The Nation of Israel Under the Microscope
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 8. Gary discusses the idea put forth by nearly all modern pop prophecy writers that Israel becoming a nation again in 1948 is a "major prophetic sign" of the "end times." There is no verse for this supposed hermeneutical key, but this doesn't stop authors and preachers from continually repeating it. Let's be Bereans and "see if this is so."

Watching from the sidelines is not an option. Which worldview will ultimately prevail? Are you cooking the goose of the anti-Christians or are they cooking yours? Part Two of Two.

Survival of the Fittest
Gary concludes his interview with Brett Prieto about worldviews and morality. As he always does, Gary brings in pop culture and television and movies to help make his point about the need for an authoritative standard (a Lawgiver) in order to define right and wrong. Many claim to be moral and ethical without any actual basis for it.

Borrowed Moral Capital
This is part one of an interview by Brett Prieto about Gary's book, Why It Might Be OK to Eat Your Neighbor. Gary points out the impossibility of a materialist worldview to define things like love or morality. Most atheists don't even realize the problem that they are "borrowing" morality from the Christian worldview in order to prop up their own lack of one.

The Rapture Under the Microscope
Dive into a fascinating discussion about the Rapture, sparked by a viral Facebook clip claiming biblical proof. The analysis of Revelation 3:10 and 1 Thessalonians 1:10 encourages listeners to appreciate the Greek language and historical context. The conversation challenges mainstream views and urges a deeper examination of scripture. As they explore divine wrath and redemption, the podcast sheds light on the significance of context during the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, offering fresh insights on eschatology.

MAGA vs the DC Uniparty
Gary discusses MAGA, Trump, and the Washington DC political machine. The reason why the uniparty can exist at all is because Americans (and many Christians) have disconnected from truth and history and care more about what vapid celebrities shout into the media echo chamber. It's not a difficult equation: if you allow it to happen without consequences, you will get more of it (think assassination attempts).

You're Paying for All of It
Gary discusses the economic nonsense being discussed and "promised" by a certain presidential campaign. Socialists breed envy and what Herbert Schlossberg called "ressentiment" (see Idols for Destruction pp. 51-54) by encouraging voters to go after the "rich" and big businesses. This tactic ultimately hurts the very people is claims to help by causing both higher taxes and prices. Read Leonard Read's important article "I, Pencil" here: https://fee.org/ebooks/i-pencil/

Jesus' 'Soon' Coming Under the Microscope
Gary responds to recent comments made by Glenn Beck on Tucker Carlson's national tour. Beck makes claims about the end times that he hasn't studied or given thought about the implications. If we are "close" to the end, which is a prophetic inevitability, there is nothing we can do about it. The historical context must be considered to properly understand the biblical text.
