 What date did Newton arrive at for Armageddon? Newton’s year 2060 A.D. is
the culmination of 1260 years of ongoing apostasy. This
would have placed thebeginning of the countdown in 800 A.D.
Newton’s major focus was Christian apostasy
– and the apostasy of the Roman Catholic Church! Apparently Newton hims elf
 used the date 800 A.D. for the great apostasy – the date when Charlemagne
 was crowned king of the Holy Roman Empire by
the Pope. 800 + 1260 years would take us to the date of 2060 A.D.
However, was this conclusion accurate? Let’s examine this matter carefully. The
year 2060 seems too far off. Could Newton ha ve made a mistake? Did he begin his
countdown of apostasy in the wrong year? Let’s look at the evidence!

The Bible – a Coded Book

Scholars and Bible students know that thetwo most mysterious books of the Bible
are the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation. In these books, even on the surface
level, are predictions of unimaginable horror and apocalypse for the “end of days.”
These predictions, however, were “sealed up” and not revealed to
their writers.
Daniel was told, concerning his prophecies, “And there shall be a time of trouble,
such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time” (Dan.12:1). The angel
then told him, “But you, Daniel, SHUT UP the words, and SEAL THE BOOK,
until thetime of the end; many shall run to and fro [at that
time], and KNOWLEDGE shall be increased” (Dan.12:4).
Later on, Daniel was again told, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are
CLOSED and SEALED till the time of the END.
Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wicked
ly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall underst
and” (verses 9-10, NKJV). The prophecies of the enigma
tic book of Revelation were similarly sealed. John the apostle was shown in a vi
sion a “scroll written inside and on the back, SEALED with
seven seals” (Rev.5:1). Only the Lamb of God was worthy to open the seals of the book.
The seven seals and their prophecies are then set forth in the remaining chapters of the
book. But to simply read about them is not to understand them and their meaning. Many
symbols and mysterious images and “time periods” are mentioned. Most people come
away uttered confused and confounded. Yet it is a book of Revelation – and in the time
of the end is meant to be understood!
