3nd Thousand - September 2019 Dear Reader, You have in your hands an original book that was written after a long and painstaking effort of research on behalf of the author on a subject which has never been tackled before of the Marble Emperor of the Byzantium Saint Ioannis Vatatzis. Since, the Fall of Constaninople by The Ottoman Turks for hundreds of years it was believed that the Marble King was the last Emperor of The Byzantium the Constantinos Palaiologos! But for the first time, after extensive research, Mr. Georgios Valavanis proves to the World that it is Saint Ioannis Vatatzis who is the six-toed Marble Emperor about whom 14 Prophets have shown that certain events will take place dur- ing the coming of the 3rd World war! It is a book which should not be read lightly and which I believe is a gift from the Lord, for upon reading it one shall recognize the events we are wit- nessing today. All the 14 Prophecies bear witness to what we are about to en- counter and thanks to the author Mr. George Valavanis, who has opened our minds to the truth. On my behalf I would like to thank Mr. Georgios Valavanis for entrusting the English translation of his monumental book, which I undertook with great pleasure. Throughout the translation I was astounded at what I read. I do not know if the result is worthy of the book but it is an exact translation of the au- thor’s written word, whose intensive research and undying dedication for the six-toed emperor have given us the knowledge to believe in his existence. I would also like to thank my Greek-American wife Lily Athanasiou who as- sisted me in the translation of the book and who did most of the proof-read- ing. Sincerely, John Lamprogiannis English as A Second Language Teacher Tranlator, Author CPE - TEFL University of Michigan Mob.: +30 698 5978389 - E-mail: [email protected] SAINT IOANNIS DOUKAS VATATZIS SAINT IOANNIS DOUKAS VATATZIS was born in 1193 in the his- toric Castle of Thrace, Didimoticho. He came from a family that was close to the royal senate, since his grandfather Konstantinos, Vatatzis, was Army Master of King Emmanuel Komnenos. The memory of St. Ioannis Vatatzis the Merciful is celebrated and honoured in Byzantine Didymoteicho on No- vember 4th. The portable icon of the Saint, on which his Apolytikion is written, is treasured by the people: There is also the Sacred church service of the Saint and the Solicitation prayer, and his name is mentioned in the Sacred Holy Book of Saints. Apolitikion "To the brilliant King and the great boast of the faithful and the power of the nymphs, Ioannis we honor his memory, in hymns and spiritual odes, in accordance we recite" Glory be honoured to you, glory to the crown, glory to those acting on your behalf and performing acts of re- cuperation” This book is a book of prophecies of the Holy Fathers of the Or- thodox Church. It is useful to those who want to know what will happen in the future.To know the facts that are about to take place in the future. We have researched many different prophetic and historical books to inform the world about the Holy Emperor Ioannis Vatatzis, who until now was unknown. We were the first to write about Ioan- nis Vatatzis. Before us, no one had written anything about Him… - 3- The Holy Altar of Hagia Sophia! The Venetians, admired the precious and famous Holy Altar of Hagia Sophia, precious and beautiful, they took it out of the tem- ple and put it on a boat and as they set sail and set out for Venice behold the miracle! Near the island of Marmaras, the ship was cut in half and the Holy Altar fell into the sea and sank and is still there to this day, and this is obvious and everyone testifies to this, because when this area becomes stormy, rough and the sea creates huge and gigantic waves, the place in wihich the Holy Altar is positioned in the sea remains peaceful and undisturbed. This book, is the first book that refers to the Merciful, who was unknown to everyone, first published in 2005. - 4- Currency at the Emperor's Time 1222-1254 of Byzantium Ioannis Vatatzis which shows on one side Ioannis being crowned by the Virgin Mary and on the other the figure of Christ.

