What Is Most Likely the End of the Late Harold What is most likely the end of the late Harold Camping’s Biblical Calendar according to all he showed that was trustworthy, and what he would have known today based on the his proven ability to be corrected throughout a fifty year ministry? INTRODUCTION: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ According to the information in his books, and a more faithful understanding of the scriptures, follows a simplified calendar, Table 1, the late Harold Camping could have likely arrived at, had he not repeatedly been pressured to publish his works prematurely. It can be seen today how Mr. Camping’s study on the gospel time line had been sabotaged. The year 2024 A.D. could be the conclusion to Mr. Camping’s study his May 21, 2011 calendar had ultimately been pointing to. By, 2012, my eyes had been fully opened to the two virgin birth dates in Harold’s calendar, [7 B.C. & 1 A.D.]. In, 2015, after reading afresh Harold’s 1994? Book; an exceedingly interesting quote was then found on, page, 440, that clearly exposed the same excess of 7 years that exists between, 1 A.D., and, 7 B.C. His statement from his book 1994? follows: “That is, creation occurred 11,000 years, (remember 11,000 + 6 years), before Christ, (Camping, H. 1994?).” Table 1 Adam’s sin The Exodus King Christ’s The Israel Sep May Yet other Yet other against the Noachian From David’s Virgin Lord’s The Fig 6, 21 Seven Seven Law of God Flood Egypt Israel Birth Atonement Tree 1994 2011 Years Years Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Zero 6023 9566 10006 11006 11045 12960 13000 13017 13023 13030 11006 B.C. 4983 B.C. 1440 B.C. 1000 B.C. 0 B.C. is 39 A.D. 1954 A.D. 1994 A.D. 2011 A.D. 2017 A.D. 2024 A.D. 1 A.D. From the first Adam to the Last Adam The statement shown above from Mr. Camping’s 1994? book, on page 440, [amongst other things], shows how Mr. Camping had once seen the biblical earth years from Adam’s sin to Christ’s virgin birth as 11006 years. Because he received no help, and his study had not been allowed to fully mature into what can be known today, when creation began and when sin began was not fully understood by Mr. Camping, at least during the writing of 1994? It is also probable that he may have understood this but in the rushed process to show September 6, 1994 as the last day, according to those who were pressuring him to announce this, his statement we see on page 440 was never fully developed, and forgotten about. For example, we can confidently and biblically assert now that time begins with Adam and Eve’s sin, according to the scriptures (Romans 5:17). By Saija, S. (8/15/17) To continue: when the year, 1 A.D., [which is when the earth is 11013 years old], is removed from the calendar, and, the year, 7 B.C., [when the earth is 11006 years old], becomes, 1 A.D., this act removes the 7 unbiblical years that have existed between, 7 B.C., and, 1 A.D., which now makes the year of Christ’s virgin birth, ‘EARTH 11006 YEARS’. This, simultaneously, is, THE YEAR ZERO, from Adam’s sin which would then be, 11006 B.C., when time begins because of sin and death. Time cannot exist without death (Romans 7:9). Time begins because of mankind’s sin against the law of God, (Genesis 2:16-17). According to proper hermeneutics, no where in the bible can it be proven that time existed prior to sin. But the bible can prove how time is one of the evil consequences of sin manifesting death. Because of sin eternity shall manifest a beginning of life, and an end to life, which will not exist in the New Heaven and the New Earth. Many years after having read Harold’s 1994? book, and then re-reading it afresh, carefully, I see how Harold had been rushed into the way in which he unfolded the information in his books regarding the last day. Because of the influence of the Charismatics that existed around him, [now seen as eBible and others], the spiritualization of numbers would physically take precedence over the spiritual proving of all things, [a calendar is an earthly thing that is compared with the spiritual word of God]. I believe this overwhelmed Tom Even’s attempt to rationalize the end of Harold’s ministry. To continue: Harold maintained the belief that King David began his reign over Israel, [when David was 30], (2 Samuel 5:4), to be a 1000 years before Christ’s virgin birth, which can now be seen to be, 1000 B.C., as