I was saddened yesterday to hear that Chuck Missler had died aged 83, peacefully, at his home in Reporoa New Zealand. He was a valiant defender of the Bible, the most amazing book that humanity has. His wife, Nancy, pre-deceased him by some three years.

 

Chuck had an enormous IQ, and a huge range of interests. He trained at the Naval Academy before being commissioned into the USAF, where he qualified as a pilot. He gained his Masters Degree in engineering from UCLA, was a senior manager with Ford Motor Company, before being involved with owning and managing several Hi-Tech enterprises.

 

He brought all of his vast intellect and learning to his passionate Bible teaching enterprise, Koinonia House. One of his signature publications is “Learn The Bible in 24 Hours”, which I often listen to as part of my ongoing research and tuition. He was inspirational in connecting the Bible with Science, History and Prophecy, also in sharing inspired insights, such as the importance of Israel in God’s plan.  He also saw a message in the genealogical sequence of the names Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech. According to the associated letters in the Hebrew alphabet, the names together say: “Man appointed mortal sorrow. Blessed God shall come down teaching that His death shall bring the despairing comfort”.

 

I have no doubt that Chuck has found that comfort of which he was so utterly convinced.

I, and my keepers, send our condolences to his children and staff
