Learn the Bible in 24 Hours Hour 1: Introduction

Learn the Bible in 24 Hours Hour 1: Introduction



These are gleanings and teachings from my late mentor, Dr. Chuck Missler, I have added some notes and gleanings along the way.
• There are 66 books in the Holy Bible (Book)
• The Book of Psalms is usually counted as having 5 books, so, technically there are 71 books.
• By 40 different individuals
• Over hundreds of years (1,000-1,500 years)

• No person’s education is complete if they do not know their Bible. Yet, this essential “completeness” has been outlawed in our government schools…
• The veneration of the Word of God characterized the earlier leadership which established our precious heritage…

It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.
George Washington
George Washington was a “Deist or Theist” not necessarily a Bible believer, but a believer on how to gain certain insights to promote expand his own beliefs.

I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good
from the Saviour of the world is communicated to us through this book.
Abe Lincoln
Notice, Abraham Lincoln calls Him, the Saviour, it is believed that he was a true Born-Again Follower of Jesus Christ.

It is sobering to acknowledge the preciousness of our heritage that is that has come to us at such a high price…How tragically we have fallen!

The Bible is worth all the other books which have ever been printed.
Patrick Henry

For most of the past 2,000 years it was a treasure that millions willingly died for. And yet we all take it so for granted.

The Bible is no mere book, but it is a Living Creature, with a power that conquers all that oppose it.
Napoleon

Even “secular” leaders acknowledged its uniqueness. (And he was technically correct:

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

• Born in the East and clothed in Oriental form and imagery, the Bible walks the ways of the world with familiar feet and enters land after land to find its own everywhere.
It has learned to speak in hundreds of languages to the heart of man. Children listen to its stories with wonder and delight, and wise men ponder them as parables of life.
The wicked and the proud tremble at its warnings, but to the wounded and penitent it has a mother’s voice.
Henry Van Dyke

Misquote of Ben Franklin:
“Jack of all trades, master of none.”
It should read:
“Jack of all trades, master of One.”

A cultured person is one who knows something about everything and everything about something.
• A Christian’s specialization must be the Bible.

If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.
Daniel Webster

We are on a treacherous presuppose, more treacherous than we can imagine.
• We do have an authority crisis
Authority Crises
• Parental Authority
• Marital Authority
• Political Authority
• Academic Authority
• Ecclesiastical Authority

Here are some Leading cultural indicators over last 30 years:
• Population has increased by 41%
• Gross Domestic Product has increased by 300%
• Social spending has increased by 500%
And yet…there has been a....
• 560% increase in violent crime
• 400% increase in illegitimate births
• 400% increase in the divorce rate
• 300% increase in single-parent homes
• 200% increase in teenage suicides
• 75% drop in SAT scores

The Heritage Foundation:
• Since 1963:
• Divorce Rates Escalate
• Breakup of family units
• Acceptance of homosexuality
• Teenage Pregnancies
• Murder of inconvenient babies
• Crime Rates
• 1963…what happened that year?
We outlawed the Bible from our schools!

What’s Ahead
• We hope that our brief excursion will result in a practical strategic grasp of the entire Bible; a perspective from which you will be able to navigate your personal adventure which will enrich a lifetime, and more.
• We are going to reach far behind earth’s prehistory, behind the myths, legends and folklore, to discover....
The Ultimate Literary Adventure
– The Greatest Drama of all time and of all literature
– The Greatest Evils, betrayals, revenge, deceptions, and the ultimate Prince of darkness
– The Greatest Good the highest achievements, the noblest courage, the most demanding sacrifices, in fact the ultimate sacrifice the Kinsman Redeemer of all mankind, The Messiah-Jesus Christ

– The Greatest Romance a courtship, between a sovereign God and His rebellious offspring,
• the ultimate ironies of all literature with hidden surprises on every page, we will experience the rise of great empires as well as their fall.
• Through dreams, visions, and secret encrypted messages. Great leaders will discover letters written to them personally, from extra-terrestrial sources outlining their careers in advance, giving them instructions on how to proceed.
We will thrill of Heroes seizing victories at impossible odds
• Betrayals of thrones - retributions, vendettas, and conspiracies tumbling proud empires
– The Greatest Mysteries ever to confront mankind,
• The Nature of Time
• Paradox of Predestination and “Free Will”
• The Purity of God and the Frustrations of Man in the search for Good amongst the reign of Evil
• The Nature of Evil, where did it come from and why?

We will discover this ancient record anticipating the very latest scientific discoveries of:
• Particle physics
• Cosmology
• Hyper Spaces and Time Travel
• The discovery that we are dwelling within a Virtual Reality that is transcended by a larger one.
We will also discover:
– The Biography of a real Super Man his origin, his mission, and his manifest destiny, his under stated powers, his betrayal, which was even under his own control.
• By which he was to accomplish his Mission Impossible, the Creator Himself entering His Creation as a man to repair the damage created by a darkened intruder who had previously ruled the Planet Earth.

