Calendar error?

September 22, 2001 -- end of 6,000 years?

(See August 9 addition at bottom)

Dear friends:

On the Five Doves site today, Ted Porter has a fascinating post which, if true, has profound prophetic implications. An excerpt is below (John, please do not repost on 5D):

September 22, 2001, 7:04 PM EDT - End of 6000 years?

It bears witness to C.A.L. Totten, a relatively well respected Biblical chronologist, who in a book he wrote in 1891, called "Joshua's Long Day and the Dial of Ahaz" points out changes in the times and seasons that has resulted in our calendar getting ahead of true time by 1 3/4 years. The Romans are responsible for pushing it ahead from September to March when the new era began as the 1st year of Rome and Parliament in 1752 got ahead 3 months when they made the start of the year January. And Abbot Dionysius Exiguns lost a year by starting at 1 instead of 0 A.D. Let us watch.

ADDED August 9, 2001:

In an email yesterday, missionary/evangelist Christine Darg of Daystar International wrote:

Dear Jim,

I was in the Orthodox Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem a few days ago and purchased a book that many Jews are reading. "The Way of God" by Moshe Chaim Luzzatto was written in the 1700s and is published in both Hebrew and English. Centuries ago, this rabbi had revelation about the 7 days of history:

"Existence is divided into six periods, each containing one thousand years,
followed by a seventh thousand-year period, which will be a period of 'rest.'
At the end of this large-scale cycle of seven, all existence will be renewed
under a new organization and order, according to the Highest Wisdom's decree."

The Apostle Barnabas, of course, had the same revelation in his epistle.

Blessings, Christine
