Are we in possession of messages of extraterrestrial origin? If so, what do they mean? What do these messages from the edge of eternity portend for the future? What has the science of cryptology revealed about these ancient texts? Is our universe itself a "digital message"? Do these messages explain the interval between the miracle of our origin and the mystery of our destiny? Listen to the implications of our finite universe and the shocking discoveries of quantum physics at the very boundaries of reality and learn their significance to our origin and personal destinies!

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.

They have become a popular idiom even in secular literature, in connotative terms, of the "End Times". However, Biblically, they speak specifically of real events that will characterize an actual period of time that will appear in the future. Will that occur in our lifetime? How do we know? Do we need to prepare in some way? Or are there specific steps we should be taking? Join Dr. Chuck Missler as he explores the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

For thousands of years, most of us have either had or still hold to misconceptions, myths, legends, or traditions about Satan and the underworld. What is Hell, Hades and Gehenna? How do demons differ from angels, and what are their limitations and agenda? What is Satan's origin, agenda, and destiny? What is the Age of Hybrids? How do we prepare ourselves through spiritual hygiene and the armor of God?

Is our universe some kind of cosmic accident, or is it the result of careful and skillful design? What do scientists mean by "The Anthropic Principle"? When compiling the many physical and mathematical subtleties which make up our universe, scientist have discovered that a slight variation in any of them militates against the existence of life. Even at the atomic and sub-atomic level, the slightest variation in any of the primary constants of physics - some as sensitive as one part in over 1,000,000 - cause life to be impossible.

The final world dictator seeking global domination will also be an “Assyrian” who is here characterized by a bow, riding a white horse. It is interesting how many confuse this counterfeit with the rider of the white horse in Revelation 19. In chapter six, however, this rider is among some very bad company! Behold a White Horse explores the career of the first of these “Four Horsemen” who seems to have at least 33 titles in the Old Testament and 13 in the New Testament and the common term “AntiChrist” really isn’t one of them.

Dr. Chuck Missler, an internationally known business executive, outlines our current economic predicament and defensive steps you can take to lessen the impact of the impending economic crisis. As a Bible teacher for over 30 years with a ministry reaching over 40 countries, Chuck shares some key strategies to prepare yourself spiritually and practically.

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 raises the whole issue of the origin of evil. And why hasn't God simply wiped him "and sin" out completely?

Dr. Chuck Missler, a widely recognized Biblical authority, updates his classic study of Christmas for 2007. He explores the background, and myths, surrounding our favorite holiday. What really happened in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago? Who were the "Magi?" Why a virgin birth? What does a Christmas tree have to do with it? Each year at Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

Are there more than four dimensions to physical reality? Is it possible to traverse time as well as space? Is there a reality beyond our traditional concepts of time and space? The startling discovery of modern science is that our physical universe is actually finite. Scientists now acknowledge that the universe had a beginning. They call the singularity from which it all began the "Big Bang".

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 protege of Einstein's. Earlier, he noticed that, in plasmas, particles stopped behaving like individuals and started behaving as if they were part of a larger and inter connected whole.

For salvation, man must understand the purpose and power of the Bible. But how do we explain our faith? If we only rely on our personal experience to explain our faith, we are no different than any other religious mystic. Can the Bible be trusted or has it been corrupted over time? How do we defend the Bible as the inerrant Word of God? What does the Bible reveal about God and us?

The rapid rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has caused many in the world to wonder at its apocalyptic implications. We will examine this emerging problem with what I like to call the “Issachar Challenge”. When you consider the coalescences of current events in the former region of Assyria with Biblical precedents and prophecies it should not seem strange to see this region of the world once again at the center of the world’s prophetic stage. The question is, “What should we be doing during this time of great uncertainty?"

One of Christianity's most controversial issues - and one of our most frequently asked questions - involves the concept of eternal security. There are good scholars on all sides of this issue, yet we felt it would be useful to explain our own views on this highly charged subject. We believe that the root problem stems from a lack of precision in our definitions.

The celebration of the pagan festival of Halloween is now a multi-billion dollar merchandiser's market. Fifty percent of Americans will decorate for Halloween (compared to over 80 percent for Christmas). It is now the third most popular party activity, after the Superbowl and New Year's Eve. This is always a difficult time for Christians, especially those with children. It is also a dangerous time for some, since many of the seemingly "harmless" involvements associated with Halloween can also be "entries" for the occult, and can prove very tragic for the unwary.
