Matthew 26:64 is NOT a "Preterist Time Indicator" Pointing to AD70 "In short, the usage of "Apo Arti" in Matthew 26:64 [Apo ("from" - Strongs 575) and Arti ("now on" - Strong's 737)] is highly suggestive of the themes that have been previously offered at this blog ; that is, a series of revelatory recognitions of the power and glory of Jesus Christ's dominance by friend and foe alike. Though the typically pret-friendly Weymouth translation would like to make Jesus say "later on, you will see.." this is not really honest. I would rather say that it was simply a mistake, but I find it impossible to believe that neither Richard Francis Weymouth ("If this belief ever obtains general acceptance the earlier date of the Apocalypse will also be regarded as fully established. For it will then be seen that the book describes beforehand events which took place in 70 A.D.") nor Earnest Hampden-Cook (co-editor and author of "The Christ Has Come") were aware of how important (ironically) a futurist spin on this passage is to uphold their Preterist assumptions. However, not only is there no sense of futurity in this very emphatic Greek phrase, but rather we see quite the opposite.

"(The Olivet Prophecy is) the foundation of the Christian Religion" (On
Hermeneutical Principles) (On the
Symbolism of Apocalyptic ;
The New Heavens and Earth) (On
Daniel 9:27) "Thus have we in this short Prophecy, a prediction of all the main periods relating to the coming of the Messiah; the time of his birth, that of his death, that of the rejection of the Jews, the duration of the Jewish war whereby he caused the city and sanctuary to be destroyed, and the time of his second coming: and so the interpretation here given is more full and complete and adequate to the design, than if we should restrain it to his first coming only, as Interpreters usually do. We avoid also the doing violence to the language of Daniel, by taking the 7 weeks and 62 weeks for one number. Had that been Daniel's meaning, he would have said sixty and nine weeks, and not seven weeks and sixty two weeks, a way of numbering used by no nation." "Personally, I cannot but believe these words concerning the end of the times. One sign of the end will be a remarkable increase in methods of getting about. Men will travel from country to country in an unprecedented manner. There may be some inventions which will enable people to travel much more quickly than they do now." WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID

CommentsI recommend the reader to read also the interesting book on Newton scientific approach to bible: The Religion of Isaac Newton, by Frank Manuel, OUP, 1972; Frimantle Lectures at Oxford, 1971. H de Morais Ribeiro PhD Philosophy student University of Sheffield.
Commentshe was a great man
Commentshe is reatarted
CommentsIt appears to me that Newton was reluctant to assign deity to Christ. While he refers to Christ in many of the prophetic and New Testament decriptions, such as Lamb of God, Son of God etc., he falls short of seeing Christ as the eternal God. Paul tells us in Colossians that "..in Christ dwells the fulness of the Godhead bodily." And Jesus himself told Peter "..he who has seen me has seen the Father." Newton apparently could conceive ,(though the scriptures are clear), in one God existing as three persons. Newton refuses to accept the eternal, immutable attributes of the Father as being applicable to the Son and the Holy Spirit. He disagreed with Athanasius the Christ is of the same substance as the Father. He never makes mention of being Born Again!
CommentsYes notice he does not say Christ is the Son of God, but "And Christ, being endued with a nobler prophet spirit than the rest, excelled also in this kind of speaking...."
CommentsHE WAS A CHISTIAN!!!!!!!!!!???????
Commentsi love the way speak but i need your fineing the frist law that you have wrote reach me any time bye
Commentswho was Newton's wife
CommentsEXACTLY WHAT DID HE DO?????????????????//
CommentsI think that Isaac had the wrong idea about God and that made his principles a little off -K
CommentsSorry, but Newton really needed to get over it.
CommentsOk, obviously Newton has no wife, he was too ugly. AND he apparently had no social life. SO, he devoted his whole life to boring stuff. Did he even win the nobel peace prize?
Commentswhat are you people talking about?
CommentsHe was a very clever man. I'm very much interested in how he has found scriptures in daniel and revelation relate to the greek and roman empires, and also the rise of the catholic church, and other important events. What i'm most interested in is if he has written about any events that have happened in the future from his time, and the 20th and 21st century. In particular, perhaps the world wars and israel. If i could find any matches for what has ACTUALLY happened and what he has predicted, then i'd trust what he says more.
CommentsDo u think an apple fell on his heador not. I do!!!
CommentsI think that he was a great guy who wasn't ugly and probably didn't get married because he was to zoned in his work!!
Commentswhat was the main thing that sir isaac newton invented! i need 2 know it is very important and ergent!
Comments
Commentsdid he ever have sex/
Commentsi think that thisis retarded
CommentsIsaac Newton is one of the most attractive people you'll ever see in your history book. And he was brilliant. Thouroughly, intrinsically, mind-numbingly brilliant. THINK about all he discovered at a time when physics was such a newborn science. In conclusion, he's da man.
Commentshe was an anngle in my eye's
Commentswhat did he INVEN'T
CommentsTo the person who keeps asking, "What did he INVENT", please look up the name Isaac Newton in an encyclopedia. Newton isn't known as an inventor (in the sense that YOU, I suspect mean it), but as, among other things, the discoverer of the laws of gravity. He also "invented" mathematical stuff such as Integration, Differentiation (which is over most people's heads, but vital to phsyics and science). He was a brilliant man who generally kept his Christian beliefs (and massive amount of writings!) quiet because of the age he lived in.
CommentsHe was a bad man cause he had kids and never married!
Comments
CommentsI believe he was a brilliant man and I'm proud of him. All those who insult him are probably athiests. He is the father of modern science and should be respected for his achievements.

