Ethiopian Calendar: Today marks the 2000th year since the birth of Christ

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was listening the the BBC last night and they did an piece on the Ethiopian Calendar, which predates our current calendar. Apparently, about 700 AD the calendars where changed to our current one, but the highland Ethiopian Christians didn't get the memo.

Sept. 11th, 2007 is (according to the Ethiopian Calendar) exactly 2000 years since the birth of Christ.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_calendar for details. The calendar is based on the Egyptian calendar and is over 7500 years old.

Wow! Perhaps the below excerpt from here: http://www.californiajudgment2008.citymax....age/4415925.htm is not so unbelievable after all?!

Now we will document how simply yet profoundly the bible reveals the real birth date of JESUS CHRIST. Here's what Luke 2:8-11 says:
(8)Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.
(9)And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.
(10)Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.
(11)For there is born to you "THIS DAY" in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Notice the context in these verses is all these events are happening on the "SAME DAY". The major sign that something of major importance was happening was given in verse "9". Then the Declaration of what that Major event was that changed history for all time is given in verse "11". The Sign in "9"~"11" the declaration!!
"THIS DAY" = "911" CHRIST WAS BORN !!
gematria of: BIRTHDAY(87)+OF(21)+JESUS(74)= "182"
SON(48)+OF(21)+GOD(26)+BIRTHDATE(87="182" 1+ 8 = "9" + 2 = "11" ***!! 911 !!***

GOD(26) X "7" = "182" ~ (7=spiritual perfection) Notice JESUS CHRIST = 151 gematria and 1+5+1 = 7

John 2:1 is verse number 2801 of the New Testament. Notice 2801 reveals 8+1= 9 and 2+8+1= 11.

Also the gematria for TOWER = 81 and 2 of them are in 2801!!
2801 identifies the TWIN TOWERS of 911 !!
Reverse match of 2801 = 1082 revealing number 182
and gematria of BIRTHDAY OF JESUS = 182
and gematria of SON OF GOD BIRTHDATE = 182

Very interesting.

In Christ,
