Isaac Newton: 2060 (personal research 10)

Question: Since Isaac Newton has predicted the world’s end in 2060, do you think it may be possible that the Rapture may not come till around that time? I say this because of two things. One Brother Newton was a genius and instead of a generation being 40 to 70 years, may it actually be 120 years. Moses had three 40 year periods… Egypt, Midian period and wandering in the desert. It took Noah 120 years to build the ark and then God closed the door. The Rapture of the saints is a type of door closing also, which is based on that very last person being saved and only God knows the number. However, we don’t know the time or date for the Rapture, so can it be that a generation is a 120 years. From 1948, 120 years, minus 7 will be very close to 2060. This is only a thought and I hope I am wrong. We should always be a watchman on the wall.

Answer: Sir Isaac took the year for a day concept from Ezekiel and applied it to a 1260 day prophecy out of Daniel making 1260 years. Newton believed that in 800 AD the Pope finally achieved supremacy over world affairs. He believed that the 1260 years corresponded to the duration of the corruption of the Church, so he added 1260 to 800 A.D. and arrived at 2060 as the date of the “fall of Babylon” or cessation of the apostate Church.
