David Flynn the author of a new book “Temple at the Center of Time: Newton’s Bible Codex Deciphered and the Year 2012″ claims that Isaac Newton actually calculated the end of the world in 2013 instead of earlier reports which calculated the end in 2060.
The 58 year error according to Flynn was based on a discrepancy between when the Roman Empire was founded. Flynn puts the date at 753 A.D.
Flynn stated “there remains a valid aspect of Newton’s calculation. There is reason to believe he was correct in his assumption that there would be 1,260 years until the return of Christ at the rebirth of the Roman Empire, but that the year he chose was incorrect. There is actually a better date based on the founding of Rome and the methodology of Daniel’s prophecy.”
According to Flynn, in the 1660s when Newton believed that the end of days was imminent, there seemed no reason to work out the approximate year in which it would occur. With the Great Plague, the fire of London and the apocalyptic fervor of the times, it seemed obvious to Newton that the end time had already arrived.
