“The Gospel must first be preached in all nations before the great tribulation, and end of the world.â€
Newton devoted a great deal of time trying to understand the secrets related to God and the Bible. In fact, he went to University to find a way to convince others of the existence of God. Largely unknown and unpublished documents, evidently written by Isaac Newton, indicate that he believed the world could end in 2060 AD. Despite the dramatic nature of a prediction of the end of the world, he believed the world was to be replaced with a new one based upon a transition to an era of divinely inspired peace. In Observations upon the Prophecies, his goal was to show that the biblical predictions had come true. This book was published in 1733, after his death.
