Is it disturbing that many Christians don't know that 1522 AD comes before 1545 AD?

why is that disturbing to you? many people don't know many things for many reasons. i recentlty saw a report on how few 'average Americans' know the words to the national anthem. is that disturbing?

Humans seem to like this stuff...\n\nAmazingly, the below quote is from an Assyrian tablet that is 4,800 years old, older than any part of the bible:\n\n"Our earth is degenerate in these latter days. There are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end. Bribery and corruption are common."\n\nThat was written in 2,800 BCE.  It does appear there is nothing new under the sun.\n\nCheck out the site below for even more "End Times" that have come and gone.

Don't worry your little head over it, they said the same thing about 6/6/66. It ain't gonna happen, all date setting is useless. The Father Only, had this information, during the Incarnation of Jesus. He kept it in His Own Power & Devine Knowledge till Jesus returned to Heaven & once again took His Seat as God. The Bible says, "He willingly laid aside His Godhood, not thinking It to be something to hold on to. So He could taste Death for every man. Having done so He returned to Heaven, and we know Him no more after the flesh." He took up His Godhood, and now when He returns, He comes back as God Almighty. No man will be able to hurt Him as they did 2,000 years ago. He will slay 200,000,000 with the Sword of His Mouth (His Word) and split the Mount of Olives in two when He arrives at Jerusalem, after Armageddon is finished. Then the Jews will recognize Him as Messiah,  "When they look upon Him Whom they pierced." The nimber 666 is the numerical value of the name of a man who will become the anti-christ. There are 3 things that will be used in the anti-christ kingdom for people that wish to buy or sell. 1. His Mark (currently unknown) 2. His name (currently unknown) 3. The number of his name (666 currently all we know of the anti-christ) The Scriptures call him "the king of the North" "the Assyrian, the oppressor of God's People." This points to modern day Syria, it is due North of Jerusalem. Keep your eyes on Syria, I think the anti-christ will prove the Scriptures Right once again. By the way, God's Name adds up to 777 & Jesus adds up to 888. God's being Perfect Completeness & Jesus' being the number of New Beginnings. 6,000 yrs from Adam, 1,000 yrs for the Millinium equals 7,000 years. Eternity begins at the end of Jesus' 1,000 year Reign. God Bless, Pastor "B"

Can I shed some light here? First off, the bible says no man shall know the hour nor the day, behold I come like a thief in the night......Okay, that doesn't mean there aren't going to be any old ancient clues laying around for us to find a NEAR time-frame.\n \nThe Aztec calendar ends abruptly in 2012\n\nThe recorded time-line in the Grand Gallery of the Great pyramid stops at 2013 I believe\n\nCatholic prophecy has only one more pope after the current one.\n\nSo these are all OLD prophetic signs to use as clue. as old as, or much older than the Bible. I don't know where 1984 came from. 2000 was a misinterpretation from the Bible, a verse about lasting a thousand years but not thousands, so midnight 1999 had to be a deadline.

I am not sure how everyione figures this is the day of the devil. The number of the beast is 666 not 6/6/2006. Why would anyone think this day is different. The year 06/06/06 was about the time Christ was born.

I agree\n\nso-called christians are not following the Bible..only traditions of man\nIf the date of Jesus birth were important, dont you think it would be recorded? Can anyone find a record of Jesus birth being celebrated in the Bible?....I dont think so.  \nThis is because God's people were aware of the pagan roots of birthday celebrations...\n\nWhat is most important concerning Christ and his redeeming mankind is his sacrificial death.\n\nCertainly there are records of that in  the Bible.  Jesus gave the command to remember him (Lu 22:19) this was a new celebration to replace the Passover of the old Mosaic Law\n (every Nisan 14..which falls 14 days after the new moon following the spring equinox--according to the lunar calendar used at that time)

Ok get this... God said that it wouldn't happen until the good news of the kingdom were preached throughout the entire inhabited earth, ok? THEN by that reasoning, all the people you're asking about will have learned of it and had the chance to accept or reject it. So then they would be done away with if they rejected it :)

