Newton's Riddle – The Mystery of Daniel’s 70th Week Revealed Sir Isaac Newton lived some 300 years ago (1642-1727), was one of the greatest geniuses in all history, with perhaps the highest I.Q of anyone in history, except Jesus, who was God in human form.  Newton is called "the father of modern science" and "the father of the industrial revolution." He discovered many scientific laws. 

God chose Isaac Newton to impart many of His deepest secrets and riddles.  There is strong evidence that God gave Newton the most mysterious secret and riddle of all - the timing and the events of the end of the age!  

Newton was a devout believer in Christ and Bible scholar, fluent in ancient languages, and who translated directly from the Hebrew and Greek.  He was unusually drawn to the prophet Daniel, which he began studying at age 12 and continued until he died at age 85. In fact, The Columbia History of the World, a secular history book, remarks, "At the end of his days he spent more time studying and writing about the prophecies in the Book of Daniel than he did in charting the heavens."  

Apparently, God Himself put in Newton's heart this burning desire to study Daniel, then gave him the key to the timing of Christ's return. 

Could this be the final profound secret the Lord revealed to this godly genius near the end of his life - a secret "accidentally" discovered in the Library of Congress and republished just in the last few years - a secret so simple that most have missed it? 

If Newton was correct in his interpretation of Daniel, the prophet to whom God gave specific timing, then the return of the Lord Jesus Christ will be very, very soon, indeed! 

Newton's understanding of one key passage in Daniel chapter 9 is fundamentally different from that of most common interpretations. In about 550 B.C., God gave the prophet Daniel a view of history to the end.  From Daniel 9:25, scholars usually add the "seven weeks (of years, or 49 years) and 62 weeks (434 years)" to get 483 years and calculate the time of Messiah's First Coming. However, Newton says there is no linguistic basis for adding those two numbers (49 and 434), and to do so is "doing violence to the language of Daniel." Newton says the two numbers separately speak of both the First and Second Coming, both being counted from the "going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem."

Newton said the "62 weeks," or 434-year part would be fulfilled at the First Coming, and the "seven weeks," or 49-year part will apply to the Second Coming. And three centuries ago he saw in the Scriptures and wrote about the rebirth of Israel at a time when such a thought was preposterous. 

Amazingly, by faith and understanding of the Scriptures, he foresaw a "friendly kingdom" someday again issuing the "commandment to restore and build Jerusalem." Now, centuries later, that "friendly kingdom" was the United Nations, which decreed Israel's rebirth in November, 1947, causing Israel to be reborn in May, 1948. 

Newton's calculations of adding 49 years to the June 1967 date says, "Messiah's possible return to earth will be on or before the year 2016." 

However, that is apparently based on using modern (365-day) years in the calculation.  If you use exactly 49 Jewish (360-day, prophetic) years from the day Israel captured the Temple Mount on June 7, 1967, you get 49 X 360 = 17640 days, which amazingly takes one exactly to September 23, 2015, the Day of Atonement 2015 and the last of the Blood Moon Tetrad and being a Super Blood Moon seen from Jerusalem. 

Newton apparently saw that as the Second Coming.  Instead, could it be the Rapture on or before? A respected contemporary scholar, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, author of the popular book, The Harbinger & The Mystery of the Shemitah is also looking to September 2015 for a major prophetic event, specifically, September 13, 2015, the end of the current Shemitah cycle.  
Pastor Mark Blitz who is credited as the first to discover the Blood Moon Tetrad also agrees with Cahn, and further states he believes the Bible teaches the Rapture must occur at the end of a Shemitah cycle, thus if not the current Shemitah cycle, September 13, 2015, it would be another 7-years to the end of the next Shemitah cycle.
