When the sixteenth-century German Reformer Martin Luther “was called to defend his rejection of indulgences before the church and before the emperor, Luther, alone and in peril of his life, appealed to the authority of the Word of God. ‘Here I stand,’ he said; ‘I [...]

The first New Covenant [...]

I was invited to come on the show by David Shannon to discuss the new book American Vision published, The Great Debate: Does God Exist?, edited with commentary by Joshua Pillows. David Shannon, Toby Sumpter, and Gabe Rench were in the studio with me, along with a [...]

All five of the rapture positions dismiss the New Testament’s emphasis on the inauguration of the New Covenant and the Jerusalem above (Gal. 4:21–31). The writer to the Hebrews destroys the myth of a renewed covenant with earthly Jerusalem base [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant I received the following from a listener of my podcasts: “I started to listen to the podcasts of Mr. DeMar. Regarding whether the 3rd Temple will be rebuilt, he states there is nothing in the New Testament that mentions the temple will be rebuilt. That, I believe, is not true.” Let’s start with Daniel’s 70 weeks-of-years prophecy (490 yea [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary talks about a recent message delivered by Pastor Jack Hibbs to California pastors about legislation being proposed in their state. One way to keep Christians out of the public arena, especially in the realm of politics, is to claim that there is a separation between Church and State. The argument is based on the assumption that in bi [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant After a quick update of current projects, Gary discusses some Facebook craziness about weather patterns and the end times. A general societal pessimism fills speculation about our future. Christian influence seems to be shrinking due to infighting among rival Christian groups. A general malaise hovers over the educational establishment. E [...]

It’s been said that necessity is the mother of invention. The “gap” that has been placed between the sixty-ninth and seventieth weeks of Daniel’s prophecy w [...]

This book presents the many different end time views held today, without promoting any one in particular, allowing the reader to be the judge. It provides scriptural evidence as well as quotes from proponents of each position and clearly explains not only WHAT they [...]

The New Testament describes the nearness of the Lord’s coming and the “end of all things,” that is, the end of the distinctly Jewish era with the shadows of the Old Covenant. [...]

Hal Lindsey continued to make predictions even after his failed 1948 (Israel’s nationhood) + 40 (the number of years that determine a generation) = 1988 (when the rapture would take place) failed miserably. A few years before his death in 2024, he said this about earthquakes and the last days: As we grow closer to the end of this Age of Grace, it may become harder and harder to find places that ar [...]

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 51 Gary answers a commenter who claims that 2 Thessalonians 2 refers to the need for a rebuilt (third) temple in our future. God’s presence was a sign of blessing because of Israel’s special covenantal status (Isa. 55:3; Jer. 1:19) and His departure was a sign of judgment, neither of which were physical. For the nations, God’s presence was a sign of judg [...]

A popular belief that ends up disengaging Christians from applying God’s Word to every area of life in a way that would realize long-term change is the belief that we are at the point in history that the end is near. We’re repeatedly told that the world is in such bad shape that our only hope is the “rapture of the church” or some other end-time event that is always on the immediate horizon. [...]

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 50 Gary discusses a short video clip by John MacArthur regarding the chronology of the book of Revelation. Perhaps the leading interpretive principle for understanding any document can be summarized in three words: “Context. Context. Context.” Before we arrive at Revelation 1:7 upon opening John’s book, we must pass through verses 1 and 3. And as we have [...]

Gary answers a question that we get often: “If so much of the New Testament is fulfilled, now what do we do?” In the book The 1980’s: Countdown to Armageddon, prophecy writer Hal Lindsey wrote, “The decade of the 1980’s could very well be the last decade of history as we know it.” How long and wrong can prophetic speculation go on before a cultural collapse takes place? What a person b [...]

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 49 Gary responds to a challenge issued to him on Facebook about the great tribulation and the “end times.” St. Paul tells Timothy, “If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ” (I Timothy 4:6). The members of Timothy’s congregation needed to know about what would take place in th [...]

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 48 Gary deals with recent claims of what or who the “antichrist” is and how 666 fits in. The antichrist of today’s speculative theology combines the characteristics of Daniel’s “prince who is to come” and other features from the book of Daniel (9:26; 7:7-8, 19-26; 8:23-25); elements from Matthew and Daniel’s “abomination of desolation” (Matt.

Gary discusses a few “contradictions” commonly pointed out by critics. The Bible is literature. God speaks to us in words and themes that can be understood. Not all literature can be interpreted in the same way. Some will claim that the Bible must be interpreted literally. But what does that mean? There are always caveats. Does a dragon really mean a dragon? Should you really pluck out [...]

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 47 Gary responds to a recent video by end-times speculator Jonathan Cahn about how we are “watching prophecy unfold before our eyes.” Reading modern-day concepts, whether scientific, geographical, or academic, back into the Bible can cause insurmountable interpretive problems. For example, how many times have you heard a minister claim that t [...]
