The Metaphysical World of Isaac Newton: Alchemy, Prophecy, and the Search for Lost Knowledge

by John Chambers

Newton’s heretical yet equation-incisive writings on theology, spirituality, alchemy, and prophecy, written in secret alongside his Principia Mathematica • Shows how Newton’s brilliance extended far beyond math and science into alchemy, spirituality, prophecy, and the search for lost continents such as Atlantis • Explains how he was seeking to rediscover the one true religion that existed prior to the Flood of Noah, when science and spirituality were one • Examines Newton’s alternate timeline of prehistory and his study of prophecy through the Book of Revelations, including his prediction of Apocalypse in the year 2060 Isaac Newton (1643-1727) is still regarded by the world as the greatest scientist who ever lived. He invented calculus, discovered the binomial theorem, explained the rainbow, built the first reflecting telescope, and explained the force of gravity. In his famous masterpiece, Principia Mathematica, he described the mechanics of the physical universe with unimagined precision, proving the cosmos was put together according to laws. The perfection of these laws implied a perfect legislator. To Newton, they were proof that God existed. At the same time Newton was writing Principia Mathematica, he was writing a twin volume that he might have called, had it been completed, Principia Theologia--Principles of Theology. This other masterpiece of Newton, kept secret because of the heresies it contained, consists of thousands of essays providing equation-incisive answers to the spiritual questions that have plagued mankind through the ages. Examining Newton’s secret writings, John Chambers shows how his brilliance extended into alchemy, spirituality, the search for lost continents such as Atlantis, and a quest to uncover the “corrupted texts” that were rife in the Bibles of his time. Although he was a devout Christian, Newton’s work on the Bible was focused not on restoring the original Jewish and Christian texts but on rediscovering the one true religion that existed prior to the Flood of Noah, when science and spirituality were one. The author shows that a single thread runs through Newton’s metaphysical He is attempting to chart the descent of man’s soul from perfection to the present day. The author also examines Newton’s alternate timeline of ancient history and his study of prophecy through the Book of Revelations, including his prediction of an Apocalypse in the year 2060 followed by a radically transformed world. He shows that Newton’s great hope was that these writings would provide a moral compass for humanity as it embarked upon the great enterprise that became our technological world.

Isaac Newton invented calculus, discovered the binomial theorem, explained the rainbow, created a reflecting telescope and explained gravity.

He was Master of the Royal Mint and oversaw the updating of the English coinage. He was an MP.

Most of these items should be known to most people.

What is less well-known is that he spent over half of his time as an alchemist and as a Biblical scholar. He kept these items quiet because Newton believed in the Arian heresy and that the worship of God had been diluted by the Roman Catholic Church when they accepted Trinitarianism as the basis of worship, in other words, God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost were all equal or consubstantial. Newton didn't believe this was correct and thought that man should worship God and no other, not even Jesus Christ.

This book covers Newton's investigations into the lost continents such as Atlantis and his determination to uncover corrupted texts that were rife in the Bible - these corruptions were made by influential fathers of the early church who intended to conflate Jesus with God to confirm their Trinitarian teachings.

Newton was a devout Christian who was focused not on restoring the original text written by the authors of the books of the Bible, but on rediscovering the one true religion from the time before the flood. Newton believed that what he'd discovered in terms of scientific breakthroughs had been known by people such as Moses and Pythagoras.

Newton also created an alternative timeline for ancient history and interpreted the meaning of the Book of Revelation.

It is thought provoking and enlightening especially with regards to old-time religion.
I am more curious about deist's version of God. I also like how Newton explains special providence- God sending comets to make adjustments to the current earth.
I was surprised to learn that Isaac Newton ingested Mercury daily while he practised alchemy and still remained healthy into his later days.

Isaac Newton was an amazing mind, a lot more than just a mathematician

It was very bad.
