All creation seems to proclaim the existence of a creator.
From the fine-tuned environment in which we live to recent discoveries in biochemistry, scientists all around the world are frantically searching for new answers where the traditional theories have failed.
There seems to be evidence to suggest that our world and everything in it are only ghostly images: projections from a level of reality so beyond our own that the real reality is literally beyond both space and time. The main architect of this astonishing idea is one of the world’s most eminent thinkers - physicist David Bohm, a protégé of Einstein’s. In this executive summary, Chuck gives a current perspective on some of the areas that define our reality.
In recent years, astonishing technological developments have pushed the frontiers of humanity toward a far-reaching transformation that promises in the very near future to redefine what it means to be human.
As a result, new modes of perception between things visible and invisible are expected to challenge the Church in ways that are unprecedented. The destiny of each individual–as well as the future of their family will depend on the knowledge of this new paradigm and their preparedness to face it head on.
Who is the Woman that rides the Beast in the Book of Revelation? What are the implications of the current "Ecumenical" movement?
The History of the Church
This Briefing Package explores the tragic misconceptions and surprising implications of the history of the church: the violence, injustice, and false worship imposed on a desperate humanity.
For many years we have been following the conventional view of Ezekiel 38 and 39. With the growing tensions between Iran and Israel, these passages are the subject of much current debate. However, the conventional view still leaves a number of puzzling inconsistencies and contradictions. Ezekiel 38 indicates that Israel is dwelling safely and ''without walls.'' Yet, with walls being built and missiles landing each day Israel is hardly dwelling in peace.
The Sermon on the Mount is the manifesto of our King and the platform of the Prince of Peace. And it's the Law! It goes vastly beyond the Law of Moses. It is the Ten Commandments amplified and expanded. It raises the law to the nth degree.
As the Law of the Kingdom, it is the highest ethical teaching in the Bible. It will be the law of this world during the Millennium, and then it will find full fruition. Christ will reign on earth in person and will enforce every word of it. The Sermon on the Mount will finally prevail when He whose right it is to rule shall come.
Recent news releases by NASA have claimed provocative conclusions from studies of alleged Martian meteorites.
The question of life on other planets has been raised again, not by Hollywood but by the scientific community.
Jesus warns the dwellers in Judea that when they see the "Abomination of Desolation" - a desecrating idol installed in the Holy of Holies of the Temple - to flee to the mountains. The remnant of Israel will find refuge there for three and a half years while God protects them and provides for them.
Over the many decades that I have enjoyed my love affair with the Bible, I have had the marvelous benefit of many great teachers. But I also would like to let you in on a precious secret. The greatest personal growth I've ever witnessed occurred in a home Bible study. The fellowship of those intimate home groups, where people can interact, ask questions, and hold one another accountable, was the place of growth for all of us -- teacher and student.
When did Satan fall?
We know that the angels were created prior to the Earth. We find Satan had already fallen in Genesis 3. The mystery is, when did he fall? It appears that there are substantial Scriptural references to his rebellion, his agenda, and the subsequent catastrophic judgment that ensued.
This is an intensive review of what the Apostle Paul calls the most important chapter in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 15. Without it, “we are of all men most miserable.”
The following books of the Bible are a compilation of Chuck's teachings from between 1997 and 2002, they are not new material.
HAGGAI, ZECHARIAH and MALACHI
It is an unfortunate misconception that because these books are called The Minor Prophets, their relevance to our lives is also minor. This couldn't be further from the truth. The richness of life's lessons and our prophetic hope permeate every word. Don't be tricked into missing these overwhelmingly rich studies.
Jonah, the reluctant prophet, was called to prophesy against the pagan capital of the world, Nineveh. He attempted to shun the assignment until God explained it to him a little more clearly! His message to Nineveh:40 days and you get yours! The greatest miracle in the book of Jonah was Nineveh's repentance, within the allotted 40 days, on speculation! They reasoned that maybe, if they repented, God might change His mind. They did. And He did.
A century later, Nahum was sent to ask them to repent and Nineveh failed. Judgment resulted.
Hosea, a contemporary of Isaiah (for most of his ministry) and Amos (in his earlier years) was the Jeremiah of the Northern Kingdom. His main target was the Northern Kingdom, yet his message was for the people of God.
When Solomon died, Jeroboam rebelled and plunged the Northern Kingdom into a prosperous but idolatrous separation. After two centuries of abandoning their heritage, God sent Hosea to present His indictment and declare that He would use their enemies as His judgment.
