The Gary DeMar Podcast

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 82 Gary continues his overview of biblical eschatology by refuting current speculation about the "prophecy of Elam." The OT reference to Elam does not begin (or end) in Jeremiah 49 and there is much to say about how this is fulfilled in the New Testament, not in modern-day "wars and rumors of wars."

Gary introduces a two-part discussion about all the recent speculation and finding biblical "proof" that the current Iran invasion is fulfilling Bible prophecy. Gary gives an overview about how Jesus viewed the end times, the events He said to watch for, and who would be involved.

Gary responds to a Facebook reel from a "pastor" in clerical garb defending abortion. Despite using a Bible verse to "prove" his point, this minister is not teaching truth about what the Bible actually teaches about life in the womb.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 81 You've probably heard it said that the Gospel going out into all the world is a sign that Jesus' second coming is near. The spreading of the Gospel is a good and necessary thing, in fact, Jesus commands it. However, it is not a sign of the coming end times, because the prophesied event from Matthew 24 has already happened.

Gary invites Kim Burgess back to the podcast to conclude his series on the resurrection and 1 Corinthians 15. In this final episode, Kim goes through several verses in the New Testament to help make his point about what it means to be "alive in spirit" and what Paul is talking about when he says we will be given a "spiritual body."

Gary gives an update on what he's been working on lately, and responds to an article about the antichrist by Jase Robertson. Gary points out that too often Christians read the Bible as if it was written yesterday, rather than thousands of years ago in a completely different historical context. It's "Bob Beamon Exegesis," which Gary also explains.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 80 Gary responds to a Facebook video by an individual claiming that the rapture and the end times are very "soon" to begin. The video asks good questions, but seems to overlook the fact that the same audience Jesus is addressing in the first century is the same one that will see the things He discusses in Matthew 24.

Gary concludes his interview with Pastor Alex Gillan from the United Kingdom. The two discuss the NT's use of "earth-shaking" and "cosmic" language that sounds like the "end of the world." However, the OT also uses this type of language very often; it must be understood in context.

Gary is interviewed by UK Pastor Alex Gillan about biblical eschatology and fulfilled prophecy. Gary points out that every Christian is a preterist of some kind, because their faith depends on events that Jesus fulfilled—in the past. Past fulfillment is not a strange addition to Christianity; the Christian faith is founded upon past events being fulfilled.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 79 Gary responds to recent comments by individuals who claim that our modern days are fulfilling Daniel 9. Using the Bible (and Daniel 9 itself), Gary shows how this is not possible. So much of what these speculators say is based on assumptions that come from outside the Bible.

Gary uses a recent trip to a pizza restaurant (two actually) to teach a lesson about free-market economics. Governments should not be involved in what businesses offer (or don't offer) and how much money they make or charge. Customers will quickly let a business know the value of its decisions.

Gary discusses some of the logical consequences of the craziness being espoused by certain people lately. It is unreal how far people will go to hold on to a position that is untenable (at least to most reasonable people). Claiming that they are showing their "compassion" on one hand, they fall off the logic train on the other side.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 78 In 2 Peter 3, we read about "scoffers" or "mockers" coming in the last days. Some modern prophecy writers accuse preterists of being these "scoffers." Gary disputes this claim by using the Bible to interpret itself and also by recognizing the Bible's own timing of when the last days take place.

Gary continues his interview with artist Dan Riedel about his friendship with Dr. Cornelius Van Til. Far from being a cold academic, Dr. Van Til was a warm, caring individual that wanted to see people come to Christ. He was every bit as much an evangelist as he was a professor. He well understood that the end goal of apologetics was not to win an argument, but a human soul. Check out Dan's artwork here: http://danielhillriedel.com/

Gary interviews his long-time friend, Dan Riedel, who painted the artwork for the cover of the new book, The Objective Proof for Christianity. Dan knew Cornelius Van Til well and tells a few stories about his long relationship with the man. Get some of Dan's fantastic art for your home here: http://danielhillriedel.com/

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 77 Gary analyzes a clip from a teacher on Facebook claiming that God and Magog from Ezekiel 38-39 will soon be upon us. Pointing out first that the chronology of what this person is saying is all wrong, Gary continues to show how the Bible teaches that Gog and Magog is not a future event at all, but was fulfilled long ago.

Politicians constantly boast about how they are helping people. Whether it's free food, money, or anything else, they always claim to be helping the people who voted for them. Gary points out that an episode from The Twilight Zone reveals the complete scam of political, or other worldly, promises.

Gary discusses ICE, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. He explains when and why it began and what its jurisdiction and purpose is. He also reveals some lesser-known facts about how many illegal immigrants were deported under previous administrations. He also analyzes the "storming of churches" that is happening in Minnesota.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 76 Gary discusses Jesus' statement in Matthew 23:35 about Zechariah, son of Berechiah. There has been much speculation over the years about who is being spoken of here, especially since those listening to Jesus at the time were being accused of the crime.

Gary continues his discussion with Bob Cruickshank about the biblical usage of the word "antichrist." Modern speculations about particular people being the "antichrist" are off-base because they rarely use the actual biblical texts about antichrist in their speculations. They are wrong time and time again because they begin with false assumptions.
