Roadmap to the End of Days by Daniel Friedmann interprets the idea of the end of the world. Friedmann looks at the patterns in Biblical history and predicts the conditions that will bring about the End of Days. This is very much a religious book but it stands apart by taking a neutral tone. Friedmann is more focused on explaining what the End of Days means and how humanity is going to get there than pushing any particular religious agenda.

Roadmap to the End of Days is the third book in Friedmann's Inspired Studies series. You do not need to read the other books in the series to understand the message in this book. Friedmann wants the reader to know that the End of Days is going to happen and humanity does not need to fear it. It is helpful if the reader has a working knowledge of the Bible or Torah but it is not necessary.

Roadmap to the End of Days is a short book. The "roadmap" is little more than 50% of the book. The rest of the book contains appendices, an expansive glossary, and nearly 300 footnotes. These sources help the reader confidently understand the message and demonstrates that Friedmann has done his research. This is a well edited book with only one noticeable grammatical or formatting error. Friedmann uses a simple writing style for everyone to understand. This book focuses on a wide audience, not only religious scholars.

It is easy to be skeptical of Roadmap to the End of Days. The book focuses on the hot button topic of religion but a careful reader can look past that. Friedmann's book is a lesson on the history of humanity. There is a common saying that "history is doomed to repeat itself" and Friedmann points out exactly where that historical repetition happens. He compares the Biblical calendar to the Gregorian calendar then notes key events that mirror each other. Friedmann also advises the reader when the End of Days will happen and looks at how humanity might influence those events.

I give Roadmap to the End of Days by Daniel Friedmann 4 out of 4. It is a quick and easy to understand read with a clearly defined thesis. There are enough sources to please the most curious of minds. Roadmap to the End of Days may not be for everyone but if you are looking for a book about religion it is certainly worth the read.

Roadmap to the End of Days by Daniel Friedmann is a book that takes everyone on a journey to discover what is going on with Biblical eschatology and the end of the world, and to then glimpse the future and ponder the role you play in it. With this book we can learn about divine plan structure in order to examine biblical history from a different perspective with amazing accuracy.The book is very insightful using the past and present narratives and sources in the Torah-Bible as a guide, the Universal Noahide Code (UNC), a means to bring about personal and global redemption to all people. A fascinating, thought-provoking analysis book with a clear writing style. Thanks for the great review.
