There is some evidence which could like the GM to the UK. As I said, I'm open to it although on a personal level I'm not "wedded" to the idea of...
The UK idea was not mine but Macadamia's, I should note. I'm intrigued to hear why he/she thinks it is the UK - England is afforded some...
The idea of it being led by another Nero is not, in point of fact, at odds with it first being led by a Constantine. Both were Roman Emperors and...
Thanks! I've been busy bit I just noticed your PM to me and will get back to you. Much to discuss.
Some slight corrections to your chronology of the EU, if I may. The EU has an unwritten constitution codified in two international treaties: The...

I hadn't thought of that name, thank you! Lazarus is a given name and surname. It is derived from the Hebrew אלעזר, Elʿāzār (Eleazar) meaning...
The "Henry" name idea, which I've looked into a bit, seems to have arisen from prophecies attributed to Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich but as far...
Yes, I think that's a very good point. St. Bonaventure and Ven. Holzhauser both came up with 7 ages of the Church, from Pentecost till the...
Just to point out something with regards to Ven. Holzhauser and the GM: in his Commentary on the Apocalypse he makes an interesting reference to...

I will post it tomorrow. I did actually quote a portion from one of her letters in respect of the GM earlier in the thread. She refers to him as...
Excellent stuff!
That's a good question, I would probably recommend reading some of her letters first. I will post the bulk of some of the relevant ones on this...
I haven't seen the Wikipedia page but if the source is given as her Book of Divine Works, then I would say that it should be accurate. Books I,...
Hi again Dolours, you're welcome! St. Hildegard's primary books dealing with apocalyptic and prophetic themes are The Scivias and her subsequent...
Unfortunately the Hildegard quote is yet another example of garbled transmission on the internet. I'm unaware of her ever referring to a "great...

Thank you Praetorian for your kind words! Yes that's the problem with the internet: its the most incredible reservoir of free information in the...
Fascinating reading, many thanks Carol!
I think both interpretations are perfectly valid. Yours applies it to everyday life, more immediately, whereas St. Bonaventure and other exegetes...
Yes indeed, that is all any of us can do. I enjoy reading your interpretations. Keep them coming! :D
Thank you!
