Missler is a prominent speaker on the subject of bible prophecy. Missler has had numerous programs aired on the Christian television station GOD TV, namely the DVD versions of his biblical studies "Learn the Bible in 24 Hours", "The Book of Revelation", "The Book of Genesis", and "The Book of Daniel".[citation needed] A Los Angeles Times article reported that Missler and co-author Hal Lindsey had plagiarized a portion of Miami University Professor Edwin Yamauchi's 1982 book Foes From the Northern Frontier in their own 1992 book The Magog Factor. A YouTube video in which Missler uses a jar of peanut butter to attempt to disprove evolution attracted media attention in 2007-2008.
Today... is the first day of the rest of your life
And I... I'm wishing I was there
But you're probably thinkin'
You know... I bet you don't even know what day it is
And yeah... That's something I deserve
Because for the last year or so
I haven't said a word
And when you made your plea
I looked the other way
But I tell you it was bullshit
And I'm wishing that you knew
That you're my only everything
And I swear to you that it's true
And I wish that I was there...
Today... is your ultra-mega, super-special day
And yeah... I'm wishing I was there
But you're probably thinkin'
You Know... you'd better not miss the last train to Loserville
And Yeah... You know, that's something I deserve
Because for the last year or so
I haven't said a word
And when you made your plea
I looked the other way
But I tell you it was bullshit
And I'm wishing that you knew
That you're my only everything
And I swear to you that it's true
