Signs! Wonders! Miracles! Healings! Social Justice! Coffee bars and guitar solos! Many of our modern churches seem to have lost their way. Why is prophecy not being taught in our churches today? Why do so few pastors teach their congregations about Israel and her role in end-time prophecy? Is anyone still looking for the King’s return? Will Jesus find faith when He returns? Whatever happened to the simple Gospel message on salvation and heaven and hell? Long-time radio legend, Jan Markell, joins Gary to expose the agenda of today’s modern churches and along the way, exposes several of the ringleaders of the anti-rapture movement. Are we living in the last days? Jan’s answer may surprise you!
Is there a new weekly program in the works at Prophecy Watchers? What is the one of a kind gift that Bob purchased for Gary while in Israel? How do you combat prophecy burnout? Gary Stearman and Bob Ulrich discuss these topics and more in today’s update.
In the last 20 years, many Christians have moved away from solid dispensational Bible teaching. They have adopted unique new ways of interpreting several key Bible prophecies, specifically the ones that deal with the timing of the Rapture of the Church and the Tribulation Period. Many people are under the false assumption that the first three and a half years of the Tribulation are a time of peace and tranquility. Some are teaching that those first three and half years, when over 2 BILLION people die, represents the wrath of man, or even worse, the wrath of Satan! A new wave of Bible teachers are espousing the “pre-wrath” theory and the “6th-seal rapture theory,” believing God is going to put us through a time of persecution before we are raptured. Still others believe that the seals of Revelation have already been opened and we are already in the Tribulation! Passionate pastor, Billy Crone, was reduced to tears as he examined God’s wrath on an unbelieving world during the Tribulation period. Gary and Billy take a fresh look at the rapture of the Church and the Seals of Revelation, opening our eyes to the harsh reality of what lies ahead for our world. Get in the Ark before it’s too late!
Try and imagine joining Bible scholar Ken Johnson on a secret excavation in the caves of Qumran and making a spectacular new Dead Sea Scrolls discovery. This discovery might even contain the personal memoirs of many of the ancient biblical Patriarchs, including Benjamin, Joseph, Dan, Levi, Judah, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Aaron and many more well known Old Testament names. Well . . . guess what? Now you can! Join Gary and Ken as they uncover Ken’s latest Dead Sea Scrolls research, a proverbial “Time Capsule” revealed just for our generation! Gary has called Ken’s new book, Ancient Testament of the Patriarchs, his very best work yet! Is it real? Can it be trusted? You be the judge!
Gary Stearman and Jan Markell discuss the rampant apostasy in the Church. Jan believes that part of the “falling away” in the last days revolves around an increasingly hostile attitude towards the pre-trib rapture doctrine and the literal interpretation of the Bible. This is a fascinating discussion!

One of the most controversial and misunderstood subjects in Christian circles today is the timing of the Lord’s return. Will the church be raptured before the Tribulation and be spared the wrath of God described in the book of Revelation? Will we endure some of God’s wrath as the “pre-wrath” crowd tell us? Or will we all die as martyrs for the cause of Christ? Pastor Mark Hitchcock has been a great defender of the rapture of the church for over 30 years. His calm, logical approach to defending this core doctrine of dispensationalism is always a breath of fresh air. Gary and Mark ask and answer the key question—can we still believe in the rapture?
Gary Stearman and Larry Ollison discuss the fall of Lucifer and it’s part in the redemption story.

HEAVEN! It’s the hope of every Christian! Who doesn’t want to spend eternity with Jesus in a place He’s prepared just for us? Pastor and gifted communicator, Larry Ollison, sat down with Gary for a good old fashioned look into the future of Planet Earth, highlighted by a passionate discussion about our future home in the New Jerusalem. Can the complicated and sometimes frightening book of Revelation be decoded for the average believer? Can this end-times prophetic book be taken literally? Pastor Ollison lays out a last-days roadmap that cuts through all the prophetic confusion out there and takes us down the road all the way to Paradise. Be encouraged! Heaven awaits!
Gary Stearman and Billy Crone discuss why UFOs are an important subject for Christians to understand.
Genesis 6 is one of the most controversial chapters in the Bible. The original Hebrew language in Genesis 6:4 describes a bizarre marital relationship between a group of fallen angels and human women, resulting in a race of hybrid giants the Bible calls the Nephilim. This was a blatant attempt by Satan to corrupt the bloodline of the Messiah. Many connect this sinful act of genetic rebellion against God with the worldwide, destructive flood of Noah. Columbia Law School graduate, Ryan Pitterson, spent 3 years of his life researching and writing the most comprehensive book on the Nephilim ever published—The Judgment of the Nephilim. Drawing on Scripture, little-known historical sources, and the writings of the ancient church fathers, Pitterson will take you places few have gone before. Join Gary and Ryan as they take a fresh look at this curious, but biblically-important subject!
Gary Stearman discusses the disappointment that can sometimes occur when waiting for the second coming of Christ.
