Which Calendar?

Now, to continue with the importance of this unique year in prophecy we must deal with the following problem:

By what calendar do we calculate what year this is? When did this year's calculation presently begin? Also, it is imperative to compute The New Year, the Sabbatical years and Jubilees according to the Solar Calendar.

The most difficult thing for most of us is to completely divorce ourselves from the BCE and CE or BC and AD Calendar. One has the same problem in trying to learn the metric system. One must forget inches, feet, yards and miles. Until we do we will always be confused in our minds and unable to think metric freely. I never contemplate about what the BC or BCE date is. Let me explain why.

Today we reckon time by three different calendars. We have the Christian Calendar, the traditional Jewish Lunar/Solar Calendar and the The Jubilee Torah Calendar based on the Sun and Zodiac.

We are accustomed to the Christian system of reckoning dates using the Gregorian Calendar. This system was established by Pope Gregory XIII, in the year 1582. England, by the way, did not adopt this new calendar until 1752. Another change wrought by this new method was to mark January 1st as the beginning of the New Year. The monks computed time based on the year that they thought to be the birth of Christ. They designated that year as the year "0". The year before was Before Christ, or the year "0" was the year "1" BC. Whereas, the year after "0" was the year "1" Anno-Domini AD "1". This means from BC "1" plus the year "0" plus AD "1" is three years. Some church historians just add the 2+2=4 years.

These monks were better theologians than they were mathematicians, astronomers or historians. In view of mathematics, there was no year "0". If there was a year zero then it was a year nothing --zero -- happened. History and astronomy have no account of a year zero. So then, would the years BC "1" and AD "1" equal only two years?

No! If their system were logical (and it is not), the year one is the year "1". The Year "1" is neither BC nor AD. The year "2" BC would be the year before the year "1" and "2" AD would be the year after "1". Hence there is only one year between BC "2" and AD "2". Not four, not three, not two -- but only one year!

Now folks, just stop and ask yourself one question. If the monk's time transit was off by two, three, or four years from zero degrees in the pivotal triangulation point, how much discrepancy would accumulate through the centuries both BC and AD? It took several centuries for them to acknowledge that: "Jesus was actually born four years Before Christ."

Historians and archaeologists confirm that there are slightly more than 200 years missing in the 400 years BCE. The abbreviation BCE is for "Before Common Era". Years ago, I coined a correction to that contraction to -- "Before Common Error"!

The chutzpah of the academic world to name this unscientific system the ADS, or the Accepted Dating System. Who can accept a system that is admittedly four years off, three years out and two hundred years short in a four hundred year span? The ADS is a grossly unscientific system. Moreover, ADS throws all the Biblical and non-religious history off by over 200 years. Many in the academia want to throw the dating system off. They want to injure and impair the historical correctness of the Biblical accounts to be Politically Correct. [PC] ! You hear about the international conspiracy of the Jews. In reality, it is an international conspiracy against the Jews, Judaism and the State of Israel. Someone rightly said: "Higher Criticism is Higher anti-Semitism."

Now let us look briefly at the traditional Jewish Lunar/Solar Calendar.
