No matter what happens in the Middle East—good, bad, or indifferent—it is claimed to be a fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Gary discusses current claims about the prophetic importance and significance about what's happening in Gaza. Once again, these claims are shown to be lacking biblical proof and are nothing more than sensational attention grabs.

Gary runs over a few recent news stories and how the media is struggling to keep up with everything happening. Gary puts his unique spin and view on the topics and reminds listeners that politicians, while important, are not the answer to solving everything. Christians need to stay involved and informed.

Gary 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.

Gary answers a listener question about progressive dispensationalism about how it "differs" from the popular dispensationalism that informs the majority of end-time bestsellers sold in the last 50 years. Gary argues the progressive part of it was made necessary by the many failed prophecies of the popular interpretations.

Gary 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.

Gary discusses several recent (and not so recent) instances of individuals leaving the Christian faith after being in it for some time. Sometimes these deconversions are called "deconstructions" and Gary highlights some examples of these and what his views are on them.

Bible 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.

Gary 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.
