The best book yet published dealing with Hidden Bible codes,
By
This review is from: Cosmic Codes: Hidden Messages (Hardcover)
Chuck Missler's latest book is a masterpiece and is a must read for those people who want to cut through the chaff on whether the Bible is God breathed or just a collection of fables. Chuck does a marvelous job in providing background on the use of "secret codes" and discusses such things as cryptography and the different types of codes and ciphers used by man. He then takes the reader through the evidences of the hidden design of the Bible. One example of this is that God had already laid out His plan of redemption for the predicament of mankind as found in the genealogy from Adam through Noah in the earliest chapters of the Book of Genesis. From the Hebrew the names in English signify as follows. Adam=Man, Seth=Appointed, Enosh=Mortal, Kenan=Sorrow, Mahalalel=The Blessed God, Jared=Shall come down, Enoch=Teaching, Methuselah=His death shall bring, Lamech=The despairing, Noah=rest, or comfort. Put this together and you have the following: "Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow, (but) the Blessed God shall come down teaching (that) His death shall bring (the) despairing rest". It is the beginning of a "love story, ultimately written in blood on a wooden cross which was erected in Judea almost 2000 years ago". WOW! Chuck goes on by touching on subjects ranging from the heptadic structure (7's) found throughout the Bible, to "microcodes", including the mechanics of the Hebrew alphabet and spends only 3 chapters on equidistant letter sequences. The section on "macrocodes" is my favorite. Chuck goes into detail outlining "types" such as Abraham's offering up of his only son (son of promise) Isaac on Mt. Moriah as a model or "type" of God offering up His only Son on Mt. Moriah for the sins of the world. There is also a section on "metacodes" that touches on such things as DNA being a code of cosmic origin and that DNA is actually a digital, error correcting code of a three-out-of-four design, all evidence of a designer. The book goes on to encourage the reader to undertake a serious study of the Bible and talks of the basics of doing just that. The book ends with a chapter called "The Ultimate Code: You" and challenges the reader to deal with the eternal aspect of one's existence. This book is 505 pages long with 25 chapters. Each chapter concludes with suggestions for further reading, for self study. The section of appendices has an exhaustive list of Rhetorical Devices, List of Major Types, Old Testament Allusions in Revelation, list of Sevens in the Bible and an Eschatological Summary. This book does not go off the deep end as some of the other "codes" books do and is an excellent reference source. I highly recommend it.

For Those Who Like to Think,
This review is from: Cosmic Codes: Hidden Messages (Hardcover)
Chuck Missler's careful detail within his books tend to make his writing difficult to keep up with. Cosmic Codes is an exception. His chapters are broken up into headings that allow the reader to take a breath or to chew like the intellectual cows we tend to become. Cosmic Codes is not for the faint of thought, you have to be ready to think; to think beyond time, space and our predefined view of reality. Cosmic Codes also puts the "Bible Code" in its proper place. They do exist, you cannot escape the math on the odds, but Missler puts the evidence in its proper perspective. There are some errors here and there. For example, Rambsel notes the absence of Judas from the Isaiah 53 ELS findings. I have since found it within the text. However, considering the topic and the vast amount of cross-referencing, it is brilliant, albiet imperfect; Like Chuck himself. When reading Cosmic Codes, as with all other works by Chuck Missler, start by reading Acts 17:11 in the Bible; it is his caveat.

A most interesting book you won't want to put down.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cosmic Codes: Hidden Messages (Hardcover)
"Cosmic Codes" by Chuck Missler, helps confirm ones beliefs, not through faith alone, but through the complexity of design in the form of messages through symbolism and ciphertext, which our LORD has so diligently placed within HIS written word "The Bible". Chuck Missler takes you through an overview of these messages, systematically placed by JESUS CHRIST; to authenticate HIS word as HE proclaimed it. For those who consider the "Bible" as just another storybook, prepare to throw that view right out the window. I recommend that you hold on to your "brown britches" (Lord Nelson pun), for HIS coming is surely on the horizon. In reading "Cosmic Codes" one can enjoy the work of a man who has dedicated himself to proclaiming that love declared by our LORD, to all those who would listen. The choice to hear that message of love is now up to you!
