What Calendar System might we use in the New World

[nzbeeker]

As you know, the months of the year and days of the week are either named after greek gods or emperors or other... In the New World, what system might we go to?  Below are two videos, part one and two...  They are about 20 years old, but even so, are still very cool. I really enjoyed them and recommend taking some time to watch... His background is not one of a Spiritual nature... but if you look past that and focus on his logic (once you get past his worm up phase...) My brain very much works this way and I like the idea of his new calendar and the way it works. In a world removed from this commercial system, this would be fantastic:
 

Part One: 

Part Two:

The system we use now works just as okay. So why would it change in the new world?

Given the time of your reply and the time of my post... you haven’t watched five minutes of the video 😉

Recommend taking the time to watch.

Just the fact that they are named after greek gods and such suggests it might change, but the part I am interested in is in the math for the reasoning of the new calendar... Part two gets into it well, but recommend watching part one as the build up to his reasoning. 😊

My brother, it makes us feel so good to think about how our life will be in the new world.  And also, as a person who studies mathematics and physics, I’m glad when people get interested in it, the subject most people feel bored of.

 

I already have seen many documentation and videos that deals with such alternative types of calendars. If you look up on YouTube, you will see a lot of these. Mathematician Matt Parker’s version (while not exactly a calendar,) was the one that intrigued me the most, where he solves the problem with the “leap years.” It seems the calendar he proposes in the video is a variation of “International Fixed Calendar,” using day zero instead of extra day. What is probably the most famous of such “alternative calendars” other than this would be the “World Calendar.” (If you are interested, I suggest you to take a look at it.)

 

 

 

However, I do not agree what is said in the video mostly. You see, the problems with all these alternative calendars are just that. If you have a thing that works okay, you do not need to fix it. You can’t have a perfect calendar anyway. The rotation of the Earth is irregular, so a calendar, if it tries to follow it, it has to become irregular. There are some things he says in the video that are incorrect also. He shows you how the number and its shape are connected by the number of angles in it. This is a wide spread myth in the amateur mathematics community. There are no evidence historically to say that the number of the angels were the origin of the Indo-Arabic numbers. In the flood of information, we need to absorb true information only.

 

And then, he says that the calendars do not math up with nature, saying that there’s no reason for it to start on January 1st, and so on. Well, yes. Clearly, calendars are man-made. Because we are man, a calendar is to be used by man, not for the nature. And it was socially agreed upon that we start on that day. Why do we start our theocratic year on September? My answer would be: “Really, why is that important?” Probably no. Because people would have been asking same question if it was any other day. It has to start on some day anyway. We need a set, fixed calendar. The current one does its job.

 

The fact that it uses 13 x 28 = 364 is clever. But really, this is not without problem. By doing that, it will be impossible to divide a year into half or four quarters. (Q1, Q2, …) And it is inconsistent, also. There are no year zero, but we have day zero? And the biggest problem would be that, like I said, many people are already well used to the Gregorian calendar. It simply will be too much effort to change calendar for a gain of such small thing.

 

So yes, that is why I believe even in the new world, the Gregorian system will most likely persist. It just works okay. If you try to fix a car that runs good, you might end up damaging it more than you start with. No reason to visit a doctor when you are okay.

 

 

 

The similar about Greek god’s name. If a brother who has a name based on false gods, they don’t necessarily need to change their name, neither now or in the new world. Because we don’t associate them with false religion. I’m not participating in worshipping that god when calling that brother, and probably no one thinks of false god when calling that brother. It’s same with the month names. No one thinks the Greek god when saying “January.” And the month January has nothing to do with the false worship per se. It is just a particular duration that exists within a year. So I don’t think this becomes any reason it needs to go. (Not that it will not.)

 

For example, in our literature, we explain that while wedding anniversaries may have originated from pagan root, the anniversary now does not have any such nature in itself, and it is upbuilding for two couple to celebrate their wedding, also. So, there is no problem with wedding anniversary, even if it may have had pagan origin. The month names, and the names of certain people’s name, may have had pagan origin, but no one will care if they won’t.

 

Another example, the faithful Israelites also used the calendar’s name which contained the false god’s name. The Tammuz month is the tenth month of Hebrew calendar. We do not see any record that they were disturbed by it, but yet Bible writers, and prophets, mostly just used it as any others. By not associating it with false religion, and accepting that it is simply a name assigned to a specific month, it was okay.

 

 

 

But, I mentioned above, “Not that it will not.” Really, who is to say any condition about the new world? I probably don’t know any better. If we do stop using month names, it would most simply likely be Month 1, Month 2, as it is used already in the Asian countries. In China and Japan, they already do not have names for the months, but instead simply number each months. So this is one thing. Like I mentioned above, the month system itself will most likely persist. But if it ever does, it probably would be in a variation of fixed calendars.

 

If we start counting years from the Christ reign, (just as one would number years from a King’s reign, e.g. n-th year of the King ____.) Since the year 1914 would have been the year 1, (Remember—no year zero.) that puts 2014 at the year 101, and so 2019 at the year 106.

I'd like to have seven Saturdays or Sundays in a week in a new calendar...

 

Any would work as long as it doesn't mean I don't have to go to work.

[New World Explorer]

I wouldn't mind total reset, and starting year 1 after Armageddon, year 2 , year 3 .... etc.

Monday to Friday (as a work designated days are based on satanic system and economic pressure created by him)

I think New Scrolls possibly will "touch" on time, calendar issues.

Yes you can ...goes like that  Friday, Saturday, Sunday ..Friday, Saturday, Sunday ..repeat. LOL
 

[tuntun]

I think we can use numbers without words at all. for example, the 5th month of year 2200. But that seems rather dull. 

[Ahuvah]

The way time was measured in the scriptures is not how it's measured now ... The Gregorian Calender came in the Roman Times ... prior to that things were very different and still is today for some cultures.

 

So yes, I can see a very definite change, from names to even a different system - but all for the better and all to fit into Jehovah's purpose. Time will tell though as it always does.

Forgive me Dave, I'm not a mathematical person really ... so while your vids are interesting ... my mind drowns in something like that.

Also, forgive me Brother Minwoo ... if I've repeated what was in your post - too long for me at the moment.

Time is abstract, and was created to stop everything from happening at once. A calendar differentiates between one point in time and another. Jehovah said all things should take place orderly and by arrangement. He put in a Luna cycle, a natural biorhythm in the human body... both work in harmony and was the way of things in Bible times until the crazy Romans got involved.  I can see us going back to the Luna cycle because it worked well and is always there. Natural biorhythms, both human and other, all work in harmony with this. I so desperately want another life... just want it to happen. 

[Dages]

Yes, the Torah and how Jehovah organized his people back then makes me think that it will be similar in the new world...

I wont need a Sunday,  Monday, Tuesday... I will need only one day of the week called "Tomorrow". 

 

I'll get to it...."tomorrow"...

also we might be going back to a pre flood atmosphere where it doesn't rain so who knows if we will have seasons

We have discussed that very thoroughly and there are a lot of interesting viewpoints and comments about the pre-flood conditions. You should take some time to read the discussions, I'm sure you will find them interesting.

Will we have round tuits in the new system?

Stock up now in case!

In order to have a perfect calendar we should consider the possibility of adjusting the speed of the earths rotation both on its axis and around the sun.
