Last time I raised this subject, the Anglican Church was just discussing it. Now, the Patriarch of Rome signed the contract uniting them, making Anglicans Roman Catholic if they choose to be.
Again I ask you Baptists and Pentecostal, when the Roman Catholic Church, and Orthodox Churches comes knocking on your door, WHAT SAY YE?? Pentecostals, keep in mind that your Presiding Prelates, if apart of the Joint College of African American Pentecostal Bishops, is already in good standings with the Roman Pontiff after a visit to Rome a few years ago.....
-Would you consider uniting your Church with Rome in Communion with your Church?
-If yes, why?
-If yes, what requirements from Rome would you require?
-If no, why not?
-Would you consider uniting the Church your Church with the Orthodox Churches in Communion with your Church?
-If yes, why?
-If yes, what requirements from the Orthodox Churches would you require?
-If no, why not?
Well, I have got up this morning to discover that we have a new European Emperor, and it is not the secular, third way, totalitarianistic ex leader of UK, Tony Blair.
No, our new Emperor, the first President of Europe is Herman Van Rompuy, Belgian Prime Minister.
I was genuinely pleasantly surprised to read some of the past statements (2004) from our new European Emperor (The first for 500 years)
“Turkey is not a part of Europe and will never be part of Europe,”
“An expansion of the EU to include Turkey cannot be considered as just another expansion as in the past. The universal values which are in force in Europe, and which are also fundamental values of Christianity, will lose vigour with the entry of a large Islamic country such as Turkey,”
It also transpires that he is a devout Roman Catholic.
So now have a devout Roman Catholic Christian leading a secular European Empire!!!
Gosh, this is going to be more interesting than I first thought.
The revived Roman Empire. Now all we need is Martial Law in America, The Jews to reinstate animal sacrifice, and the Pope to come live in 3rd temple that the Jews build. That is the beginning of the Tribulation. Not a 7 year tribulation either. It will be 3 1/2 years.
Martial law because they are going to shrink the middle class even more until it is a small group of people. There will be a very large population of poor people, and they will riot because of their numbers, and the government is anticipating this rebellion.
Another interesting comment was the rebuild of the 3rd Temple, what I find interesting is that a lot of Orthodox Jews believe that the Temple will come down out of Heaven.
That is the Kingdom of the Father. Jesus' kingdom will be established on the Earth. Jesus will take over the Earth from man, and establish his Kingdom, and rule for 1000 years, then will be the White throne Judgement during that 1000 year rein, and then will the Father bring down his kingdom from Heaven. The Jews don't believe Jesus is the Messiah, that's why they go straight to the Father's Kingdom coming down out of Heaven. That actually also let's us know that we are not going to heaven.
