      When I decided that it would be interesting to see what kind of sites I would find dealing with the millennium I had no idea what I was getting into. There is everything from dealing with the Y2K problem, to how to survive the Rapture, to how to have fun celebrating the new Millennium. It has been fascinating and I must tell you now that I included a little of everything whether I believe in it or not. It is not for me to tell anyone what to believe but to present the information for them to make their own decisions. I hope you have as much fun with them as I have.

"Years of the Gregorian calendar, which is currently in use today, are counted from AD 1. Thus, the 1st century comprised the years AD 1 through AD 100. The second century began with AD 101 and continued through AD 200. By extrapolation we find that the 20th century comprises the years AD 1901-2000. Therefore, the 21st century will begin with 1 January 2001 and continue through 31 December 2100. Similarly, the 1st millennium comprised the years AD 11000. The 2nd millennium comprises the years AD 10012000. The 3rd millennium will begin with AD 2001 and continue through AD 3000."
