Chilling resurfaced letter from Sir Isaac Newton reveals his prediction world will END in 2060… and is based on Bible

A WORLD-ending apocalypse will take place 35 years - according to a resurfaced letter by revolutionary scientist Sir Isaac Newton. The ominous prediction, made by the groundbreaking genius best known for establishing gravity, was written in 1704 and are based on biblical texts. He based his 2060 doomsday forecast on a Protestant interpretation of biblical versions of the Apocalypse, such as the Battle of Armageddon.

This battle is prophesied in the last chapter of the Book of Revelation, pitting the forces of good led by God against the sources of evil led by the Kings of the Earth. Scripture states that the battle would dramatically mark the end of the world, before ushering in a 1,000-year era of peace brought by God. The theory was founded using dates listed in the Bible’s Book of Daniel to calculate the apocalypse, according to Stephen D. Snobelen, a professor at the University King’s College in Halifax.

Snobelen said that the founder of modern physics was “not a scientist” but instead a “natural philosopher". Newton believed that 1,260 years represented the time-span of the abandonment of the Church and the rise of “corrupt” Trinitarian religions, such as Catholicism, which some Protestants view as a cult. He decided that the date the abandonment formally began was 800 AD - the year the Holy Roman Empire was founded.

Then he added 1,260 years to land on the year 2060 for the end of the world. “It may end later, but I see no reason for its ending sooner,” Newton writes in his doomsday letter. The letter added: “So then the time times & half a time are 42 months or 1260 days or three years & a half, recconing twelve months to a year and 30 days to a month as was done in the Calendar of the primitive year. “And the days of short-lived Beasts being put for the years of lived [sic] kingdoms, the period of 1260 days, if dated from the complete conquest of the three kings A.C. 800, will end A.C. 2060.”.

Professor Snobelen said that Newton did not see a barrier between religion and science, adding: “Throughout his life, Newton laboured to discover God’s truth - whether in Nature or Scripture. The professor also claimed that Newton “did not involve the use of anything as complicated as calculus, which he invented, but rather simple arithmetic that could be performed by a child.”. In the Book of Revelations, Christ and the saints intervene to establish a global peaceful Kingdom of God that would reign for 1,000 years on Earth.

Newton believed that when this happened, corrupt branches of Christianity would fall and the true Gospel would openly be preached, according to Snobelen. However, Newton even questioned his own prediction that the apocalypse would arrive in 2060. The founder of gravity wrote in another prediction referencing 2060: “This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fanciful men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, [and] by doing so bring the sacred prophecies into discredit as often as their predictions fail.

“Christ comes as a thief in the night, [and] it is not for us to know the times [and] seasons [which] God hath put into his own breast.”. The foreboding letter remains on display at Jerusalem's Hebrew University. It is thought that Newton wrote enough papers to fill 150 novel-length books during his decades-long career in science. Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian and author.

He was born on January 4, 1643, in England, and died on March 31, 1727. He attended Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied mathematics, physics, and astronomy, earning a degree in 1665. He is best known for formulating the laws of motion and universal gravitation. He proposed that every mass attracts every other mass, which explains both falling objects and the motion of planets. Newton invented the first practical reflecting telescope, improving upon the existing refracting telescopes of his time.

His most famous work, "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica," published in 1687, laid the foundation for classical mechanics. He conducted groundbreaking experiments with light, demonstrating that white light is composed of a spectrum of colours. Newton was deeply religious and wrote extensively on biblical topics and theology. Newton is buried in Westminster Abbey. His work laid the groundwork for modern physics and mathematics, shaping scientific thought for centuries.