The article is interesting, but it seems to have some flaws. It was too long and involved to read carefully, but I skimmed the points it was trying to make. One that jumped out at me was worshipping on Sunday. The article says we do that because the Pope said to. The fact is that the earliest church worshipped on Sunday. Paul says the day doesn't matter, as long as we worship.\n\nAnother problem is that the Bible tells us that once the antichrist comes to power, we only have 7 years left before the end. The catholic church has been around for far longer than 7 years!\n\nThere are more, but I'm a very slow typer, so I'll let it go at two.\n\nI have a big problem with some of the catholic beliefs, but I really don't think this article should be taken seriusly. When I have more time, I am going to look at it more closely, though.

You are right on the money. Non-believers seem MUCH more knowledgable about the history of Christianity and the bible as well. Seems like the more you know about it, the less sense it makes....

The Mayan Calendar is probably where this came from.  I've been attempting to determine how that particular date came up.  Using the Gregorian calendar (our common), it is believed that the Mayans started counting to that date from what is called the "Birth of Venus", which is believed to be Aug 13, 3114 BC.  From that day, after "13 Baktuns", There would be a "re-awaking of time and space".  One Baktun is 144,000 days, or about 400 years (shy 80 minutes).\n\n13 Baktuns is 1,872,000 days.  There was no zero year between B.c. and C.e.   August 13, 3114, was actually, 3113 years, plus the number of days between Aug 13, and the end of 3114, which I believe, was 139.  It's important to understand the Gregorian calendar, in order to interpet the Mayan calendar (because these calculations are determined using the Gregorian calendar).  \n\nThe calendar was corrected on Aug 4, 1582 by pope Gregory, so from that point forward, and backward, the dates can be calculated using the Gregorian calendar.  At that time, it was determined that each four years would add one day, called a leap year, but on century years that are not divisible by 400 that would have been a leap year, the day (feb 29) would not be added.  But, on century years that are divisible by 400, there would be a day added, a leap year, as 2000 was.\n\nAnyway, I could go further here, but that date is about a year off..  I figure that date to be 12.25.2011, using the information above.  And the Mayans only believed that a "re-awaking of time and space" would occure on that date.  I don't believe it will be any major shift, and I wouldn't worry too much about it, as there is nothing we can do about it..   Just like 2000 when everybody was worried, nothing happened, except the people that were born on Feb 29, got treated to an extra birthday...

yeah i'm kinda with her opinion, 0 isn't a significant digit therefore the only other possible time period in which the birth of the anti-christ could've been(assuming it was 666) would be \njune 6, 6 A.D. \nor\njune 6, 6 B.C.

I think you're right. The reason He's waiting is so that more people have an opportunity to come to repentance.\nDid you know that there are more people alive today than have died in all the time between Jesus and the year 2000?\nIn the year 100 AD, the (worldwide) ratio of Christians to non-Christians was about 1:300\nToday, that ratio is about 1:7

Signed with the following comment...\nYa know there's 6/6/2006 and 6/6/1906 and 6/6/1806 and there will be 6/6/3006 and 6/6/4006.  Why is this so special?

The bible says that no one knows when. The number of the beast is 666, but that doesn’t necessarily mean today.\n\nIn Daniel, there are some unclear references to March 26 while discussing the end of times.\n\nIt could be today, it could be tomorrow, I don’t know. But I do know that whenever it is, when the Lord comes back, only the Christians are going. Everyone else gets to enjoy a nice little 7 years here on earth.\n\nSo, here, once again, is the message that has prevailed 2000 years:\nGET SAVED!!!!!!!!!

Well was the devil's son born in the year 666?  How about on 6/6/1906 or 6/6/1806 etc.\n\nJust because there are three sixes in the date this year does not mean the world is going to end or the devil is going to have a child.  It is a total myth and a stupid idea.

Not really. My faith in Jesus is keeping me strong. In any case, this date happened already in history...6/6/1906, 6/6/1806...get the drift?

I wish that people could understand that 666 is the NUMBER OF THE BEAST in Revelation.  It has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DATE.  No one can fortell Jesus' return, He will come at the appointed time that was set even before the world began.  God bless!
