La Derecha Diario They find a shocking letter from Isaac Newton where he predicts the end of the world
The British physicist predicted the year in which the world as we know it would come to an end.
Isaac Newton is known for his enormous contributions to physics and mathematics, but few know that he also ventured into religious studies and prophecies.
In a letter written in 1704, the scientist predicted the end of the world based on interpretations of the Bible.
When does the apocalypse arrive?
According to his analysis of the sacred scriptures, the apocalypse will occur in the year 2060. For Newton, that moment would mark the second coming of Christ and the beginning of a new era on Earth.
Newton, the Bible, and the Battle of Armageddon
Although he dedicated much of his life to science, Newton also wrote extensively on religious topics. He fervently believed in the apocalypse and Armageddon, a final confrontation between the forces of God and Satan that, according to the Bible, will occur in the last days of the world.
The letter that revealed his prediction
The manuscript, recently disclosed by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, describes Newton's reasoning for setting the date of the end of the world. According to the scientist, the Earth “will reset” and become the Kingdom of God.
The calculation of the 1260 days
Newton based his prediction on a biblical passage that mentions a period of 1260 days, interpreted as years. He wrote that this period, starting with the conquest of three kings in the year 800 AD, would culminate in 2060 AD. "It may end later, but I see no reason for it to end sooner," he stated in his manuscript.
What does this prediction mean today?
Although the scientific community doesn't support this type of prediction, Newton's letter continues to generate intrigue. His legacy in science is undeniable, but his interest in religion and the apocalypse shows a lesser-known facet of his thinking.
