Predictions of the End of the World

[Lou Newton Bond Servant of Jesus Find all posts View Profile Close Lou Newton]

I can not testify as the the absolute accuracy of this chart. But it should be fairly accurate.

I can say that the two listing of the claim that Isaac Newton predicted the end are NOT true, but are misunderstood.

Isaac was NOT trying to predict the end , but instead trying to show that the predictions of the end in his time were false.

If one reads his total writing on this subject, they will see he says that he is tired of people predicting the end, and no one knows the day or the hour. BUT he goes on to show that it can not take place before the dates he gives. He is not trying to predict the end, but only showing that the men that are predicting the end in his time are wrong.

Those that seek the future are into witchcraft. We are not to seek the future, but we are to seek Christ.

People who followed Harold Camping should have known better, he had already predicted the end four times before and was wrong. So his total, he was wrong six times.

NOTICE all of the references to comets as a sign of the end. We had a man recently imply that the comet Elenin was going to cause much destruction on the earth and he caused much fear. I wrote that this was nothing but a little dirty snowball that would do close to nothing. I wrote that every 747 that flies over the earth has more effect on the earth than this little comet had. I was banned from his site for writing this and he even banned my young son who had never even wrote one post, but read the site often and was very hurt by being banned when he had done nothing. When the man's predictions were wrong and what I wrote turned out to be correct he never apologized to his readers or me. Looking back, I can not think of even one prediction that the man made that took place.

I have learned that false prophets are plenty, but true prophets are few. There were 200 false prophets in Jerusalem in Jeremiah's days. But only one true prophet that God had sent.
