hi, foolishmortal, I corroborate what that one person said, this is a minor apostasy, and a minor tribulation is imminent. Afterward, Christians will reunite to Rome, and there will be the fullness of the Gentiles, a great age in which Jesus' love reigns in almost all Gentiles.
Then, at some indeterminate time, perhaps in a couple generations, or in a thousand years, or somewhere in between, the world will apostatize again, only that time will be the very end, when the Antichrist will come, the Jews will convert, and Christ will return.
See the End Times Thread in this forum., the Back Fence. It has five stars.
Also, see my section in endtimes, where I analyze all salvation history through Scripture and Tradition.