The Cosmic War
•  Extraterrestrial Sources we are in possession of an integrated series of messages, the Bible.
Which describes the origins, careers and destinies of super beings who are behind the scenes of our physical universe, a universe which scientist have recently discovered in a Digital Simulation that is contained within a much larger reality.
• Particle Physics has totally altered our perception of reality.
– Trans-dimensional Episodes, scientists now tell us that our Universe consists of at least 10 dimensions.
Paranormal activities are simply trans-dimensional episodes intruding into our reality
– The Pawns and the Prizes, each of us are both the Pawn and the Prize in this cosmic warfare, yet this isn’t fictional entertainment, it will be the determinant of our own personal destinies.

The Cosmic Questions
• The Ultimate Personal Adventure
This is our ultimate adventure, the ultimate Love Story written in blood, erected on a Cross in Judea some 2,000 years ago.
– The Miracle of our Origin
– The Mystery of our Destiny If this series is successful, it should ignite a passion, perhaps even an obsession that will inflame a lifetime of adventure that excites insight and satisfaction not available through any other pursuit.

Why this study?
• Enticement for detailed studies of a verse by verse commentary of each book in a lifetime hobby that is the ...Gateway to Eternity
• Gateway to Eternity
– The Urgency of Participation
• Our Unique Advantage
– Two Basic Discoveries

Two Critical Discoveries
1.
• We have in our possession an Integrated Message System: of 66 separate books penned by 40 different individuals over a period of virtually 2,000  thousand years...we discover an intricate, skillfully designed Integrated Message System.
Integrated Message System:
• Every number, every name, every detail of the text has been placed there by deliberate design and once you discover that for yourself that will lead you to the second discovery...
2.
• Which provably has its origin from outside of our space time domain.

YOU CAN PROVE THE BIBLE:
When you discover the integrity of its design and then recognize that it had to have had it’s origin from outside of our time domain.

One Integrated Message of Design
The New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed;
The Old Testament is in the New Testament revealed.”
Augustine

A Few Caveats
• The Word of God is inexhaustible. You can’t learn about it in 24 hours, 24 years would be insufficient…but we hope to gain a navigational strategic view of it all
• The truth is in the details. Every detail is connected to every other.
• Our Goal:
A Strategic Grasp of the Total Design, hoping to gain a conceptual ground
– A conceptual grounding in the major truths
– A navigational awareness to fit it all together

The Collapse of Skeptical Theories
• The Historicity of the Patriarchal accounts are now established
• Denial of writing in Moses’ day has been proven that theory was non-sense, we now have substantial evidence that it was much earlier
Gospels and Epistles:
2nd century? That is also, non-sense.
• Refuted by archaeological discoveries, documentary discoveries, and competent analysis. We have the advantage of modern discoveries and more competent scholarship todat…
• The Facts, the analysis and the evidence is “on the side of the Believer in Jesus Christ”

Some Preliminaries
• Shedding the baggage of our misconceptions:
• It is essential to “blindfold our prejudices”; the only sure barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it…

20th century science has vindicated the Biblical perspectives of reality
The Finite Universe:
The most profound discovery of modern physics is that we live in a finite universe. From a singularity of a beginning… to an ultimate thermodynamic termination as an ending.

– The Discovery of the nature of Time (Dr. Einstein) is that time is a physical property
– The realization of Hyperspaces that there are spaces of more than three dimensions, that has been proven in the laboratory.
• Our Finite Boundaries, we know that our Universe had a beginning
• Scientist also knows that it’s all winding down to an ultimate thermodynamic
termination as an ending.
• We are in a Finite Universe with a Finite span of time

Nature of Reality
• A Glimpse of Hyperspace
Spherical (3-D) Trigonometry you can have 90o in each of the angles
Plane Geometry - The rules we learned in school were for a universe of only two dimensions,  180o plane geometry that’s why we call it “plane” geometry; or “plane” trigonometry.
In spherical (3-D) trigonometry,
• a Triangle that is more than 180o (convex surface) implies a that we have encountered the curvature of the Earth which causes a convex surface;
• a Triangle of less than 180o implies a concave surface. This a hyperbolic paraboloid triangle.

Einstein’s Revolution
Special Relativity (1905):
• Length, mass, velocity and time are relative to velocity of the observers
General Relativity (1915):
• There is no distinction between time and space = a 4-dimensional continuum (confirmed 14 ways to 19 decimals).
• We don’t live in a 3 dimensional space we live in 4
• We have the advantage of modern physics, although few appreciate its aid to our understanding Biblical insights!

The Nature of Gravitational Time Dilation
Identical Atomic clocks are located at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado, and the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England.
• These clocks are accurate to 1 second per million years, the accuracy of your measurement of time determines the accuracy of your navigation, these kind of clocks makes the global positioning satellite system possible.
• The NIST clock ticks 5 μseconds/year faster than an identical clock at Greenwich.

