The Gary DeMar PodcastLetting the Bible Speak for ItselfBible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 77 Gary analyzes a clip from a teacher on Facebook claiming that Gog 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.

Unfortunately, it appears that pastors and writers haven't learned this lesson and that the coming year will not see a slowdown in "last days madness." Gary provides the remedy.

2025-12-2258 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastGreat Christmas Movies (Part Two)Gary continues speaking with Rick Welch of The Burros of Berea podcast about Christmas movies. Gary gives a lot of background information about several more films, including Die Hard, Home Alone, and The Three Godfathers.

2025-12-1731 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastGreat Christmas Movies (Part One)Gary is interviewed by Rick Welch of The Burros of Berea podcast about old Christmas movies. Gary gives a lot of background information about the two films discussed in this first part (Beyond Christmas and It's a Wonderful Life). These older films can often be dismissed as "out of touch," but Gary shows that this is far from the truth. They are great lessons about both life and history (among other topics).

2025-12-0329 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastGary DeMar is a Worldview GuyBible 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.
2025-10-1718 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastAnswering Questions Leads to More QuestionsGary is interviewed by Rick Welch about the 3Q Controversy and how his podcast played a role in it. Gary gives much more clarity and the historical background about how the controversy began, as well as where it seems to stand currently. Also during that same time, Gary and Kim Burgess did another podcast in 25 parts called Covenant Hermeneutics and Biblical Eschatology.
2025-10-0137 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastYou Can't Escape ItGary discusses pastors and politics and answers a Facebook commenter named "Missionary Larry." Larry repeats most, if not all, of the Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths mentioned in Gary's book by the same name. Gary points out that politics are unavoidable, and ignoring them only increases the level of them, in any area of life, including church life.
2025-09-1729 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastMaking DeMands of DeMarGary recaps his recent trip to Moscow, Idaho and all of the various people he met while there. Due to the "company he keeps," Gary has been taken to task by various individuals on social media who are demanding that he answer them. Gary gives his view on the situation and what he really thinks about demands being placed on his time.
2025-09-0838 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastWhat Holds it All Together?Reality and "truth" are being fragmented by modern political and social efforts and promulgated through the internet and social media. Non-Christian beliefs don't and can't offer anything in terms of a comprehensive worldview. Dr. Gary North joins Gary DeMar on today's episode with a discussion about today's fragmented world.
2025-09-0123 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastGetting "Caught Up" with the RaptureGary discusses the recent Facebook obsession about the "rapture" coming next month. Certain individuals are teaching that the rapture will "definitely" be on September 22-25, 2025. Gary issues a challenge to anyone convinced of the truth of these prophecies to sign over all their assets to American Vision on September 26, after this newest "sure thing" prophecy is proven to be wrong.

2025-08-2530 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Last Word on Mello (maybe)Gary responds to comments from critics on Facebook to his recent article about Acts 24:15 and the Greek word mello. The point of the debate is getting somewhat lost, but Gary shows (again) that some of the original Three Questions letter signers teach the very same thing that Gary is saying about Acts 24:15 and mello (about to be).
2025-06-1631 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastMr. Cameron's EschatologyBible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 39 Rick Welch takes over the Gary DeMar Podcast and interviews Kirk Cameron. Kirk has been very active lately in helping to promote American history, family values, and an optimistic world-and-life-view. Formerly known as a teen actor and "the Left Behind Guy," Kirk details some of the influences that have helped inform and guide his current work.
2025-05-0919 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThoughts on Revelation 20Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 38 Gary sits down with his friend Robert Cruickshank at the recent Berean Bible Conference. The two answer a listener question about Revelation 20, which is a very difficult chapter. However, as Gary points out, nearly every eschatological "system" assumes this chapter says much more than it actually does. Gary and Bob try to keep it real and biblical.
2025-05-0231 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Return of the Three QuestionsGary responds to recent criticism that resurrects the "Three Questions Controversy" from 2023 and accuses Gary of promoting "full preterism." While the tactics of the accusers remain the same, the exegetical proof that Gary has been demanding (not just pointing to a creed) remains missing. The critics do not even agree among themselves and continually hide behind creedal statements, yet refuse to interact with the biblical time statements.
2025-04-0737 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastActual Gary vs. AI GaryGary continues his conversation with Kevin Barber about technology and artificial intelligence. Kevin reveals a tool he made for American Vision, which can be found at www.AmericanVision.ai. Using open source AI software, Kevin created a chatbot that learned to think using only Gary DeMar books and it is ready and waiting to answer all your Bible prophecy and eschatology questions right now.
2025-04-0229 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastTo Have Children or Not to Have Children?Gary discusses recent articles about immigration and birth rates. So called anti-natalists put the welfare of the planet over the welfare of humanity, but they are seldom willing to rid the planet of themselves first. Gary calls materialistic "science" into the argument to point out the hypocrisy.

