Hidden Treasures: In the Biblical Text
For the novice as well as the sophisticate, this book is full of surprises. It includes subtle discoveries lying just "beneath" the text -- hidden messages, encryptions, deliberate misspellings and other amendments to the text -- that present implications beyond the immediate context, demonstrating a skillful design that has its origin from outside our space and time. Drawing upon over forty years of collecting, Chuck highlights in this book many of the precious nuggets that have become characteristic of his popular Bible studies around the world. It is guaranteed to stimulate, provoke, and, hopefully, to disturb. It will confound the skeptic and encourage the believer. It is a "must read" for every thinking seeker of truth and serious inquirer of reality.

Wow! Amazing nuggets of info about the bible. This is where the gospel message being found in the names of Genesis 5 is found. I found the chapter on all the hidden stuff within Isaiah 53 mind boggling. I would have given this 5 stars but there are some things that are just to complex to understand and I don't think he did a good job of breaking them down. Small book...i read it in a day. I knew the bible was amazing but I was really blown away by some of the things I read in this little book. Definitely a good read!

Although the author goes out of his way to present his assertions as being built upon unquestionable deductive reasoning, mathematics and scientific facts, all 'Bible Code' horse hockey has long since been debunked by mathematicians. And when you strip away all of the pseudo-logic and other desperate attempts to square the circle, this book is merely another meaningless game of 'If you cherry-pick, twist and re-interpret the Bible 'til it says whatever I want it to say, then I am right about everything, including the things which are objectively false and that I've just pulled out of thin air.'
"14 + 3 = 17. The day of his Resurrection was thus the 17th day of the 7th month. Thus God arranged for his new beginning of the planet earth to begin on the anniversary in advance of our new beginning in Christ..."
...On the day that the terms 'Reaching,' 'Stretching' and 'Circular Reasoning' were redefined, we all just sat back and laughed.
Indeed, I had to laugh out loud when the author suggested that Jesus was talking about 'The Rapture,' a bizarre myth based on a fever dream which didn't exist until the 1800's and has no Biblical basis of any kind. (Unless of course you count the very same cherry picking and twisting of verses until they say whatever you want them to say.) Having also known that it would only be a matter of time before the author brought up 'Macro Codes,' (another pitiful attempt to declare that the coming of Jesus was prophesied by the Old Testament,) as soon as the author mentioned the (near) sacrifice of Issac, I knew that the author was just recycling the same old garbage. And in the end, the only unique thing about this book is the author's ramblings about the 'Extra Terrestrial' origins of the bible, using scientific jargon to explain that God exists outside of time, and thus, that the Bible explains the future as accurately as it explains the past. (Ignoring the fact that the 'History' of the Bible has also been thoroughly debunked, but oh well.)

One to definitely stir the "gray matter!"
There is much more in the scriptures than most have ever explored! This Book is a good tool to get you on the road to deeper understanding of the Holy written Word of God. I highly recommend this work to you!

Fantastic! Gave me new Biblical knowledge I hadn't known before and have an even greater appreciation for the Lord word!

This book had so many interesting facts about the Bible and just made me think harder about understanding the Bible rather than just reading it.

Well? It's mostly good but...
I'm not convinced or excited by his Hidden language math games placed in scripture. If you count certain letters "in a foreign language?" Then you get all sorts of prophetic revelations. Maybe? Sure, why not.
Although most of humanity, and even the church, can't even read and comprehend the basic words on the page - what makes people think a few hidden magic math codes will inspire the masses?

Great book. Some of the mathematical and scientific equation was over my head but the point of the book was loud and clear. The Bible points to YESHUA from beginning to end. It is the Word of GOD and it proves itself time and again. Dig deep and you will find HIM.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
This little booklet gives so much glory to God! His design is amazing!! Each word has purpose. Praise God! This makes me so excited to serve a God who is so perfect and has perfectly orchestrated everything! i've got to get my hands (and eyes!) on all of Chuck Missler's other books!

Soft and easy to read laying a path of consistency with the word of God and a worthwhile read that will ease you into more complicated works on Numerology. This is not a book of depth but it is refreshing and one I would use again and again to reference others to read.

Little book full of interesting stuff! Chuck Missler isn't easy reading at times, because he usually goes pretty deep. You've got to be paying attention.

