Calculation:

154 - 147 = 7

147 - 136 = 11

136 - 123 = 13

123 - 106 = 17

The differences between consecutive terms are 7, 11, 13, and 17. These differences are increasing by prime numbers.

The next difference should be 5 (the previous prime number before 7).

Now, add 5 to 154 to find the missing number:

154 + 5 = 159

∴ The missing term in the series is 159.
