scrolb14.gif (1380 bytes) Background history behind the discovery of a Y2K correlation with words 2000 in the Old Testament and New Testament Lexicons

On 12/14/97, I read a write-up on what has been called the millennial bug in which many computers have been found to lock up when their clocks turn over to the year 2000. Besides not being able to distinguish between 2000 or 1900, 1800 etc, some computers have been programed such that when they see "9999" in the date position, they are to perform some function completely unrelated to a date.

Now that the governments and industries of the world are finally realizing what a dilemma this seemingly trivial software and hardware problem actually presents for their integrated computer networks, it is too late for them to make sufficient remedy in time for the year 2,000 and even for several years beyond. There are not enough computer programers, not enough resources to replace the affected hardware and software.

People have procrastinated acting on this problem, supposed that the best minds of the world could come up with a simple solution in time (no pun intended). The question is not whether or not this will present a global crisis, but just how severe that crisis will be. Even small segments being shut down can cripple the entire economy. What will happen when major blocks of the global network experience failures?

After reading this well-documented article, "Computer Crashes May Cause Chaos," by David M. Price (Vision #26, Oct. 1997), I decided to pull out my Old Testament Hebrew and New Testament Greek lexicons to read the entries for word # 2000 in Hebrew and Greek. What parallels might they have in relation to this particular phenomenon?

Schopenhauer
All truth passes through three stages:
   First, it is ridiculed;
   Second, it is violently opposed; and
   Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

-- Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
