Two years eh?...

One of the cooler things that I was told in Machlon, was when we had the Lubavitch speakers. According to Judaism, the world as we know it should cease to exist by year 6000, probably with the arrival of the Messiah, the present year 5758. What's interesting, though is that they don't view it as such. They view it as six millenium, then the seventh as rest, just as six days of the week, and then the seventh is rest.

The thing is, that it's not the clear cut millenium change. For the Sabbath, we light the candles eighteen minutes early, so when multiplied out, that means the Messiah is coming in about two years.

Granted, these are the people who thought that their head Rabbi was the Messiah four years ago, but what is cool, is that at the same time, others are saying that in two years...year 2000, their God is coming back.

If nothing else, maybe it'll be punishment for all the people who are frothing at the mouth, waiting until year 2001, just to stick it to everybody, and in a smart aleck way point out that since it's 1-1-2001 is the real new millenium, and everybody who celebrated it last year is just too stupid to ever talk to again.

But, the naught should be a fairly interesting year.

Get me outa here!!!
