As a sincere follower and believer in Jesus Christ, Flynn does a good job issuing a prophetic "watch" notice, blending Biblical and secular accounts of historical facts with 'new' data. Most of this 'new' data is centered around linking distances from Jerusalem's Temple Mount to key historical dates which seem to defy mere coincidence. (Of course, most Hebrew Rabbis will tell you coincidence is not a Kosher word!)

While some of the logic and calculations may seem contrived, Flynn does a good job using new technology (specifically NASA's World Wind program) in calculating distances to key locations in London, Washington, Babylon, Mecca, Egypt and other nations who possess unique historical relationships with Jerusalem's ancient Jewish Temples. Many of these "distances that match key dates and symbols" range from 1,948 nautical miles from the center of London to the corner stone of Solomon's Temple. This matches up to 1948AD, when the British Empire established the Modern Nation of Israel. Flynn also shows there are 666 nautical miles between Mecca, Saudi Arabia and the Temple corner stone.

Flynn does a good job linking these calculations back to Biblical prophecies of Daniel, with some unique insights not published before. For example, Flynn calls out the unique properties of numbers such as 2,520 (equivalent to the number of days in Daniel's "week of years" as well as the gematria of Babylon's King Nebuchaadnezzar's `writing on the wall' interpreted by Daniel), 1,260 (half of 2,520) the constant pi and other numbers with their roots in the ancient Jewish Temples' architecture. He also makes some other very unique, interesting observations between the geo-positioning of ancient sites and their relation to the Temple. Flynn does NOT put forth this type of distance / date observation as a new "bible code" but rather explores Isaac Newton's Bible research as it relates to ancient prophecy and world events.

Other calculations are not as straight forward, such as the year 2012 calculated through a series of conversions between Lunar (Hebrew) and Solar (Gregorian) calendars, multiplication against Pi and offset by the dedication year of Solomon's Temple. These calculations are all contained within less than 6 pages of the Epilogue out of 296 total pages which doesn't warrant it as a sub-title for the entire book.

Beyond the time / distance parallel calculations, Flynn does an interesting job linking post-renaissance "illuminated" world leaders' beliefs from the Jewish Temple's vantage point. Facts are well cited in each respective chapter's end notes, such as the origin of the word "church", "ark" and "tau" in how they are inter-related to the "primal knowledge" or "priscia sapientia" avidly pursued by many renaissance scholars. Flynn makes subtle reference to the growing tension around 2012 as the end of the Mayan calendar and the potential for that time being a star gate through which the 'watchers' (implicit in Genesis 6, Matthew 24 and Jude) return to earth. Under no circumstances does Flynn pick any second advent, rapture or other prophetic dates but merely puts the reader on 'watch notice' similar to a meteorological tornado watch.

Bottom line: read the book. Flynn's ambassadorship for the King of kings is well reflected in this thoughtful piece of work.

I can't say that I accept all the connections and propositions put forward. However many are easily checked. All you need is Google Earth / calculator / Wikipedia to verify the claims. They will shake you no matter what your belief system is.

The connections between the bible, prophesy and universal dimensions cannot be coincidental. It is fair to say that the book reveals knowledge encoded in the bible that was surely un-knowable at the time that it was written.

"The calculations in this book are astonishing and simply put, cannot be a coincidence! Temple at the Center of Time picks up where Isaac Newton left off, mixes modern technology and the end result is absolutely astonishing!"

For all the information packed into this work, it is very short, very direct. It is a starting point for further study. Some questions: why does the author tie his findings to the Gregorian Calendar? Is this calendar without error? How would his figures fit into the Hebrew Calendar? Why is it significant that the distance between Jerusalem and Babylon equal the years before Christ? Are there other mile/time connections of intrigue? What would a circle of X number of miles around Jerusalem encompass?
I found the chapter, "A third of time", most interesting; it hints at a cosmic (as opposed to the Gregorian) calendar of which we know almost nothing. It hearkens back to Genesis chapter one where Elohim sets the stars and moon in place to measure times and seasons. I would like to ask the author these questions.

Being an enthusiastic student of the Jewish Scriptures, I was excited by the review for this work. A small part of my mind was sceptical, and it was the latter which turned out to be correct.

An apparent distance-relationship between Yerushalayim and various other cities or places, whose rulers' actions have borne directly on Jewish destiny? Perhaps... One would expect that the creator of the Universe would leave mathematical "signatures" in his "tapestry."

My biggest complaints about the book are the paucity of cases of apparent mathematical "relationship", the fact that the Gregorian calendar was used, rather than the Hebrew for date calculation, and the fact that that the author "flipped" between nautical and statute miles to make his case. The latter penchant gave the impression that the author was "tweeking the data" to fit his conclusion.

These things considered, the work was rather disappointing.

One interesting thing, however, was learning of Newton's passion for a "prophecy code" in Scripture. This one fact gives the lie to the popular "modern" notion that "people of faith are ignorant hicks."

I finally received Temple At The Center of Time. It was well worth the wait!
I considered myself someone who knew a lot about the life and work of Isaac Newton and this book reveals a new aspect of the man that I'm sure many will find surprising.
Newton, the genius who was the first to describe and predict the behavior of time and space understood the link between the author of time and space and His past dwelling place on earth. Flynn's work extends this understanding for anyone who might take the time to read.
I had the recurring impression while reading that I had been allowed to drink the clearest, freshest water after believing that my perpetual thirst was normal. You must read this!

Ignore the guy claiming this book holds no new information! This book makes a credible and documented case for the existence of deeper coding hidden in plain view of the pages within the bible! It's all in the history of the world and the bible, so if you only read one book this year please make it this one!

Every educated christian should read this book, it crosses the gap between physics, math and spirituality! It lays down in simple terms the science of God's work. Definite must have for your library. It is as useful in biblical numerics as Strong's Concordance is in other places of the bible.

This book illustrates that God is in control of the worlds destiny, and that everything is coming together according to his perfect will and timing. Interesting and brand new connections are made in this book throughout the earths history in relation to biblical events. God is huge, and we can only understand a small piece of his vast plan for this planet. Get this revealing, break through book today!

This is a fantastic read! One of those books you have to force yourself to put down. David Flynn does a very thorough job of foot-noting his research, and it is obvious he spent a lot of time on it. The history about Newton is well presented and the evidence he puts forth regarding the time and distance relationships between the temple and significant historical sites will make you sit up and take notice. The only way to discredit Flynn's book is to show that his math is all wrong - and I don't see anyone doing that. There is a weakness or two - one is that you are left wanting more at the end. Who knows - He may be working on that book as we speak. No doubt, there is more to be discovered. (But if Flynn is right about a major end time event happening in 2012, he'd better get the next book to print soon!)
