The Fundamentalist Doctrine
12 October 2015

Looking through the reviews of this book I have suddenly discovered that I am the only person giving it one star. Mind you, pretty much every review is a carbon copy of the other – wonderful book, clearly explains the Bible, very useful in helping me understand. In fact there is only one person who actually provides some criticism of Missler's methodology, and even then she simply says that there are a few times where he makes statements without any supporting evidence (though I'd say that he does it a lot more than a few). Mind you, most of the people that wrote the reviews will probably read mine and scream out 'heretic' but then again it is a badge that I wear with pride. They said exactly the same thing about Martin Luther during the reformation (and about Jesus Christ). For those who have read this book (and are familiar with Missler's teachings) I simply say this – I'm an amillenialist who believes that the church is the new Israel and that most of the events in Revelation have already happened (though I'll explain that a little further on).

My position is that this book is incredibly dangerous. Mind you, it is rare these days that I don't mark a book on Goodreads that I am currently reading, or post the review to my feed, but the main reason that I am doing so with this book is because I believe that it should only be read by people who are really strong in their faith, and then only to be aware of some of the teachings of the fundamentalists.

The reason that I say that this book is dangerous is not just because it teaches fundamentalist doctrine, but enforces it's teachings by saying that Jesus/God said this and if you don't believe it then you are denying God/Jesus. For instance, he argues in favour of a seven day creation (which I he is entitled to do) but then finishes off his argument by saying that Jesus said that the world was created in seven days, and thus if we do not believe in a seven day creation then we are denying Christ. It puts young Christians in a very difficult bind because they are forced to believe in this very specific doctrine, and are prevented from questioning it because, well if Jesus said it then it must be true. The fact that this book is actually targeted at people who don't understand the Bible all that much concerns me even more because it has the effect of radicalising them.

I used to really like Chuck Missler years ago because he said some quite interesting things, and opened up the Bible in a way that it had never been opened to me previously. However I found myself believing in a literal seven day creation and a literal interpretation of Revelation, which didn't do any good for my relationships with non-Christians. However, having returned to his teaching, and reading this book with a fresh, and more mature, mind I have come to realise that Missler is actually pro-Israel, pro-America, anti-Muslim, and anti-homosexual (I won't say Islamophobic or Homophobic because I don't think he fears them, he just hates them with a passion).

The problem with Missler is that he does point out a lot of theologically sound doctrine, and has the potential to help you understand the structure of the Bible, how it all fits together, how it is the story of God's redemption of humanity, and how it points to the cross. However he completely undermines his treatise by taking a incredibly literal view of the Bible, and instead of focusing on Christ's salvation he focuses on God's judgement. In fact his main focus is that God will judge the heathan and apostate, however you can be saved by trusting in Christ. It sort of reminds me of this meme.

Jesus – let me in or else

Creation
Missler uses a lot of science in his exposition of the Bible, especially in the section on Genesis. The problem that I find with his scientific explanations is that he seems to force the science to fit the Bible and if it doesn't then he outright rejects it as heresy. This fascinated me when I was younger because I love science, however I have since come to understand that science and the Bible don't always fit. I don't believe that we are supposed to take every part of the Bible literally, and when it comes to science there is actually a lot that we do not understand. In fact a lot of science is still very theoretical and is only held together by mathamatical equations. The problem with forcing science to fit a literal interpretation of the Bible creates a science that is based upon supposition and faulty mathematical logic.

My position on Genesis is that Genesis 1 is actually poetic in nature, and uses this form to outline the process of creation. While he argues about a literal interpretation he seems to ignore Genesis 2 which has a completely different order of creation (man is created before the plants and animals were created). Like many fundamentalists they take portions of the Bible that suit their arguments and they also argue context only where reading contextually supports their supposition. The problems with arguing a literal interpretation is that according to the poem the Earth was created before the suns and the stars, which means that the 24 hr day simply did not exist. My position is simply that these days represent stages of creation, and that to understand the creation narrative we need to understand it's poetic form. Another interesting thing is that they argue a literal 24 hour day here, but when it comes to Daniel's prophecy of the end times, where he speaks about weeks, it is only to interpret that as a week of years – where is the consistency?

