Abstract

Eschatological works of Isaac Newton are analyzed. Set out the foundations of his exegetical method. Based on his apocalyptic calculations suggested that Newton dated the beginning of the main events of the end of the history of the XX century., 2016 or 2060, however, Newton did not perceive the beginning of the apocalyptic prophecies in a negative way as something terrible; he believed that 2060 will be the year of “new beginning”.
