William Miller was a student of Isaac Newton and his Daniel Apocalypse prophecies. Miller was so obsessed with Newton he named his son Isaac Newton Miller. Miller had been a Freemason, so it would seem obvious that Miller likely learned about Newton via Noahide Freemasonry. So if Miller knew of Isaac Newton's Daniel Apocalypse, did he know about Newton's Noahide pyramidology and those apocalyptic prophecies? I've seen it stressed that Pyramidology was picked up by the Adventists most when John Taylor wrote his book on Pyramidology in 1859. Did they do this because they were already familiar with pyramidology through Miller? The Adventist pyramidologists George Storrs and George Stetson had a great impact on Charles Russell's pyramidology.

Sir Isaac Newton is most famous for his great contributions to physics and mathematics. He invented calculus, explained the universal law of gravity, and described the laws of motion. Few people know that Newton was also an alchemist, theologian, and scholar of biblical prophecy. He dedicated much of his time to the study of biblical chronology, especially about the books of Daniel and Revelation and the second coming of Jesus Christ. Newton was deeply religious. Here are a few quotes that reflect his theological perspective:
“The supreme God exists necessarily, and by the same necessity He exists always and everywhere.” (Newton 1687, Principia; see also Caputo 2000, 88).
“Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.” (Newton, as cited in Tiner 1975).
“I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by men who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.” (Newton, as cited in Tiner 1975).
“I find more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history whatsoever.” (Newton, as cited in Morris 1982, 26). (Daniel, 2010)
On prophecy, Newton wrote the book, Observations Upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St John. This is another treasure in the James White Library. In this book, Newton discusses in detail interpretations of Daniel’s visions which are mirrored in Adventist pioneer William Miller’s teachings. Miller admired Newton’s work so much that he had a copy of the book in his library, and even named one of his sons Isaac Newton Miller.
In his research for the volumes, The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, Leroy Froom discovered the central historical importance of Newton’s work on Biblical prophecy. Newton’s influence on later scholars, such as William Miller, is undeniable, particularly with respect to the historicist interpretation of Daniel. For this reason, Froom commissioned artwork, called The March of the Reformers, which he included as the frontispiece to The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers. This frontispiece shows Isaac Newton in the central position, passing the torch of truth on to future generations. The original artwork hung on the walls of the General Conference headquarters in Takoma Park, MD, until the General Conference moved into their present location in Silver Spring, MD.
The Newton Project, a nonprofit organization, is dedicated to publishing an online edition of Newton’s works, scientific and theological. The Newton Project has published over 6.3 million words of text since 2001 (Newton, 2014).
Dr. Burdick has had an interest in the intersection of faith and science his entire life. He says, “However, the event that made me interested in the Newton manuscript was when I was at a Faith & Science conference in Italy in 2009, and I sat at the stone table in the historic Waldensian Seminary and listened to Abraham Terian (former professor of Old Testament at Andrews University) talk about the manuscript, and how he helped Leroy Froom move it from Washington DC to Andrews University. From Terian, I learned that Froom had purchased the manuscript for $10,000. Ever since I learned about the manuscript, I have desired to hold a science colloquium so that our science students could see the historical document.”