2025-02-1028 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastHow Theological Differences Should be HandledGary responds to a recent article by Ken Gentry that called Gary out for his views on eschatology. Gary's point has consistently been that a real exchange needs to happen between different views regarding certain elements of Bible prophecy that some (like Ken Gentry) insist have been "settled." The same hermeneutic that informs partial preterism is being used by others to defend consistent, or full, preterism.
2025-02-0335 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastGary's State of the UnionGary discusses the current state of the country now that President Trump has taken office. Many of the things Trump is doing in his first week in office are positive and following through on campaign promises, but some are still nitpicking his every move. Gary tries to bring some historicity, rationality, and biblical worldview to the situation.
2025-01-2928 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastDo Your Prophetic HomeworkBible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 24 Gary responds to several critics on Facebook that disagree with his interpretation of Bible prophecy. Gary gives two points of advice before jumping into a debate: 1) know what your own position actually teaches, and 2) know what your opponent's position actually teaches.
2025-01-2424 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastAtheism Has No MindGary explains the interaction he had on Facebook with a former pastor who has since deconverted. Alan Bondar now claims to be an atheist and even wrote a book called "How to Kill God the Easy Way" (presumably those without the book are stuck with the "hard way"). Gary ties his discussion with Bondar into the classic debate between Dr. Greg Bahnsen and Dr. Gordon Stein.
2025-01-2228 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastJimmy Carter Funeral Imagines No HeavenGary discusses the recent funeral for former President Jimmy Carter. Garth Brooks and Tricia Yearwood sang John Lennon's song "Imagine" at the funeral at Carter's request. Gary gives some little known background information about Lennon and how he actually grew to become "embarrassed" by the words to his famous song.
2025-01-2028 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastVictim's Rights and Prophecy WarsGary discusses two new books now available from American Vision, Gary's North's Victim's Rights and Gary DeMar's newest book Prophecy Wars. These two have more in common than might be apparent to many, but both are essentially apologetic works about controversial topics about the Bible.
2025-01-1325 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Day and the HourBible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 22 Gary discusses a popular interpretation of Matthew 24 that assumes a split in time in what Jesus is explaining to His disciples. Gary doesn't agree and shows how it can't be possible, especially when looking at the parallel passage in Luke's gospel and his description of the same events. See the chart that compares Matthew 24 and Luke 17 here: https://americanvision.org/images/uploads/luke-17_mathew-24-chart.pdf
2025-01-1024 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastVigilante Justice and GrievancesGary begins addressing the recent murder of the United Healthcare CEO and how to properly address grievances anyone may have with either an individual or a major social wrong.

2024-12-3026 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastHal Lindsey's Projection in "The Road to Holocaust"Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 20 Gary discusses one of Hal Lindsey's lesser-known books called The Road to Holocaust. In it, Lindsey accuses what he calls "Dominion Theology" of denying the "clear teaching of prophecy" as well as promoting antisemitism (a claim still being made today). The book led Gary and Peter Leithart to respond with a small book called The Legacy of Hatred Continues.

2024-12-0231 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastDouble Fulfillment Under the MicroscopeBible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 16 In this conclusion to his interview with author Brian Godawa, Gary answers a question about so-called double fulfillment. Many modern Christian teachers will admit that prophecies in the NT were fulfilled in AD 70, but claim that they still await a "final" fulfillment in the future. Is this correct? How do we know?

