The Wedding Feast of the Lamb

The Bridegroom comes to unite the Bride through a Celestial Event... On Easter Sunday!! ?

The Reopening of St. Sophia In Constantinople - The Festival of Festivals

"Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints" (Revelation, Ch 19:7-8)

"And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they who are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb"(Revelation, Ch 17:9)"

"Poor ones! Raise the name of the Lord your God, sing to the great king of the ages, give Him glory, oh come, come, pious race: also you, the inventors of the distorted heresies, come and join your own hymns to the Lord, for, He is benevolent, for, His mercy lives through the ages. Amen, And lo, a huge crowd of a heavenly army brought the great dragon and tied him up with terrible ties and threw him in the Tartarus of the furnace of fire." - Agathanghelos

6Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:

"Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.

7Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory!

For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.

8Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear."

9Then the angel said to me, "Write: `Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!' " And he added, "These are the true words of God."


More Prophecies on the 8th Ecumenical Council,
the Great Monarch and the Great Bishop
As mentioned in an earlier section, many Catholic prophecies speak of a return to the True Catholic Faith. Many Eastern Orthodox prophecies speak of a return to the True Orthodox Faith. Are the prophecies of either faith incorrect? Of course not! While there will be concessions made on all sides in returning to a unified Church based on Apostolic Traditions, I believe that the Catholic and Orthodox prophecies speak of �a one, unified catholic and apostolic church� that is different that the present state of the Roman Church today, but its teachings and liturgies will parallel that of the Eastern Church. Protestantism will disappear. The hindrance of all sides for unification will be the infallibility doctrine of the Pope. After this doctrine is removed, the major obstruction for reunification will no longer exist, and all sides will sit down to iron out their differences.

I can perhaps see the unification of the Roman Catholic Church with the Eastern Orthodox Churches, but I do not forsee that "Protestantism will disappear". What is your justification for that belief.

What is your justification for that belief.

Based on a scriputural context:
The "two" may not "unite", but one is hiddenly subservant to the other.

As long as the Protestant churches in America and elsewhere continue to 'observe' Sunday as the Lord's Day of rest and continue to not observe what God had set forth for mankind to observe.....the Protestant churches will fall under the authority of Rome and the Papacy: The Roman Catholic Church. They, in turn, "recognize" the authority of the Papacy.

The Papacy claims that the change of the law in which she thought to transfer the solemnity of the seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) over to Sunday is the mark of her power and authority. The Papacy put aside God's sign/mark and put up her own, and claims the act of changing the Sabbath as a mark, or proof, of her power. Note the following from a recognized Catholic authority:

"Q. -Have you any other way of proving that the church has power to institute festivals of precept?"

"A.-Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her;-she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority" (A Doctrinal Catechism, (3rdAmer. ed., rev.). Stephen Keenan, p. 174).

From the office of Cardinal Gibbons, through Chancellor C. F. Thomas, came this statement: "Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act. . and the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things" (italics supplied). Thus God's sign, or mark, or symbol, or flag, was pulled down and the Sunday institution was raised in its place; and the act was set forth as a proof and mark of papal power by the papacy itself.

Exodus 31:16-17- "Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested, and was refreshed."

Revelation 14:12- "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

I fail to see how the Protestant churches "fall under the authority of Rome and the Papacy" just because they "observe" Sunday as the Lord's day of rest. Perhaps you have been reading too much SDA (Seventh Day Adventist) literature. I would contend that there is much more than determinig which day of the week you worship in "falling under Papal Authority".

At the time of the Apostles there was one Christian body.....one Christian church ....
The Sabbath is observed in the Orthodox church as being the old testament day of the Lord......there is Church on Saturday....(Sabbato ..in Greek which means Sabbath..)
Christianity has the day Sunday (greek kiriaki....which means the Lord's day ...and not some SUN-GOD as many people think it does...)Which is the day of the Lord Jesus Christ's day of resurrection....the new day of the new testament.....
just as circumcision was the old and replaced with babtism....
Babtism is a form of dying and being born again into the life of Jesus Christ......"Go therefore and make disciples ... baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit ..." We cannot ignore this command, for Jesus also told us "to observe all things that I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:18-20).

This prophecy is true concerning the One Church of Christianity being once again as was pre 1054 ......for one thousand years there was one Christian church......there was no Pope or ruler above any one else.......all had the same authority........which once again will be......
The papacy will fall....there will be no more Pope.....
When this happens, it wont be long before the world comes to an end.....

Christ won't be the good guy you're expecting, just another puppet.
