Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John
Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John was published in London in 1733, six years after Isaac Newton's death, and represents a side of his work that occupied him for decades. In the first part Newton studies the prophetic language of the Book of Daniel, interpreting its visions of beasts and kingdoms as a sequence of empires from Babylon to the divisions of Rome, and identifies the little horn with the power of the papacy. The second part applies the same method to the Book of Revelation. The book shows Newton's historical and chronological learning and his conviction that prophecy, rightly read, records history in advance.
