Many know Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727) as the English physicist and mathematician who formulated the laws of motion and gravity. Lesser known is the fact that Newton was a Christian who wrote a book about end times Bible prophecy, which you can read here:

In chapter 10 Newton wrote about the "seventy weeks" prophecy in Daniel 9. Here is the pertinent Scripture:
"Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place. So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress." - Daniel 9:24-25
Newton said that the 62 weeks
and 7 weeks should not be added together (as some interpreters do) because they are two distinct periods referring to the first and second
comings of the Messiah. "Weeks” are interpreted as seven-year sabbatical
cycles.
Newton foresaw a time in his future when the Jews would reoccupy and rebuild
Jerusalem and then Messiah would return 7 x 7 or 49 years later. The modern nation of Israel
reoccupied the temple mount in Jerusalem on June 7, 1967, after which Jews began moving and rebuilding there. Adding 49 Jewish prophetic years of 360 days calculates to September 23, 2015. Since Jesus hasn't returned yet, perhaps a subsequent date represents the actual decree to rebuilding Jerusalem. The Knesset (Israeli parliament) issued a decree to rebuild the Jewish quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem on April 1, 1969:
Adding 49 prophetic years to that date is July 18, 2017. Or there may be a prior decree or event I am not aware of. Whatever the case, we are in the season of Jesus' return according to Newton's interpretation of Daniel 9.
Recently I heard Gill Broussard's astonishing research on Planet X and Bible events and end times. [Note: The existence of Planet X is one of the many realities the power elite keeps from the masses. They also hide archaeological evidence of giants/Nephilim, their ongoing contact with aliens/fallen angels, as well as the variety of super advanced alien-inspired technologies they possess. If this all sounds crazy to you, I'm sorry but you are in for a huge shock in the near future.]
What can I say about all this? One morning in 2014, I began to awaken from sleep during the early hour of twilight. In my dream I saw an angel outlined in bright light, like glowing metal. He was blowing a trumpet. As I became fully awake, the image stayed in my mind. I turned and looked out the window to see a cloudy, stormy sky. The image of the angel in my mind overlaid on what I was seeing with my eyes. For a moment I saw an angel blowing a trumpet on the clouds of the sky. "Is this it?!" I wondered.
"And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other." - Matthew 24:30-31
When I bring this question to the Lord in prayer, I have a strong confirmation in my spirit that Jesus is coming soon. He is coming soon! I don't know the day or hour, but we are in the season of Messiah's return. Be ready and finish the race strong!
"Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door." - Matthew 24:32-33
