Yes — according to Les Feldick, Isaac Newton believed the Word of God was put together so supernaturally that it could contain hidden truths people had not yet uncovered.
Les presents Isaac Newton as far more than an inventor — a serious Bible scholar who believed the Bible was so supernaturally constructed that it could contain hidden truths yet to be uncovered. Les's teaching on the supernatural Book is supported in the transcripts by his references to the Bible codes research, the mathematical perfection of every Hebrew and Greek letter, and the claim that removing one verse would make the whole text fall apart. While Les says he doesn't need the codes to trust the Book, he affirms the underlying reality that the Word of God contains truths hidden until God chooses to reveal them.
Romans 16:25 — Paul speaks of a mystery kept secret since the world began, showing that Scripture itself testifies to God hiding truths before revealing them.
Ephesians 3:9 — Paul says the mystery was hid in God from the beginning of the world — the very passage Les points to for the teaching on hidden truths.
Scripture itself testifies that God keeps truths hidden until He chooses to reveal them. In Romans 16:25, the apostle Paul speaks of "the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began." Then in Ephesians 3:9 he speaks of "the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ." The Bible therefore plainly teaches that there are hidden, secret things in God's purposes that are unveiled at His appointed time. Paul also reminds the Gentile believers in Ephesus that before the revelation of the mystery they were "aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world" (Ephesians 2:12). Their standing as part of the people of God was itself something hidden until the proper time for it to be made known.
Les Feldick teaches that the Bible is a supernaturally constructed Book — so precisely put together that every letter is in exactly the right place ([Clip 1]). He tells of a mathematician in England in the 1930s who demonstrated, using the numerical values of Hebrew and Greek letters, that every verse of the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament fits mathematically; remove a single verse or word and the whole structure falls apart ([Clip 2]). Les also acknowledges the modern Bible codes research being done with computers in Israel, which claims to find hidden codes in the mathematical values of the Hebrew letters. He says he is not refuting it, but he is not ready to jump on it either — the findings tell him nothing more than he always knew: the Book is supernatural and can be trusted ([Clip 1], [Clip 2]). In the fuller teaching context, Les presents Isaac Newton as far more than an inventor — a serious Bible scholar who believed the Word of God had been put together in such a supernatural way that it could contain hidden truths people had not yet uncovered. This understanding is tied to a report of roughly 2,000 pages of Newton's notes, which influenced the Jewish mathematician in Israel associated with the book Bible Codes. Les reinforces the whole theme by teaching that God kept certain aspects of Scripture hidden in His mind and revealed them progressively, in His own time — as Paul puts it in Ephesians, the mystery was "hid in God" from the beginning of the world ([Clip 4], [Clip 5], [Clip 7]).
Les refers to the Bible codes research being done by mathematicians in Israel and says he is not refuting it or pooh-poohing it — but it is so fantastic he is not ready to jump on it. To him, the codes only confirm what he always knew: the Book is supernaturally put together, with every letter in exactly the right place. He also recalls a mathematician in England in the 1930s who showed that every verse of the Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament fits mathematically — remove one verse or one word and the whole thing falls apart ([Clip 1], [Clip 2]).
Les makes clear he is not refuting the findings, nor is he "pooh-poohing" them — but they are so fantastic he is not ready to jump on them. His main point is that the codes don't tell him anything more than he always knew: the Bible is supernatural, and he has trusted it as such for many years. That trust, he says, is all he asks people to place in the Book ([Clip 1], [Clip 2]).
Les teaches that God did not dump everything on the human race at once; revelation is progressive, and certain aspects of Scripture were kept hidden in the mind of God until He saw fit to reveal them. He begins with Abraham in Genesis 21:33 and moves through Scripture to the New Testament, where Paul says the mystery was "hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ" (Ephesians 3:9). God, Les emphasizes, is a God who can keep things secret as long as He cares to — the church age and the rapture were never hinted at in the Old Testament prophecies or in Christ's earthly ministry, and even the New Testament writers speak of things kept secret and now revealed ([Clip 4], [Clip 5], [Clip 7]).
Les points to fulfilled prophecy. He asks whether any other book of religion can tell the future 2500 years in advance — and answers that not one can, while this Book's prophecies are being fulfilled before our eyes. Because so much prophecy has already come true, and the rest can already be seen coming, Les says we can rest on the Word of God as absolute truth ([Clip 3], [Clip 6]). This prophetic track record is the foundation for believing that a Book put together so supernaturally could contain hidden truths.

He's praying, and look what he prays. Verse 16, "...that he would grant you..." Now don't lose sight. Who is he writing to? Gentiles. He's writing to you and I. And he says, "...O that he," God, "...would grant you," Gentiles, "...according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit," capital S, the Holy Spirit, where?

Supernatural Construction of the Book
Les introduces the Bible codes research from mathematicians in Israel and recalls a mathematician in England, then states his core conviction: this Book is supernaturally put together and every letter is in exactly the right place.
Mathematical Perfection and Hidden Codes
Les explains that Hebrew and Greek letters carry numerical values and that a proof shows every verse of the Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament fits mathematically; he also says Israeli computers are finding supposedly hidden codes, but he doesn't need them — he already knows the Book is supernatural.
Fulfilled Prophecy Confirms the Supernatural Book
Les argues that every fulfilled prophecy confirms the Book is supernatural, and that no other religious book can foretell the future 2500 years in advance.
Progressive Revelation
Les teaches that God did not reveal everything at once; certain aspects of Scripture were kept hidden in God's mind until He revealed them progressively, beginning with Abraham in Genesis 21:33.
God Keeps Secrets Until His Time
Les teaches that God can keep things secret as long as He chooses — the church age and the rapture were not even hinted at in the prophecies or in Christ's earthly ministry.
Prophecy's Track Record
Les points out that prophecy foretold events hundreds or thousands of years in advance and it has all come true, so believers can rest on the Word of God as absolute truth.
Hidden in God, Now Revealed
Les reads Ephesians 3 and Ephesians 2:11-12 to show that things were kept secret in God and are revealed by bits and pieces through history.
Romans 16:25: Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Paul describes the mystery kept secret since the world began — direct biblical evidence that hidden truths exist in God's Word.
Ephesians 3:9: And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Paul says the mystery was hid in God from the beginning of the world, the key verse Les uses for the hidden-truths teaching.
Ephesians 2:11-12: Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Paul reminds Gentiles they were once aliens and strangers — a state of affairs that was part of God's hidden purpose before the mystery was revealed.
Genesis 21:33: And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
Les uses Abraham's calling on the everlasting God as the starting point for the progressive revelation of hidden truth.
Yes. According to Les Feldick's teaching, Isaac Newton believed the Word of God had been put together so supernaturally that it could contain hidden truths people had not yet uncovered. This is connected with a report of roughly 2,000 pages of Newton's notes, which influenced the Jewish mathematician in Israel associated with the Bible Codes book.
Les says he is not refuting or pooh-poohing the Bible codes, but the findings are so fantastic he is not ready to jump on them. They don't tell him anything more than he always knew — that the Book is supernaturally put together and can be trusted.
Les notes that Newton wrote that in later times, shortly before the Lord's return, a group of men would be raised up who could discern the prophecies written in the Book. Les presents this as something Newton recognized nearly 200 years before the present understanding of prophecy.
Les teaches that God reveals truth progressively, in bits and pieces, as history unfolds. Certain aspects of Scripture were kept hidden in the mind of God until He saw fit to reveal them, as Paul says in Ephesians 3 that the mystery was hid in God from the beginning of the world.
