History of the Gregorian Calendar
The Gregorian calendar resulted from a perceived need to reform the method of calculating dates of Easter. Under the Julian calendar the dating of Easter had become standardized, using March 21 as the date of the equinox and the Metonic cycle as the basis for calculating lunar phases. By the thirteenth century it was realized that the true equinox had regressed from March 21 (its supposed date at the time of the Council of Nicea, +325) to a date earlier in the month. As a result, Easter was drifting away from its springtime position and was losing its relation with the Jewish Passover. Over the next four centuries, scholars debated the "correct" time for celebrating Easter and the means of regulating this time calendrically. The Church made intermittent attempts to solve the Easter question, without reaching a consensus.
By the sixteenth century the equinox had shifted by ten days, and astronomical New Moons were occurring four days before ecclesiastical New Moons. At the behest of the Council of Trent, Pope Pius V introduced a new Breviary in 1568 and Missal in 1570, both of which included adjustments to the lunar tables and the leap-year system. Pope Gregory XIII, who succeeded Pope Pius in 1572, soon convened a commission to consider reform of the calendar, since he considered his predecessor's measures inadequate.
The recommendations of Pope Gregory's calendar commission were instituted by the papal bull "Inter Gravissimus," signed on 1582 February 24. Ten days were deleted from the calendar, so that 1582 October 4 was followed by 1582 October 15, thereby causing the vernal equinox of 1583 and subsequent years to occur about March 21. And a new table of New Moons and Full Moons was introduced for determining the date of Easter.
Subject to the logistical problems of communication and governance in the sixteenth century, the new calendar was promulgated through the Roman-Catholic world. Protestant states initially rejected the calendar, but gradually accepted it over the coming centuries. The Eastern Orthodox churches rejected the new calendar and continued to use the Julian calendar with traditional lunar tables for calculating Easter. Because the purpose of the Gregorian calendar was to regulate the cycle of Christian holidays, its acceptance in the non-Christian world was initially not at issue. But as international communications developed, the civil rules of the Gregorian calendar were gradually adopted around the world.
Anyone seriously interested in the Gregorian calendar should study the collection of papers resulting from a conference sponsored by the Vatican to commemorate the four-hundredth anniversary of the Gregorian Reform (Coyne et al., 1983).

The year 6-6-6, according to the Gregorian calendar, happened 2000 years ago, while Jesus was a child.
And for a quarter of the worlds population, the Chinese, it's actually the year 4704.

1492 AD (when Columbus discovered America) was year 7000 since the creation of the world according to Orthodox tradition. In Russia the end of the world was expected, people were sleeping in coffins. See, we are always ready for an apocalypse in one separate country :D
Russian Orthodox church lives according to Juian calendar, we have Christmas and other holidays 13 days later then you, Western barbarians ;) and we enjoy Christmas and New Year two times... That's why here we drink non-stop from Dec, 24th to Jan 13th... And I think we'll have apocalypse two weeks later then the rest of the world :t

Perhaps my understanding of 666 is different then yours?
The meaning I get is NOT a date.
It is........
the anti shows up at the 6th trump, 6th sign, 6th seal/vial.
The real one shows up at the 7th trump, 7th sign, 7th seal/vial.

So is Donald's third wife the fourth Trump, Donald being the first, or do you count his children which with two (I think) before this wife, that make's Donald's present wife the antichrist?
This is all so confusing.

the sign of the beast is... well, i dont know exactly how to explain it.

:rofl Thnks for makin me feel a bit more comfortable. If no one on these boards is worried, I shouldn't be either. I'm still gonna stay home, I'll just be lot more relaxed.
For Y2K I blasted off about $300. worth of kick butt fireworks, had a great time. It lasted about 15 minutes, and got a surprisingly large mount of applause from my neighbors. - Good Times:aok
-
So for June 6th you need $666 worth of fireworks. And maybe you'll get a $666 ticket depending on which state you live in. Cheers!