Nephalim
Personally, I think the idea of the angels coming down to Earth, mating with humans, and creating a genetic race of super beings is rather cool. However there is a problem with that. He seems to completely ignore the fact that Jesus later says that angels are sexless. So, the question that I raise is, if angels are sexless how is it that they can have sex with humans (maybe they gave themselves the respective equipment)? Look, I believe in a world wide flood, and I think it is cool that humans and dinosaurs may have co-existed (where else did the legend of dragons come from), however while there is a lot of evidence of such a flood, nobody has ever dug up the skeleton of a Nephalim.

However there is a big problem that I have with Missler's teaching on the subject. His arguments in support of the genocide of the Cananites is that there were Nephalim dwelling among them, and the thing with the Nephalim are that they are tainted. This is why God destroyed the world by a flood, and also why the Israelites were instructed to commit genocide against the Cananites. The fallen angels had tainted humanity, and these tainted individuals had to be killed. My concern is that this teaching gives rise to racism and racial superiority. It also suggests that certain races could be killed off simply because they are belived to have a genetic taint. In a way it encourages genocide.

This teaching is further compounded by his suppositions from the table of nations. He points out that the Bible apparently identifies the originals of each of the races and tribes on the Earth. The problem is that the sons of Noah exist in a hierarchy, with Shem at the top, followed by Japtheth, and finally by Ham. The problem with the hierarchy is that it once again leads to racism and racial superiority. It suggests that all of those descended from Ham and Japtheth are subservient to those who are descended from Shem. What ever may have been the case back then, Christ's death and resurrection has opened the door to salvation to all nations, races, creeds and languages. Everybody is one in Christ – there are no favourites, no one who is special, all are equally accepted and welcomed. Christ is the great leveller.

Israel
I was going to say that that Missler is very pro-Israel, however I should actually say that he is incredibly pro-Israel. Sure, I accept that the Jews are God's chosen people, and the fact that they survived a 2000 year long diaspora is testament to that. However my position that the Jews still exist, and survive, is evidence pointing to the authenticity of the Bible. Where as most nations would have simply ceased to exist and would have vanished from the face of the Earth over that time, the Jews still exist and still have a racial identity. While I support Israel's self-determination, and condemn the holocaust, it does not excuse their actions towards the Palestinians. In fact I believe that their actions in Palestine are atrocious. Not only are they raging war against an entire population, they are entering their territory and constructing illegal settlements, despite the fact that they have been told not to.

Every morning when I open my Bible app I get the same loaded question:

Does Israel have the right to defend itself

This isn't just a loaded question, it is an incredibly loaded question. If you answer no you are effectively saying that they should let all of their enemies enter their lands and massacre them. However if you say yes then you are giving support to their continued actions against the Palestinians. This isn't about a small group of special forces operatives going into Palestine and arresting those behind the rocket attacks, but rather sending warplanes into the land and indiscriminately bombing civilian populations. Mind you, the propaganda in this situation is fierce, you simply have to look at the internet to see it, but here is a couple of examples:

Pro-Israel Cartoon

Judgement
Look, I'll be blunt, and I know that I am not making any friends here but I believe in sin, and I also believe in the judgement of God. However, the thing is that there is a really big danger when we focus on judgement and let salvation take a back seat. It is true that the Bible says that we are all sinners and are under the judgement of God, however it is also equally true that Jesus died for the ungodly. The problem with focusing on judgement is that it is like the meme that I posted about – Jesus is saying 'follow me or else'.

I don't think it is like that because what we are also told is that God gave us up to our sinful nature. The thing is that God has shown us a way where we can live in harmony with God, nature, and our follow humans. However what sin does is that it makes us want to put ourselves front and centre. We want what we want and screw everybody else (and the environment). The thing is that by living selfish and self-centred lives we are very much capable of bringing judgement upon ourselves through our own actions, and when society all goes off to do what they see is right in their own eyes then disaster will follow – just look at the book of Judges.