2024-11-2925 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastIsrael and the Land PromisesGary interviews author Brian Godawa about his new book, Israel in Bible Prophecy: The New Testament Fulfillment of the Promise to Abraham. Like Gary, Brian believes that Israel's modern role on the world stage has no significance to Bible prophecy and the "end times." Too many Christians blindly support everything Israel says and does because of this belief. As Brian puts it: "Anti-Zionist does not mean Anti-Semitic."

2024-11-2739 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastYou Can't Do It From the SidelinesGary comments on a recent sermon by John Piper about the 2024 Election and Trump being "evil." Piper said that while he wanted people to vote, he was unhappy with the candidates. Gary agrees, but is more practical about how to approach this issue. Change takes time and not everything can be changed from without the system; some changes require working from within. Here's the article referred to in this episode: https://harbingersdaily.com/calling-the-election-of-trump-evil-john-piper-reminds-christians-why-hes-not-trusted/
2024-11-2526 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastHow to Interpret the Bible (Part Two)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.
2024-11-2029 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastHow to Interpret the Bible (Part One)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. NOTE: The host's audio is very bad and used very sparingly. Gary does most of the speaking.
2024-11-1826 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastIsrael as the Fig Tree Under the MicroscopeBible 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.

2024-10-2832 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastPutting It All TogetherBible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 11 Gary gives a quick lesson on how to do biblical hermeneutics, which simply means how interpret the text.

2024-10-1433 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Meta-Hermeneutic of the New TestamentVolume 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.

2024-10-0740 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastSurvival of the FittestGary concludes his interview with Brett Prieto about worldviews and morality. As he always does, Gary brings in pop culture and television and movies to help make his point about the need for an authoritative standard (a Lawgiver) in order to define right and wrong. Many claim to be moral and ethical without any actual basis for it.
2024-09-2531 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastBorrowed Moral CapitalThis is part one of an interview by Brett Prieto about Gary's book, Why It Might Be OK to Eat Your Neighbor. Gary points out the impossibility of a materialist worldview to define things like love or morality. Most atheists don't even realize the problem that they are "borrowing" morality from the Christian worldview in order to prop up their own lack of one.
2024-09-2328 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Rapture Under the MicroscopeGary responds to a clip on Facebook that claims to "prove" the Rapture with two Bible verses. Revelation 3:10 and 1 Thessalonians 1:10 are the verses and Gary digs into the Greek and some of the translation and interpretation issues involved. Also, outside of the language issues, there is the larger problem of the historical context and the time indicators.

2024-08-0216 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastJD Vance and an Idol of BreadGary responds to certain Christians concerned with Donald Trump's VP pick, JD Vance. Despite many reasons that make him a good VP candidate, many are pointing to his Catholicism as concerning because he "worships an idol of bread," referring to the Roman Catholic view of the Lord's Supper (Communion). Gary points out that politics, and especially the current state, always involves picking the better candidate, rather than the best one.
2024-07-2224 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastHow Partial is Your Preterism?Gary answers a question from one of his YouTube videos about partial preterism, full preterism, and everything in between.

Gary also interacts with a recent article by Ken Gentry about this topic.
2024-07-1727 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Religion of StatismGary continues his interview with Paul Stevenson about politics and freedom and the decline of western culture. Gary points out that a biblical worldview was essentially assumed in both Britain and the United States for many years, but that worldview is steadily eroding. Note: Gary's recording is rough in several places.
2024-07-1522 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastCareer Politicians on Both SidesGary discusses international politics with Paul Edward Stevenson, a radio host from Britain. Political bureaucrats are the same all over the world and desire to have power in order to maintain control. While the promises are always to fix whatever is wrong, the result is always more government intrusion and loss of freedom. Note: Gary's recording is rough in certain places, but the content is still very good.
2024-07-1224 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastGary and the Resistance Chicks (Part Two)Gary continues his discussion with the Resistance Chicks about biblical eschatology. Heaven and earth language in the Bible causes many people to think of cosmic bodies out in space, but is this what is really meant?

2024-06-2627 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastA Short Course on Biblical Eschatology (Part Two)Gary concludes his interview with Steve Deace about eschatology.

