Daniel Friedmann and Daniel Sheldon, in the book The Biblical Clock, began with the questions every human must have asked or would ask, which are: "What is the origin of the universe? How did life emerge on earth? And what is the future of humanity? " According to the authors, one tends to respond to these metaphysical questions from one of three perspectives. The first perspective is scientific. Scientific investigations, theories, and postulations, according to those who hold this viewpoint, provide a concrete answer to metaphysical questions. However, this position is incompatible with the Bible. On the other hand, the second perspective holds that God created all things and that the Bible has answers to the origins and future of humanity. Nevertheless, this view does not align with the first perspective. The third perspective is for those who have a full understanding of the fundamentals of scientific postulations and biblical presentations but do not feel committed to one perspective or the other. However, these individuals contemplate whether the positions of science and religion are reconcilable. In this note, the authors present their view, which holds that the positions are reconcilable. With in-depth research and following the timings of the universe's formation and the appearance of life on earth, they narrowed down the unifying elements that provide an understanding of the metaphysical questions and the future of humanity. Consequently, the book provides proof that science and religion can be compatible.

On the positive side of the book, the author’s in-depth research, commitment to communicating his ideas, and vast knowledge of the subject matter are evident from the first pages of the book. In like manner, Daniel Friedmann is recorded to have written three books, "Genesis One Code," which discussed how the dates of key events as regards the development and appearance of life on earth align with the scriptures. "The Broken Gift" deals with the early history of humans. "The Road Map To The End Of Days" focused on the end of days and viewed history from a supernatural perspective, thus enabling the discovery of events and timing of the end of days. Furthermore, Daniel has a fourth book that will be published titled "Mysteries Of The First Instant" that will explore the limitations of science. It is unquestionable that an author with this wealth of experience and research depth can chronologically present the historical origin and end of days as contained in the scriptures and postulated by science. Relatively, the book is a compendium of research knowledge about the key metaphysical questions all humans ask, and this makes the book amazing. On the book’s overview, the title is appropriate, the table of content is exhaustive, and the chaptering and division into parts is beautiful. The language of writing is professional. The sentence structure and use of words are commendable. It is a great book.

Although the book is magnificent, I feel the book is too broad and this makes the ideas contained within the book seem scattered. I recommend that the author divide the book into volumes. Although the book is divided into parts, I strongly recommend volume publication. On another note, the author added sources and still added endnotes. The pages and ways of presentation of these two similar things make the book appear bulky and extend the pages. Similarly, the book has five hundred and forty pages, and that is a whole lot of pages and is discouraging to a lazy reader.

I rate this book 3 out of 4 because it was exceptionally well edited. The depth of research is amazing. The book also introduced a new perspective on the question of human origins. The book is also exhaustive and chronological. However, the book is too broad, making the ideas seem scattered. Consequently, the above rating is appropriate.

I recommend this book to researchers in the field of metaphysics. It is also a great fit for individuals seeking to understand the truth about human nature and the universe.
