HJ, are you seriously suggesting that Napoleon and the Book of Revelation have something to do with understanding modern European history? That he was the first to 'takeover' Europe? The first to destroy pre-existing kingdoms? --MichaelTinkler

Thank you very much.
I look at all sources and the Book of Revelation speaks of 1000 year occurances. There are many things happening that are not easily explained by scientific method. In other words many more things happen, than people rationally can understand.

No. All of this is quite easily accessible to rational understanding. The book of Revelation in chapter 20 speaks of '''A''' 1000 years. One. Just one. The idea of 1000 year periods is an early Christian interpretation of the Book of Revelation in light of Psalm 90 ("For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night") in which the 6 days of creation plus the original day of rest (the 7th day) are compared to 7 millennia - and the idea is that the millennium of the book of Revelation will be the 7th, so that the transition between the 6th and the 7th will be the time of the antichrist. This was cross-referenced with the belief that the world was a fairly recent creation - that it was about 5500 years old when Christ was born, and therefore the year 6000 (the time of the antichrist) was coming SOON. Needless to say, it hasn't happened yet. I know a lot about this subject - it is my favorite kind of medieval exegesis. You, however, either have never known or have misremembered. My suggestion is that you drop it, or take a look at the work of Richard Landes (here's his web page: http://www.mille.org/people/rlpages/personlandes.html). --MichaelTinkler

To MichaelTinkler

I glanced through the headlines and see that people are making studies of this.



Before the year 2000 people thought it is the time , as they thought before the year 1000. In 1800 people thought that is it , in 1900 they thought this is it and before 2100 they will think it again.

It could have been and could be at any time , that is my thought.



Besides the 1000 year revelation Germans have a 100 year timeline, waiting for the time when Kaiser Barbarossa , emperor Frederik( combination of I and II) Red Beard wakes up from his long sleep in the Kyffhaueser mountain in Thuringia. He did wake up a while ago.

]

:HJ, yes, people 'thought this'. It could also mean that people fall for the same mistakes over and over again. It still doesn't make it 'what the book of Revelation says' - it only makes it a particularly useless interpretation thereof. --MichaelTinkler.

----------

Basically it seems to want to convey the message, that any time , any day, could be the day. So be on your toes, so to speak ,all the time.

]

:Well, no. What you're offering '''is''' the orthodox interpretation based on the words of Christ ('no one knows the hour but the Father'), which is the official doctrine of the Catholic Church, among others. However, what millennialist thought '''always''' does is claim:

#the end is coming soon

#WE (the associates of the prophet) know the date

#be very afraid

#(and sometimes) sell all you have and follow ME (the prophet)

:That is the pattern clearly discerned in history. See Landes, to whom I referred you, and Norman Cohn, ''The Pursuit of the Millennium''. These are accessible and in English. There is a large body of technical material on biblical interpretation both for itself (what you just did was an orthodox piece of biblical interpretation - 'the end may come any time so be prepared') and in history (what others have said, truly or erroneously). I do a lot of work with both types. Anytime someone says 1000 years, check your purse to make sure it's still there. --MichaelTinkler



----------------------------------------------------

Mrs. Jonat, please check ].

To szopen, I appreciate your enthusiasm and volumns of material and I would like to discuss, deliberate and point out the facts to you. However, in order to utilize the time I have available and in order to be able to continue my wikipedia input , I cannot get into extensive and detailed debates. I am restricted to occasional article input only without getting into lenghty debates. Best wishes H. Jonat

-------------------------

If so, then perhaps You should stop writing controversial and pseudohistorical articles about Poland, it's history, it's rulers and it's people. Always a friend,

Mruk

-------------------------

To szopen and Mruk

There is a Polish German Historical Institute in Warsaw . I suggest that you contact them with questions, the english language site is http://www.dhi.waw.pl/home_eng.html , also available in polish.

At that place you should be able to get first hand information.

Best wishes HJ

-------

"The German Historical Institute in Warsaw (GHI) was founded in 1993. Like the German Historical Institutes in Rome, Paris, London, and Washington the GHI in Warsaw is financed by the German Ministry of Education and Research". Now why would I consider this a first hand information? Always an admirer, Mruk

--------------

Because there you have many Polish historians working. Fellow wikipedian Piotr checked this out and seems to think they are alright. Since you are actually there, you might go and visit them. I don't even know if they will give anwers per internet. If you get a chance to visit them, please let me know.

Thanks HJ

--------------------

I'm not there since 1990. After my family has been "repatriated" we all ended up in various parts of the world. We started in the "Recovered Lands" Wroclaw, Legnica, Bystrzyca, Ladek Zdroj, Karpacz, Boleslawiec etc. But by now we are pretty much all over the world. Mruk

----------------

I remember you wrote to me about your family. But you don't write where you actually live now.

