this is a companion thread to my other thread -
- the apocalypse -
this will have the Historicist Only tag to limit discussion
-
the material is from a book by isaac newton published long after he died -
it looks like he was asked to do a commentary on the apocalypse
-but-
never finished it
-so-
the editor simply put his stuff together and published it -
it is sometimes hard to understand and it looks like he changed his mind about some of the stuff he wrote at the beginning of his attempt at a commentary

the book

Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John by Isaac Newton

 

[victorinus]

The folly of Interpreters has been, to foretell times and things by this Prophecy, as if God designed to make them Prophets. By this rashness they have not only exposed themselves, but brought the Prophecy also into contempt. The design of God was much otherwise. He gave this and the Prophecies of the Old Testament, not to gratify mens curiosities by enabling them to foreknow things, but that after they were fulfilled they might be interpreted by the event, and his own Providence, not the Interpreters, be then manifested thereby to the world.

There is already so much of the Prophecy fulfilled, that as many as will take pains in this study, may see sufficient instances of God’s providence: but then the signal revolutions predicted by all the holy Prophets, will at once both turn men’s eyes upon considering the predictions, and plainly interpret them. Till then we must content ourselves with interpreting what hath been already fulfilled. Amongst the Interpreters of the last age there to scarce one of note who hath not made some discovery worth knowing; and thence I seem to gather that God is about opening these mysteries. The success of others put me upon considering it; and if I have done any thing which may be useful to following writers, I have my design.

if you don't have time to read the whole thing just scroll down to page 245
-
The heads are seven successive dynasties,
-
I have to include this because I had independently come to the same conclusion in my studies

 

[LastSeven]

Maybe summarize the seven successive dynasties in a post? I admit, I'm too lazy to read through it all with my thinking cap on.

 

[Straightshot]

Newton practiced alchemy and dabbled in dark teachings .... he was a false prophet
... and He was not a Bible prophet

 

[LastSeven]

Isaac Newton never claimed to be a prophet so he can't be a false prophet. He was a Bible scholar and a strong believer.

thanks for stopping by -
it would be better if you had a question

 

[victorinus]

the strange, secret history of isaac newton's papers
-
the newton project
-
Newton's Religious Writings

 

[victorinus]

I am amazed, stunned, overwhelmed by all this material -
I spent 20 years researching the apocalypse -
specifically looking for other views, other interpretations -
-but-
did not come across anything by newton
-until now-

No need for a question .... I already studied Newton's contribution and evaluated his errors long ago

His mixing of "scientific" discovery and the Lord's Word led the man off course .... not an uncommon thing

You might really like the book "Temple at the Centre of Time: Newton's Bible Codex Deciphered" by David Flynn. This book has a lot of "wow" moments. Things that make you see the entire world from a new perspective.

 

[Straightshot]

The preachers of the science fiction set of the tabloids

Do not be distracted by their follies .... those who make up stories and mix them with the Lord's Word

Something like Newton

so how did you find newton's contribution? -
for me it was the kindle that keeps track of what I read and suggests similar books that I might be interested in

 

[victorinus]

so in Daniel & the Apocalyps the horns of Beasts are put to signify the number of Dynasties, Dominions, or Kingdoms of which the universal kingdom represented by the beast is constituted.

 

[Straightshot]

"so how did you find newton's contribution?"


The Internet is a good source

 

[Straightshot]

"Dominions, or Kingdoms of which the universal kingdom represented by the beast is constituted."


In a sense, but understand that both beasts of Revelation are fallen angels that will do Satan's bidding on the earth during the coming tribulation

we know you won't understand -
you are a futurist -
this is about historicism -
hence the historicist only tag -
do you have a question?
