Abstract
The opening page of Babson MS 0434 is the only section that directly addresses the title of the manuscript, Introduction to the Lexicon of the Prophets, Part Two: About the Appearance of the Jewish Temple. Here, Newton claimed that the Hebrew texts, the legal constitutions and the Apocalypse are full of figures or symbols that cannot be understood separately, but only in conjunction with each other. He claimed “Consider the world-universe of the Israelites and the meaning of its parts and the significant of its ceremonies, which need to be explained”. The enacting of these ceremonies has a threefold form: the Tabernacle; the first Temple of Solomon and the Second Temple, until its destruction by the Romans in AD 70. These three sanctuaries designated different periods of religious history of prophesy.