The problem that I have with this book is that it seems to elevate some sins above others, and misinterprets some passages. For instance, he focuses entirely on the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah as being homosexuality. I don't actually think that that is the case. You see this is only an example of their sin, and it is not homosexuality, or even blazen homosexuality as he suggested. Rather it their actions towards Lot's visitors. When they came to Lot's house and tell him to send out his visitors so that they could have sex with them, this wasn't an invitation, or a proposition, this was a demand. I doubt the angels were in any real position to say 'thank's for the offer, I'm really flattered, but I think I'll pass'. It doesn't even sound as if it was an invitation to participate in an orgy. To me this sounded like a demand that suggested that the Angels really didn't have an option. I doubt if the angels walked outside they could have turned down the sex and simply had a game of snakes and ladders instead.

It is not the homosexuality that is being focused on here, it is the utter depravity of the society in which Lot lives. It was a cut throat world ruled by a mob where people simply could not walk around at night safely. If you did there was a high likely hood that you would have been mugged, raped, and then brutally murdered.

Escatology
I believe that this is a very dangerous doctrine. Sure, I believe that one day Christ will return to judge the world and to bring his children to live in a restored creation, but I also believe that Jesus is more concerned with how we live now rather than focusing too much on how the end times are going to play out. In fact I believe that we don't actually need to know how it plays out because it actually isn't all that important – rather it is a distraction. The Bible isn't about how God is going to bring this present world to a close – we are just told he is going to do that some time in the future, whether it be in half-an-hour's time or in half a millenium's time. The Bible isn't about the future, it is about how we should live now.

The thing with Revelation (and other parts of the Bible that are purportedly said to be about the end times) is that they have all been interpreted as different things in different times and in different places. The ancient Christians saw the beast from the sea as being Rome, the Christians living in the middle East saw it as militant Islam, and the people of the Reformation saw it as the Roman Church.

You see, Missler doesn't just dump on non-Christians, he dumps on Christians as well. In fact he says that those who claim to be amillenialists (as I am) are denying the word of God and calling him a liar. That is a but harsh considering that amillenialists actually believe that we are currently living in the millenium. The thing is that amillenialists believe that the end times are the period between Christ's ascension and his second coming. What Missler is doing is dictating what they believe to people who probably don't know otherwise

One big issue that I noticed was that he suggested that new Christians should read the book of Revelation first because 'it bestows a special blessing on the reader'. Hold it, what about the gospels – the four central books around which the entire Bible is focused that talk about the life and teachings of the man that forms the basis of the Christian religion? Should it not be more important to find out what Jesus actually says rather than jumping into a book that is so full of old testament allusions and symbols that new readers have no idea what it is about. To me that is preposterous. I remember when I read Revelation years ago before I had any understanding of the Bible, and came up with some really bizarre ideas. The thing is that I was making statements about the four horsemen without even realising that they were a reference to the book of Zechariah.

The thing is that the book of Revelation is not mapping out a path of future history, but rather is a book that was written to Christians living under oppression in Rome. We, living two thousand years from then, cannot take the book out of that context and apply it to the world as it exists now – it just isn't the same. The other interesting thing is that he regularly attacks Russia, China, and the European Union. Once again I find this really interesting because these three superpowers actually provide a counter-balance to the power of the United States. In fact his decrying the US's rejection of the gospel of Christ suggests that there is a belief that maybe, just maybe, the United States is supposed to be the protector and guardian of the Christian message and if the United States rejects it's Christian heritage then the world is doomed.