seen in Table 2, and not rather, 1007 B.C., which is based on, 7 B.C., when the earth is 11013 years old, [1 A.D.], when Adams sin is 11013 B.C.; the erroneous, May 21, 2011, calendar which exposes two virgin birth dates, 1 A.D., and, 7 B.C., and an excess of 7 unbiblical years. One of my comforts today is in the knowledge and truth of how my attraction to Harold’s study of the time line was not primarily the calendar itself, but the gospel message Harold had the ability to parallel with the unfolding of the time line of history, manifesting the Lord Jesus Christ who saves the sinner from eternal damnation. As far as the physical calendar goes, we as a society look at the worlds calendar every day with our annual and monthly calendars, as our lives, simultaneously, unfold, according to God’s will and good pleasure. So the world calendar is very real, though it is an earthly thing having no spiritual substance in itself to reveal good or evil. As Mr. Camping correctly taught in his books, the gospel message of the Lord Jesus Christ is proven by the precepts of God, (Psalm 119:93; John 3:3-5). So, in, Precept & Prerequisite 1, we will examine one of those precepts, according to the Spirit of Truth, according to the gospel earth, [physics]: By Saija, S. (02/15/17) 2 Precept & Prerequisite 1: The earth years and the gospel years equally unfold the gospel of Jesus Christ Let’s define some terms: Earth Years: Gospel Years: Begin with Adam’s sin against Years Before and After Christ’s virgin birth, the law of God which unfold to the last day must equal the years from Adam’s sin to the last day. Table 2 Adam’s sin The Exodus King Christ’s The Israel Sep May Yet other Yet other against the Noachian From David’s Virgin Lord’s The Fig 6, 21 Seven Seven Law of God Flood Egypt Israel Birth Atonement Tree 1994 2011 Years Years Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Earth Year Zero 6023 9566 10006 11006 11045 12960 13000 13017 13023 13030 11006 B.C. 4983 B.C. 1440 B.C. 1000 B.C. 0 B.C. = 39 A.D. 1954 A.D. 1994 A.D. 2011 A.D. 2017 A.D. 2024 A.D. 1 A.D. Both, the Earth years, beginning with mankind’s sin, [in the first Adam], against the law of God, and, the Gospel years, before and after Christ’s virgin birth, must perfectly harmonize with the Gospel Message of the Lord Jesus Christ. This includes the fundamentals of the biblical calendar, (John 3:12). While it is true that earthly things in themselves are never looked at as the proof of the Spirit of truth, still, all that is in the earth beneath, and the earth above, and the sea, and all that is there-in, must perfectly harmonize with the Spirit of Truth, and not the spirit of the world, which is founded on earthly things, and the spirit of the world, (1 Corinthians 2:12). The late Harold Camping correctly described it this way: “the unfolding of the time line of history is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ – the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is the unfolding of the time line of history”. By Saija, S. (02/15/17) 3 King David is an integral part of the eternal gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ (1 Samuel 13:14; Acts 13:22). Subsequently, if Christ’s virgin birth is when the earth is 11006 years old, [1000 years after David began his reign over Israel when David is 30], (2 Samuel 5:4), then Adam’s sin must be identified as, 11006 B.C., when the earth is zero years old, as seen in the Tables above. The ‘year zero’ can be understood as a synonym for eternity that has no beginning and no end, and the spiritual condition in which God exists. Jesus Christ, who is God, on the earth or off earth, never ceased to be eternal God, without beginning and without end, (Hebrews 7:3). This is what the unfolding of the time line of history typifies; because Jesus Christ who is eternal God purchased the same with His Life, which had been ordained before the world began (Matthew 13:44; 2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 1:2). For example, if Adam’s sin did not begin a specific day, [in the day, manifesting eternal life, and eternal damnation], (Genesis 2:1- 4; Jude 1:4), and Christ’s virgin birth did not justify, ‘in that day’, on a specific day, [from Adam’s sin], (Matthew 1:1-25), then Mary and Joseph, and the three magi never existed on a specific day, which God never ordained from before the foundation of the world.

