In a little-known manuscript written in 1704, Sir Isaac Newton made a bold prediction. Scribbled amongst mathematical formulas and other theological musings is the following text:
Newton, 1704
So then the time times & half a time are 42 months or 1260 days or three years & an half, recconing twelve months to a yeare & 30 days to a month as was done in the Calendar of the primitive year. And the days of short lived Beasts being put for the years of lived kingdoms, the period of 1260 days, if dated from the complete conquest of the three kings A.C. 800, will end A.C. 2060. It may end later, but I see no reason for its ending sooner.
It is unclear what Newton was trying to convey. But what is clear is that the year 2060 AD marked the end of an era, whether the end of times or a transition to a new period.
What exactly did Newton mean by this?

Most of us will be dead by then.
Ping.
I’m quite old, so I will be giving it a miss unless I break 100.
Thaaaaat’s Numberwang!
Well, I’ll be long dead and gone by 2060.
😆😊😄😁
Newton was a scientific genius. He also liked to dabble in prophecies and in hidden bible interpretations, with much less success.
Being an expert in one field doesn’t automatically make you an expert in others. Perhaps Newton should have stuck to physics, and left babbling about the future to Nostradamus.
that date 2060 roughly coincides with star trek future history. It shows that warp drive is discovered in 2062
I don’t accept the premise of the question.
Thank you!
For an exhaustive read regarding Calculated Dates from the Calculated Jewish Calendar vs. the Biblical Jewish Calendar and some potential dates, here’s a great read:

We’re not setting dates, but it’s a much discussed topic lately.
No body knows the day or the hour. Not Daniel, nor John or Paul, nor Sir Isaac Newton. Even Jesus said the Son does not know but only the Father but warned us to keep our lamps lit and ready.
Evidently drunk posting was a thing back then
The End of The World keeps disappointing me. Y2K, 2012, ozone holes, global warming ending all life in 2010, etc.
Quite a coincidence that!
I’ll be 95, but I’m not worried about it. My Karma is good, my religion is good, my God it good, and I’m good. I have all my ducks in order.
Newton suffered a lot of neurological damage from ingesting mercury.
I agree with him:
“It may end later, but I see no reason for its ending sooner.”

Nobody in their right mind does, but it’s a game that is played here daily.
