Newton's prophecies

[Depleted]

This belongs in the "conspiracy theorist" section. No evidence for the "end of the world" anytime in sight. Not going to happen.... Enjoy your time here...it's not ending anytime soon.

Actually this belongs back in the mothballs considering the person just admitted he's back even after being banned once.

Uhm I doubt that God gives you perfect years and all..Sounds like witchcraft to me.. Or mental illness...or both...

And I'm just plain ordinary "jb" (no capitals), nobody of any consequence...

LOL!

I have no qualms with you, mate.

Since not even Jesus knows the time of the end of the world, I have SERIOUS doubts that God would give YOU a prophecy of when it's going to happen.

How 'bout you just try to live each day ready for it to be TODAY, and stop all the silly pondering and calculating, trying to find out exactly WHEN it's going to happen. The end of the world could happen for YOU today.... THAT'S what you need to be studying about...

I am really relieved reading your assurance. I can now safely ignore the European Migrant crisis, The tension between the USA and Russia over Ukraine and Syria. Irans attempt to build Nuclear missiles and the worlds Economic and Environmental mess and ISIS. Also the continuous threat of a middle east war. I will sleep easy tonight.

And you should sleep easy.... Jesus told us countless times to "fear not.." if any of those things happen, there's NOTHING we can do that will change anything...

"Consider the lilies...."

this is the evidence of the world in a mess, not necessarily the end of the world

if anyone is interested, you can read Newton's commentary on the book of Daniel here, free. the 1733 edition is preserved online and is public domain:

http://publicdomainreview.org/collections/sir-isaac-newtons-daniel-and-the-apocalypse-1733/

this is the source for that '2060' date -- but in it he also gives other possible dates, none of them a 'firm prophecy' he stands by.
Newton was firmly against 'date-setting' -- this date was given as conjecture and guessing, the result of him playing with some numbers - nothing more.

Likewise, dear brother...

The things I mention are happening. We may not be able to change them, but we should be aware of them.

The world is in a mess and it will get worse. The idea that there is'' no evidence for the end of the world '' and '' not going to happen'' comes across to me as someone with acute denial problems.

Oh, I agree we should be aware...just not fearful.

He was certainly a great scientist, but don't rate him as a theologian (or prophet) as he held unitarian views...

just because he didnt accept church doctrine should not reflect on him as a Christian. another church doctrine was the world was flat.
