About This Book

A learned exegesis of biblical prophetic literature that systematically analyzes visions and symbolic language — including metallic images, composite beasts, horns, the ram and he-goat, and the seventy weeks — to propose historical chronologies and identify successive powers and epochs. The author treats prophecy as coded history, examines chronological markers tied to the birth and passion of Christ, and explores how the final visions relate to Mosaic law and temple worship. The study combines philological attention to prophetic diction with efforts to align imagery to concrete historical sequences and religious practice.

About the Author

Newton, Isaac portrait

Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton (1643-1727) was an English mathematician, physicist, and astronomer, widely recognized as one of the most influential scientists of all time. His work laid the foundations for classical mechanics and gravitation, most notably through his seminal work, "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica," where he formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation. In addition to his contributions to physics, Newton made significant advancements in optics, as demonstrated in his book "Opticks," where he explored the nature of light and color. His intellectual legacy continues to shape modern science and mathematics.
