On 22 February 2003, the Daily Telegraph (London, England) published a front-page story announcing Isaac Newton's prediction that the world would end in 2060. The story was based on interviews with myself and Malcolm Neaum, the producer of the BBC 2 documentary Newton: the dark heretic (first shown on 1 March 2003). I was asked to make myself available to the media because some of my academic research on Newton's prophecy and heretical theology was used in the documentary and since I was not only interviewed for the documentary both in Jerusalem and Cambridge, but am also shown with the manuscript containing the 2060 date in Jerusalem. Although the 2060 date was not news to the small community of scholars who study Newton's theology, this was the first time the wider public became aware of Newton's prophetic views. Over the next few days, the news spread around the globe and was covered in newspapers (making the front pages in Israel and Canada on 23 and 24 February respectively), on the radio, on TV and on a plethora of internet news sites. The story was covered on the Internet in all the major European languages from English, French and Spanish to Hungarian, Romanian and Russian. Websites in South America, South Africa, Australia, China, Vietnam and India also covered the story. Many of these websites picked up the story second and third hand, and several of them treated the story as a bit of a lark, with one site including a picture of a mushroom cloud (an image more readily associated with Einstein) with the caption "Party like it's 2060". For almost a week, I received a barrage of requests for interviews from the media. CBC Radio and TV, Global TV in the Maritimes, Agent France Presse, the largest radio talk show in Chicago and even the Russian section of Radio Free Europe, which aired the interview in Russian translation. I tried to use this unexpected opportunity to fill in more details about Newton's theological and prophetic thought, and to point out that Newton's apocalyptic thought was not just doom and destruction. Although there was a sensational element in the way the news was covered by many media organizations, the story has performed a very important role in alerting the public to the fact that Isaac Newton was not merely a "scientist", but also a theologian and a prophetic exegete (not to mention an alchemist). The public was therefore challenged to re-conceptualize Newton in all his complexity. The BBC 2 documentary, with its visual impact and much greater detail, challenged its viewers in an even more profound way.

so... yes in many cases.. yes! but HEY! I'm only a very fasinated 13 year old child I mean you don't have to believe me but What is right!!! IS TO REPENT and get right with god! because "he comes soon!" sooner then you think but defenitly not 2012!!!!!!!!

When and how did Sir Isaac Newton predict the world would come to an end?

In some accounts, that date is correct, and for others Isaac Newton predicted the date of A.D. 2060. Newton, however, should not be considered a conventional "christian" of his day, for he spent considerable time in occult studies and eschatology, disagreeing with key tenets of Christianity, such as Trinitarianism, Christ as God in the flesh, nor a belief in devils or demons, or the existence of an immortal soul. Interesting has his prophecies may be, they cannot be relied upon as sourcing for orthodox Christian prophetic interpretations.

After being kept a secret or lost for more than 200 years, the transcripts of Isaac Newton were found in an auction house.

Accordingly, signs leading to this "day" have already began.
