Excerpts from Biblical Novel Newton's
Riddle By: Neil Russell
 |
| Sir Isaac Newton |
In
Genesis 12:3, God says, “I will bless those who bless and curse those who curse
the Jews, Abraham’s descendants.” Newton’s Riddle by Neil Russell is a
gripping supernatural thriller based upon this everlasting promise of God.
Before his death in 1727, Sir Isaac Newton, the famous physicist, concealed a
prophetic script in one of his journals.
This mysteriously coded script detailed crucial future events involving Israel
and the return of Jesus. Incorporating Sir Isaac Newton’s extensive research,
Bible prophecy, and the bond that exists between America and Israel during the
final days of planet earth, Newton’s Riddle is a captivating, suspenseful tale
ripped from tomorrow’s headlines.
For starters, in this prophetic novel, the President of the United States is a
woman, and the theme is a two-state solution to bring peace to the Middle East!
Dr. Ezra Schroeder, one of the main characters, is a National Security
Administration codebreaker. During a trip to England to visit an old friend,
Dr. Schroeder happens upon the cryptic contents of Newton’s final work. With
each passing day, as the political clouds around the United States and Israel
grow increasingly ominous, Ezra knows what he must do. With this vital
knowledge in hand, he must become a modern-day Moses and implore the reluctant
President of the United States to come to the aid of the Jewish state of
Israel—which is on the brink of total annihilation.
In the following excerpts, Dr. Schroeder explains Sir Isaac Newton’s view of
end-time prophecy, including his estimate of when the Messiah would return!
(Newton’s research convinced him that the Messiah would return before 2060.
Based on his study of Newton’s findings, author Neil Russell comes up with a
date of 2016. Remember this is a fictional book—no one knows the day or hour of
Messiah’s return. But we can know the season!
“Sir Isaac Newton was one of the foremost scientific intellects of all time.
But most people do not know that he was also a formidable biblical scholar.
Surprisingly, only 12% of Newton’s vast library contained books on the subjects
of mathematics, physics and astronomy, the disciplines on which his scientific
fame rests. This may shock some people, but the vast majority of the books in
Newton’s library were on the subject of theology. He believed that the Bible is
literally true in every respect. Throughout his life, he continually tested
biblical truth against the physical truths of experimental and theoretical
science. He never observed a contradiction. In fact, he viewed his own
scientific work as a method by which to reinforce belief in biblical truth.
“Newton looked at the entire universe and all that is in it as a cryptogram set
by the Almighty. A riddle that could be read simply by applying pure thought to
certain evidence and clues that God had hidden throughout the universe. Newton
sincerely believed that all would be revealed to him if only he could persevere
to the end, uninterrupted, voyaging through God’s ocean of thought alone.
“Newton had one final obsession—solving Bible prophecy. Newton assumed that by
the same powers of his introspective imagination, he could solve the riddles of
past and future events that he believed God encoded in the Bible, specifically
in the books of Daniel and Revelation. To Newton’s mind, it was clear that some
prophecies would not be understood until the end of history.…
“The greatest physicist who ever lived, who worked out the mechanics of the
solar system and the universe, spent the greater part of his lifetime
attempting to treat the Bible as a source of scientific data. He truly believed
that before he died, God would reveal to him the secrets of prophecy that were
locked inside the Bible.”
Our
Blessed Hope
Newton’s
revelations were recorded—in code—in a black book called Our Blessed Hope. In
this excerpt, we read an amazing email from Dr. Schroeder to Harry Andrews, a
professor friend in England:
I am attaching the entire text of
Newton’s journal with this email. As you might recall, before I left England I
had just finished deciphering the original text from its coded form into
Hebrew. The attachment I am now sending contains the original text, its Hebrew
translation, and most importantly, the translation back into English. Once you
have thoroughly examined the pages of this document, I believe you and the
entire Cambridge staff will come to the same conclusion as I did: that what we
have in our possession could possibly be one of the greatest finds in the
history of mankind!
I am now going to give you my interpretation of what I believe to be Newton’s
final message. Once I was able to decipher the entire original text into
Hebrew, I saw before me what appeared to be a tangled web of prophetic
Scripture verses starting first with the book of Daniel. I then discovered that
putting verses from the books of Daniel, Genesis, Psalms, Ezekiel, and
Zechariah together in Newton’s sequence produced a logical message….
Newton sincerely believed that God had rewarded his lifetime of unwavering
faithfulness by selecting him to be one of the chosen few mentioned in Daniel
Chapter 12 to receive God’s prophetic insight. Newton started his message by
quoting one of the most familiar verses found in Scriptures, Genesis Chapter 12
verse 3. It is here that God swore a solemn oath to bless any people or nation
who blesses Abraham’s chosen descendants, the Jewish people, and to curse any
people or nation who do harm or evil in any way to the Jewish people.
He then returns to the book of Daniel where things get really interesting.
Newton understood from reading Daniel that there would come a future time when
the Jews would
return from their worldwide dispersion to the land promised to them by the God
of Abraham. He also accepted the argument that each of the prophetic
weeks described in Daniel Chapter 9 was numerically equivalent to seven-year
periods. But Newton vehemently disagreed with the scholars when it came to the
interpretation of the two separate periods of weeks quoted in Daniel Chapter 9
verse 25, “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; Jerusalem will be built again, with a plaza and
moat, even in times of distress.”
