The Gary DeMar Podcast

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 63 Gary continues his discussion of Matthew 23-25 with Darren Doane. The two discussed what is known as Jesus' Olivet Discourse a few years back, and this conversation picks up where they left off, continuing through Matthew 25. Many commentators see a break in the events of Matthew 24, with part of it being fulfilled in the first century and the rest being fulfilled in our future. Is this valid? This is only an excerpt from Part 4 of the series. All four parts of the discussion can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDoYkcngzFPgguXQ0r03fo-k5xRbeqL1v

Every Fourth of July, we celebrate the "birth of the United States," but this is not quite accurate. The nation of America was born much earlier in the colonies. Thirteen colonies with independent governments and intact constitutions were operating in 1776. Gary discusses the early history of the colonies, and how they founded their laws and constitutions on the Bible.

It has been announced that Gary and Doug Wilson will discuss eschatology in a three-hour event in Moscow, Idaho in early November. Gary discusses this opportunity as well as some of the critics voicing their opposition to it due to "platforming heresy." It is a tired play that has been done before.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 62 Gary explains why he spends so much time writing and talking about Bible prophecy—it's a worldview issue. He discusses some of his own personal history and the cultural climate of the last few decades that forced him to begin studying the topic. Worldviews are "package deals," which means what you believe about the future (as well as the past) affects what you do in the present.

Gary discusses Rep. Rosa DeLauro, who is now trying to teach how the Bible applies to everyday life, especially economics. Apparently, separation of church and state doesn't apply during times of government shutdowns. Rep. DeLauro mentions a few parts of the Bible, but never gives any context for what she is claiming the Bible is teaching about the poor.

Gary talks about the recent brokered peace deal by Trump between Israel and Hamas. The entire saga has been going on for nearly 1400 years and peace will never be lasting, because of the religious views of the Muslims. Gary provides a biblical, historical, and logical overview of the whole idea of trying to bring political peace while ignoring the religious aspect of the divide.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 61 Gary concludes his response to Amir Tsarfati about Israel being saved and God's promises to them. Amir's dispensationalism teaches a 2000-year gap (and counting) between what God promised and what is happening with Israel now. To make matters worse, Amir's beliefs also have a huge time of trouble and tribulation for the Jews.

Gary points out how much disagreement and confusion exists in popular media and Christian pastors about the future of Israel. The very prophetic system that most of them hold to teaches that the next thing on the prophecy clock for Israel is a terrible holocaust where two-thirds of them will be killed.

Gary points out that the mainstream media's obsession with the boogeyman of Christian Nationalism is a willful ignorance of Islamic Nationalism. Muslims have no problem admitting that their goal is total domination through conversion or submission. And yet, Leftists don't seem to be bothered by this and focus more on Christian Nationalists as the problem.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 60 Gary continues his response to Amir Tsarfati, who tried to take Kirk Cameron to task for comments he made about Israel. Gary shows how inconsistent, ahistorical, and unbiblical Tsarfati's view of Bible prophecy really is. It is nothing more than repackaged information from many other dispensational speculators over the last 50 years.
