Gary is interviewed about biblical hermeneutics (the art and science of interpretation). He continues his lesson with discussions about time statements and the book of Revelation. Most Christians have never been taught these things and while it takes work and patience, there are many free online tools available that can help make the process easier.
NOTE: The host's audio is very bad and used very sparingly. Gary does most of the speaking.

Gary is interviewed about biblical hermeneutics (the art and science of interpretation). He gives a quick lesson about how regular Christians can and should do it for themselves. Most Christians are never taught how to read the Bible for themselves and are left to accept what others tell them it means.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 14
Gary discusses the history of failed "end times" and "last days" predictions. While many have made bold claims about the future, they have all been proven wrong. These false prophets have a long, long history of failure, but it never seems to cause Christians to: 1) question these repeated claims, and 2) seek out a more consistently biblical hermeneutic.The Hal Lindsey "Hero or Bum" article is here: https://americanvision.org/images/uploads/lindsey-hero-or-bum-ct.png

Gary continues his interview with Gordon Van Wechel with Alchemy Precious Metals. In this second part, Gordon discusses the worldwide demand for precious metals and how countries like China and India are influencing prices. Gold and silver also have industrial uses, which keeps their value high outside of government interventions like the Federal Reserve. (Part Two of Two)

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.Get Gary's book here: https://store.americanvision.org/products/the-rapture-and-the-fig-tree-generation
-
Gary gives his thoughts on the results from Tuesday's election and Trump's win of both the electoral and the popular vote.
-
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.

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.

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? -
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.
-
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).

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.Get the free PDF here: https://americanvision.org/images/uploads/putting-it-all-together-microscope11.pdf

-
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.
-
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.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 10
Many modern preachers and authors are schizophrenic. On one hand they sensationalize current events as being part of the "end times" and yet also highlight how Christians must be involved culturally and politically. They don't seem to understand that these messages are contradictory and often cause their hearers to become paralyzed with indecision.Get the free PDF here: https://americanvision.org/images/uploads/bhowse-propheticschizophrenia.pdf
-
Picking up with Gary's interview with the Resistance Chicks from a few months back, this third part deals with Dispensationalism and how it influences both eschatology and politics. A major problem with the paradigm is how it separates God's future plans into two, with one for the Jews and another for the Church.
-
Gary gives a quick update on the recent donation matching challenge, and then discusses a listener question about his research methods. Gary has been doing this a long time (which helps of course), but he also points out that making mental connections between things that interest you is a helpful way to learn and remember new things.
-
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 9. Many Bible commentators claim that Matthew 24—Jesus' Olivet Discourse—should be divided between verses that apply to events in AD70 and verses that apply to the distant future. Gary puts this popular hermeneutic under the exegetical microscope to see if it stands up under scrutiny.
-
Volume 2 of Kim Burgess and Gary DeMar's The Hope of Israel and the Nations is now available! Gary discusses the book, the series, and what Kim calls the "meta-hermeneutic" of the New Testament (p. 13). Why did Paul write letters and Luke write "historical documents?" Each writing had a particular motivation behind it and we must take this into consideration when interpreting them.
