Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 89 Using the analogy of a puzzle, Gary points out that many prophetic systems try to fit biblical facts into their system, but without having the full picture from the front of the puzzle box. Who does Jesus say will see “all these things”? Certainly not a future audience. “So, you too, when you see all [...]
No matter how much prophetic material you cover, there are always people who ask, “But what about this verse and that verse?” My first foray into dealing with Bible prophecy was The Reduction of Christianity: Dave Hunt’s Theology of Cultural Surrender, published in 1988. This was followed by The Debate over Christian Reconstruction that same year. It was a response to a debate that Dr. Gary North [...]
Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Gary discusses economic policies and ideas that sound good on the surface, but set generations of people up for long-term failures and government dependency. The professed goal of economic equality has long been used by tyrants as a cover for the most brutal kinds of intervention. It is a fetish, held up before the poor to excite envy, dangled in [...]
Joel Richardson posted the following on Facebook: “Why Millennial Sacrifices Do Not Undermine the Cross.” There are several problems with this claim. First, Revelation 20 does not say Jesus will reign on Earth for the symbolic thousand years, that another temple will be built (I’m losing count), or that animal sacrifices will take place. Everything the premils say about Revelation must be imported [...]
Gary continues his interview with economist Jerry Bowyer. Many details given in the Gospels are extremely important for a proper interpretation of what Jesus said and did and why. Theologians virtually ignore the economic commentary in the Bible. In the few cases where it gets any attention, economic commentary in the Gospels and other New Testament writings tend to lapse into simplistic class war [...]
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 88 Gary discusses current Facebook speculation about the war in Iran, Islam, and Ezekiel 39-39. My library is filled with books that attempt to make the case that the events predicted in Ezekiel 38 and 39 are on our prophetic horizon, and it seems that each month a new book appears insisting that “given the current world situation, nuclear war is inevita [...]
The phrase “Do you believe in God?” is a direct line from Andy Weir’s novel Project Hail Mary, where the character Ryland Grace asks his colleague Steve if he believes in God. In the 2026 film adaptation, this question is reimagined as a conversation between Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) and project leader Eva Stratt (Sandra Hüller). Stratt responds to Grace’s inquiry about her fai [...]
In this first part of an interview with author Jerry Bowyer, Gary discusses the economic and cultural arena of the first century. Jesus’s confrontation with the rich young ruler is probably the most cited episode in the Gospels on the topic of wealth. Unfortunately, it is often cited by people who want to use it as a cudgel in their own ideological war against the market economy and in favor of ce [...]
Thomas Jefferson, serving as the ambassador to France, and John Adams, ambassador to Britain, met in London with Sidi Haji Abdrahaman, the Dey of Tripoli’s ambassador to Britain, attempting to negotiate a peace treaty with the Islamic world of their time. Jefferson and Adams argued in vain that the United States was not at war with Islam. The following is from a March 28, 1786, letter addressed to [...]
In this third and final part of his interview with Canadian television program, Thrive, Gary points out several aspects of how most modern prophetic teaching doesn’t fit with what the Bible actually says. In Matthew’s gospel we read about “those days which were before the flood” and “the day that Noah entered the ark” (Matt. 24:38). Similarly, there were days before the coming of the Son of [...]
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 87 Gary responds to a recent bestselling book by author John Bevere called “The King is Coming.” What Jesus declared on the Mount of Olives and what Matthew records for us was a prophecy about the future of Israel’s then-living generation. Jesus spoke to His present audience around AD 33, and the temple was destroyed in AD 70. The destruction [...]
It’s being argued that the dried-up Euphrates is the marching route of a 200-million-man army from China on horseback (Rev. 9:13-21). The drying up of the Euphrates takes place after “the stars fell from heaven to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs … [a]nd the sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places” (Rev. [...]
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. What about world conditions? Aren’t we seeing prophecy being fulfilled right before our eyes? This protest is offered when people are hit with an interpretation that does not fit their long-held doctrinal views. They shift from the [...]
Once again, the Bible is being interpreted through the lens of current events. “All the signs are in place,” prophecy “experts” tell us. Nearly eight out of 10 Evangelicals say they believe the ongoing violence in the Middle East is an indication that the rapture is on the horizon, a new survey … shows. Research conducted by the Brookings Institute’s Center for Middle East Policy on A [...]
In this first part of his recent three-part interview on the Canadian television show, Thrive, Gary recounts his own history with Bible prophecy. The interpretive methodology outlined in Last Days Madness is not innovative. For nearly 200 years Christians have been sidetracked by a novel interpretive methodology known as dispensational premillennialism. While Last Days Madness is not primarily dir [...]
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 86 Gary responds to another video by Joel Richardson and his claims about the “abomination of desolation.” The abomination of desolation is mentioned in one Old Testament book (Dan. 9:27; 11:31; 12:11). The book of Maccabees, a non-inspired book written during the intertestamental period, mentions the abomination of desolation and its relatio [...]
“Therefore, when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place—let the reader understand—” (Matthew 24:15). “When you see the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.” Joel Richardson claims that Matthew 24:15 has not been fulfilled. The temple was still standing when Jesus issued this dire prediction. To be fulfilled [...]
Gary interviews Ray Moore with Exodus Mandate about homeschooling, Christian schools, and a debate that Ray did over America’s Christian history. When Israel was taken to the borders of the promised land, twelve spies were called on to survey the land and report their findings to the nation (Num. 13). Before choosing twelve representatives for the task, God promised the land would be theirs: [...]
If The Road to Holocaust is unfamiliar, it is the title of a book Hal Lindsey wrote in 1989, published by secular publisher Bantam Books (666 Fifth Avenue, NYC). Lindsey claimed that if you did not believe in a pre-tribulational rapture but believed instead that God’s Word applied to all areas of life and Christians should work for that goal, then you believed it “could lead us—and Israel— to disa [...]
Gary responds to an interview with author Jerry Jenkins of Left Behind fame. “But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” (2 Pet. 3:8). This means, it is said, that “God’s arithmetic is different from ours,” so that when Scripture uses terms like “near” and “shortly” (e.g., Rev. 1:1, 3) or “at hand” (e. [...]