Prophets to the Southern Kingdom is Chuck's commentary on the books of Joel, Micah, Zephaniah, and Habakkuk.
There continue to be many questions concerning the "Rapture" of the Church and its apparent contrast with the "Second Coming" of Jesus Christ. Where does this strange view come from? Is the term "rapture" even in the Bible?
Clearly, the idea of the Rapture can be considered the most preposterous belief in Biblical Christianity. The situation regarding the doctrine of the Rapture is painfully similar to the famous quote by Michio Kaku, speaking of quantum physics:
The Book of Ruth is venerated in college literature classes as one of the most elegant love stories of all time.
What most people don’t realize, is that it is one of the most significant “New Testament” books located in the Old Testament–and it stands as a pivotal study in Bible Prophecy! It is an essential prerequisite to understanding the Book of Revelation!
This tiny, 4-chapter book is one of the most inexhaustible sources of spiritual insight in the entire Bible.
This study will explore the seven letters by Jesus Christ to actual historical churches and the church ages they represent. These letters describe, with amazing precision, the unfolding of all church history in advance. This chronicle fills the gap between the 69th and 70th Week of Daniel.
We will also find many insightful personal applications as we apply each letter to ourselves.
Four Levels of Application:
From the beginning of time, thinkers have puzzled over the paradox of fate vs. Free will. In theological terms, this leads to the struggle between Calvinism and Arminianism. As we explore this paradox we find that examining the fruit of each position reveals that the River of Life seems to flow between these two extremes, and that again, truth involves a careful balance.
We hear a lot about the "Sovereignty of God": and the prerogatives of our Creator are pretty obvious.
The apostle Paul told the Corinthian Christians, “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.”
Sadly, today many people are confused about the person and work of the Holy Spirit.
Join Dr. Chuck Missler as he examines the Spiritual Gifts.
Do you know what the fastest growing religion on the Planet Earth is?
ISLAM . . . . and fanatic Muslims have an aggressive agenda from a legacy of hate that may be the greatest challenge to Christianity in the coming century. The surprising occult origins of Islam did not begin with Muhammad.
With their oil revenues and their possession of nuclear weapons, their aggressive agenda cannot be ignored.
They believe they now have the resources to disconnect the Middle East from the Judeo-Christian world order.
Is there One God or Three? How does one reconcile the "One God" of the Sh'ma with the "Three Persons" of the Trinity?
The doctrine of the trinity has been at the heart of much theological controversy. The routine objection is that the doctrine sacrifices monotheism to "tritheism." But this objection thrives on a misconception of divine personality in the image of disparate, individual, human selves.
This type of rationalistic apologetics, promotive of trinitarianism on speculative rather than revelational grounds, regrettably encourages this misunderstanding.
Our Lord repeatedly instructed us: "Be not deceived." That is an imperative: a command, not simply a suggestion. But how? What are the tools to prevent our being deceived or misled?
It is ironic that Jesus' opening imperative in His "Olivet Discourse" is "Take heed that no man deceive you". This is His command, but it begs a question of means: "How do we avoid that?" There seems to be more conjectures and misunderstandings over this passage than almost any other in the New Testament.
In this briefing pack Thy Kingdom Come, Chuck Missler gives insight into the questions, Are you ready? Do you understand? Does your behavior now matter later?
Chuck Missler examines the 'pastoral epistles' of I & II Timothy, Titus and Philemon messages not just to pastors, but to all believers. The key to effectiveness in any venture is special counsel from an experienced mentor who has personally succeeded in the field. These four epistles, I & II Timothy, Titus and Philemon, are the Apostle Paul's private letters counseling two of his two closest proteges. They are known as the "Pastoral Epistles", but they are not just for pastors; they are for every believer, because we are all "in the ministry".
Chuck Missler reviews the "state of the union" and the results of the liberal agenda. We take our lead from Jeremiah and Hosea: we can see the storm coming-we may not be able to divert or stop it, but we can warn others. Our prayer throughout this crisis is that the lessons won't be wasted.
It's time to get serious! Only a miracle can save America, but fortunately God is in the miracle business!
Although the authors are so widely separated by time, we now discover the Bible to be an integral whole with its origin outside the time domain altogether.
Missler's enlightening view of the cohesiveness of the Bible will open your eyes to new depths of insight and understanding.
