1: some questions
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.

2: The Temple at the Center of Time
I found the book interesting, informative, and easy to read, even though I don't have a genius type mind.

3: Hidden knowledge easily testable.
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.

4: The Lost Temple of Solomon
If you are studying the history of the Lost Temple of Solomon and when the third temple will be built, this is the book for you.

5: Be not deceived. Let not your heart be troubled,
Fellow readers and searchers for the truth I give this book, "Temple at the Center of Time: Newton's Bible Codex Deciphered and the Year 2012", two stars only because of some of its more novel approaches that are good stepping stones for other research. However: "Take heed that ye are not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am "anointed"; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.... Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (Read Luke 21, Matthew 24, John 14:27)
Let me preface, I have been following "end of the world/ age" prophecies and books making money off of this market of fear in our culture for decades. Second, I do believe there is prophecy which indicates that there will be an end to this age of man as we know it, which is but a transition to another age with humankind still here on the planet earth - yes that is what prophecy says, but the information is vast and the potential end game points or dates are multiple depending on how you want to apply the numbers or scriptures. 2012-13 is but one possible date, but a weak one considering other calculations.
Could that year be pivotal, potentially game changing? Possibly. The end of the world for you, maybe, but not likely and quite seeded in fundamental errors of presumption that you will be gifted life to that date anyway. Today could be anyone's end of days. Then how should we live? Thankful, in the moment of now, occupying as scripture commands and not living on or feeding our minds and spirits with some presumptions of fear that we let rule our heart contrary to the scripture that your heart is to be ruled and reigned in peace. Of course, a book about the end of the world around 2018, 2029 or 2060 or 2250 are not nearly as compelling as a nearer date in time particularly if you want to sell more books to make more money - and yes all of those dates and others have data to be dates for the end of this age as we know it, if one is allowed the incredible latitude the author, David Flynn, gives himself in this book.
This book is but another, in an endless series, feeding off of the ever extending arch into the future of the end of the world hysteria. Or as the Bible warned: just another attempt of the spirit of the anti-Christ, qualifying that whether the author of this book is sincere or not I do not know, but none the less it appears to be a "merchandising of men's souls" with fear, and deception not in what it does say but what it does not.
Please, people, wake up and stop encouraging this shrill of books feeding off your fear of the end of the world. A book like this comes across to the skeptic and anti-theist as a marketing gimmick and to the discerning theist as cheap theology, historic revisionism, selective science and manipulated numerology that should make any honest person blush if they looked you in the face and tried to get you to seriously believe the number acrobatics and contortions that are performed in this book.
Like the one review here with only one star rightly divided, this book is filled with tortuous if not contrived and highly speculative numerology. There are so many logical errors and fallacies in the book that should be obvious for anyone that has some depth of knowledge in logical argument process, prophecy, eschatology, and occultist numerology that it is hard to understand why anyone would risk their future credibility to publish such a book considering the glut of such books we have already on the subject other than the purpose of making money and to apparently satisfy a still unfilled appetite of the masses for more apocalyptic books that apparently do not concern the readers of them when their predictions fail time and time again.
Do the numbers and prophecies indicate a time of high fertility for the conception of an age changing moment of critical instability on the planet around 2012? Yes, as they did with the year 2000, 2006, and too many times in the past to mention here, as well as do 2018, 2029 etc. The only novelty of 2012/13 is that we get many more esoteric players involved like the Mayan's, for just one example, who we are told were so mathematically and prophetically gifted with the lost "pristine knowledge" of the ancients that they could allegedly see the end of the world but curiously it is not studied much why they could not see the end of themselves and use the power of their purported intellectual and spiritual capabilities to save themselves.
The book uses the mathematics and superstitions of a dead civilization among other sources of data and the manipulations of the numerological studies of icons like Newton, who by his own words chastises books and authors like this one. But that does not seem to matter to David Flynn, who attempts to disprove Newton's calculations but then twist the same calculations with flawed, if not amusing logical fallacies, as a matter of convenience for the book he needs to sell. Using math that does not add up, to then use what he previously disproved to then prove the same with little scientific credibility. The end result to fabricate a book that is not much more than fanciful fiction, which probably should have been written as a novel more so than as a book to be taken seriously, considering the hundreds of books that have made these repetitive authors of end time shell-games already fat with money from readers who forgot the failed predictions of the last book they bought heralding the doom of all things.
Save your money and read and study vigorously the Bible for yourself and use the resources of the internet and a good library to amplify that study and let your heart be ruled and reigned in peace as the scriptures admonish but be not led astray to that ultimate goal of the Adversary of the great falling away from the faith before the son-of perdition is revealed that books like this are cultivating by the disinformation they promote. If you want to be really intrigued, research how whole websites and articles are created just as marketing tools to sell more books like this and not to disseminate factual knowledge or truth but to make merchandise of your souls and for the love of mammon.
