Isaac Newton's 1704 Letter Predicts World 'Reset' in 2060

The famed physicist and theologian used biblical calculations to forecast a transformative new era, not an absolute end to the world.

Isaac Newton wrote in 1704 that the world would undergo a significant 'reset' in 2060, based on his interpretation of biblical texts.
Newton's calculations centered on dates from the Book of Daniel, including 1260 years after the founding of the Holy Roman Empire in 800 AD.
He described the event as the end of an old age and the start of a new era, aligning with Christian and Jewish beliefs about a Messianic age or Kingdom of God.
Newton was cautious about making definitive predictions, warning against speculative date-setting that could discredit biblical prophecy.
The letter, now displayed at Jerusalem's Hebrew University, highlights Newton's blend of scientific inquiry and theological study.