Truths revealed
This is a great little book highlighting some of the many codes/treasures found in the Bible. It’s a quick read, but has some detailed information not to be missed.

I absolutely love this man Chuck Missler, whom the Lord led me to around a year past. Missler was shown many, many hidden Bible Truths and i would urge anyone, most especially skeptics who have scientific minds, to take a good look at the evidence revealed in this book (and video presentations) and to 'think again'.
Ivan Panin, a Victorian era secular mathematician who discovered ie was 'shown' many Truly amazing Bible codes, of which was enough to convince & convert Panin into a bona fide believer in the faith. Al Neal of Fire of the Lord Ministries was also shown many 'mysteries' of the Bible.
Other extremely notable works are from Gail Riplinger, who exposes witchcraft in pretty much all modern bibles (including the NLJV),
And that of Truth is Christ channel with a young guy named Brandon, who has been led to 'the' most staggeringly mind boggling codes, all found in the King James Bible 'only'.
"It is the glory of God to conceal a thing; but it is the honour of kings (you&i) to search out a matter"
Proverbs 25:2
NOTE: it is Friday 14th June, 2024 and this info is continued from "Underdogs, Mans Best Friend" re info of my time spent in Israel and end-time news.
I have just recently been led to a new brother in Christ by name of Daniel Larimer, who was posting under the name of bytemaster, but has (of yesterday) just changed this to, Blow the Shofar,
But this new name does not appear to direct one to Daniel' channel on said popular media outlet (rhymes with chew-lube),
Anyway! Do please attempt to take a look at what Daniel has to offer by way of very revealing info which uses both Scripture, Patterns/historical evidence and the sun, moon and stars ie Heavenly Signs, to make his case.
In essence, what Daniel has surmised thru careful studying of all the above, is that we, our world, are sett to go thru some very testing and trying times here on this earth very soon,
I would say any time from today onwards.
I urge anyone who is a True follower & believer in Jesus Christ to go and take an earnest look at the 'evidence' and make their own conclusions, for the verifiable evidence of the Heavenly Signs alone are enough to make one sit up and take notice in my honest opinion.,
Yea, it can be somewhat annoying when one puts their faith in something someone espouses, only for it to come to nought,
But it would be far more annoying in my honest opinion if nothing was said and it turned out to be True,
Causing one to possibly miss out on their 'reward',
I myself only post here as i feel led to and do so for no material gain,
I do so because it feels like the right thing to do at that given time,
And, more importantly, i believe that i do it for the glory of GOD (potentially) and not that of my own vain-glorious pursuits.
NOTE: i was led to Ezekiel 3:18-21 earlier today, along with that of the first 20 verses or so of Ezekiel 33,
In essence, the verse is informing the reader (servant/saint/watcher/you&me) to make sure that you pass on what the Holy Ghost has imparted to you to pretty much everyone that you can, lest you be held to account yourself for not doing so (please go read for yourself),
I feel that this verse is especially relevant for our time-line today, for 'all' the signs in the world thus far 'plainly/clearly' point towards the end of the end of days in this present age/world which we currently find ourselves in,
And so, it has been impressed upon myself to make it patently clear to anyone reading this message to go and look at the works of names of the individuals highlighted here,
Most especially that of Daniel Larimer and his extremely insightful works on the rapture of the worlds children & Body of Christ,
There are around 14 videos in all concentrating just on the rapture (the miraculous work of Almighty God on the faithful few & those deemed innocent of transgression/sin ie Children),
Dont think that i dont know how absurdly preposterous this sounds to most people, including many brethren in the Faith,
But i have grown to understand (wholeheartedly i hope) that the Word of God 'stands' and as such 'will' come to pass,
I believe sometime later this year in October,
But it really could happen any time soon based upon the evidences ie Signs & Scripture,
And almost immediately after will come the fall of that great city in Revelation 17,
I, myself, believe this will be London (UK) and not America,
We shall all see soon enough no doubt;
www.youtube.com/@blowtheshofar
"For when they are declaring peace & safety, then shall sudden destruction cometh upon them"
1 Thessalonians 5:3
So, whatever event happened before this verse highlighted here, which many Bible believers to be in ref to a nuclear event, as do i, will be seriously overshadowed by the worlds media (thru Satan the devil who 'is' the god of this world), who will very likely downplay the disappearance of the worlds children/faithful very convincingly,
As we are informed in 2 Thessalonians 2 that those people that had not the love of the Truth in them would be given over to a strong delusion (deceit),
I believe all this, and more events in Israel and the surrounding area, will happen this year,
We shall all see soon enough,
But in the meantime i cannot over emphasize the importance of having to look for oneself the Truth/validity of what you read here,
Please pray for discernment & light in these very dark times,
I wish you well in your endeavours if you do decide to do just this.
Furthermore! It certainly looks as though we are being set-up by our friends the elites,
Who look for all the world to be 'playing us off' by leftist lunacy antics ie banana republic policy,
To Donald Trump's more 'reasoned' rhetoric (in light of the current craziness) but, which is to include the return 'and' introduction of State Run Religion,
In the so doing paving the way for the NWO and it's one World Religion,
I believe this will happen 'anytime soon'
But will most likely happen 'just as soon' as the children and Body of Christ have been raptured out of the world,
Which will very likely be witness to 'shocking' events taking place in an attempt by Satan the devil to cover up the disappearance of all the children (GOD willing) and the Church ie Body of Christ (i believe this will not be too many adult people, just those individuals who have been 'obedient' to the commands of Jesus Christ and overcome and endured the world 'every day', even unto death if need be),
Deception 'is' the greatest ie most effective weapon at the devil's disposal,
So, with this in mind, make sure that you are not deceived by "testing/proving 'all' things - holding fast to that which 'is' good ie Truth"
1 Thessalonians 5:21
Please go look and satisfy yourselves, as i feel it is very important that 'all' do so, not just professed Christian's in the Faith.
"BELOVED, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.
And every Spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God: and this is the spirit of anti-christ, whereof ye have heard that it must come, and even now it is in the world.
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He Who is in you, than he who is in the world" 1 John 4:1-4

