1. Orjan Svensson: The Iron Age in Sweden.
Shalom, There was recently an interesting film on the Iron Age in the island of Oland on Swedish Television.
You can see on http://svtplay.se/v/2639217/dokumentarfilm/den_svenska_jarnaldern.
TThey mentioned that the ancient forts of Oland are similar to Roman camps of Pannonia, and should have been copied from them, and that the Romans faught Goths in Pannonia and warded them off with coins. In Oland a lot of Roman coins have been found. Regards, Orjan

3. S. SNOBELEN: ``THE MYSTERY OF THIS RESTITUTION OF ALL
THINGS'':
ISAAC NEWTON ON THE RETURN OF THE JEWS.
http://www.isaac-newton.org/pdf/Snobelen%20Newton%20Jewish%20restoration%202001.pdf
Extracts:
John Maynard Keynes famously characterized Newton as a ``Judaic monotheist of the school of Maimonides.''
Newton also believed that the Turkish Empire would remain until the end of the Jewish captivity,100 suggesting therefore that one could look for evidence of the demise of the former as a sign of the latter.101
``The Mystery of this Restitution of All Things'' The Jewish Temple was also to be rebuilt, and the Jewish people were to become mortal inhabitants of the Kingdom of God on earth. Following the Hebrew Prophets, Newton also believed that the rebuilt Jerusalem would be the center of world rule during the Millennium.111
Newton believed that the period of the Jewish captivity would be of a very lengthy duration. More than once, he speaks of the ``long captivity'' of the Jews.113 In one place he is more exact, and writes that the period of the Jewish captivity was to last ``almost 2000 years.''
