Newton's prophecies
Newton is well known for his alchemical and theological writings. There is a table in https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/593608.Isaac_Newton, a biography of Newton which I read almost 20 years ago, which summarises Neuton’s prophecies. They were apparently derived from a close reading of the Bible, and not by any form of revelation. It’s not clear to me how he came up with these dates, or if the table has any validity at all. Another set of dates is reported here: https://www.sfu.ca/~poitras/cjh_newton_03.pdf, with the Kingdom of God arriving at 2060 – not sure how this fits with the dates in the table below nor do I get why and how the prophecies of Daniel play up with Revelations.
