Do We Need a New Global Calendar?

The book of Daniel tells us quite a few things that humans can expect to see before the Lord returns to sit on His throne in Jerusalem.

Daniel was given a vision of the Antichrist and some of what he would do in the short time he will have on this earth before Christ returns to destroy him.

Daniel 7
25 He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.

Hmmmmm.....could it be that the Antichrist (and the world who is following him) will make a case to get a new calendar and "try to change the set times"?

If so, we may expect to see some foreshadowing of how this might play out.  The world needs to be prepared for a lot of what WILL HAPPEN after the rapture of the church...because it all needs to happen VERY fast.

Today we find an article in BBC that talks about setting up a new calendar;

If Richard Henry had his way, we wouldn’t be celebrating the New Year quite yet. The Johns Hopkins University physics and astronomy professor along with his colleague Steve Hanke, an economics professor, have come up with a calendar they believe would simplify scheduling and accountancy once and for all.

In the Hanke-Henry Permanent Calendar, every date would fall on the same day of the week every year. The pair want their calendar adopted worldwide by January 1, 2017 — the next time that New Year’s Day falls on a Sunday. Their goal is to do away with scheduling problems and financial reporting errors that result from using a calendar system, where quarters and months are different lengths and dates jump to a different day every year.

In their proposed calendar, two 30-day months are followed by one 31-day month with an extra week called Xtr added on every five or six years to account for seasonal drift.
Avoiding ‘calendar confusion’

The pair say their calendar improves upon previous efforts because it preserves the 12 month, seven-day week idea, while eliminating what they call “calendar confusion.”

Because the days don’t jump around from year to year in their version, scheduling for things like holidays, sporting events and university start dates would only need to be planned once and then never changed. Christmas, for example, would always be on a Sunday.

Calculations would also be easier, they claim. Bond, mortgage and other interest rate calculations are often based on a 30-day month, which Hanke said leads to tricky sums and errors with months that have 28 or 31 days.

“Our calendar solves that problem” because it would do away with the need for day count conventions all together, Hanke said.
