ANNO DOMINI: THE YEAR OF THE LORD
The Calendar System God intended for the World
After the death of Jesus Christ, God has been guiding and helping fellow Christians through the help of the Holy Spirit. The greatest example of this is the establishment of the AD / BC Calendar system that has been spread out throughout the world. Even countries such as China, India, Malaysia, etc. use this calendar system that depicts the year 1 with the true Messiah of the world.
During the most recent New Years Celebrations, every country celebrated the number 2024:
Every country on Earth identifies the current year as 2024.
In the last 20 years the AD / BC notations have been replaced with BCE/CE but the number of the year still remains. When children around the world are learning about how the calendar system works, they will instinctually ask, “what does the number 2024 represent?” This forces every parent, teacher, human being to explain the importance of Jesus Christ, even with the new notations.
The number of the year goes up after the birth of Jesus Christ.
The number of the year goes down before the birth of Jesus Christ.
This idea of counting up the years after Jesus’ birth and counting down before Jesus’ birth was created by a Roman monk after the destruction of the Western Roman Empire in the year 525 AD.
In the Year of the Lord
The terms anno Domini (AD) and before Christ (BC) are used when designating years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. The term anno Domini is Medieval Latin and means "in the year of the Lord” but is often presented using "our Lord" instead of "the Lord", taken from the full original phrase "anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi", which translates to "in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ". The form "BC" is specific to “Before Christ” in English, and equivalent abbreviations are used in other languages: the Latin form, rarely used in English, is Ante Christum natum (ACN) or Ante Christum (AC).
The Anno Domini dating system was devised in 525 by Dionysius Exiguus to enumerate years in his Easter table. His system was to replace the Diocletian era that had been used in older Easter tables, as he did not wish to continue the memory of a tyrant who persecuted Christians. The Diocletian Calendar had year 1 as the year Diocletian became the Roman Emperor.
Author’s Notes: In my previous research I found evidence that the Christian holidays have pagan roots. But this does not diminish the importance of Christians celebrating Christmas, Easter, etc. as these holidays represent the REPLACEMENT of pagan holidays with Christian Holidays and how Christianity became the dominant religion of the world. God intended for every nation to know him through Jesus Christ and this has happened.
Evidence exists that Dionysius' desire to replace Diocletian years with a calendar based on the incarnation of Christ was to prevent people from believing the imminent end of the world. At the time, some believed that the Second Coming and end of the world would occur 500 years after the birth of Jesus. The current Anno Mundi calendar commenced with the creation of the world based on information in the Greek Septuagint. It was believed that, based on the Anno Mundi calendar, Jesus was born in the year 5500 (or 5500 years after the world was created) with the year 6000 of the Anno Mundi calendar marking the end of the world. Anno Mundi 6000 was thus equated with the second coming of Christ and the end of the world.
The last year of the old table, Diocletian Anno Martyrium 247, was immediately followed by the first year of his table, Anno Domini 532. When Dionysius devised his table, Julian calendar years were identified by naming the consuls who held office that year— Dionysius himself stated that the "present year" was "the consulship of Probus Junior", which was 525 years "since the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ".
Prior to Dionysius, the dominant calendar system was based on Emperor and Kings, which was used by Ancient Egypt and Ancient Rome. The Roman Empire used a different calendar than we do today, so AD 1 is equivalent to 754 AUC (ab urbe condita, or “from the founding of the city,” referring to Rome). This was the year of the consulship of Caesar and Paullus, two Roman civic leaders.
The Christian Kings of Europe
The Anglo-Saxon historian Bede, who was familiar with the work of Dionysius Exiguus, used Anno Domini dating in his Ecclesiastical History of the English People, which he completed in AD 731. In the History he also used the Latin phrase ante [...] incarnationis dominicae tempus anno sexagesimo ("in the sixtieth year before the time of the Lord's incarnation"), which is equivalent to the English "before Christ", to identify years before the first year of this era.
Both Dionysius and Bede regarded Anno Domini as beginning at the incarnation of Jesus Christ, but "the distinction between Incarnation and Nativity was not drawn until the late 9th century, when in some places the Incarnation epoch was identified with Christ's conception, i. e., the Annunciation on March 25" ("Annunciation style" dating).
On the continent of Europe, Anno Domini was introduced as the era of choice of the Carolingian Renaissance by the English cleric and scholar Alcuin in the late eighth century. Its endorsement by Emperor Charlemagne and his successors popularizing the use of the epoch and spreading it throughout the Carolingian Empire ultimately lies at the core of the system's prevalence.
Author’s Notes: This information shocked me. In my previous research into the Carolingian Dynasty, I found ties to the Knights Templars and the Bloodline of the Ancient Roman Emperors. The Carolingians are also tied to the bloodline of Jesus myth that secret societies are spreading. After learning this information that Charlemagne was the first King to implement the Anno Domini Calendar system throughout Europe, Christians all over the world should be celebrating this King and his dynasty. This also explains why secret societies are spreading rumors about the Dynasty.
According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, popes continued to date documents according to regnal years for some time, but usage of AD gradually became more common in Catholic countries from the 11th to the 14th centuries. In 1422, Portugal became the last Western European country to switch to the system begun by Dionysius. Eastern Orthodox countries only began to adopt AD instead of the Byzantine calendar in 1700 when Russia did so, with others adopting it in the 19th and 20th centuries.
God is Winning
The fact that the cabal / elite haven’t been able to replace the ‘Anno Domini’ calendar system that is used within the Gregorian calendar shows God’s plan is working. Through Jesus Christ and the faith of Christians God is slowly perfecting the world he intended to create from the beginning of time.
God’s enemies don’t use the Anno Domini calendar system. The followers of Judaism use the Hebrew Calendar, which uses Anno Mundi that doesn’t incorporate Jesus Christ into the year number. Their current year stands at 5784.
Freemasons also use a similar calendar system known as Anno Lucis, which also doesn’t incorporate the importance of the Messiah.
In these confusing times it’s always good to remind yourself that God is winning, despite the enormous worldly power of cabal. Christians with the help of the Holy Spirit are the true guardians of this Earth and the ‘Current Year of the world’ 2024 represents that.
If the cabal are trying to force World War 3 onto the world, the only way to stop it is to love they neighbor, the most important commandment of Jesus Christ. If you love your enemy, the need for war disappears.
Thank you for digging into this! I was aware that the Jews didn’t use the same calendar but not the Masons. You’ve shown that God’s plan is going exactly as He intended. When some refer to the massive power of the cabal, I remind them that God brought the entire universe into existence and any study of anything alive reveals each creature, including man, are universes within universes…the symbiotic relationships in all living things demonstrates all is planned and balanced! The Creator that can do this and the entire universe is not going to be defeated by the evil one! I still use AD and BC. It’s one small way to resist! Thank you and God bless you, Anon-fa-mous. 🙏🙏
