism that resurrects the “Three Questions Controversy” from 2023 and accuses Gary of promoting “full preterism.” KIM: In general terms, the end-end is that “the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (Is. 11:9, Hab. 2:14) or: All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, an [...]

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 34 Gary responds to a video that critiques a preterist interpretation of Matthew 24. The critique gives the impression that 1) a preterist interpretation is “new” (it’s not); and 2) that it’s not biblical (it is). Jesus appropriated language from Ezekiel and applied it to the prophesied coming judgment on Jerusalem that would take [...]