For all of those who actually believe that America was at one stage a Christian nation, just remember this:

This book is fascinating. An "hour" is actually about twenty minutes - you'd have to be a really slow reader to take an hour, and it's a very easy read, nothing of a challenge but has highlighted some amazing connections between old and new testaments, languages in the Bible and meanings of things, and also some amazing insights about Israel and God's love for Israel still. Learned a lot. A LOT. Half way through I realised that it can come in the form of a DVD/Book/discussion group format, which no doubt would be beneficial but I loved just the book on it's own.

I would give it 5/5 as it's interesting and eye opening, but I am frustrated that he throws odd sentences into paragraphs, usually at the end, that are either teasers that you want to know more about, are seemingly unrelated to anything and just contravertial. He spends pages on things that could have been explained in one paragraph, then glosses over things that you are burning with questions over. However, he's not expounding the Bible, he's giving an overview, and that he does. Brilliantly. Although some of his teasers are ridiculous; there's the chapter on Isaiah in which he tells you that in one passage all these words and names are "encyrpted" but doesn't show you how, where or why. It's all very well saying "there are codes in the Bible, isn't it great?" but if you don't SEE the evidence, who's to say there are? His style is a little simplistic and preachy with no evidence, references or citations for his assertions, but taken as overall this is an awesome book packed full of fascinating and incredible things. My biggest bugbear was his repetition, but his final chapter despite further repetition in the overview of the entire book was powerful!

References to the Nephilim still sort of mess with my head, it's all too fantastical, but this book explains why Israel - God bless them - have had such a terrible time and show's how there will be a triumphal end! The chapters on Revelation, and the end times, were great - a serious must read for anyone interested in World Politics. The future is laid out in black and white for all to read.

Everyone should read this. Whatever faith you follow, or don't follow any faith, I'll put money on the fact you have/or have had an opinion about the Bible... READ THIS! It turns the Bible into the Enigma machine of World History.

Could not be more impressed with this book. The content and clarity provided by this resource was astonishing! One of my favorite parts was how Missler broke down and analyzed the Seven Letters to the Churches from Jesus in Revelation. I gleaned so much enriched understanding of the prophetic aspects in Scripture by reading this book.

This was a decent concise overview…I loved Chucks ministry and I think I like his live teachings on the Bible in 24 hours more than the book…He uses “outrageous” adjectives and sometimes they take me by surprise but his intelligence is fascinating to me…I miss him…because all his teachings are done there can be no more in the way the world has/is changed/changing but the Holy Spirit is our teacher anyhow! I’ll savor what Chuck has left us with and pray the Holy Spirit will still speak in some ways through them

This was a very good read, although there were more than a couple of moments of, "Really? How did you come to THAT conclusion??" And even he says to read the Bible for yourself, do your research and come to your own conclusions.
Apart from those moments however, this is a very good book for those who are interested in learning the overview of the Bible, and how the whole thing fits together. How it is not just a series of loosely connected stories, but a planned view of the past, present and future. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in knowing more of the Bible - just don't believe it unreservedly.

A must read for anyone who wants to better understand the Bible. Wayne and I read it together and plan on re-reading it annually. This book was a gift to my mother-in-law her last Christmas on earth (2015). She never completed it and we are glad we could. Almost too much good information to absorb in only one read.

This is really an interesting book. If you ever really wanted to go through the bible to understand the whole book, this is a great way to do it. It reads like a novel for the most part, although at the end, I found it more confusing. This is good for Christians and Non-Christians, as much of the book is spent on Israel, and the prophesies and how some have already happened.

This book should be on everyones book shelf that is interested in God, the Bible and Christianity. This a basically a summery of every book of the Bible and makes a great companion to the Bible. Beware though Dr. Missler is a very smart man and can easily make you head spin.

I want to begin by saying this review is in no way influenced by any religious view on my part. I borrowed this book from a source I trusted on this subject matter (theology) with the honest intent to learn a healthy over view of the Bible. I was very disappointed.

What I expected was a journey into the studies of the source documents, their discovery, the history or the peoples involved at the time, a bit of linguistic/translation data. No.