So I cannot refer you to sources other than the internet and whatever libraries and books you have available where you live. If you want to try finding family history records, you can search at the LDS FHC Latter Day Saints , Family History Center http://www.familysearch.com

for church and civil records of the towns you or your ancestors have lived.FHC have libraries with computers and micro fiche in many countries, listed on internet.

Family Historians are the opposite from other Historians. Family History is based on searching for any little clue available and not leaving any stone unturned in order to find your family records. I am searching for a person who remained in the homeland of Prussia despite all the greatest hardships put under during the Communist Polish and much worse Soviet Union time. Even though this person was born there and remained in the homeland,Germans under Poland were so far not allowed to get even their birth certificates.Your family knows about all this, but others don't or don't want to know. I get emails on my Family History website fromm all over the world too with people asking for any kind of clue. The verbal info is often the only thing available.

Good luck in your search HJ

----------

I'm in the States for some time, now.

I have always heard a lot about people who decided to stay in the formerly German regions of Poland. Some of them were the "autochtones" - Poles who always lived there, keeping the language and culture alive, some were the Germans who did not want to leave the homeland of their ancestors. I've never heard of a law against speaking German, but then again, maybe I'm too young, it does sound like something that could've happen in the 40's and 50's. As far as my memories, I always remember, that during my summer vacations in the "Recovered Lands" (where I have a lot of family), I heard German language all the time. Mostly from tourists, though. But I know that a lot of retired German citizens were moving to Warmia i Mazury region, even as early as the 70's. I've met some of them myself, actually, in the summer of 1989 in the city of Goldap (right on the Polish / Soviet border). Me and my buddy were hanging out in the park. We still had about two hours for our bus to arrive. We started talking to this group of older people, warming up their bones in the sun. We talked to those very nice people for about half an hour, and let me tell you, they were no tourists. Just a bunch of Goldapians enjoying their retirement. The shock came after we said Good Bye and started walking towards the bus station. These people just started speaking German! All this time they spoke to us in fluent, accent free Polish, but when alone, they seemed to prefer German. I'll write again, right now I'm at work, believe it or not, so I have to go. Wszystkiego dobrego! (All the best for you!) Mruk

----------

To Mruk , Milai ginnis kails

Goldap is very close to were my father was born in Pillkallen. Unfortunately Pillkallen wound up in the Oblast Kaliningrad section of northern East Prussia. A recent traveler just wrote me, that Pillkallen is almost all distroyed and much worse than the part taken over by the Polish.Over one million Germans did remain after the 1945-49 expulsions. They were called autochthones by the polish officials. From what I read a lot of people from Ukraine have moved in and Wolga- Germans are moving into the northern part of East Prussia.

The wikipedia does not want long discussions. Therefore it would be better if you send me an email ,to have some longer talk. I am debating too much already with people that do not have an inkling .So I better quit now. Greetings HJ.

---------------

No problem! However, I have no idea what "milai ginnis kails" means. Is it Lithuanian, or perhaps Old Prussian? Because German it rather is not. I'll write soon. Your friend from accross the Odra and Nysa Luzycka.

Mruk

----------

Old Prussian , milai= mille= a thousand, ginnis= friend , kails- hail =A thousand greetings to you friend.



-----

HJ, I have been ignoring your entries for the last 2 days. The Enea Silvio Piccolomini was beyond my self-control, though. You went into a '''long''' and substantive entry, made a link to someone's birth name, and then wrote an entry you yourself admitted was 'a summary'. It took one of the most important Renaissance intellectuals, a man who eventually became Pope, and mentioned that he was an imperial secretary and the archibishop of Warmia? Get a grip! --MichaelTinkler.





Here's a little lesson in wikification, HJ. Please hit 'edit this page' to see how this works. You consistently mess up this formatting trick. --MichaelTinkler



You wrote this nonsense phrase:

:as ] Elector of Saxony



When you meant (I think):

:as ] of Saxony



----

It atually doesn't matter -- what WE say in English is Duke of Saxony, because we know that the Golden Bull (from the Latin ''Bulla'' or seal) of 1356 defined the Duke of Saxony as one of the Imperial Electors. However, if we wanted to mention that he was an elector, we would say, "Imperial Elector and Duke of Saxony" or something to that effect -- but not Elector of Saxony, because that makes no sense in English! ]



:Ah, then it *should* be and Duke of ? --MichaelTinkler.

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Misplaced Pages's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