This was my first book I've read by Dr. Chuck Missler and I learned quite a bit. Dr. Missler, a Biblical scholar and penetrating analyst, analyzes Biblical passages in the context of the entire Bible. You quickly begin to see parallels between Genesis and Jesus ministry.
Going further, Dr. Missler shows parallels with the cities of refuge, the book of Ruth, and the campaigns of Joshua and Jesus's life and death. His point is none of this could have been planned in advance by human intelligence--only a God outside of time and space can see the future.
This short book is packed with many more treasures. Happy treasure hunting.

Yoda was right, "Size matters not"! This small book is impactive as well as astonishing. Written as an easy to read informative page turner, it exposes the hidden messages within the Biblical Text that demonstrates that only "The Supreme Author of All Things" constructed it. Our Creator masterfully authenticates His message outside our time domain by describing history before it happens. Using coding methods that our computers are just now recognizing. Seekers of truth should read this encouraging gem here.

Eye-Opening
Hidden Treasures in the Biblical Text is an eye-opening book. Chuck Missler always had a way of teaching that was deep in theology, but easy to understand. That comes through in this work. The book shows the evidence of God’s hand throughout the Bible. The first chapter which shows God’s plan of redemption, hidden within a genealogy in Genesis, is especially amazing. Over and over, Missler proves that every part of the Bible is designed for our learning, discovery, and amazement.

As usual Chuck delivers an astounding fact filled booklet. Chuck uses his background in engineering, business, science, cryptology, mathematics, and more to prove the Holy Bible in numerous ways. He makes some convincing arguments that are hard to dispute. I look forward to reading more from this author. I would recommend this book to people interested in the bible, cryptology, or uncovering fun secrets hidden in the Bible.

What an eye opener
I loved the way Dr Missler explained the stories around the codes. I never imagined so much about Jesus and the end times were hidden in the old Testament. It is a great read for anyone.

Just completed Learn the Bible in 24 Hours and this is an awesome companion for that Study. Missler definitely goes deep in his studies, but for those who like to do more than a surface study of God's Word, then he is definitely one of the go to guys for it. His website Koinonia House is a great study and staying up to date on current events site too.

It was very interesting in parts. At some points it seemed a bit laboured and contrived. It would be interesting to see what patterns appear in other literature as a sort of test group.

Really interesting- would have given it 5 stars, but some was difficult to absorb.

Wow! Written by a master code breaker himself, this is a fascinating insight into deeper truths of biblical texts.
