[Following is a volunteer review of "Roadmap to the End of Days" by Daniel Friedmann.]

Have you ever walked around in a maze? Have you endlessly thought about human history and humanity? Are you afraid history will repeat itself? Moreover, what do you think will happen if you reach the end of a maze called the history of time? These are a few of the questions you will find in Roadmap to the End of Days: Demystifying Biblical Eschatology To Explain The Past, The Secret To The Apocalypse And The End Of The World (Inspired Studies) (Volume 3) by Daniel Friedmann.

It is about the roadmap regarding God's plan for history and humanity as described in Biblical writings and history, the default scenario in which the end of days will come about, the chain of events that will lead in the default scenario for the end of days and the timeframe, in which the default scenario of these events will occur.

Adam sins cause the snake-introduced doubt in Eve. In Hebrew, Amalek means doubt. Doubt intended to stop their divine goal. In which the snake won by convincing Eve to eat the fruit. It was not until Adam ate the fruit that good and evil mixed. Thereafter, the divine presence of God left the Garden. And the closeness to and separation from God was lost and doubt entered into the world. The snake now accused as the root cause of birthing the Amalek nation.

The Amalek nation and its purpose exist. Such as the historical events beginning with the conflict between Jacob and Esau, concurring with the Turko - Italian war; foretelling of a future to war against Gog and Magog; an event that kicked-off World War I and World War II; as well as the 9/11 attacks and the on-going wars. But due to cultural relations, we still do not know who the Amalek nation is.

We will win the war against the Amalek nation, in its entirety so that the divine purpose will fulfill. The "Torah is the blueprint for the universe and humankind's existence from a faith-based perspective and it is drawn from a tradition of oral and written principles". Pronouncing, "we must constantly remind ourselves that there is a divine plan dictating a definite time (God's default timing) for every particular event in the world.

This brings me to why I like this book. It has helped me to understand that the end of days does not necessarily mean living in the end times. But it is a roadmap about the Abrahamic faiths ending days of the world to come. I too like that it speaks in a non-offensive manner. I also appreciate the Biblical references written in the chapters.

Although necessary to clearly understand the book's context, I do not, however, like the appendices, endnotes (including all references), and the glossary of terms used in the main text and toward the end. My Kindle reader used the extra time to read them.

I absolutely rate Roadmap to the End of Days: Demystifying Biblical Eschatology To Explain The Past, The Secret To The Apocalypse And The End Of The World (Inspired Studies) (Volume 3) 4 out of 4 stars . It is my type of spiritual book. I did not locate any major unedited errors. I highly recommend it to believers and non-believers of God.

I further understand the Bible intentions by stating, "that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish". It is up to us to understand that today's events are a part of God's process. The hope is that we will choose to obey His divine plan versus our human actions. Congratulations to the award-winning author, Daniel Friedman on an incredibly inspired study.

An almost-perfect, highly-rated award-winner's book that will bring us closer to purity and redemption regardless of our belief or non-belief in God will surely land in my Want to Read list; my only drawback is the title, which I'm not a bit too comfortable with. Thank you for your insightful review.

Wonderful Espie! In spite of the title, the information provided is certainly essential and insightful to all who reads it. Thank you very much for stopping by to read and reply.

While I respect everyone's beliefs as long as they're not harmful and I do believe there's much to learn both from history and from the Bible, I'm not interested in predictions or in thinking about the end of times. But if thinking about it helps people become kinder and better humans, I'm all for it.
Thank you for your thorough review.

That's quite a mouthful for a title! I'm not religious myself and don't really have much interest in the prediction of the end of the world. Thanks for the review though!

I always find it interesting how people view prophecies (both religious and secular - think Rasputin) and try to fit them to the current world. As someone who is non-religious and views most Biblical writing as closer to metaphor than fact, this does not hold a lot of interest for me. But I am glad that it spoke to you so clearly.