 • Which is correct? Both clocks are correct! Time is different
• Boulder Colorado is 5400 ft altitude above sea level;
• Greenwich, England is 80 ft altitude above sea level
Time is actually different at these two levels because of gravity
•  Atomic clocks are faster by the rate of 10 -16  sec/meter elevation.
Time speeds up the higher we go up
• Other demonstrations include the aircraft experiment of 1971 where the plane traveling eastward...lost 0.059 microseconds and the one flying westward gained 0.273 microseconds
Notice:
• The plane traveling eastward lost 0.059 microseconds and the one flying westward gained 0.273 microseconds, accounting for the Earth’s rotation, etc., this is exactly what Einstein’s formula predicted!

Two Hypothetical Astronauts
And a classic is the hypothetical trip to Alpha Centauri by the twin astronauts...
• Time is not uniform:
It is a physical property that varies with mass, acceleration and gravity…among other things...
• We exist in more than three dimensions (apparently 10). This physical insight will dissolve most theological paradoxes…

The Nature of God
Is God subject to the restrictions of mass? Acceleration? Gravity? God is not simply One who has “lots of time,” He is outside of the restrictions of time
This uniqueness is His Personal Imprint…From Outside of Time.
Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the High and Lofty One, that inhabiteth eternity

Since God has the technology to create us, He certainly has the means to get a message to us…but how does He authenticate His message so that we know that it is really from Him, and not a contrivance or a fraud?
Isaiah 46:10
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done...

Hyper-dimensions: Beyond Euclid (>3 Dimensions)
June 10, 1854:
The most important mathematical lecture ever given…
It took over 60 years for it to be applied…
• George Riemann’s lecture on Metric Tensors.
1915: Einstein, Four-Dimensional Space-time:
Einstein went to his grave frustrated over his inability to reconcile issues which subsequently yielded by applying his previous insights.
1953: Kaluza-Klein: 4+n Dimensions (Light & Super-gravity).
1963: Yang-Mills Fields (Electromagnetic & Both Nuclear Forces).
1984: Superstrings, 10-Dimensions (The current thinking among quantum physicists is that our universe consists of one-dimensional “superstrings” vibrating in 10 dimensions…).

Dimensions of “Reality”
Nachmonides a 13th Century Jewish Scribe:
• Stated that there are 10 dimensions, but only 4 are “knowable”  (Commentary on Genesis, 1263).
Particle Physicists (20th Century):
• Stated that there are 10 dimensions, 4 are directly measurable: (3 spatial + time) and the other 6 are “curled” into less than 10-33 centimeters, and thus inferable only by indirect means.
• We have spent billions of dollars building elaborate particle accelerators to learn what Nachmonides discovered by doing his homework on Genesis One!
• Dr. Missler (humorously state) ”There are only two kinds of people who are
able to deal with hyperspaces (spaces of more than 3 dimensions): mathematicians with special training and small children.”
But we can gain some useful insights by examining a two-dimensional universe…

How would you communicate a 3-dimensional Object to a 2-dimensional universe?
By a 2-dimensional projection?
                                 
 Mr. & Mrs. Flat Mr. & Mrs. Flat 




Figure 1. Two-dimensional "Flatland"                         Figure 2. Two-dimensional "Flatlanders"  illustrates the concept of God operating             can't perceive a hand a fraction of an inch 
outside the dimensions of our universe.                        away, because the hand is outside of their                                                                                                          two-dimensional universe.



















Compared to God we live in "Flatland" we are not able to perceive these other dimensions outside of our time frame.



Ephesians 3:17-19 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Four dimensions?
The Panorama of History
Our venture will span the entire span of human history—from the singularity of its beginning, to the climax of history as we know it.
• The Book of Genesis covers an amazing portion of it and lays the groundwork for all that follows…

Why Now?
• We believe that we are being plunged into a period of time about which the Bible says more than about any other period of time in history…including the time that Jesus walked the shores of Galilee and climbed the mountains of Judea.

• You will be unable to understand the events of the coming months and years unless you are knowledgeable about the classic Biblical Scenario that is presently leading to the Climax of All History.
It will, indeed, be an adventure without equal.
Fasten your seat belts! It’s going to be the most impacting event of your life.

Matthew 5:17-18
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come
to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth
pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Are There “Hidden Messages” in the Bible?
Proverbs 25:2
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but it is the honor of kings to search out a matter.

The secrets of the Torah (5 Books of Moses) are revealed in the skipping of the letters.
Rabbi Moses Cordevaro, 16th century

“Equidistant Letter Sequence?”
Rips explained that each code is a case of adding every fourth letter to form a word.
Read the code
Dr. Rips was among the Hebrew scientists that began to explore the Torah with advanced computer techniques… and rediscovered some of what the ancient sages had long ago known… and that Rabbi Weismandl had rediscovered in the interval between the two World Wars…

John 5:39
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are
they which testify of me.

Architecture: A Comparison of Man and Machine:
Hardware vs. Software
Hardware does not determine behavior: software does. Software has no mass.
The real YOU is software, not “hardware.”
(Your hardware has mass; your software doesn’t) What has no mass, has no time: it is
eternal…
