Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope: Episode 6 Gary responds to a clip on Facebook that claims to “prove” the Rapture with two Bible verses. If Revelation 3:10 is the passage that teaches that Christians won’t go through a future seven-year tribulation period, then it needs to be studied carefully. Can it be shown that John being told to “Come up here…” (4:1) is a type of rapture that [...]

Pro-killing unborn children, supporting genital mutilation of children via transgenderism, and defending an array of gender definitions and the courts to enforce them have become common practices in our day.

Help us turn $10K into $20K! Gary discusses MAGA, Trump, and the Washington DC political machine. Politics is one biblical sphere of God’s delegated temporal governments; family and church governments are two others. Politics (civil government) has a major impact on our lives. It’s the Christian’s duty to be involved, if only to keep the State from imposing its will over us and oppressing the chur [...]
Help us turn $10K into $20K! Dr. Jim Garlow has a great way of answering resistance to politics among Christians: “I’m not political, I’m Biblical, but you don’t recognize it. I’m governmental, and Biblical because God is. “Everybody understands that the Bible speaks to the personal issues of life, nobody argues that; everybody understands that the Bible speaks to the family issues of life, nobody [...]
Gary discusses the economic envy and what is being “promised” by a certain presidential campaign. God owns everything, yet He is not tempted by evil (James 1:13), for He is righteous. The fact that a rich man forsakes God is not due to his riches “seducing” him, but to his own evil heart. You could as easily say that the poor man’s lack of possessions “seduces&r [...]
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope: Episode 5 Gary responds to recent comments made by Glenn Beck on Tucker Carlson’s national tour. The literal meaning of Scripture “embraces the normal, everyday, common understanding of the terms of the Bible. Words are given the meaning they normally have in common communication.” The interpreter should be mindful of the “historical setting.” Sentences o [...]
Help us turn $10K into $20K! The secular press wants to interview me. I should say “wanted to interview” me. I said no. Here’s the first email I received: I’m a journalist at ProPublica, and I’m starting to research stories about the influence of faith on the electorate this year. I’d be very grateful to chat with Mr. DeMar, given his expertise, about some of his thoughts for what we might expect [...]
Help us turn $10K into $20K! Gary discusses the economic concept of tradeoffs. Thomas Sowell wrote about this years ago and it’s something that liberals do not understand. Because man is created in God’s image, he is an innately religious being: every aspect of his life will reflect his relationship to God. Man’s culture, therefore, is necessarily religious and covenantal, as Hen [...]
Many Christians gave up on politics after Ronald Reagan’s election. Maybe they thought he would bring in the millennium or something close to it. And when George H. W. Bush got elected, Bill Clinton got elected twice, and George W. Bush turned out to be a huge disappointment, hopelessness set in. All that work, and for what? Christians experiencing political remorse are suffering from a faul [...]
Help us turn $10K into $20K! Gary discusses the film, The Omega Man, and modern climate armageddonists claiming that the “end is near” due to the use of fossil fuels. The materialists are still trying to prove that God does not exist. If they could only find another highly evolved civilization among the multitude of unexplored galaxies, then such a discovery would prove that no god is [...]
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope: Episode 4 Gary puts Matthew 24, or what is commonly called Jesus’ Olivet Discourse, under the microscope. The question before us is simple: Does the Olivet Discourse (Matt. 24; Mark 13; and Luke 21) describe signs that were fulfilled in (1) events leading up to and including the destruction of the temple in AD 70, (2) a future generation, (3) a past gener [...]
Help us turn $10K into $20K! Some people on Facebook responded to my previous article “New Covenant Theology and God’s Law” that posted September 3, 2024. Here’s one example: We have Gods law written on our hearts. We do not need ministry of death and condemnation brought by tablets of stone. Where there is law, sin multiplies. We know what is good and what is wrong. We feel it within. All of us. [...]
Help us turn $10K into $20K! On today’s podcast, Gary answers a commenter on Facebook that doesn’t know much about history, or at least about U.S. Constitutional history. Bureaucracy is the rule or manipulation of a people by non-elected officials and civil servants. As a civil government grows and assumes additional governing responsibilities, it must appoint governing officials to im [...]
There are numerous critics of the application of God’s law found in the Old Testament as a standard of righteousness in the New Testament. It seems that anyone who advocates such a position has a misunderstanding of fulfillment. It’s a common charge that has been answered numerous times. The letter to the Hebrews describes in detail what laws from the Old Covenant no longer apply, and there isn’t [...]
Gary answers two listener questions, one about the Bible itself and another about sovereign citizenship. We do not defend the Christian faith as a series of separate propositions. We defend the whole package. Men are in sin. God in His grace has pursued man and has provided a revelation of himself. And what we are defending is the entire Bible. There is no way around it. And in the Bible, Jesus is [...]
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope: Episode 3 On this third episode of Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope, Gary continues his study of 2 Thessalonians 2 and the “man of lawlessness.” II. The temple A. The temple was still standing when Paul wrote his letters to the Thessalonians. “[T]he hearer would naturally think of the Jerusalem temple, which would stand for two decades more.” B. [...]
Help us turn $10K into $20K! I was on a radio show some years ago talking about, naturally, Bible prophecy. I woman called in and claimed that the land promises made to Israel had not been fulfilled. There wasn’t any more time on air to discuss the claim, but I took her call at the close of the show. I took her to Joshua 21 and read the following: Thus, the Lord gave to Israel all the land that he [...]
Help us turn $10K into $20K! Gary discusses pro-abortion nonsense being spoken by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. The topic of abortion has become an absolute dividing line in today’s political wars. The Democratic Party believes a woman should have the legal right to kill her unborn baby anytime up to conception on the grounds of “mental health.” A new Virginia law includes the following that wou [...]

Gary responds to a few recent news topics, especially people saying Christians shouldn’t be involved in the Olympics because it was started by pagans. Paul’s Athenian encounter on Mars Hill (Acts 17) is quite modern. All the elements of skepticism, ignorance, and arrogance are present today among those who worship the same ancient idols dressed up with new religious slogans. Just like in Pau [...]
