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.
