I can certainly verify the calendar statements ... its now 5762 in the Jewish calendar... but only 1423 in the Moslem. (Moslem year length is shorter than ours and the average Jewish year length - they run to 354-355 days, so its really less than 1423 years ago.) (Heck, even the current cycle of the Mayan calendar, doesn't go back as far as the Jewish ... Its only the year 5118 in the Mayan calendar from the start of the Great Circle number ..)

That land belongs to the Jews. Everything else is just jealousy and noise.

Additional calendar observations .. I cannot think of any other civilization that has had as long and continuous calendar without correction, other than the Jews. Patriarch Hilell (sp?) introduce the current Jewish calendar in the Jewish 4th century -- that's 5300 years ago. Their calendar has existed with no alterations since. No reforms; just the same calendar running like clockwork. Even the Chinese cannot make such a claim. They have had to reform their calendar, as I believe have the Hindus and of course ours (the Gregorian). But the current Gregorian calendar is only 1500 years old so it doesn't count in the longevity battle.

The Jews belong to a very old and noble civilzation.

So what exactly was the year ZERO in the Jewish calender ? Serious question btw ? Was that the year that the God's covenent with Abraham was made ?

I keep asking this of those with knowledge of the Jewish calendar, so I’ll ask you also: when is the next jubilee year?
