Israel as the Fig Tree Under the Microscope
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 13 Gary discusses a popular interpretation by modern prophecy writers and pastors about Israel being the "fig tree" spoken of by Jesus in the NT. Usually, it is interpreted as Israel "becoming a nation again" in 1948. Unfortunately for them, the math, the biblical data, and Jesus' own words do not confirm this strained interpretation.

Billionaires, the Economy, and Abortion
Two huge topics that defined the Harris/Walz platform were taxing rich people and the right to abortion. Gary points out how both of these are misrepresented to appeal to uninformed voters. Emotional appeals, even from Billy Graham's granddaughter, are used to divert people from the real truth of every matter.

Not to Vote is Still a Vote
Many Christians are saying that they won't vote because neither candidate appeals to them. Not voting is still a vote, and these same Christians will have to live in the world that results from whichever candidate wins. Both political parties are using their constituents and this is a problem. Things need to be done, but ignoring the problem is not a viable solution.

Discussing Bible Prophecy With My 11-Year-Old Granddaughter
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 12 Gary does a short Bible study with his granddaughter, who had a few questions about Mark 13 and Jesus' coming. Are there two comings mentioned in this chapter (the Olivet Discourse) and if so, how do we know what verses apply to which coming?

Mass Election Hysteria
Gary discusses a few of the nonsensical claims being trotted out by leftists about the election. It's difficult to take any of it seriously, and yet it's all being said with a straight face. It's a reminder that Christians MUST be involved if only to keep things somewhat rational.

Going Back to Find the Way Forward
Gary interviews author Mike D'Virgilio about his book, Going Back To Find the Way Forward. Mike has a lot in common with Gary and has learned very practical ways to get involved to make a difference far beyond simply voting and complaining (as many conservatives seem to hope will make a difference).

Putting It All Together
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 11 Gary gives a quick lesson on how to do biblical hermeneutics, which simply means how interpret the text. Most Christians are never taught how to read the Bible for themselves or how to use basic Bible tools. This is unfortunate and usually means Christians must depend on others to tell them what the Bible says.

The Former Shock Jock as Liberal Political Tool
Gary discusses a few recent news items about the political hot-potato of abortion, or more accurately, the murder of pre-born children. Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, and other Republicans have trouble answering questions about this topic due to their own political compromise with it. Kamala Harris' recent interview with supposed shock-jock and free-thinker Howard Stern is the ultimate example of the lack of logic being presented by abortion advocates.

Christians, Politics, and the Apostle Paul
One from the archives, almost exactly three years ago. The more things change, they more they don't. Political liberals are more than willing to use every means necessary to get their message out, even breaking tax laws. Conservatives and Christians seldom have this boldness. In fact, many Christians don't even see the reason to be involved. The Apostle Paul would not agree.