Before I even begin with what the book DOES contain, I want to get a minor gripe out of the way. If you go the trouble of mentioning you have a doctorate, you should bite the bullet and let the reader know A) your alma mater; and B) what that PhD is in. Dr. Missler does not mention where he went to school -- neither in the liner notes of his book, nor on his website. I had to do a deep dive and find it in his obituary of all places! He has an engineering degree from Louisiana Baptist University. This in no way qualifies him to write from a scholarly standpoint on Scripture, so why even mention it? It's very dishonest.

Even before we get to Genesis, in the Intro, Dr. Missler begins claiming strange things about living in a simulation. He cites no sources for this. In fact, that is a major gripe of mine, his extremely poor scholarship. He inserts a quote by George Washington which posits the Bible as the greatest moral authority in the world, but inserts it right in the middle of his paragraph about living in the Matrix! This is bonkers. Use quotes to back up what you are talking about. Very disorganized. True to form, he does not cite which book or speech by Washington this came from.
Other errors include: misusing "dimension" to mean "alternate universe." Claiming that "science" or "scientists" claim something, but failing to label them "physicists" or "biologists." Misunderstanding what the "holographic universe" is. Misusing "apologetic;" in this one case, saying that Christians are "apologetic" about their beliefs in a negative way shows that you don't know what "apologetic" means when it comes to theology. Claiming that "entropy is sort of a synonym for randomness." Retelling the numerous discoveries about the speed of light in different media and drawing from that the conclusion that "the speed of light is not a constant as had been previously believed."

Last, but not even approaching least, he fails to cite ANYTHING other than Bible verses. This is unacceptable from anyone with a college education.

The biggest problem is that he spends MOST of the book talking about these tangents, and very little about what the Scriptures say. That is the biggest fail of this book. You read it and then walk away having learned 10 ounces of theology for every 20 pounds of bad science.

This book is one I'm returning to after many years. I first read it soon after it was published in 2002, when I was still both the young man and young in the faith. I found Chuck Missler to be interesting, a person who got me digging much deeper into the Bible. Yet, over the years, I have later found some of those interesting theories, interspersed into his presentations, either to be debunked or were just patently unbiblical.

As far as positives go, this book is helpful in many ways. It does give you an overview of the Bible (as does his accompanying DVD presentation). It is clever to sum up the entire Bible in 24 lessons; it restricts the author from going too deep into anyone area of the Bible, and it helps the reader to receive the general overview. There are places he focuses on the right things giving attention, for instance, to the anticipation of Christ, the Gospels, and the passion week. Some who might not share a dispensational view might find the focus on the end-times and eschatology to be a bit much, but a dispensationalist would not.

Yet, there are some oddities which gave the book some charm at one point in my life, but not so much so today. For instance, on pages 68–69, Missler explains that the sun may have stood still for Joshua because there was a near pass by from the planet Mars. There is also reference all through the text, of course, to various codes; for instance the codes and the stars on page 46 and his promotion of Bible codes hidden in equidistant letter sequencing. Moreover, while the number of references in the book might initially seem impressive, most of his endnotes are Bible references; there should be many Bible references (Bible references are not typically footnoted/end-noted but rather parenthetically noted in the text of the book), but the number of other resources referenced are few by comparison. It also seems gimmicky to start by saying that the Bible is of extraterrestrial origin when he means that the bible is inspired by God.

This is a book that meant a lot to me as a younger believer, as were many of the other teachings by Chuck Missler. And, it is good to have an easy-to-read overview of the Bible written by someone who believes in its supernatural origin and in the miracles of the text. Yet, I cannot recommend some of the more arcane teachings in here; why have a person look past the beauty of the text which is plain to see to find hidden meaning below it? Resources by folks like John MacArthur would be a better usage of believers’ time today.