Commentsdid sir isaac newton every have a wife or a partner

CommentsNewton was a Good mathematician even though he was not that smart in school
Commentsisaac's a good guy in my opinion. nothing to say about his looks, but im glad he founded calculus, or id have nothing to study at school right now. im thinking nobody ever looks at this site nowadays, but i found it while looking up info on him lol. l8er everybody.
Commentsyou should have pictures on what he discovered
Commentsyou should have pictures on what he discovered
CommentsSir Isaac Newton did invent something! The telescope!Newton's initial lectures as Lucasian Professor dealt with optics, including his remarkable discoveries made during the plague years. He had reached the revolutionary conclusion that white light is not a simple, homogeneous entity, as natural philosophers since Aristotle had believed. When he passed a thin beam of sunlight through a glass prism, he noted the oblong spectrum of colors--red, yellow, green, blue, violet--that formed on the wall opposite. Newton showed that the spectrum was too long to be explained by the accepted theory of the bending (or refraction) of light by dense media. The old theory said that all rays of white light striking the prism at the same angle would be equally refracted. Newton argued that white light is really a mixture of many different types of rays, that the different types of rays are refracted at slightly different angles, and that each different type of ray is responsible for producing a given spectral color. A so-called crucial experiment confirmed the theory. Newton selected out of the spectrum a narrow band of light of one color. He sent it through a second prism and observed that no further elongation occurred. All the selected rays of one color were refracted at the same angle. These discoveries led Newton to the logical, but erroneous, conclusion that telescopes using refracting lenses could never overcome the distortions of chromatic dispersion. He therefore proposed and constructed a reflecting telescope, the first of its kind, and the prototype of the largest modern optical telescopes. In 1671 he donated an improved version to the Royal Society of London, the foremost scientific society of the day. As a consequence, he was elected a fellow of the society in 1672. Later that year Newton published his first scientific paper in the Philosophical Transactions of the society. It dealt with the new theory of light and color and is one of the earliest examples of the short research paper.
CommentsHis invention of the Reflecting Telescope was the greatest
CommentsWHO WAS HIS WIFE
Commentsweres the iventions
CommentsDoes anyone know the names of Isaac's half brother and 2 half sisters? Thanks
CommentsThe man was a genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CommentsI know that sir Isaac Newton invented things but I don't know what he invented could you please tell me what he invented? I think this web site is very usfull for people who are studying Sir Isaac Newton.
CommentsIsaac Newton was a Unitarian, this proves that he was truely one of those called by God the father to follow Christ his son. This is because he understood that Christ was the son of God, this is something that only God the father reveals to people who are to follow Christ. Isaac understood that Catholic and Protestant leaders were liars and taught that there was 3 co-eternal God's who made up a tri-unity, refered to as the trinity. This erronous doctrine ws created at the council of Constantinople in the year 381AD. When Protestantism began it was due to people like Issac Newton, who understood Greek and could read early Greek bibles and see the difference between corrupt copies of the bible like the original king James Version which contains forgeries and insertions to try to support the trinitarian postion of these false teachers. The catholics sent the Jesuit Martin Luther who stoped the reformation by taking over as the leader of it, Luther cunningly allowed for a reform but only back as far a Constantinople. The result of this clever plot to stop Protestantism understanding the truth, was that Luther insured that pagan Sunday worship, pagan Easter and pagan Xmas and the pagan trinity was kept as a doctrine of the masses. The councils of: Nicea (325AD) Laodicea ( 366AD) Constantinople (381AD) and Chalcedon (451AD) changed the truth of the bible from the worship of one true God, and the keeping of his laws, holydays and 7th day sabbaths, to that of pagan worship of the tri-union of the mystery god who is worshipped on the 1st day of the week, (the complete opposite of God law the father of Joshua (Jesus) and the father of all the other Elohim (sons of God) and all mankind. The trinity doctrine is completely insane and to try to make you not care to examine it they say ah! its a mystery! The truth is that they cannot explain it because it is unexplainable, its a lie. God is the father, the son is a subordinate god, of which there are many. For obedience to the father the son was appointed eternal life by the father who alone is immortal (1Timothy 6:16). The angels are not immortal, nor does man have an immortal soul. God the father alone has immortality and appoints it to those who obey him by keeping and delighting in his laws. The trintity doctrine makes Christ into a mad man who sent part of himself to earth to be a sacrifice to himself. He was not really on earth because part of himself was up in heaven taking down to his other part on earth. The part of himself that was down on earth prayed to himself that was in heaven and asked himself questions, he pleaded with himself to remove the part where he dies on the cross, the says ok if its your will I will go there and died so be it. This mockery of the truth by these teachings insert the obvious conclusion that Christ never really died. How could he if part of himself was up in heaven. Death means the absense of life, there is no thoughts or memory in the grave YOUR DEAD. but they teach he raised himself from the dead. John Nicholl WWW.CCG.ORG

CommentsWell he did make the modern telescope during the 17th century, but I don't know how to make it, because I'm only in sixth grade.
