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. 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.

One of humanity's greatest minds brought to bear on Prophecy,
By J.L. Haynes (Three Hills, Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John (Hardcover)
The mastermind of Sir Isaac Newton yields results just as brilliant when studying Bible prophecy as when he turned his attention to the physical universe! There is in this book a consistency of interpretation in all the details of the prophecies of Daniel and of Revelation that I have not seen in any of the works of modern-day scholars. Isaac Newton seems to be completely true to the message of the Bible when providing his own thoughts on the Antichrist, the Beast, the Woman called "Babylon", and the "Great Tribulation". The integrity of Newton's scholarship and skills of exegesis give the reader a distinct impression that, unlike most writers on end-times prophecy today, when faced with a detail of interpretation that conflicted with his existing views, Newton would have gladly given up his prejudices in exchange for something better: the Truth. He presents an excellent example--perhaps the best I have read--of what is known as Premillennial Historicism. This is essentially the same view held by H. Grattan Guinness, E.B. Elliott, Matthew Henry, and Charles Spurgeon. In my opinion every pastor or teacher who preaches or teaches on the subject of the Last Things should have a copy of "Observations..." on his or her desk.

Good Interpretation from a Great Scientist,
By Steel Gator (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Observations Upon The Prophecies Of Daniel And The Apocalypse Of St. John (Paperback)
Isaac Newton's interpretation of the prophecies of Daniel and John's Revelation of Jesus Christ was a great surprise. He loaded his points with historic reference rather than 'This is what I feel is true' views that we read and hear so often today. Although I was impressed with his historic views of these prophecies, I was most impressed with his Christian faith. To think one of the greatest scientists of all time was a strong believer in Christ is simply awesome!

Eschatology 104,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John (Paperback)
This book gives you a great viewpoint from Newton on Christian Eschatology. However Newton is not easy reading and might require some prior knowledge of biblical prophesy. I would love to see any writings Newton did on the book of Ezekiel.
