During the Symposium, James Hamilton said if the destruction of Jerusalem was the fulfillment of the Olivet Discourse, then why didn’t the biblical writers comment about the subject after the event? The answer is quite simple: The New Testament books were wri [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here For decades, secularists have told us that what certain countries need is democracy. What if a country votes to make Sharia law the law of the land? Once power is secured through the democratic process, the door is often shut to exclude those who might challenge the status quo. American politicians have used the democratic process, through promise [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Gary answers a listener question about a Greek word used in Matthew 25:5, Hebrews 10:37, and in the Septuagint in Habakkuk 2:3. In Revelation 1:1, John was shown “the things which must shortly take place.” Why must they “shortly take place? Because the reader is told “the time is near” (Rev. 1:3). Jesus defines “near” to mean “at the door” (Matt. [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 93 Gary takes a closer look at Acts 1:11, which is often pointed to as proof that Jesus will return exactly as He left during the Ascension. At His trial, Jesus told Caiaphas the high priest and the Sanhedrin that they would see “the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power and coming on the clouds [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Katy Tur and an MS NOW panel show that ignorance of our nation’s history is rampant. We’re coming up on July 4th, celebrating the Declaration of Independence in its 250th year. Apparently, some people have never read the Declaration of Independence. Let’s not forget that it’s not a standalone document. The Constitution references it: “done in Conv [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Gary discusses the providential history of his life after high school and college. The War of the Worlds depicts a clash between very alien societies—one planetary world hell-bent on destroying another. The fictionalized Martian attack was relentless. Cobra-like periscopes emitted pulverizing beams of energy that ravaged the countryside. The sleek [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Imagine yourself hearing or reading the New Testament gospels and letters for the first time as they circulated throughout the Roman Empire. Would anyone in those days have constructed the prophetic wild child that passes for biblical eschatology today with gaps between a number like 70, redefining Greek words like “near” and “shortly” by quoting [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here In the conclusion of this conference talk, Gary discusses the worldview implications of eschatology and why they’re so important. The ungodly are involved in a game of self-deception, so that even they are “being deceived” when they think their worldview will ultimately prevail. We also must remember the previous words of Paul: “But they wil [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 92 Gary responds to an article titled “Major Signs That the End of Life as We Know It is Near.” It’s no wonder that Jesus applied the judgment against Babylon (Isa. 13; Matt. 24:29) to [His own] generation (Matt. 24:34). Peter described that generation as “this perverse generation” (Acts 2:40 [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here What is the focus of redemptive history? Is it Jesus or the modern state of Israel? This is not a trick question. Every Christian would say Jesus is the focus and center of redemptive history. Our calendars used to use BC for Before Christ and AD for Anno Domini, that is, “the Year of our Lord.” Our nation’s Constitution affirms this in words just [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here In this first part of a conference talk, Gary discusses the worldview implications of eschatology and why they’re so important. While it is true there is an attempt by the ungodly to dominate culture, and some are successful for a season, the fact is, that over time “they will not make further progress” (2 Timothy 3:9); their fling with ungo [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Exploiting race for political and financial advantage has a long history. Black “leaders” like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton made their living by promoting black victimhood and white guilt. Jackson spent his career shaking down big-name corporations with threats and boycotts if they did not do his bidding in the name of “racial justice.” Rush Limb [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
