The end of the world has been a controversial debate ever since. Some people — religious leaders — predicted that, the last day of the year 1999 AD, would have been culminated with the event of the end of the world. Their prediction was based on the ground that, the world critical events have been repeatedly happening over the span of 2000 years. This resulted into their followers selling their properties with the hope that their leaders’ prophecy would be fulfilled.
Daniel Friedmann, in his non-fiction book titled Roadmap to the End of Days, has predicted the end of days by the similar reason that, historical events have always been repeating themselves. In his book, he comprehensively addressed how the world critical events have been repeating from the first day God has created the world hitherto. The trend of events from the past to recent, has enabled the author to predict what will happen in future particularly the event of the end of days. The author argued that, our failure to observe God’s
commandments has moved away the cosmic purpose (to make the physical world to be a dwelling place for God) from us and hence lengthen the time to reach the end of days. In contrast, the author pointed out that, if we performed good deeds, the cosmic purpose would come near us and consequently hasten the time to reach event of the end of days. The author corroborated that, failure of Adam and Eve to obey God’s commandment of not eating the fruits from the tree of good and evil for further three hours in that day, has resulted into being eThe end of the world has been a controversial debate ever since.

Their prediction was based on the ground that, the world critical events have been repeatedly happening over the span of 2000 years. This resulted into their followers selling their properties with the hope that their leaders’ prophecy would be fulfilled.
In the first chapter ‘Introduction’ was brilliant. I love the explanation about a glass maze in trying to talk about the end of days. The maze as a path in between, expressing the beginning and the end and the exit. On the‘End of Days’,another subtitle in the first chapter, opens up what defines the title of the book. Here the author continues why he used the example of a ‘maze’ in trying to show the state of the world from the time of creation, the efforts made in the past up until this time and what would happen in the near future possibly in our time concerning the second coming of Jesus Christ, impressive example indeed. In this same chapter the author brings in the talk of other religions that believe differently from the Abrahamic faiths that when a person dies they get reborn in another place in incarnation, but those under the Abrahamic faiths like Christianity, Judaism and Islam having similarities about their belief in the Messiah to come and then specifically singles out two of the three to show the difference that is between them and that is Christianity and Judaism which seem to have beliefs too close to each other. Further, the touches another interesting part on the three Abrahamic religions when it states that in the Quran ‘Tawrat’ is close to Torah and the word ‘Zabur’ close to Psalms and ‘Injil’ close to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Another interesting part the author offers in chapter one is a great understanding of the Jewish year 5777 getting to 6000 which is now 2017 getting to 2240 (5777-6000 and 2017-2240), and this was the first shock to me when I first started to read with a critical mind like I said earlier on. In the first place I couldn’t agree, but when I later understood, I loved the book and was set to go on up to the end and due to this I have ended up getting more knowledge of eschatology than I ever had, great addition to my knowledge indeed.
In the second chapter up until the tenth chapter, the author deals with matters of creation, giving insight to us over events that did happen, looking at the second chapter on subtitle ‘The cosmic purpose and the struggle to achieve it’; It opens up our minds how God created the world and withdrew or concealed Himself so that we could exist and exercise free will. The author has an amazing insight in this where he shows that the extent of the concealment was such that one can even doubt God’s existence. This makes me believe why people were making idols because God could not easily be found especially where there were no major prophets to speak through for people to know what God was thinking or planning. This confirms to me that man has a certain emptiness which he cannot understand which only God can satisfy or fill and He deliberately put it there for man to seek Him so that man can know that he or she needs God in their life.The book goes further in the third chapter on ‘The Messianic Era’ where it gives scriptural foundation or background to the readers to know specific things that would happen and specific people that would be involved, giving foundational issues in line with the word of God. The fourth chapter on the ‘The universal timeline’ dealing with issues of historic nature. The fifth chapter on ‘The rhythm of history: looking back’ dealing with 6000 years in relation to what is now happening; specific issues of history becoming real or evident. The sixth chapter on ‘Looking at recent history’ dealing with happenings in the 20th and early 21st centuries relating events that happened and that are happening now. The seventh chapter on ‘Disclaimer’ showing that the interpretation of history is up to us and the future within our making. The eighth chapter on ‘Messiah is born and becomes king’ dealing with the cosmic placement of events happening now and presently which makes the future look brighter or clearer. On the ‘seventh millennium’, the way the author explains about it here is extremely pleasant to read, stating the events before the millennium comes, gives an example of pregnancy, then labor as the pain to endure during the great tribulation period and then rest as the millennium where you even forget that you were in labor pain looking at the joy that comes after delivery, great example indeed. The ninth chapter on ‘The world to come’ dealing with where we have come from and life in the world to come, and finally The tenth chapter ‘Conclusion where to from here’; Adam, free will, divine providence and the mission of humanity, final thoughts on our rebirth and entry into the seventh millennium.Then the author leaves time and space to open questions to him, brilliant. Also appendix, history glossary, endnotes, figures, tables all make the book end well in knowledge acquisition.
This summarizes my review; the author has an amazing understanding, gift and anointing in scriptural revelation knowledge about the end of days, interpretation and language not difficult to understand. I have found no errors in spelling or grammar probably because I was overtaken by the subject I love most-Eschatology which the author Daniel Fredmann has brought to the world. Therefore I rate this book Roadmap To The End of Days 4 out of 4 stars and urge all book lovers and every humancreature currently existing under the sun and those to come to please take their time to read this book and not just read it but own it and help others own it not just to their book shelves or PCs or to their minds, but to their hearts and consider it as dear as what is most loved in their lives.
