Sir Isaac Newton 
Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St John ( Annotated and Translated Edition) 
Occult studies and religious tracts dealing with the literal interpretation of the Bible

Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727) was, of course, an English physicist, mathematician, whose Principia (published in 1687) founded classical mechanics, and described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion; his other major work is the Opticks . He was also, however, a fervent believer in God, and devoted considerable time in his later years to studying the Bible and biblical prophecy.

Isaac Newton was considered an insightful and erudite theologian by his contemporaries. He wrote many works that would now be classified as occult studies and religious tracts dealing with the literal interpretation of the Bible.



Newton’s conception of the physical world provided a stable model of the natural world that would reinforce stability and harmony in the civic world. Newton saw a monotheistic God as the masterful creator whose existence could not be denied in the face of the grandeur of all creation. Although born into an Anglican family, by his thirties Newton held a Christian faith that, had it been made public, would not have been considered orthodox by mainstream Christians; Scholars now consider him an Arian. John Rogers in 2019 stated, ‘Heretics both, John Milton and Isaac Newton were, as most scholars now agree, Arians.’



Anyone who’s interested in Biblical prophecy should want to know Newton’s thoughts on the subject.
