Jesus was born 7 years before year 1 started according to his birth. Year 2008 will actually be year 2001....We will be into the 3rd day and the Bible says the Lord will come in the 3rd day.

The Ethiopian calendar (Amharic: á¨á¢áµá®áµá« ááá á áá£á á ye'ĪtyÅá¹á¹yÄ zemen Äḳoá¹aá¹er), also called the Ge'ez calendar, is the principal calendar used in Ethiopia and is also the liturgical year of Christians in Eritrea belonging to the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church, Eastern Catholic Church of Eritrea and Lutheran (Evangelical Church of Eritrea), where it is commonly known as the Ge'ez calendar. It is based on the older Alexandrian or Coptic calendar, which is based on the even older Egyptian calendar, but like the Julian calendar, it adds a leap day every four years without exception, and begins the year on August 29 or August 30 in the Julian calendar. The seven to eight year gap between the Ethiopian and Gregorian calendars results from alternate calculations in determining the date of the Annunciation of Jesus.
