Isaac Newton(25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727) [ 1 ]was, as considered by others within his own lifetime, an insightful and erudite theologian. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ]He wrote many works that would now be classified as occult studiesand religious tractsdealing with the literal interpretationof the Bible. [ 5 ] Newtons religious views developed as a result of participation in an investigative discourse with Nature (the nature of the world) and developed from the apparent dichotomyof biblical reality from the increasing revealing of the structure of reality from investigation, and the subsequent challenges these truths of nature posed toward established religion for Newton, especially in light of Christian scriptural belief. [ 17 ] [ 18 ]Unorthodoxy was made necessary for Newton, and those affiliated with him, by the need for rediscovery of a priscatruth that had been hidden somewhere in the time of classical history. [ 19 ]By this they might have the capacity to engage in open dialogue with an investigation into Nature. In this conflict of ecclesiastical order and the liberating effects of scientific enquiry, he and others turned to thepriscain all the security of a classical civilization having been supposedly founded onbona fideinsights. [ 20 ]So, for them, the truth lay within the perception of reality attained by Pythagorasand communicated, supposedly in a secret way, to a specific circle of people. [ 21 ] Newtons religious views developed as a result of participation in an investigative discourse with Nature (the nature of the world Newtons eyes, worshipping Christ as God was idolatry, to him the fundamental sin Newton saw God as the masterful creator whose existence could not be denied in the face of the grandeur of all creation. Newton himself may have had some interest in millenarianismas he wrote about both the Book of Danieland the Book of Revelationin his Observations Upon the Prophecies. In a manuscript he wrote in 1704 in which he describes his attempts to extract scientific information from the Bible, he estimated that the world could end on 2060. In predicting this he said, This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fanciful men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, and by doing so bring the sacred prophesies into discredit as often as their predictions fail. Newton arrived at the year 2060 in a straightforward manner. He believed that the last world empire at the coming of the Antichrist would be a revived Roman Empire, a concept wholly embraced by eschatologists in modern times as well. He also believed that this had actually occurred in A.D. 800 through the coronation of Charlemagne by Pope Leo III as ruler of the revived Roman Empire in the West. Newton spent a great deal of time trying to discover hidden messages within the Bible. After 1690, Newton wrote a number of religious tractsdealing with the literal interpretation of the Bible. In a manuscript Newton wrote in 1704 he describes his attempts to extract scientific information from the Bible. Newton found physics for finding Jesus christ and his second coming Teachers taught his physics... but failed to teach us... Why he found physics....!!!!! Jesus is coming soon