Rushdoony was a small and insignificant voice on American history and church and state. Gary takes issue with this and discusses why.
2024-05-0320 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastDisparities in Economics and AbilitiesGary discusses the economic and the biological differences between men's and women's sports. People must (and do) ignore both the market and the obvious differences between men and women in order to bring in the equality and parity argument in sports. A short lesson in both economics and sports is Gary's response.
2024-05-0125 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastGetting Healthy with GaryIn this episode, Gary discusses recent health issues, as well as giving a few hints and tips about getting and staying in shape. As we age, it is very important to keep active and fit, despite most activities for older people being mostly sedentary. A biblical worldview is not only for the mind; it should also affect how we live, exercise, and eat.
2024-04-2621 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastGumming Up the SystemGary discusses tactics of Christian resistance that can be learned from Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Scotland has recently made reporting "hate speech" easier and they are being inundated with cases. Author J. K. Rowling has even gotten involved. It all reminded Gary of an article written by Dr. Gary North years ago.

2024-04-2228 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Failure of Christian SocialismThe passing of Ronald Sider in 2022 presented an opportunity for Gary to tell the sad history of Christian socialism in America. Acts 4-5 is often appealed to as an example of this, but as Gary points out, it was 1) voluntary, and 2) tied to the coming destruction of Jerusalem. Christians must not be manipulated into unproductive mindsets by academic and economic guilt peddlers.

2024-04-1932 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastNo Flesh Shall be SavedGary responds to a recent article that discusses Matthew 24:22. "Unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened." The article claims this is referring to all people on earth, but Gary points out the context and meaning that the verse is actually talking about. It's about the end of the age, not the end of the world.
2024-04-1520 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThis Earth IS Our HomeGary concludes his talk about Christian involvement in culture and politics by summarizing several popular objections. In his book, Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths, Gary answers 15 common objections that Christians give to not get involved, but he points out that God leaves His people here for that very reason. Heaven may be our ultimate home, but Earth is our home now and needs the spiritual discernment and physical work of Christians.
2024-03-2524 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastEschatology is a Worldview IssueIn this first part of a recent talk, Gary discusses the worldview implications of Bible prophecy. Many Christians will claim that what we believe about the future doesn't matter, because "God wins" anyway. Gary disagrees that it doesn't matter and gives cultural, theological, and historical reasons why.
2024-03-2021 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastWe're Already in God's KingdomGary continues discussing Pastor MacArthur's recent comments about Christian Nationalism. He seems to be confused about what most Christian Nationalists are actually saying, and overcorrects his mistaken assumptions with extreme defeatist language. He says "we lose down here." Gary says no, we have already won, thanks to the completed mission and work of Jesus Christ.
2024-03-1324 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastChristians and Christian NationalistsGary expands a bit on a recent article he wrote called "Christians in the Crosshairs." Christian Nationalism has a much longer history than most people realize, although the definition has remained basically the same. In essence, anyone that wants their Christian faith to influence every area of life are suspect and considered to be Christian Nationalists. Gary sets the record straight. The article can be read here: https://americanvision.org/posts/christians-in-the-crosshairs/
2024-03-0625 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastRedefining Crime to Stop CrimeGary responds to a recent statement by attorney Ben Crump about redefining crime to help cut down on the targeting of blacks for criminal activity. Following in the steps of critical theory, Crump is falling right into the trap of the eternal victimhood of blacks everywhere in America. Gary responds and also quotes from Dr. Carol Swain's answer to Crump.
2024-02-2821 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastA Worldview of Optimism and VictoryGary interviews his longtime friend, Kirk Cameron, about how he came to embrace a new view of Christianity and the world.

2024-02-1636 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Legacy of Rousas J. RushdoonyGary interviews the late Dr. Gary North about his own personal history and how he came to know and be mentored by Dr. Rousas Rushdoony. North and Rushdoony heavily influenced 20th century theology with their voluminous books about a great deal of topics. The legacy of Rushdoony is still being felt today, more than 60 years after his first book was published in 1959.
2024-02-0945 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastWhat Holds it All Together?Reality and "truth" are being fragmented by modern political and social efforts and promulgated through the internet and social media. Non-Christian beliefs don't and can't offer anything in terms of a comprehensive worldview. On this repeat of a previous episode from 2021, the late Dr. Gary North joins Gary DeMar on today's episode with a discussion about today's fragmented world.
2024-02-0723 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe World is Spinning Out of ControlGary responds to a recent article by Pastor Robert Jeffress in Dallas, Texas about the world looking like it's getting very close to the "end." The biblical passages used by Pastor Jeffress have been used by nearly every generation to prove that their generation was living in the "last days." Jeffress also uses 2 Timothy 3, which Gary takes time to answer in detail. Get David Chilton's The Great Tribulation here: https://store.americanvision.org/products/the-great-tribulation
2024-02-0225 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastTaking Dominion of the EarthGary discusses the concept of dominion and what it means. Many get upset by the word and the implications of man "dominating" the earth and other people, but what Gary points out is that dominion is an inescapable concept; there's always someone seeking to impose their idea of dominion on your and your family.

