To awaken interest and kindle enthusiasm is the sure way to teach easily and successfully! Tyron Edwards (1809-1894) Tyron was a American Theologian and the great grandson of Jonathan Edwards. Comment: We can always blame our teacher for poor performance but going through elementary and high school I was bored to death! I dreamed in the classroom what I was going to do when school got out! My dog Jigs would be awaiting for me at the end of the lane when I got off the bus along with my pet duck! When I got off the bus Jigs would wag his tail enthusiastically and quaky would shake his tail too! So excited to see me! My rifle was waiting in my room to take Jigs rabbit hunting! How I acquired my pet duck was an unusual story! I shot him out of the sky! He had a broken wing so I feed him every morning before school and every evening after school. I took him to the cattle watering tank everyday for a bath! He loved water! I could not wait for summer vacation! Fishing trips with Jigs and quaky! I remember the red marks all over my school test papers and it reminded me that Christmas was coming! When I was a senior in high school I had an English teacher Mr. Wilson who awoke my interest and kindled my enthusiasm for studies! Then everything changed! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse.

Who Predicted End of World in 2060 A.D.?
Isaac Newton predicted this date in 1704 A.D. You can be sure he was not trying to sell a book! Newton was one of the most influential scientists that ever lived! He was also an ardent Christian and had a tremendous interest in end-time theology! He spent years in researching the Bible on the 2nd coming of Christ. Newton wrote over one million words related to his Bible studies! Newton based his prediction on Daniel 12:7. It was the phrase, “Times, times and a half times”, that caught his attention! He interpreted it to mean 3 1/2 years or 1260 days (also referred in Daniel 7:25, Revelation 11:3, 12:6, and 13:5. However Newton made a slight adjustment! He interpreted days to mean years -1260- years which marked the countdown to the end of the world and the return of Christ. What was his start date? Newton used the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire in 800 A.D. by Charlemagne. So the date was figured by adding 1260 to 800 to arrive at 2060 A.D. In Matthew 24:36, Jesus said we would not know the exact day or hour of His return! However, He said there would be important signs! Newton realized then that the restoration of Israel was a significant sign post to the end of the world! Theologians in Newton’s day thought Israel would be established as a nation in the 17th or 18th century. Newton predicted through his Bible studies that it would be much later! Israel became a nation on May 14, 1948. My suggestion is if you want to predict a date for Jesus return then live today like He is returning today! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
