It’s not widely taught in physics, mathematics and engineering classrooms that the great giant in the development of classical physics, the calculus, optics and other disciplines in science, Sir Isaac Newton, wrote and studied more about the Bible than he did in the sciences. Newton's writings on theological and biblical subjects alone amount to about 1.3 million words, the equivalent of 20 of today's standard length books. Concerning Biblical prophecy, Newton made it clear that the study of scripture was not purposed for some self glorifying knowledge, stating: “God gave the prophecies, not to gratify men's curiosity by enabling them to foreknow things, but that after they were fulfilled they might be interpreted by the event, and His own providence, not the interpreters, be thereby manifested to the world.��?