Within thirteen years, there have been 34 refined and augmented new publications, which have been printed in four languages (Greek 27 editions, English 3 editions, German 1 edition and Russian 3 editions). Many of the 26.000 Greek books that have been printed have been distributed to believers who have asked for them from various parts of the world: from the Monastery of Ephraim in Arizona, USA to Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Cyprus, Greece, Mexico and Germany, be- cause they are concerned about the global events that are about to happen. In addition, thousands of Internet users read the online version of the book on our website. - 9- To date, 620.715 views have been recorded from 109 countries. Most readers of the printed book and e-publishing ver- sion, amongst them reputable scientists and scholars, have expressed positive comments about the magnitude of the research that has led to the assembling for the first time of a book of 14 prophecies by prophets who speak of the 3rd World War, about the the Marble Emperor of Byzantium St. Ioannis Vatatzis. It is revealed for the first time. This particular Emperor and Saint of our Church unfor- tunately has been ignored by most believers, even though his life in the Holy Book of Saints is mentioned, as is the Sacred Service written by St. Nicodemus the Athonite and the Book of Prayers, and our church celebrates his mem- ory on 4 November. (An exception is Metropolitan Dam- ascene, who inaugurated a Holy Church in memory of Saint Ioannis at Didymoteicho, whose inauguration took place on November 4, 2010). The book was recognized by simple laymen, reputable Byzantinists, historians and theologians. Rare material and written prophecies have begun to be verified - unfortu- nately - by the events of the last few years. In every new version the book is enriched with new elements. - 10 - The Inaugural Opening of the Holy Church of St. Ioannis Vatatzis and then Vespers of the Eminence of the Metropo- lite of Didymoteicho, Orestiados and Soufliou, Mr. Damask- inos. Constantine was the beginning and Constantine lost the dawn of the Byzantium. The world knows nothing about the Holy Emperor Ioan- nis Vatatzis and thinks that the Marble Emperor who will arise is the last Emperor of the Byzantium, Constantine Palaiologos. This is what the folk tradition says. In fact, however, the book does not mentior the folk tra- dition. Here, are 14 holy prophets who prophesied about the future of the world: They prophesied about the SIX-TOED EMPEROR Saint Ioannis Vatatzis and of the upcoming world events that will shock mankind. - 11 - PROLOGUE (Saint Ioannis Vatatzis the Six-toed, emperor of the Byzantium, the Great Merciful One). For at least three decades, I have shared with other Pa- triots and Christians my anxiety about a possible Third World War and the testing of Hellenism and humanity in general. Through legends and folk traditions. These leg- ends spoke of the "marbled king," who is a stranger and has left work unfinished, which, with the help of God, will be arisen to complete it. But who is this "marbled Em- peror"? What is his role, and how does he relate to what is going on in the wider region? In search of the identity of this person, who is related as I mentioned to the shocking upcoming events for Hel- lenism, I was consumed by a struggle to gather all the prophecies referring to the Savior Emperor.

    INTRODUCTION the Capture of Constantinople by the Armies of the Fourth Crusade in 1204 Fragmented the Byzantine Empire. Territor

    INTRODUCTION The capture of Constantinople by the armies of the Fourth Crusade in 1204 fragmented the Byzantine empire. Territories which did not submit to the Crusaders fell into the hands of Byzantine magnates who became rulers of numerous small political entities. The most important of these newly founded states, which each claimed to be the successor of the destroyed Byzantine empire, were the empires of Trebizond and Nicaea in Asia Minor and the principality of Epiros in the Balkans.1 The so-called empire of Nicaea, which was established as a viable state by Theodore I Laskaris (1204–1221), was the most suc- cessful of these. Laskaris averted the threat of a combined attack from the Latin empire of Constantinople and the Seljuks of Rum and over- came various local lords who, in the wake of the collapse of Byzantium, had established their own independent authorities in Asia Minor. His successors, John III Vatatzes (1221–1254) and Theodore II Laskaris (1254–1258), conquered large territories in the Balkans. They forced the rulers of Epiros to abandon their claim to the imperial title and reduced the military strength of the Latin empire of Constantinople. Under John III and Theodore II, Nicaea prevailed as the legitimate successor to the Byzantine empire. In 1261, the Nicaean army cap- tured Constantinople and Michael VIII Palaiologos (1259–1282), who had seized the throne from the Laskarids, restored the Byzantine empire. Yet, despite the conquests of the Laskarids and the recovery of Constantinople by Michael VIII, much territory which had belonged to the Byzantine empire before the Fourth Crusade remained beyond imperial control.
  • Conversion of Kariye Museum to Mosque in Turkey

    Conversion of Kariye Museum to Mosque in Turkey

    Conversion of Kariye Museum to Mosque in Turkey August 24, 2020 A month after turning the iconic Hagia Sophia museum, originally a cathedral, into a mosque, Turkey’s government has decided to convert another Byzantine monument in Istanbul, which has been a museum for over 70 years, into a working mosque. Late last year, the Council of State, the highest administrative court in Turkey, had removed legal hurdles for the Chora (Kariye) museum’s reconversion into a mosque. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose Islamist AK Party has long called for the reconversion of the Ottoman-era mosques that were secularised by Kemalists, signed a decree, transferring the management of the medieval monument to the Directorate of Islamic Affairs. Kariye Museum Originally built in the early 4th century as a chapel outside the city walls of Constantinople built by Constantine the Great, the Chora Church was one of the oldest religious monuments of the Byzantine era and of eastern Orthodox Christianity. It’s believed that the land where the chapel was built was the burial site of Babylas of Antioch, a saint of Eastern Christians, and his disciples. Emperor Justinian I, who built Hagia Sophia during 532-537, reconstructed Chora after the chapel had been ruined by an earthquake. Since then, it has been rebuilt many times. Today’s structure is considered to be at least 1,000 years old. Maria Doukaina, the mother-in-law of Emperor Alexios Komnenos I, launched a renovation project in the 11th century. She rebuilt Chora into the shape of a quincunx, five circles arranged in a cross which was considered a holy shape during the Byzantine era.