Wow!
Folks, seriously just read the Bible. Ask the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart and teach you the Living Word of God, the Bible.
Page 68-69 of Missler’s book says that the way the day was lengthened so the children of Israel could win their battle was that the planet Mars came and flew between earth and the moon and that is how the day was lengthened.
That is just one example, there are many more. I don’t know where he got these “fixes or exaggerations,” but the Bible doesn’t need some made-up-textual-CGI to make it work. God is All-Powerful. He can lengthen any day He wants to; Mars doesn’t have to fix the problem for Him.
The Bible is a time-released, living book from God. It comes with the Holy Spirit who will teach it to anyone who shows up with genuine interest. The same story will mean different things to anyone who reads it depending on what stage of life they are in: kindergarten, teen, 20-something, single, married, parent, grandparent, retired, good times, bad times…the incredible, amazing Word of God will meet you where you are, and teach you. It doesn’t need any help from people who get carried away.
The Bible isn’t to be conquered in 24-hours or 30-days or any other brief amount of time. Oh, the Bible, I breezed through that one weekend, I’ve got it, I’m all set now. What’s the rush? It’s meant to help each of us over a lifetime.

A wealth of scholarly information regarding and contained within the scriptures which comprise "The Bible". I regard that the summations and conclusions presented by Dr. Chuck Missler, with the accompanying challenge to the reader to pursue their own endeavors to anchor: "What is the Truth?" by direct personal study & evaluation of the recorded evidence, rather than merely accept it because "...Chuck says so."
I think this consistent framework of exhortation tends to serve and encourage a self-motivating sense of responsibility to read the Bible.

🙌✝️🙌 In spite of his extensive education, Navy career, mathematical genius, engineering mind and biblical knowledge, my favorite thing about Chuck Missler is his heart, his love for Jesus! It comes through. You can actually feel it. That is a rare and beautiful thing. He is humble as well, which is also rare. Chuck had been researching/studying the Bible for over 50 years when he wrote this and remained humble. He would repeat that you shouldn’t simply believe Chuck Missler but do the homework! He wants to lead people to the Word. That matters.

This is an impressive and almost exhaustive dive into the Bible. Chuck breaks down every story, event and prophecy and explains it in relation to every other moment in the Bible.

Whether you believe or not, this book explains so much about the Bible and really shows the Bible to be unbelievably accurate and well written. If you have questions or just wonder what all of it is all about, read a couple of chapters of this book.

Audiobook read by Tomothy Danko. Pretty interesting. Heard some new viewpoints I'd never heard before. Connected some dots that I'd never thought of. Decent overview of you haven't read the Bible before or it's been a while. Withhold judgement and read the Bible for yourself and see what you think it says. You may agree you may not. But this book gives poses great questions to ask yourself. Not necessarily in the form of questions.

A very good book which I thoroughly enjoyed even if I don't fully agree with the author! However it is a perfect resource for understanding God's plan for humanity!
I have read the book in Romanian and, though generally acceptable, Dumitru Dorian's translation is sometimes both clumsy and permeated with JW terminology. Especially annoying is the translation of "full time" with "norma intreaga"!
I do recommend the book!

This book is a masterpiece. I absolutely loved it and was astounded, thus the five stars. However, it must be noted that Mr. Missler tends to speculate and the eschatology represented I found to be a stretch and quite antiquated. With that said, I would highly recommend it especially for the Old Testament revelations and historical content. Truly he was a brilliant man and this is an incredible feat accomplished!

While this created some incredible discussions with our small group, it was really difficult to understand a lot of the time. If I wouldn’t have had a group to process, I’m not sure I would have gotten through it all. What I did love is that you can see the passion Chuck has for the Bible and the symbolism and connections throughout.

There’s no doubt this author clearly knows the bible completely. I enjoyed his discussions especially the Old Testament. Much is difficult to understand and he helped me. I’m firmly a Christian and believe Jesus saved us from sin, but I have grave reservations regarding a rapture. He didn’t convince me, but I am open to doing further study on the subject. A thoughtful reader and listener!

This is a very good introduction to the Bible, especially for those who have been reading it for years. You will learn a lot. I also recommend that you go back and listen to his YouTube videos on the same subject. He goes into a lot more detail.
