"According to John Maynard Keynes, Newton was absolutely obsessed with the study of the Bible. … To Keynes's amazement, most of the million words recorded by Newton, in his own handwriting, were not about mathematics or astronomy, but they were about esoteric theology and the Bible. Newton believed that the Bible held a hidden code and he wanted to "read the riddle of the Godhead, the riddle of the past and future events divinely fore-ordained."

Newton arrived at his conclusions purely from the prophecies written in the Bible, and He taught himself Hebrew, so as to translate directly from the ancient text. If it is within the capacity of mankind to actually discover the timing of the Lord’s second coming, Isaac Newton’s intellect and diligence would certainly offer mankinds’ best effort. Newton found in Daniel 9:25 the key for determining when Jesus would return to rule the earth..

Dan 9:25 Know also and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to cause to return and to build Jerusalem, unto the Anointed the Prince, shall be seven weeks…

Newton says about this portion of Scripture, “this being dated to his coming to be Prince or King, seems to relate to his second coming. … For Daniel's Prophecies reach to the end of the world;” Newton elaborated by saying, at some point in the future Israel would be reborn as a nation, and there would be a specific date when Israel would begin to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. From that date when Israel starts to restore Jerusalem, there would be exactly one Jubilee, 49 years, until Messiah the Prince returns at the end of tribulation. His interpretation revealed that at the end of these 49 years Jesus Christ would destroy the Antichrist and establish an everlasting kingdom.

Three hundred years ago if someone had suggested the jewish people would ever become a nation again with Jerusalem as the capital, they would have been considered more than a little loony, but this is exactly what Isaac Newton said would happen. Now it is obvious that this is precisely what occurred on June 5th 1967; indicating the 49 years before Jesus would return expires on June 5th 2016. The year 2016 follows the Sabbatical year 2015 which is necessary before the year of Jubilee. This is also true of 1967 which follows the Sabbatical year 1966. Newton predicted this saying the 49 years would fall in line with the Jewish Sabbatical cycle, and that the starting year 1967 would qualify as a Jubilee by virtue of the momentous events occurring at Jerusalem. This is evident in the quote below:

“This part of the Prophecy being therefore not yet fulfilled, I shall not attempt a particular interpretation of it, but content myself with observing, that as the seventy and the sixty two weeks were Jewish weeks, ending with sabbatical years; so the seven weeks are the compass of a Jubilee, and begin and end with actions proper for a Jubilee, and of the highest nature for which a Jubilee can be kept: and that since the commandment to return and to build Jerusalem, precedes the Messiah the Prince 49 years;” Isaac Newton"

"All things considered, the proximity of these eclipses to the date given in Daniel 9 and confirmed by Isaac Newton, gives us ample cause to focus on the timeline starting on June 5th, 1967 and ending on June 5th, 2016. This leads me to be more confident in Isaac Newton’s interpretation of Daniel 9 pinpointing 2016 as the absolute end of tribulation, and the start of God’s kingdom on earth. This is the most convincing prophetic timeline I have seen thus far when compared to the hundreds of subjective and even crack-pot timelines found floating around these days … ybic … Oliver"
