About the time of the end, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the Prophecies, & insist on their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamor & opposition."
Sir Isaac Newton / Christian & Father of modern science
[ *Below commentary is by Rob Conrad [6/24/7] concerning News story above ]
Article shows Newton's accuracy in stating that 'the world would end no earlier than 2060.' Newton's statement lines up exactly with scriptures which show that the earth will 'pass away' at the end of the 1000 year reign of Christ on earth. Obviously, this will take place well past 2060, in fact, at least 1000 years or more from today, making Newton's Biblical interpretation 100% accurate.
Scripture:
'And when the 1000 years were completed....[Rev.20:7] "...the first heaven & the first earth passed away..... ' [Rev.21:1].
Newton added that his intentions were 'not to assert when the time of the end will be....' . Newton's wisdom is shown again in differentiating between the last 3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation [ 'the time of the end' ] which he knew would have to come first, & before the 'world would end' one thousand years later. [Dan. 8:17,19; 12:7]. Clearly, Newton made no 'assertion' or prediction what- soever about ''when" the "time of the end will be", as the News writer inaccurately portrays. This makes the writer's 'title' of his article inaccurate.
Part of the problem in the News article is that the News writer's misunderstanding of terms [ie. Apocalypse, 'time of the end', 'world would end' ] causes him to present Newton's beliefs erroneously as if today's world can expect nothing prophetical to occur until at least 2060. When in fact, Newton's beliefs accurately confirm [not oppose] Biblical insights & prophecies which have clearly lined up today for imminent fulfillment. [ Newton's view on 'antichrist' >> ]
