It's ALL an artificial construct....
GOD is not operating on the Western calendar...nor on any other calendar
developed by man...
Whenever 'the millenium' ends or begins is based solely on a subjective
decision made by a body of men...doesn't matter a whit about
'corrections', etc.
In the west, we've set up an artificial construct where every 1000 years,
people 'lose it' and expect the world to end...
The problem is (and it doesn't matter whether it's a 'corrected' calendar
or not) is that people forget that there was never a year zero, that
centuries (and hence, 'millenium') start with a year '1' (or ending in
'1'), which means it ends in a year ending in 'zero')...
The same argument went on 100 years ago, where those 'in the know'
unsuccessfully tried to stop 'Fin de Siecle' parties being held on Dec.
31, 1899, accurately pointing out that the 19th century didn't really end
until a year later, and the 20th century start on Jan. 1, 1901....
It's a losing argument...now, just like then...so my suggestion is that
the party last a year and two days, start on Dec. 31, 1999, and end at
midnight on Jan. 1, 2001.... ;-)