Now that the first volume of the book is available, this recap was due for a re-run. While many people were enthused and appreciative of the interviews, others have taken issue with them.

2023-12-2725 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThis Generation or This Brood?One from the archives. Gary answers an interesting question that was submitted to another podcast. The question is tied to Jesus' words in Matthew 24 about "this generation" and the Pharisees as "brood of vipers" in Matthew 23. This question, which Gary had never heard before, caused a lot of discussion on the show and revealed that far from questioning the timestamp of Matthew 24:34, it actually confirms it even more. Note: This was originally recorded in Dec 2021, when Dr. Heiser was still actively posting podcasts. He died in February 2023 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
2023-12-1129 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Beast in the BunkerStill in his basement, Gary answers a listener question about the "number of the beast," Nero, and Titus. The listener asks about Pastor Phillip Kayser's view that while Nero could be a candidate, he believes the Roman General (and later Emperor) Titus works better for 666. Gary discusses this and much more about this most notorious number from Revelation 13 (and 1 Kings 10).

2023-11-0821 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastBut Things Are Different NowGary responds to a recent interview between Glenn Beck and Max Lucado about the state of the world and the war between Israel and Hamas. Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 are brought up as evidence that this current war is a key indicator that the "end is near" (again). Gary refutes this view (again) with history and biblical exegesis.
2023-11-0617 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastScoffers and the Last DaysGary continues his response to Answers in Genesis' Ken Ham. Ham uses 2 Peter 3 to show that we are in the "last days." This has been done time and time again, and every time it has been shown to be wrong. Peter was speaking about events of his own day in the first century, not about the state of the culture or the church in our day. Read the article by David Chilton and Gary DeMar on 2 Peter 3 here: https://americanvision.org/3603/what-does-peter-mean-by-the-passing-away-of-heaven-and-earth-a-study-of-2-peter-3/
2023-09-2523 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastDon't Tread on UsGary discusses a recent dust-up at a school in Colorado regarding the Gadsden Flag.

2023-07-1924 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastAn Action ImperativeIn this first part of a three-part interview, Gary DeMar talks with Dr. Gary North about the need for Christians to take action.

2023-07-1422 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThere's Work to be DoneGary DeMar and Gary North highlight the deep need for a comprehensive biblical worldview. Official mainstream "narratives" are increasingly being doubted and shouted down, but the alternatives seldom agree either. Syncretism and fragmentation are the worldviews of the day and only true Christianity offers a complete world-and-life answer to modern (and not so modern) societal ills.
2023-04-2417 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastA Short History of Theonomy's CriticsGary DeMar sat down with Dr. Gary North for an interview regarding theonomy, its critics, and its potential future.

2023-04-0514 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastWhat Does the Bible Teach?Part 1: Gary received a letter signed by several individuals looking for answers to three specific questions. In this first podcast of several, Gary gives his side of the "controversy" and why he won't simply answer their questions. A large part of the issue is how the questions are worded. The heart of the matter is what does the Bible teach, not what does Gary believe.
2023-03-061h 01The Gary DeMar PodcastSeparating Fact from FictionGary discusses movies, the end-times, and books. Rapture fever has returned, which makes a book Gary wrote in 2001 relevant once again. Left Behind: Separating Fact from Fiction is Gary's answer and response to the Left Behind craze from the 1990s, which resulted in several movies and a slew of promotional products. People have short memories, but they're still looking for the escape hatch from a "world gone mad." Unfortunately the Bible does not teach it.
