1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. No, if the seventh age begins with the coming of the antichrist, or even the antichrist system (v2 antichurch/antipopes) which is the first woe, it simply means that the GM/AP weren’t in the sixth age, which further solidifies the idea that the sixth age was from 1929-1958.
4. despite answering no to the previous question, yes.
5. Yes, I was just speculating in my previous reply.
Okay. So let's just focus on the issues that you don't agree with in #3. I will restate what I said:
3. If you answer yes to #2, do you agree to the following: IF Ven. Holzhauser identified the "angels" discussed in Apocalypse, chapter 10 with the arrival of Great Monarch/Angelic Pope, THEN we should use the event sequence in the Apocalypse to determine WHEN "the sixth age of the Church" falls in relation to other events discussed in the Apocalypse?
And here is what you replied to that:
3. No, if the seventh age begins with the coming of the antichrist, or even the antichrist system (v2 antichurch/antipopes) which is the first woe, it simply means that the GM/AP weren’t in the sixth age, which further solidifies the idea that the sixth age was from 1929-1958.
Holzhauser said that the seventh age begins the "coming of the Antichrist." Yes, I agree with that, with a few caveats.
The "coming of the Antichrist" means, for Holzhauser, that the Antichrist is finally "revealed" [see 2Thess2:7-8]. This "revelation" happens at the same time the GM/AP come on the scene. In fact, the GM/AP are the instruments of that "revelation" of the Antichrist. Holzhauser seems to agree with this because he places the appearance of the GM/AP right where I would expect them to show up, in Apocalypse 10, which is like the watershed moment of the end times.
But prior to the "outing" of Antichrist, he was alive and well. He was doing the same job that he will be doing after he is "revealed." Up until his "revelation" he has been "the mystery of iniquity [that] already worketh." He has been deceiving everyone who has been following him. That is his
modus operandi: deception. This is from St. Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2, not from me. Please read it again. Holzhauser is not contradicting St. Paul.
Holzhauser is not mentioning Antichrist in the Fifth Age because Antichrist is still hidden
qua Antichrist, but he is still "working." This is the period of the "wars" of the Fifth Age. These are the "wars" inside the Roman Catholic Church since Vatican II. The hidden Antichrist is an antipope, the "not canonically-elected" destroyer of the St. Francis of Assisi prophecy. His name is Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Bergoglio and all of his heresies and synodalities are the culmination of the Fifth Age.
Bergoglio is about to be supernaturally "revealed" by the instruments of God (the GM/AP) as the Antichrist. This will happen very soon. But before that "revelation," most of the world is deceived into thinking Bergoglio is actually the leader (the Pope) of the Roman Catholic Church. Almost no one questions this. Even most "trads." But after the supernatural "revelation," everyone will know who Bergoglio really is.
So Holzhauser is calling the Seventh Age "the age of Antichrist" because it is when the Antichrist and his Ten Horns finally
complete their demolition of the false church and set up the new religion of Freemasonic humanism, aka the Synodal Church.
Before that happens, however, the very short Sixth Age starts with the supernatural Warning and the "respite," the very short time of peace when the world digests what they experienced during the Warning. This short time will be peaceful and the Faith will flourish. It will be a period when billions of people are open to the True Faith because they were just stunned by the supernatural Warning and the teachings of the Angelic Pope. It will be like a near-death experience for these people. They will seek to know the Truth.
But after a few months (or less), the Antichrist and Ten Horns machine will reboot. They and the world-wide media machine will answer all of the questions about the Warning. They will claim that it was not supernatural. They will use the media to convince those who initially converted that it was all just chemicals in their brains caused by fear, that it wasn't God at all. They will tell them it is okay to go back to their sinful lives, and most will choose to do so. Only a few will persevere until the end because of the heroic efforts of some Christians (symbolized by the Two Witnesses). The media and "the science" will be used like they were during Covid. All of this will happen in the next handful of years.
So, what I have explained above, fits perfectly into the three "woe" sequence in the Apocalypse that we were discussing.
First woe, the hidden Antichrist/Antipope is working and destroying the Church for years.
Second woe, the Antipope is revealed to be the Antichrist and a short peace of no more than a few months occurs and the "Two Witnesses" then try to retain as many converts as possible before the remaining few years is up.
Third woe, when the mission of the Two Witnesses ends, all sinners who did not convert are destroyed very quickly.
God will then supernaturally transform the world into the New Heaven and New Earth, which will only be inhabited by the saints. That is the big picture sequence of St. John's Apocalypse. The geo-political events that will occur are tactical deceptions/orchestrations used by the Antichristian, Freemasonic forces to distract everyone from what is truly at stake, which is their eternal salvation. The Antichrist will try to convince everyone that we must have world peace and the only way to attain that is to reject religious exclusivity and tolerate sin.
Sorry to be so long winded. But I wanted to explain the full narrative rather than me confusing you with piecemeal comments.
