@nickkasmik: In a 1704 private manuscript Newton used biblical timelines to study history and prophecy. He interpreted a 1,260-year period mentioned in the biblical Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation. He anchored the start of this period to 800 AD, the year Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (800 + 1,260 = 2060). Newton anticipated the return of Jesus Christ, the fall of corrupt church systems, and the start of a 1,000-year era of peace and divine rule. #philosophy #god #christianity