This review is based on the experience of relational database systems implementation in the intermediate period. One of the main corrections are recommendation on date and time data types. This paper reinvestigate the topic from the nowadays point of view. Keywords: date, time, relational model of data. © 2018 Vladimir Dimitrov 307 Proceedings of the VIII International Conference "Distributed Computing and Grid-technologies in Science and Education" (GRID 2018), Dubna, Moscow region, Russia, September 10 - 14, 2018 1. Introduction Every computer system is a hierarchy of virtual machines: hardware, BIOS, operating system, system software (programming languages, database systems, run-times), middleware, application. Every such a “virtual machine” uses its own system clock and date-time representation. Usually, system clocks and date-time representations are incompatible with each other that is a stable source for vulnerabilities. The most popular among these vulnerabilities is Year 2000 problem. The system clock’s time scale begins from some fixed time point called “epoch start” and ends in another time point – “epoch end”. The time scale is discrete based on some fixed tick, like seconds, milliseconds etc. The time points are measured in the number of ticks since the epoch start.

The content of this article is an edited version of the transcript of my lecture on World Pentecost held on July 24, 2009 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.1 This article addresses from a different standpoint part of the content of the book written by Kevin Dann and myself, Christ & the Maya Calendar.2 A central theme of the book is the year 2012. This point in time is the end date of the Maya Long Count Calendar. This calendar is coming to an end at the winter solstice of the year 2012, specifically on December 21, 2012. Many books have been written about this date. Some authors are prophesying a variety of catastrophes. Others are saying that we are going to wake up on December 22, 2012 and find ourselves in a kind of paradise, with all the terrible things occurring here on the Earth finished (“over and done with”).

  • In Interdisciplinary Studies of Climate and History
    PERSPECTIVE Theimportanceof“year zero” in interdisciplinary studies of climate and history PERSPECTIVE Ulf Büntgena,b,c,d,1,2 and Clive Oppenheimera,e,1,2 Edited by Jean Jouzel, Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de L’Environ, Orme des Merisiers, France, and approved October 21, 2020 (received for review August 28, 2020) The mathematical aberration of the Gregorian chronology’s missing “year zero” retains enduring potential to sow confusion in studies of paleoclimatology and environmental ancient history. The possibility of dating error is especially high when pre-Common Era proxy evidence from tree rings, ice cores, radiocar- bon dates, and documentary sources is integrated. This calls for renewed vigilance, with systematic ref- erence to astronomical time (including year zero) or, at the very least, clarification of the dating scheme(s) employed in individual studies. paleoclimate | year zero | climate reconstructions | dating precision | geoscience The harmonization of astronomical and civil calendars have still not collectively agreed on a calendrical in the depths of human history likely emerged from convention, nor, more generally, is there standardi- the significance of the seasonal cycle for hunting and zation of epochs within and between communities and gathering, agriculture, and navigation.

Many systems for doing this – calendars – have been adopted throughout history. About 40 remain in use today. We cannot know when our ancestors first noted the cyclical events in the heavens that govern our sense of passing time. We have proof that Palaeolithic people thought about and recorded the astronomical cycles that give us our modern calendars. For example, a 30,000 year-old animal bone with gouged symbols resembling the phases of the Moon was discovered in France. It is difficult for many of us to imagine how much more important the cycles of the days, months and seasons must have been for people in the past than today. Most of us never experience the true darkness of night, notice the phases of the Moon or feel the full impact of the seasons.

  • The First Calends of the Julian Calendar
    The first Calends of the Julian Calendar Amelia Carolina Sparavigna Dipartimento di Scienza Applicata e Tecnologia, Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy Abstract This work is proposing an archaeo-astronomical study of the Julian calendar, a reform of the Roman calendar proposed by Julius Caesar. The calendar was inaugurated on the first of January, 45 BC (historical date). Using astronomical software CalSKY, we can investigate if the first day of this new system of organizing the days was corresponding to a Calenda, that is, to a day of new moon. It was on January 2, 45 BC (Julian day). We can also see how the new calendar adapted itself to the following phases of the moon. Keywords: Archaeoastronomy, Calendars, Software. Written 16 May 2019. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.2860135 In origin, the Roman calendar was based on the first three phases of the moon. The days were counted, as told in [1], not according to a concept of a week, but backward from lunar phases. In this calendar, the new moon was the day of a Calenda - the Calendae, the Calends, were the first days of the months -, the first quarter was corresponding to the Nones, and the full moon to the Ides. It seems that, in origin, Calends, Nones and Ides had been linked to the first sighting of the crescent moon, the first-quarter and the full moon respectively. The Calends of each month were sacred to Juno and the Ides to Jupiter. The day before each of the above mentioned day was known as its eve (pridie) and the day after each (postridie).