Fine, Jr., Chair Professor Emeritus H. Don Cameron Professor Paul Christopher Johnson Professor Raymond H. Van Dam Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes © Alexander Borislavov Angelov 2011 To my mother Irina with all my love and gratitude ii Acknowledgements To put in words deepest feelings of gratitude to so many people and for so many things is to reflect on various encounters and influences. In a sense, it is to sketch out a singular narrative but of many personal “conversions.” So now, being here, I am looking back, and it all seems so clear and obvious. But, it is the historian in me that realizes best the numerous situations, emotions, and dilemmas that brought me where I am. I feel so profoundly thankful for a journey that even I, obsessed with planning, could not have fully anticipated. In a final analysis, as my dissertation grew so did I, but neither could have become better without the presence of the people or the institutions that I feel so fortunate to be able to acknowledge here. At the University of Michigan, I first thank my mentor John Fine for his tremendous academic support over the years, for his friendship always present when most needed, and for best illustrating to me how true knowledge does in fact produce better humanity.

Sumner HE CRITICAL PERIOD between the overthrow of Justinian II in T A.D. 711 and the elevation of Leo III in 717 saw a succession of three men briefly occupying the throne of Byzantium: Bar­ danes or Vardanes (Philippicus), Artemius (Anastasius II) and Theo­ dosius (III). Some minor chronological problems are presented by their reigns. Philippicus Philippicus was the son of a patridus, and he had been exiled under Tiberius III (Apsimarus) for reporting a dream in which he became Emperor (Theoph. 372). His predecessor, the Emperor Justinian II, was deposed as a result of being defeated in a battle at the twelfth milestone from Constantinople by forces supporting the claims of Philippicus. The date was 4 or 24 November 711.1 Justinian's head was cut off and his body thrown into the sea. Thus November 711 could be regarded as the date of Philippicus' accession. But he had actually been acclaimed Emperor somewhat earlier in that year, at Kherson by the armed forces operating there in 711 (Theoph. 379; Niceph. 46). This could affect calculations of the length of his reign. The date of Philippicus' deposition is given as the Saturday eve of Pentecost, apparently in his second year (Theoph. 383; Niceph. 49). This would be 3 June 713. Unfortunately, Theophanes (386) proceeds to give Philippicus a reign of 2 years 9 months. Reckoning back from the eve of Pentecost in 713 would bring us to about September 710, which is an impossible date for Philippicus' accession, whatever type of calculation be adopted.
  • A Chronological Particular Timeline of Near East and Europe History

    A Chronological Particular Timeline of Near East and Europe History

    Introduction This compilation was begun merely to be a synthesized, occasional source for other writings, primarily for familiarization with European world development. Gradually, however, it was forced to come to grips with the elephantine amount of historical detail in certain classical sources. Recording the numbers of reported war deaths in previous history (many thousands, here and there!) initially was done with little contemplation but eventually, with the near‐exponential number of Humankind battles (not just major ones; inter‐tribal, dynastic, and inter‐regional), mind was caused to pause and ask itself, “Why?” Awed by the numbers killed in battles over recorded time, one falls subject to believing the very occupation in war was a naturally occurring ancient inclination, no longer possessed by ‘enlightened’ Humankind. In our synthesized histories, however, details are confined to generals, geography, battle strategies and formations, victories and defeats, with precious little revealed of the highly complicated and combined subjective forces that generate and fuel war. Two territories of human existence are involved: material and psychological. Material includes land, resources, and freedom to maintain a life to which one feels entitled. It fuels war by emotions arising from either deprivation or conditioned expectations. Psychological embraces Egalitarian and Egoistical arenas. Egalitarian is fueled by emotions arising from either a need to improve conditions or defend what it has. To that category also belongs the individual for whom revenge becomes an end in itself. Egoistical is fueled by emotions arising from material possessiveness and self‐aggrandizations. To that category also belongs the individual for whom worldly power is an end in itself.

No onearea played a dominantrole in colonizing Aiolis, nor is sucha widespread colonizationsupported by the archaeologicalrecord.

It is situated to the southwest of the ancient city and rises to an elevation of 1883 ft. [574 m.]. Today it is surrounded by walls that are about 1.85 mi. [3 km.] long. The foundations of the fortifications are ancient—going back to the Hellenistic Period. The current walls were built and rebuilt by the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottoman Turks. Climb up and visit the fortress. Then proceed to the Ancient city of Corinth. It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church, subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament. Here, we see all of the sites associated with his ministry: the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Bema and Gallio’s Seat.
