Book Review: Temple at the Center of Time by David Flynn
"Temple at the Center of Time" by David Flynn is a book receiving a lot of interest these days. I´ve never read Mr. Flynn´s book about "Cydonia" but I´ve read and noted the rave reviews. I once interviewed David and tried to grasp on with all my might to the intellectual prowess exuded, which was light years ahead of my simplistic thinking. Needless to say, he lost me a few times in the curves. Like a dazed boxer in denial that he was knocked out three times in the first round, I pretended we were still dancing toe to toe. All that aside, I was very interested in David´s new book, which promised to be a bombshell.
Outstanding author Lynn Marzulli (www.spiraloflife.com) got a sneak peek at it and he gushed over it on my show, The Big Finale. Would this book really live up to the hype? Is it really one of the most important, breakthrough works of recent years? I had to find out and pressed Anomalos Publishing for an advance copy.
Flynn sets us up for the "big news" coming by making the following statement in the introduction:
"During the formation of modern science and philosophy of the 17th century, the highest achievement lay not in the realm of discovery, but in rediscovery."
Ah, rediscovery. This is a very ambitious opening statement, indeed. I looked forward to a groundbreaking read as I turned to Chapter One.
The full title of the book is," Temple at the Center of Time: Newton´s Bible Codex Deciphered and the Year 2012." Chapter One immediately delves into the life and work of Sir Isaac Newton.
Newton was not only a great thinking in physics but he also had extensive knowledge of the Scriptures.
As the book states, Isaac Newton understood the riddle of prophecy- a code, if you will, or perhaps a type of encrypted language lost on the masses by, among other things, time.
Newton believed that the end of days would happen in his lifetime and, therefore, studied prophecy obsessively. He published a work titled, " Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. John."
Newton lived during a time of plague and an "end of the world" comet that shook the English.
As the book explains:
"For two years during the fearsome plague and the fire of London, he lived with his mother at his home in Woolsthorpe, England. It was during this time, termed by biographers as ´the two miraculous years,´ that Newton developed every revolutionary scientific work for which he is famous. It is a distinct possibility that the productivity of Newton´s miraculous years stemmed from his conviction that the end of the age was upon the Earth."
Turning to ancient Babylon, "Temple at the Center of Time" (or, more specifically, author David Flynn) explains Newton´s expert understanding and analysis of the history of the Magi of Babylon. Magi had been in direct contact with the Prophet, Daniel.
"Despite the world renown of the Magi, the Bible records that Daniel was master of them all."
What follows is a complex explanation of Newton´s understanding of the ancient languages of Scripture and cryptography as used in his decoding of passages in the book of Daniel.
Newton´s book found great importance to a discussion on the Temple of Solomon. In fact, he spent a chapter focusing on the length measurements. He believed that the Temple intersected time and dimension, serving as a prophetic and supernatural structure. Both the first and second Temples symbolized the timing of prophecy.
Jerusalem itself is set in a pivotal locale.
"The description of Jerusalem as a terrestrial center point´, situated in the center of the world,´ is found in Philo´s Legatio and Gaium. The Babylonian Talmud states,"
"The world is like a human eyeball. The white of the eye is the ocean surrounding the world, the iris is this continent, the pupil is Jerusalem, and the image in the pupil is the Holy Temple."
Flynn examines the Ark of the Covenant and its´ symbolic representation of God´s interaction within the temporal existence. He uses a lot of impressive measurements which seem to be prophetically accurate in their own right. For instance, the author explains", modern satellite measurements between the temple mount in Jerusalem and the center of ancient Babylon correspond perfectly to the year and month of Babylon´s fall."
Chapter three discusses nautical miles. It´s pretty heavy stuff. While I personally can´t confirm the substance of these measurements (the old, trusty tape measure I use only goes up to three feet), it´s pretty fascinating and it´s obvious the author has done a lot of homework. It seems that a lot of Biblical names, events and locations have ´hidden´ meaning that are prophetic and purposeful.
Case in point:
"In the case of Patmos, where St. John wrote Revelation, the distance in nautical miles seems to reflect the prophetic content of Daniel´s writing of the last days." Did I just hear a collective ´wow´?
Flynn delves in head first with some absolutely amazing figures between locations and events that cannot be coincidental. There is just no way. Clearly, the author´s findings are unlike anything I´ve ever seen. Simply calling it mind-blowing is not even scratching the surface of justly defining this book. David Flynn has, to be sure, unearthed mysteries obscured by time.
In my opinion, Mr. Flynn proves that distances represent historical and prophetic points. Don´t believe it? After you read this book, you will.
"Temple at the Center of Time" discusses the significance of the number 33. For instance, 33% of one third of an hour is 19 minutes and 48 seconds. Yes, 1948 (remember what happened that year?).
"Temple" devotes a chapter to the Ark with more Earth shattering measurements guaranteed to send your brain reeling. Even the moon´s measurements and the Earth´s measurements appear to play a part in God´s extensive revealing of Himself in our universe and world.
Subsequent chapters detail important information on the foundation stone, the Dome of Spirits, Napoleon Bonaparte, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and British sacred measurement.
Amazing also is Avebury Circle, the massive "megalithic structure" in Europe. It is of unknown origin and age, yet its´ measurements "are a geometric representation of the same numbers encrypted in Daniel´s writing on the wall." Incredible, isn´t it?
Here´s another interesting puzzle piece:
"The latitude of the Avebury Circle was established with such precision that it underscores the importance of ´2520´ as key to the circle´s intended message."
Later in the same chapter another piece connects:
"If 2,520 years are counted forward from the fall of Babylon in 539 B.C. and the 33 years that Christ walked the Earth are subtracted, the year is A.D. 1948, the rebirth of Israel."
Well into the book, David Flynn tackles the number 666 and the Antichrist. Yes, there are nautical miles involved in the temple that also tell the story of the number of the beast. Fascinating!
No pages are wasted in "Temple at the Center of Time" as the facts and figures presented are sure to shock, overwhelm and excite you. Also, despite the fact that Flynn´s genius is apparent, he has written a book that will be understandable to all. The question asked in the book (without asking it) seems to be, could God be speaking to us in the mysteries that Isaac Newton and David Flynn have discovered?
As "Temple" points out, Newton did eventually come to realize that the end of days would probably not happen in his lifetime.
Newton believed the year could be 2060.
"As described by the prophet Daniel, and John in Revelation, the revived Roman Empire would rule for one "week," a period of 7 times 360 days, or 2,520 days total (also, remember the value of the writing on the wall). In the midst of this week, at 1,260 days, the Antichrist will desecrate the future temple in Jerusalem. However, instead of assigning 1,260 days of the Antichrist´s reign before his desecration of the temple, Newton assigned years."
Newton also believed that in that day the Pope would be the Antichrist.
There is also an unbelievable chapter on crop circles with an explanation I hadn´t considered.
There is also a chapter on America that is worth the price of the book alone. Again, Flynn´s detailed facts about dates and measurements add up (no pun intended) to some pretty shocking and disturbing evidence never seen before.
Flynn has gone several steps beyond Newton.
It is at this point that, if I liked the book, I´d tell you that I recommend it. This isn´t just a book, though. It´s a crucial finding, an important discovery.
I´m stunned. Lynn Marzulli was right.
"Temple at the Center of Time" is not only highly recommended, but you have got to get this book.
