The Gary DeMar Podcast

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 87 Gary responds to a recent bestselling book by author John Bevere called "The King is Coming." While he makes several good points in his book, Bevere also falls for the "chicken little theology" that claims the sky is falling and Jesus is coming "any day now." Gary clears the confusion by pointing to what the Bible itself actually says.

In this second part of his recent interview on a Canadian television show, Gary continues the conversation by taking a closer look at the context of the New Testament. Being a Berean means questioning popular assumptions to "see if these things are so." A careful and honest study must be made to determine whether the time markers in the New Testament point to a distant future—or to a fulfillment tied to the first-century audience.

In this first part of his recent three-part interview on the Canadian television show, Thrive, Gary recounts his own history with Bible prophecy. Most Christians have never heard any other view of Bible prophecy than the popular Christian bookstore version, and the hosts of this show wanted that to change for their audience.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 86 Gary responds to another video by Joel Richardson and his claims about the "abomination of desolation." Gary walks through the Bible and shows what it actually teaches about this "abomination" and where it was fulfilled in the past, not the future. A temple must exist for this prophecy to happen, which can't make it relevant to today. But wait, the temple will be rebuilt...

Gary interviews Ray Moore with Exodus Mandate about homeschooling, Christian schools, and a debate that Ray did over America's Christian history. Ray is a major proponent of getting Christians to leave public schools and his organization provides support and educational materials to aid in the transition once parents decide to educate at home or even start a Christian school in their area.

Gary responds to an interview with author Jerry Jenkins of Left Behind fame. Jenkins claims that the Bible tells us that time means something different to God than it means to us, yet he still makes the claim that the end times are "probably soon" to happen.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 85 Gary responds to a recent video from Joel Richardson where he claims to refute preterism. Richardson mentions Gary directly and gives false information about what he believes. Besides that, Richardson's primary claim to refute preterism actually ends up doing the exact opposite when understood in context.

The conclusion of Gary's interview with Alex Bernardo of The Protestant Libertarian Podcast. Gary gives a short overview of some of the most misunderstood aspects of biblical prophecy, including the "antichrist" and the "man of lawlessness." The remainder of the discussion focuses on economics and what the Bible has to say about money.

In this first half of his recent appearance with Alex Bernardo of The Protestant Libertarian Podcast, Gary discusses some of his own personal history and how he became interested in how the Bible is related to both economics and eschatology. The two topics are much more intertwined than one might think.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 84 Gary comments on a recent interview that Tucker Carlson had with Carrie Prejean Boller about the nation of Israel. Boller makes very good points about the modern state of Israel not being the same as the biblical nation of Israel. It's also an opportunity to discuss another Tucker interview, one with the US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee.

Gary responds to the bizarre statements being made by self-proclaimed Christian, seminary student, and potential U.S. senator, James Talarico. He has been on The Joe Rogan Podcast and recently defeated Jasmine Crockett in a primary. His theological statements are as wacky and unbiblical as his politics.

Gary discusses an article on the Front Page Magazine website about the current state of craziness in western culture. Could all the political nonsense and cultural insanity be signals of the end of western civilization? If so, what should be the response of concerned Christians? We can either survive or commit suicide—sink or swim—by using what we have at our disposal.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 83 Gary responds to a Facebook video where an individual claims that the Gospel must be preached in the "whole world" before the end comes. This promise comes from Matthew 24:14 and is constrained by the timeframe of Matthew 24:34. Gary points out that the phrase doesn't mean the entire world as we know it today, as well as several verses proving that the Gospel was preached "in all the world" before that first-century generation came to pass.

Gary answers a very often-asked question these days about Israel's role in the biblical "end times." It will come as no surprise to any regular listener, but Gary explains why modern-day Israel does not have any prophetic significance, including their current "wars and rumors of wars."

Two years ago, Gary recorded this podcast about a relatively unknown politician in Texas. He has recently become more well known. James Talarico claims to be a Christian and has said a number of things publicly that actually pit the Bible against itself. Gary quotes some of them and warns about wolves wearing sheep's clothing (or clerical collars).

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."