The vast majority of biblical scholars interpret this verse by simply adding
the seven sevens and the sixty-two sevens to come up with 483 years, the timing
of Messiah’s first coming. Sir Isaac differed completely with this logic. He
concluded that the first seven weeks of years or the forty-nine years
prophesied by Daniel were entirely separate from the remaining sixty-two weeks
of years. Newton calculated that the prophetic time clock of Messiah’s second
coming would take place the moment Jerusalem was once again in the hands of the
Jews. Messiah’s return would take place forty-nine years after this future event.
Newton also stressed that none of these events could ever take place by the
hands of the Jews alone, but only through the assistance and protection of a
friendly nation.
Next in Newton’s timeline, the Archangel Michael arises to do battle against the
enemies of God’s chosen people. These enemies of Israel are all listed in both
Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38. Along with two evil northern empires named in Ezekiel
38 as Gog and Magog, the entire confederation conspires together to carry out
an evil plan to utterly destroy Israel and the Jewish people. At that time, the
Jewish nation will find herself totally alienated and hopeless. They will at
last cry out in dire desperation to their one and only true Messiah, Jesus, and
at last they will see their redemption.
Harry, I consider you to be one of my dearest and most cherished friends. You
and I both share a burning passion in quest for truth. You also know me to be a
man of sound mind. In closing, I would like to share with you my personal
thoughts concerning Newton’s message. It is my firm conviction that God truly
did reveal His end-times plan to Newton. I also believe that we are presently
living in those predicted times. According to Newton’s interpretation, the hands of God’s
prophetic clock started ticking the moment Israel’s army recaptured the city of
Jerusalem in June of 1967. If you add the forty-nine years predicted
in Daniel Chapter 9 verse 25 to that date, then Messiah’s possible return to
Earth will be on or before the year 2016.
I also believe that Newton’s friendly nation called to support and protect
Israel is none other than the United States and as long as this strategic
relationship lasts, Israel will remain safe. I find it extremely interesting
that Newton included direct quotes from Genesis 12 verse 3 twice in his
message, once at the very beginning and once at the end. “And I will bless
those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse.” This was
purposely inserted as a warning to any nation that they would suffer severe
consequences if they were to abandon Israel in her time of need or attack her
when she was vulnerable. In spite of this warning, the Scriptures make it
perfectly clear that on some future date, all nations, including the United
States, will desert Israel. When that day arrives, the devil himself will lead
the final charge to totally destroy what God has called the ‘apple of His eye.’
I will close now with what I call Newton’s ultimate riddle. I have to confess,
Newton ends his message with a line that even I have yet to solve: “Always
remember to never forsake the words of this prophecy, for concealed within
these very lines, the wise shall know the end of times.”
Later in the book, Dr. Schroeder does go on to solve Newton’s ultimate
riddle—which turns out to be a key to Israel’s survival and America’s future! Order this exciting book to read the rest of
the amazing story!
Dear Mishpochah,
When I was a young Jewish believer, I was invited to share my testimony on
Kathryn Kuhlman’s television show
(see picture at right). At that time, when I saw this “old” (much younger than
I am now) woman do four television shows in one day, I thought that was a great
miracle. Today at 67, I do eight to ten television shows in one day!
But perhaps the greatest sign of God’s favor has been His financial provision.
I do not raise money on television. Why? Because it is a huge turn off for
unsaved people. Many have come to believe this is the only reason for
television ministry.
There are those who tell me it is impossible for a mass media ministry designed
to reach the unsaved to exist with only seven appeal letters per year. But God
has been faithful to meet our needs with our simple, childlike strategy for
thirty-one years!
We finished 2007 debt-free thanks to
your generosity and obedience. This year I plan to add three new television
networks, create a new website for unsaved Jewish viewers, build a television
studio/office and advertise on billboards, buses and in newspapers to increase
our unsaved audience.
I thought you would like to see a recent picture of my family as well as a
picture from a TV interview I conducted in 1980, fifteen years before we
started It’s Supernatural!
As I flew into Brunswick last night,
I sat next to a Jewish woman from New York who was about 35 years old. She
attends a conservative synagogue. She was so “tolerant” she said every religion
was right. In fact, she celebrates Christian and Jewish holidays. My heart went
out to this woman who was so lost. She promised to watch my TV show! After this
encounter, I felt like Paul in Romans 9:3: “For I could wish that I myself were
accursed from [Messiah] for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh.”
This is God’s moment to reach the lost sheep of the House of Israel. Look at
the following email and believe God for hundreds of thousands like it:
“I just wanted you to know that I have been witnessing and praying for my
Jewish best friend for 7 years. It was not until I sent her Sid Roth’s book,
They Thought for Themselves, that she claimed her eyes were ‘opened’ and she
‘saw clearly’ who Messiah is. She gave her heart to Yeshua yesterday!” —C.S.
Your partnership with me to reach Israel makes God smile. Thank you.
