  The third millennium starts on January 1 of the year 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Likewise the first millennium ends at the end of the 1000th year, and the second millennium at the end of the 2000th year after the chosen origin.
Thus if the third millennium and the 21st century are deemed meaningful concepts, then the notion of the nth year must be a meaningful concept as well.
As the proponents of starting the 3rd millennium in the year 2000 must reject that notion, the only consistent thing for them to do is to take issue with Cassini's naming convention, and insist that the current year should be called 1998 instead of 1999, given that it is the 1999th year.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : The Third Millennium
When we think of the "coming" Third Millennium, I suppose, we cannot help but recall the apocalyptic overtones that were associated with the coming of the Year One Thousand, let alone those at the coming of Christ Himself, at "the fullness of time", the Year Zero, when the whole world was at peace.

 THird Millennium
The 2nd millennium, which gave birth to innumerable dualisms, is about to give way to the 3rd, but the dualism of the waning age remains strong.

 The Big Lie Of The Third Millennium
Yes, the third millennium is still almost "brand new" and the big lie has already been deceitfully woven and its deceptive pattern pieces have turned up in far off places.
Now for the lie itself: The big lie of the third millennium is the misguided statement and/or insinuation that anyone who stands for God's definition of righteousness and Holiness is an extremist.
In other words, what they are saying is that abomination and rebellion against God are the normal and desirable attributes of a third millennium society and that holiness and righteousness have no place (except maybe in some extreme, silent far corner) in that society.

 Math Forum - Ask Dr. Math   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The word "millennium" simply means any period of 1000 years, though it's natural for us humans to want to start some millennium at a known point in history and keep dividing the eons into consecutive millennia thereafter.
Therefore, if we're going to talk about a "true" millennium, we should probably fix some important event in the past and count forward 1000 and 2000 years.
In short, since the historical/calendric situation is so messy, I believe that we should measure the millennium by noticing when the big party is, and Prince doesn't party like it's 2000.
