Physics can be divided into the pre-Newtonian period, which had changed little from the times of ancient Greece, and our modernpost-Newtonian period after he provided his three laws of motion, law of gravity, and themathematics of calculus. Johannes Kepler had just died in 1630, who had discovered three laws of planetarymotion, which Newton would derive from his own laws. Galileo had laid acornerstone of physics called "relativity" upon which Newton would build much of the rest of theedifice. Isaac NewtonSir Isaac Newton was one of the greatest physicists and mathematicians of all time, born inEngland in 1642, about 22 years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. This article is essentially a review of that book, focusing especially on the newcontributions he made to the study of the first two visions of Daniel, in identifying exactly whatkingdoms of the world are indicated.ġ. John, published in1733 (six years after his death and the year after George Washington's birth), has recently beenreprinted. His work, Observations on the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. To him, it was aproof of the foreknowledge of God, which was his purpose in writing the book. He had a wealth of knowledge of ancient history,obtained by reading mountains of documents in the original Greek, Latin and Hebrew, in which hesaw many of those prophecies literally fulfilled long after they had been revealed. Besides his immense intellect, he provides a hugecontribution which few can supply even today. His insights vary in several respects from the"standard" modern Christian interpretations, and his perspicacity might well be vindicated as therest of these prophecies are yet fulfilled. Sir Isaac Newton.Newton wrote an entire book interpreting the prophecies of the Biblical books of Daniel and theRevelation of John (also called "The Apocalypse").
He would have been appalled toknow that centuries later, atheists would be claiming that he had really discovered self-existentlaws, which explain the universe so well that God is no longer needed in the equation. To him, all of the great laws of physics whichhe discovered, were the laws of God that testify of his design. Sir Isaac Newton, upon whose work nearly all of classical physics is built, was a deeply religiousChristian, who saw the hand of God in all things. Sir Isaac Newton, the author of classical physics and a devout Christian,interpreted the Book of Daniel, providing insights which are still profound today.
