The famous mathematician Sir Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727) also had a keen interest in the Bible. He understood that the holy ones will be raised to heavenly life and will rule invisibly with Christ.
وَمِنْ خِلَالِ دَرْسِهِ لِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ ،‏ أَدْرَكَ أَنَّ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ سَيُقَامُونَ إِلَى ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلسَّمَاوِيَّةِ وَيَحْكُمُونَ مَعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ .‏
