[Author's Note: I would have chosen a different picture as this one is rather disturbing. But, since this NOT an original article by Apparently Apparel, we will not change it in any way, shape, or form.]
(PressCore) By now everyone has heard about the end of times being predicted because the ancient Mayan calendar reportedly ends on December 21, 2012. Many movies have now been made that emphasises a 2012 doomsday scenario. But the end of the Mayan calendar is actually much sooner than that. A major miscalculation has been made because everyone failed to subtract the time adjustments made by Roman Emperor Julius Caesar in 47 B.C and then again by Roman Pope Gregory XIII and astronomer Christopher Clavius in 1582. What did they do to adjust time and thereby effect the Mayan Calendar end time date? Roman Emperor Julius Caesar introduced the Julian Calendar with an added Leap Year day every 4th year in 47 B.C. and Roman Pope Gregory XIII and astronomer Christopher Clavius introduced the Gregorian calendar which adjusted the Julian Leap Year by dropping 10 days in October of 1582.
Leap Year has resulted in a miscalculation wherein the Mayan calendar’s December 21, 2012 end date actually ends this year, in 2011. I will now show you that it is entirely plausible that 2012 is actually 2011.
The current year 2011 – 1582 (the year the Gregorian calendar was introduced) = 429 years have since passed. 429 / 4 = 107.25 days added since 1582.
1582 A.D. + 47 B.C. (the year Roman Emperor Julius Caesar introduced Leap Year) = 1629 years for the Julian Calendar. 1629 / 4 = 407.25 days added between 47 B.C. and 1582 A.D. – 10 days dropped with the introduction of the Gregorian calendar leaving 397.25 leap year days added.
107.25 days added by the Gregorian calendar + 407.25 days added with the Julian calendar – 10 days dropped = 504.5 days added by Leap Years. Approximately 504.5 days has to be dropped in order to realign with the Mayan calendar.
December 21 is the 355th day of a 365 days Gregorian calendar year. 355 – number of days added with Leap Year or 504.5 = – 149.5 days or 149.5 days that still needs to be subtracted to realign with the Mayan calendar. 365 days of the year calendar – 149.50 = the 215.5th day of the year which is August 3. According to these calculations the Mayan calendar actually ended on August 3, 2011. But the warning by Army Specialist William Millay, to “Prepare for the end of the world” reported in the previous article titled “U.S. Army Alaska military police officer put in protective custody after warning mother of imminent threat – November 9/11″ was made public on November 1, 2011. If this is the case then the Gregorian calendar still needs to be adjusted to align the Mayan calendar with a November 2011 date. If November 9, 2011 is December 21, 2012 I miss calculated by 97.5 days. How many days were dropped in the transition from B.C. to A.D. time? Nobody knows how many days the Romans dropped in order to adjust time to account for the transition. It was not until 532 AD that the Roman Pope replaced Julian AUC (AUC stands for Ab Urbe Condita, meaning “from the foundation of Rome”) years with Julian A.D. years.
As many as 90 days may have been simply dropped by the Romans (the Romans created both the Julian and Gregorian calendars) in order to forever change the time of year when Jesus Christ was born and bring all Christians under Roman authority.
Anyone who has read the Bible will know emphatically that Christ was born in the fall and not on December 25th. The latter date was the great pagan holy day of the ancient world. It was the birthday of the sun god, when at the winter solstice, the sun that had been in decline grew stronger again and regained new life. It was Baal’s birthday. To the Romans it was the birthday of the invincible sun.
At the time of Christ’s birth, the area of Jerusalem was very crowded with visitors, because of the celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles. People took advantage of this yearly journey to Jerusalem to pay their taxes, as they were collected at this time of the year. There was only one pay day every year – harvest time. Taxes were therefore generally collected at harvest time. The Bible gives us evidence that Jesus’ parents travelled to Jerusalem for the spring and fall Holy Days.
More evidence that Jesus was born in the Fall, at harvest time ( Feast of Tabernacles), is given pertaining to John the Baptist. Since John was born on Passover, the 15th day of Nisan (the 1st Jewish month), Jesus would have been born six months later on the 15th day of Tishri (the 7th Jewish month). The 15th day of the 7th month begins the Feast of Tabernacles (Lev. 23:34-35), also known as Sukkot. Jesus was born on the 1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles! In the year 5 BCE the Feast of Tabernacles fell in the month of September. This explains why there was no room at the inn for Joseph and Mary. A multitude of Jewish pilgrims from all over the Middle East had come to Jerusalem to observe the Feast of Tabernacles, as God required (Deu. 16:16). Bethlehem, which was only a few miles outside of Jerusalem, was also overflowing with visitors at this time because of the Feast.
In the late 4th century, in early 380 AD, Pope Damasus I was endeavoring to force all Christians in the Roman Empire to yield to his authority. He got the Emperor to issue an edict requiring them to practice the religion of Rome. The Edict of Thessalonica, also known as Cunctos populos, was delivered on 27 February 380 by Theodosius I, Gratian, and Valentinian II in order that all their subjects should profess the faith of the bishops of Rome and Alexandria.
EMPERORS GRATIAN, VALENTINIAN AND THEODOSIUS AUGUSTI. EDICT TO THE PEOPLE OF CONSTANTINOPLE.
It is our desire that all the various nations which are subject to our Clemency and Moderation, should continue to profess that religion which was delivered to the Romans by the divine Apostle Peter, as it has been preserved by faithful tradition, and which is now professed by the Pontiff Damasus and by Peter, Bishop of Alexandria, a man of apostolic holiness. According to the apostolic teaching and the doctrine of the Gospel, let us believe in the one deity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, in equal majesty and in a holy Trinity. We authorize the followers of this law to assume the title of Catholic Christians; but as for the others, since, in our judgment they are foolish madmen, we decree that they shall be branded with the ignominious name of heretics, and shall not presume to give to their conventicles the name of churches. They will suffer in the first place the chastisement of the divine condemnation and in the second the punishment of our authority which in accordance with the will of Heaven we shall decide to inflict.
GIVEN IN THESSALONICA ON THE THIRD DAY FROM THE CALENDS OF MARCH, DURING THE FIFTH CONSULATE OF GRATIAN AUGUSTUS AND FIRST OF THEODOSIUS AUGUSTUS
This edict forced all people under Roman authority to observe only the newly formed Roman church. Everyone, including all Christians were henceforth to be called Catholic Christians. As required by this new Roman Law from then on everyone under the authority of Rome was to observe only Catholic traditions – the birthday of the invincible sun or Baal’s birthday on December 25 – regarded in the Hebrew Bible as a false god.
(Jeremiah 9:13): “A conspiracy exists among the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. They have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant that I made with their fathers. 11 Therefore, thus says the Lord, Behold, I am bringing disaster upon them that they cannot escape. Though they cry to me, I will not listen to them. 12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to whom they make offerings, but they cannot save them in the time of their trouble. 13 For your gods have become as many as your cities, O Judah, and as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to shame, altars to make offerings to Baal.”
Given that the Bible reveals that Christ was born in the Fall, during the Feast of Tabernacles – mid to late September and the Romans Catholics only observe December 25 as his birth date then some 90 days were dropped in order to validify the Roman date.
