Sir Isaac Newton predictions:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'N')ewton, the father of modern mathematics, dedicated a large part of his life to a quest to decode the Bible which he believed to be the word of God.

For over 50 years, he studied the Bible trying to unravel God's secret laws of the Universe.

He was fanatical in his quest to discover the date for the Second Coming of Christ and the end of the world.

Scholars have spent years trying to unravel Newton's writings on the Book of Revelation to establish when he thought the apocalypse was coming.

For the first time, Newton: The Dark Heretic reveals the date he forecast is within many people's lifetimes - 2060.

The BBC was given rare access to Newton's original manuscripts in the Hebrew National Library in Jerusalem.

In 2060, Newton believed the dramatic events forecast in the apocalyptic Book of Revelation would occur: massive plagues and fires; the terrible battle of Armageddon between good and evil and the destruction and eternal damnation of the wicked.

Fantastic news,

Thanks for that because I could have sworn Armageddon was going to take place in the next 58 weeks not the 58 years that Newton reckons we have left.

Made my night.

Thanks again.

52 years?

Excellent.

Back to American Idle.

[Madpaddy]

Yes, I meant 52 years not 58 years.

Think of all the inovative TV between now and then. I'm looking forward to "America's Next Top Cyborg".

The 50th season of Desperate Horseshit sorry I meant Housewives will be unmissable also.

Drove past a church today with a hoarding that read "Draw close to god and he will draw close to you".

It got me thinking as to the sort of guy he must be...waiting for me to make the first move! And he wrote the book of revelations! Lol. Dude needs to see a shrink!

Mark 13:32 "But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone".

Newton for all his true brilliance as the father of modern science; Laws of gravitation, Calculus, Optics, author of what has been called the greatest achievement of a single human mind the "Principia", was a very superstitious person. He believed in Astrology.

When ribbed by one of his few close friends Edmund Halley, (of Halley's Comet fame), about his belief in astrology, his reply was "I have studied it Sir, you have not!"

haaaahahahahahahahaaaa....2060??? Not a chance we are going to make it that long!

[arretium]

I thought the world was going to end on December 21, 2012? What about that "Planet X" claim?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('vision-master', 'T')oday they call it Astronomy.

[SILENTTODD]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('vision-master', 'T')he Maya calander ends (or just resets) 2012. Planet X returning on 21, 12, 2012 is just rumor. Nothing more.

[vision-master]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'E')ven in Halley's day they made a definite distinction between ASTRONOMY-the study of the motions and properties of celestial opjects; and ASTROLOGY-how planets (and they only knew of 5 of them in Newton's day) somehow effected human events.

Don't relax just becasue armageddon is 2060.
2060 is just the final battle between good and evil. There is a whole lotta bad stuff happening before then, like the turmoil that leads to the coming od the anti-christ.
Personally I think timewise it looks quite reasonable.

But after thousands of years of fighting, wars, slavery and deceases, getting 1000 years of rule of God hardly seems good enough.
