809.0. "New Calendar?" by VAXRIO::JANSEN () Mon Oct 02 1995 13:35

    Hi,
    
    Did anybody hear about a new calendar system to be applied next year?
    
    I heard that some governments are evaluating the implementation of a
    new system were each year would start in a Sunday 1st, would have
    52 weeks of 7 days and a "null" day (to complete the 365 days for the
    year).
    
    If such a thing is true, the impact would be on the people who "rest" in
    a specific day of the week because the "real" day would float every
    year.
    
    Thanks for any information.
    
    Regards,
                                                                    
    Jansen Pinto.

809.1	A proposal older than anyone currently living	COVERT::COVERT	John R. Covert	`Mon Oct 02 1995 14:27`	5
	That has been proposed for years and years. There are no serious plans to implement it. /john

	I would have my birthday on a null day if this were to happen. John I

	Hmmm ... In revelation we're told that the beast will change the times and the seasons. Times and seasons have been changed a lot as it is, but the 7-day cycle never has. The French tried to change the week to a 10-day cycle after their bloody revolution, but it didn't stick, so Robespierre couldn't have been THE beast, though he was certainly A beast. ;-) TonyC

	� In Revelation we're told that the beast will change the times and � the seasons. Daniel 7:25 tells us that the antichrist will try to change the set times and laws. One presumes, unsuccessfully! The one who does this successfully gets a mention in Daniel 2:21! ;-) Not surprising he wants to change the times - every time we write the date, we get a reminder of abot how long it's been since Jesus walked the earth. It's even printed on our coinage... Russia tried a ten-day week too, which failed... Andrew
809.5	food for thought	OUTSRC::HEISER	watchman on the wall	`Tue Oct 03 1995 15:20`	8
	This is a case of where many get sidetracked by 1 factor. There are several factors that all have to come into play at once to determine who the beast is. BTW - Daniel gives enough information for the diligent to trace his family ancestors to Europe. Mike

	> BTW - Daniel gives enough information for the diligent to trace his > family ancestors to Europe. Well, that narrows it _right_ down ;') Hmm, my ancestors came from Europe, Nathan's been acting pretty wild recently... hmmmmmmm ;'}
809.7		OUTSRC::HEISER	watchman on the wall	`Wed Oct 04 1995 11:44`	1
	I've narrowed it down even further ;-)
